Re: A brave new world for poker pros? Yeah right.
Skansky wrote an essay stating that when your opponents are playing anything, you don't win that much money with your mediocre hands. You make money by winning a ton more when you have premium hands (e.g. high pocket pairs) and get paid off all the way. The value of hand reading against a good player has got to be less than the overlay you have playing better starting hands against a terrible player for multiple bets.

Re: turnipmonster and NL
Two local pros who played 10-20 for years here are now almost exclusively playing NL at Bellagio. They feel the same way as turnip.

Re: A brave new world for buyins
Sin-
Yes, that is a bit low, but this guy doesn't get involved in too many pots. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] For me, 20 big bets seems a good place to start, unles there are humongous stacks on the game. Some people like to keep their buy-ins smaller because they feel it makes them play tighter. Babe [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Re: A brave new world for buyins
PokerBabe,
Sounds like you've got a great gig going on the dayshift with a bunch of people who are afraid of their own shadows. You are smart to buy in for 20 bets, but the guys who buy in short stacked are being very foolish. How would they like to be all-in with a straight flush against a nut flush and quads? (I've seen it happen). I've been playing at night, but I think I'm going to have to stop by and check out the dynamics of the dayshift crowd.

But it could also cause them to play overtight. there-by missing some profitable situations. Essentially, so tight it strangles part of their profits. 12.5 BBs is barely over a maxed hand up here. 1 hand. It's one thing to buy in for that much knowing you will rebuy later, but another to limit one's session to this amount. That would be unreasonable. b

Re: A brave new world for Sin on Dayshift
Sin,
You are certainly welcome to check out my gig, but remember one thing; when an "old school" player raises you on the turn, run spot run. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] LGPG, See you on the 10-5 shift [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Babe [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Re: turnipmonster
fwiw, I almost never play anything but PL/NL live, but online I much prefer limit, mainly because I feel that earn is higher (obviously variance is higher as well) than in NL. plus, there aren't enough big NL games on the site I play (party). to me the main value of playing online is the increased volume of hands, and the game where that increases my earn the most is limit. for NL/PL, I don't mind a slow game but need to watch and know my opponents as well as the table rhythm to make good decisions.
