how many buddies on your list?

Sometimes I wonder about the most mundane things, like how many buddies you all keep on your buddy lists.

Do you have so many buddies that you usually don't have trouble finding at least one at any given time?

I think you should move your post to another area. This is heads up and short handed.

I have about 80 buddies on my list. Alot of them bust out or change limits or hide themselves so usually I can find only 3-6 during evening hours when I play.

I'm not a hard core dataminer but I will datamine 8 tables or so overnight once or twice a week and also some weekend days. If my buddies get hard to find I go into PT and sort all of the players by VPIP. If they have a VPIP > 60 and have more than 50 hands or so in the last couple of weeks I manually add them to my buddy list. Seems to keep the supply fresh enough.

I have roughly 2,000. I have them separated. I stopped using them for the most part except for the list with the superfish

I think that people with fourteen posts aren't yet in a position to judge such things.

172. There are always several online but only sometimes one or more playing 10/20.

I don't want to get too caught up in this. Maybe this thread belongs elsewhere. But I was also curious how successful six-max players in particular are in locating their buddies.

I've only played at Party for a few months, and have tiny number of players on my list. I can virtually never find my buddies. But already, I've gained some perspective on this.

2,000 people on a list? Wow.

I think it's a fine topic to discuss in HUSH among HUSH posters.

My plan is this. Every couple of weeks I kill the entire list, and refresh using a little automated app (that I can't find the link to anymore, but it's on 2+2 somewhere) from my PT database using criteria of roughly VPIP>50 PFR<10.

I find that, with limited exceptions, most of the really good fish don't last much longer than a couple of weeks.

I'll also insta-add anyone on my table who is particularly juicy.

I have about 220 right now. I keep my master list in an Excel spreadsheet along with the date that I last saw them. If they haven't been around for a couple of months then I drop them. I use BuddyCopy to sync my master list with the Party skins that I use.
