Party getting tight? Just me?

[Webster]

AT 2/4 the last 8 sessions have all been in the 34% range. What's up. I really don't mind although I'm getting spanked every night (I'm hitting hi flushs right and left an losing).

Just me? Where are the fish at 2/4. Have they moved up??

I think it might just be tables. I just moved up to 2/4 from 1/2, and it seems like I'm in the middle of fish heaven. I would say atleast 60% seeing the flop. Although many times they make you pay more for it.

Very fishy IMHO.

A game with 34% seeing the flop sounds nice and soft to me.

34% SOFT?? 15,000 hands the average is 39%. However since Janurary the average has dipped to 37%.

65% is soft and not hard to find.

in 15,000 hands at Party I've only played at 1 table that was over 50%.

Party is typical - certainly not soft.

It goes in waves depending how many rookies hit the tables. I found the games at 2/4 much softer in December (during the day EST) than October. (Especially during Christmas break time) But once the new year started the same senders disappeared at the games became loose aggressive, and tough to beat. As a whole the whenever I look at the fulltable averages the games are tighter than they were during the day. But relatively tight doesn't mean its a rock garden either. There are still blind defenders of the faith and ace to the river chasers............

I think it just depends on the table. I recently moved up from 1/2 to 2/4, and my bankroll is getting plumped up nicely [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]. However, I don't hesitate to jump off of a table, even as quickly as after only one orbit, if it looks like a rock garden. In fact, sometimes I'll jump through three different tables in less than thirty minutes before finding one that looks good.

If you can't beat a 34% game its likely you need to work on your play more than game selection.

Not to be harsh but Party games are soft.

If this flop % is too low, switch tables. The biggest money making skill any poker player can have is game selection.

ALl with over 1000 hands - flop %% at Party 2/4

November 40.1%
December 40.4%
January 40.2%
Feburary 39.3%
March 38.6%
April 37.6%

Who said anything about not being able to beat 34% tables. I'm not worried. I have to think that after 25,000 hands and making 3.45 BB per 100 that this is a bad run of cards.

I'm breaking even for April which won't kill the bank!

I was just commenting that every table I'v played lately I have 7 people with less then 30% V$Pot playing

I thought the 2/4 games were getting a little tighter unil a few days ago. Still, I have had little trouble beating the games. A lot of the tight players are pretty weak and easy to bluff if you get them heads up. Apparently the latest round of bonuses brought back a lot of clueless fish. It looked like it did a year ago. Lot's of folks calling all the way (and showing) rag-rag no pair, 3 or for cold calls with pre-flop tree-bets, check cold-call on the flop, etc.
