3-5 handed?

[therockofgibraltar]

Started clearing Eurobets $600 bonus but noticed that their shorthanded tables are 5 max! And almost always the tables break down and it really is 3-4 handed. ANy tips how to play? I find myself raising really thin and so far it is not working.

Today I had -60BB session. Maybe I should move back to party where there are at least 6 players in the table!

I had the same experience there. I was never really able to get into a groove, and that combined with the aweful rake gave me about a 12k breakeven stretch clearing various PokerRoom bonuses.

I also found that you can nearly never steal the blinds. They always call, no matter what. Towards the end I started dropping my Ax type hands because I just felt like I was spewing. It probably wouldn't be a huge mistake to limp with these types of hands if the blinds are loose and will pay you off if an A hits, but you can get away from it otherwise.

One sweet option with their software is the "Classify Player" option. I did this a ton and it was real easy to spot good tables because the colored dot shows up on the main menu.

I was playing 5/m at pokerroom, and the variance is higher. You will have to be more aggressive, but the standard player-specific defaults apply. For example, aggression work well against an opponant who is still playing "fit or fold." You have to wait for better hands with overly aggro players.

I don't know exactly but lets assume that one player was always missing (thats how I remember it). So there are 4 players playing. Is 27/20 too aggro in 2/4? These number are my current stats in Eurobet. Postflop is: 2.8 / 2.9 / 1.8

Sample size is ridiculous small ~500. I have a feeling I ws loosing due to bad luck BUT just wanted to make sure are those number too agg??

I'm at work right now, but those numbers looked about like mine did. I spewed a lot 3 handed, so I just started leaving when it got that short. I also ran pretty bad there, a TON of suckouts on the river...oh well, what can you do.

Ditto for sucking there as well. Stupid river. I kinda started pussing out though so I've returned to Party for a little to remind myself what it's like to win.

What does 'fit or fold' mean?

Word.

Also, after looking at my PT stats and realizing I would have been about 1BB/100 at PStars vs. -.5BB/100 at Pokeroom due to Rake, I didn't feel quite so bad.

[therockofgibraltar]

I am with you guys! I must have lost ~90 % from that -60BB to suckouts on river! Whats wrong with this site [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Pretend you're playing 6m and the EP's have folded.
