Interesting Poker Stars Observation

Just started playing PokerStars and I have noticed something at the low limits --

Not only are the bad players just as fishy as Party, but many of them multi-table. So, you have multiple chances to take their money.

How low are you talking about here?

I had players at $1-$2 flagged as fish, and saw a lot of bad play. Then noticed those same players at 3 and 4 tables.

limit holdem you mean? i frequent 1/2 NL and i know several 2+2'ers who do as well. ya the fish are plenty but most dont multitable.

Yes, limit games. I just thought it was interesting that on Party the fish pretty much are at 1 table (lately a 6-max one), while at Stars there is a greater tendency for them to multi-table.

And I had a guy start berating a player when he got his KK cracked after limping in with it on the button. Beat by the SB who had 99, flopped a set, and raised and re-raised it all the way. In the ensuring conversation between the two (after the player had made statements like he never raises AA because he always gets beat), he admited to also playing at two NL tables at the same time.

So this chump was not only multi-tabling, he was mixing NL with Limit games at the same time.

PS is definately a gold mine. Even with .10 and .20 limit , max multitabling with no thinking robotic SSH play makes a huge profit and the no-rake taken is a nice bonus.Can't wait for my BR to reach the .25/.50 tables.

I don't understand your example.

Are you saying not to call in the SB with 99 to a late position raise?

Or that he was bad for multiple raises later with a disguised hand?

Party's fishiness as compared to Stars has always been overblown IMO. Don't get me wrong, Party is probably the fishiest, but not much more so than Stars. There's plenty of money to be made in those games (up to and including $200NL at least).

I'am about 25k hands into limit.05/.10 on PS. (BB/100 4.5) My observation is.. anyone with a child or self portrait as their avatar is an ATM. It's a vague assumption but steadily being proven.
