Also, I'm pretty sure thats without the checkbox selected that says "Do not include hands folded" or something.
He's gonna be on the + side with all the hands he's showed down, he's most likely getting murdered in the blinds and pushed off winners on the other streets. Based on his stats, I'd be surprised if he's even showed down any high card hands at all.

Is that checkbox new? That does change things a lot. Still many of your high card hands will be one where you miss your draw and your opponent checks the river so you get to showdown. The same is true when you are on a draw and make a small pair on the river and your opponent wimps out and stops betting his higher pair.

While I agree with most of you post, why should he go to sex-max, which is a looser game, when he is obviosuly too tight. The only reason I could see him playing six-max is to learn how to be looser, and see how many winners he's folding.

6-max can be a mindblower for a weak tight player, and very unprofitable if he stays weak tight, but it's a fantastic way to learn how to push slight edges, play people, and open up your game. Playing some 6-max is actually a really good way for weak tight players to improve their game.

heh

I'm glad I read this post, because I just discovered the checkbox thing [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Makes WAY more sense too, only shows you hands you actually WANTED to continue with (ie, not bottom pair nk on flop.)

1/2$ sucks

1/2 plays like .50/1 but for twice the stakes. all the posts about the game being filled with TAGs and rocks are inaccurate imo. game is very beatable.
