Party 5-10; why so few posts?

[noir]

Hey twoers,
The subject just about says it all. We see so many histories and such from 2-4 and 3-6. 5-10 falls into the guidelines, but we see so little discussion about it. Are folks just multi-tabling their way up from 3-6 to 15-30 or something?
Personally I prefer to focus on one table (I like working the fine lines and find it helps in b&m).
Thanks in advance.

the vast majority of readers/posters, even some of the more respected posters, don't have the bankrolls for 5-10. the games also start getting noticeably harder.

as for focusing on one table... that's cool and all... but most of the multi-tablers are doing it to supplement (or, in fact, as their primary source of) their income. one tabling, when one could be four+ tabling, is lost money.

everyone plays 5-10 shorthanded so all the 5-10ers post in heads-up shorhand forum.

I've never played 5/10 or higher, but the general consensus seems to be that 5/10 full is one of the toughest games on Party, so a lot of 2+2'ers either play 5/10 SH (as already mentioned) or skip directly up to 10/20 or 15/30.

BR also has something to do with it, but I suspect that a lot of the regulars playing 3/6 or even 2/4 have sufficient funds to play 5/10, if they wanted.

I play full-ring 5/10 and I find it to be only slightly tougher than 3/6. (table selection becomes more important and then after that it is the same as 3/6)

This guy doesn't know what he's talking about. I play the Party 5/10 regularly, and it's the toughest game I've ever encountered. I would strongly recommend that all 2+2'ers avoid this game. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I've played lots of hands at 5/10 ring on party (like 100k+ hands) and it is rough. Who would want to play that crap? There is much more money to be had at 2/4 or 3/6. I might be able to win .5 BB/100 at 5/10 but if I can do 2 BB/100 at 2/4 then why bother?

What do you think the reason is that 5/10 ring is tougher than 10/20 or 15/30? Also, why is the shorthanded 5/10 easier than the ring?

CinnamonWind made a point about 5/10 games having a loose-tight feel to them. It pretty much means that people don't chase after the flop (without odds of course) eventhough they are willing to take slightly the worst of it preflop. So while it is beatable, it is hard to beat at a good clip. There just aren't enough LAGs or tourists to make it really profitable.

I'm not really sure, but we've had about 2 years worth of posts about how tough the 5/10 games are and how soft the other limits are. As for me, I'm just a glutton for punishment, so I choose to play the 5/10.
