Obligatory \"Is Party 3/6 tightening up?\" thread
Okay, I know these threads come up all the time, and I hate them more than the next guy, but over the past few days I have seriously been noticing that Party 3/6 has been quite tight. I'm currently looking around and having a very hard time finding a table with a VPIP > 25%. Seems as if there are just tons of < 15% VPIPs hanging around, probably multitabling (I blame college kids without summer jobs).
Anyone else finding this as well? If not, feel free to reply with the obligatory "You're crazy."

Re: Obligatory \"Is Party 3/6 tightening up?\" thread
Last night was crazy. I found some great tables that made me think I was back at .5/1. Someone with 90+ VPIP, couple with 80+, and a few more with 30-40+. Helped make it a 5BB/100 night which would have been higher if I didn't make the worst fold ever. Needless to say, NEVER think you are outkicked by someone who reraises and has a VPIP of 70 when your kicker is a T, even when they are very passive.

Re: Obligatory \"Is Party 3/6 tightening up?\" thread
Sorry to hijack the thread this early but somehow I find the statments:
"too many multi-tablers on party" and "we're not valuable to party" contradictory. Yes I agree that $3-6 is getting tighter and tighter. I hope college kids will loosen things up in the summer and that granny is right and sites will start a massive ad campaign during/after WSOP.

Switch to NL. Since 2/10/05 I've logged two losing days. I'm not rich but I'm happy. [/ QUOTE ] I used to play NL actually, maybe I'll give it a shot again. Those 6-max NL tables are sweeeeet.

Re: Obligatory \"Is Party 3/6 tightening up?\" thread
I'm seriously thinking of moving down to 2/4 because of the tight 3/6 games. I'm hoping to beat the 2/4 games for 3bb/100 which would be the same as beating 3/6 for 2bb (minus the difference in rakeback).
Since I'm only beating the 3/6 for 1.5 bb/100 anyways, this would hopefully increase my win rate. Last year I was beating 3/6 at a little bit over 2bb/100 . I guess I could just work on improving my game instead of moving down because I can't hack it at 3/6. Not sure what I will do, yet. I think the tightness of 3/6 has to do with the fact that it is relatively easy to beat without having to be an expert in poker. It's sort of like the top limit for the 'good' players so everyone that has read a few books and practiced for a bit gravitates to multi-tabling 3/6. Anything higher takes a lot more time and effort and anything lower isn't worth the time to a lot of people. At least that's my opinion.
