That is garish to look at...

With respect to other stuff, I totally get it. The break will do you good in all likelihood, and if you're not enjoying the game, it's def time to make a change. GL going forward!

Yea, It came out differently when posted. I previewed post and it was fine. Future hands I might just use plain text format

 

[Matt Vaughan]

Previewing and/or editing often effs it all up. You usually have to post as is for some of the pre-formatted ones.

 

[Mase31683]

Where's everyone been at? Finally got to play a little bit today, first time in quite awhile.

 

[Matt Vaughan]

Thread's not popular. We set out to crush the micro's. Everyone's done it now obv.

Naw, idk, people have migrated more to individual cash threads for some reason.

 

[ScottishMatt]

I'm still here!

Lies - all lies...

 

[duggs]

i can post here swell, i just tend to post my hands in my own thread.
cliffs are i am swinging lots at 50 but winning, and losing badly at 100, and bricking all tourneys i enter. std?

 

[Mase31683]

@Duggs - Sounds standard to me

Coming back and playing online is so sad to me. To see just how crushed and killed the game I loved so much truly is here in the US.

Even on weekends, I'm often opening my own tables to try and get more games running. Playing $100nl, even $50nl if you crushed hard enough was a viable option as a full time job before.

Now there's 1.5 $100nl games running, a couple $50nl, and 1 $600nl. Why would I ever even try to play those when I could go play $200-$1knl live and get way higher winrates for way less trouble?

 

[micromachine]

I'll post here some more too

I'm currently tackling 16nl and 16nl deep on Stars and playing mtts when I have time. Got some funds on 888 too and playing 10nl there.

 

[ScottishMatt]

I just turned pro lurker is all. Started playing online again like yesterday. Just to keep my thought process at it's peak.

 

[Logan2]

888 is treating me well so far.



Finding Ed Miller Small Stakes book really interesting.

And also been reading Elky's The Raiser's edge for tourneys.

[DrazaFFT]

Is that 10nl Logan? Looking good!!!!!!

 

[Logan2]

^^Is 4nl, 6nl &10nl^^
​

 

[Logan2]

I´m tryng to figure why 888 feels so much softer than Stars but still can´t see why is that, at first think was because the amount of fish on 888 is bigger than on Stars,
but comparing the tables available on my level looks actually similar at peak hours.

Stars tables available for 10



888 tables available for 10


If players by flop is very similar then I´m just on a heater on 888 and that´s why feel softer?

If that´s the case then playing 888 after heater end should make no difference in theory vs Stars, rigth?.

What i´m missing?


​

 

[BluffMeAllIn]

Worse regs perhaps , but the fish are rampent on 888 that I'm seeing and I know they are at the lower limits on stars too but seems they are ALWAYS around on 888 whereas lately on stars i wind up on tables where it seems they must have already been stacked and left lol.

At a 4nl table last night had a guy jamming 100bb everyhand for a while I'm sure he lost at least 5bi+ before he decided to up and leave lol, i got two of them haha which was good cause started of the session down 3bi like boom boom boom to fish on top range or hooked a hand on the river or hooked a boat with A5 vs my trip A with J kicker...horrific start but nice end.

Not sure what 10 is like there, but figure I'll find out in a couple of weeks hopefully am now officially rolled at 25bi for 4nl, so likely be mixing in a few more 6nl tables soon.

Heater or no we take it while we got it right.

 

[redwards92]

Lol logan this is not the rig tard thread . Also i dont agree with the idea that players per flop = skill level.

 

[Mase31683]

Stars only had 10 $10nl tables running? So has all poker been kicked in the teeth by black friday that hard?

I mean there were games 24/7 always before

 

[duggs]

there are 24/7 games and heaps of them, id be very surprised unless it was a serveer restart

 

[vinylspiros]

Yea, the tables on stars are countless. There is absolutely no limit to the games you can find on the spot 24/7.

 

[Logan2]

Tables show on Stars are only with sits available same with 888, so yes, only those was the tables available at the time, sure the diference is that if show full tables running you can see hundreds of tables,
but if are full still need to get on waiting list with numbers from 2 to 10+ people waiting by table, so they are like empty tables if need to wait unknown time to can start playing.

If a table got a open then will show in lobby even with filter.

Zoom games are always running and never have issues there but if want to play reg tables and table select then is not that easy. And not saying games not run, is not that bad like FTP for example,
that never recover and after more than a year still strugle to run games. i do know that FullRing on Stars is dying though, and people need to mix levels on 50nl+to can play.

6max is not that bad at peak times, but not 24/7 like before.


​

 

[Logan2]

Also, you guys underestimate how screw is poker and how games geting harder make people drop and stop playing, i was reading that just compared with last year in same month Stars playerpool is 10% less when suposed to be growing (poker scout).

All world legislations make Stars break his playerpool really often and need to open individual/separate sites for some countrys, like France (.fr), Spain (.es) , Italy (.it), last couple months people was talking about Russia will be banned too which will mean a large part of playerpool (and most fishies), not happen yet but not mean could happen soon, my country (Mexico) supossed to be banned too on September, so is not like playerpools are geting bigger everyday.

On not peak times and even using easy-sit feature there is some times where software say no tables available. For usa players, easy-sit on stars is a feature that software open tables for you when available (like table ninja but is a Star feature).

Pretty much one of the reasons i love zoom is this, no need to worry to table select or if tables brake or need to get on waiting list, all that is a huge distractor at least for me.

 

[duggs]

Man doomsday much? Cheer up. Having tables full that you have to wait for is drastically different to no games running.

Games aren't getting that much tougher. Regs are still bad everywhere

 

[loafes]

888 is super fishy in all games. Some reasons could include a lot of fish coming in from the casino, plus I know at 2nl probably 4nl as well you get a lot of that free $8 being donated. Plus the software is more cut out for recreational players combined with the higher rake which fish probably don't realise. I also think the regs are a lot worse.
