*****(Loose) Aggressive April Chat Thread*****

Have a stag weekend coming up. Going to a place called Doolin in the West of Ireland. The place has a grand total of one pub. Should be interesting.

 

[BelgoSuisse]

I have a leak: My bluffs get called and my value bets don't. Help, please?

Table select better, imo. Playing against soul readers is -EV.

Or do what combu says.

Is there a column in the lobby for tables where my opponent don't always hit their backdoor flushes?

Sample size? Also, we want HH proof about this "always" thing, otherwise we may have to ask the other mods to escort you to the rigtards' threat...

Zzzzz. Call me when you're 5-bet min-raise bluffing, and then I'll be impressed.

Button steals 49% from button, SB 3bets 17% of steals from SB. Absolutely perfect spot

There's a "3bet steals from SB" stat?

Don't mind me; I'm just steaming from a 20 buy-in downswing where I feel like I'm getting outplayed left and right in every significant pot.

That is significant. Did you have to move down ?


Oh and I searched our friend from yesterday, the spewer, and he was playing a 50 FTP satty and a 250 play money sit n go.
So I'm afraid he's in busto ville .

I can tell you it's a "fantastic" way to start a semi-pro career too.

BTW I did a little random sampling last night.

9 of PokerStars Best Tables (100nl FR) = Average VPIP of 21

9 completely random Full Tilt Tables (100nl FR) = Average VPIP of 19

Yes, sample sizing for players at stars was greater. Yes, its 1 random night worth of grabbing tables. But I was curious, maybe you were too.

So why compare Stars best tables to random FT tables?

It actually started with quite an upswing. I'm break-even for the month.

 

[Tygran]

his main point is that stars is waaay nittier than FT (at $100 NL anyway) since the best Stars tables are surprisingly comparable to any random FT table.


*obviously an unscientific study but seems to be a generally accepted conclusion
