re: the which site is softer question

my experience mostly lies in the areas of 100NL and 200NL and, from what i've seen, full tilt is somewhat softer at those levels than pokerstars. i think a big reason for this, though, is that those are the stakes where the FPP grinders start to come out in full force. sure, full tilt has their own points, but that rewards system doesn't really measure up to stars'. so 100NL and 200NL on stars sees many solid reg grinders. most of them are unspectacular and exploitable, sure, but you'll win money more quickly against complete donks and maniacs, and i think full tilt has a larger portion of them and fewer solid regs at these levels

[F Paulsson]

Had immediate position on the worst player I've seen at 1/2, and he had a 1000BB stack when I went to work. This was the key hand.

He was an 80/12 who waited until the river to raise his monsters. So when he raises the flop, he has at least a mediocre hand, but not a set and not a straight. Possibly an overpair, but unlikely to be better than mine as he liked to play big cards fast preflop.

Biggest pot yet for me.

[Debi]

Very nice FP!

 

[F Paulsson]

Actually, that hand deserves just a little comment:

My 3-bet on the flop was not just for value (which, vs. button, it certainly was) but also to find out what the CO was doing. Had he called, I would have been done with the hand (barring spiking a nine). He was pretty tight and wouldn't call that flop 3-bet with anything that I'd be interested in continuing versus.

So the raise was for value vs. the button and as a "bluff" vs. the cut-off in the hopes that he would either define his hand ($100 with $500 left behind is well invested money for that cause) or he would fold. I suspected he might even fold some better hands than mine to my 3-bet. And, as icing on the cake, CO posted this hand on Stox awhile ago and asked about his flop decision.

He had KK.

 

[switch0723]

very sweet FP, how long were you at the table (all 5 of you) to all have mega deep stacks?

I just finished an epic game of HULHE against a complete fish, decided to just single table which is rare for me when in limit mode but this guy was just easy money. After 300 hands i was down 50BB's, coz i suck ldo and villain hit a lot of gutshots and quads >full house didnt help but meh.

500 hands later i finished up 40BB's before he left. Limit swongements ftw

 

[F Paulsson]

I had played maybe 180 hands at the table when this one came up. The reason stacks were so deep was because pots got huge very often.

 

[Irexes]

Awesome FP

When I do that they always (always) have at least three pair

 

[eNTy]

I feel tiny compared to a lot of the cash players here in this thread but I'll post it anyway. (Tiny in hand amounts, time played and profit) But I turned a profit in 5nl since I started October 5 and well here is the graph. Here's to it staying North bound eh.

What was his read on the situation?


A while back I folded JJ when A6 donked the flop into 4 of us, TT stacked the A6
