Kill Party, but can't beat UB, Stevolley2, 15. Sep 2003 07:06
    View ( Message | Thread )       Return to Thread List
I have played at all the sites for about a year now and have made a nice killing at Party, but can't seem to beat UB, I think it is for two reasons, I play too loose at UB, which playing loose is my game at Party, and I am under bankrolled.

Please compare the type of game necessary to win at Party and UB. Thanks

with all due respect Steve, I think you need to play the same game. I have been very profitable at both Party and UB, but Party might have, on the average, looser games.

So you might have gotten away with some things at Party that you wouldn't get away with on UB as often. But in general, if you play the same game, you should be profitable at both provided you stay within the limit range you are comfortable with.

If you are playing "too loose" as you say at UB, that would explain getting killed there. A pretty straighforward ABC game, tight and aggressive should net profitable results over the long term in the low limit games at either site.

I am far from an expert Steve but have been very profitable on both sites playing predominantly $1-2 and $2-4 limit games.

I'd suspect the difference is more about short-term luck. I just don't think the sites are different enough to require fundamentally different strategies. IMHO, you need to adapt to the table, not the site.

That said, if you find that you're consistently winning at Party and losing at UB **you should play exclusively at Party**. Why play a game you're expecting to lose?
