 Question about limits, Williams21, 12. Nov 2003 17:59 | ||

| Hello all, For the last few months I've been playing the 3/6 at Partypoker and I had good success. However, I recently had to take most of my money out due to an emergency and I'm left with only enough to play the 1/2. For the last week ive been trying the 1/2 shorthanded and full ring game and I'm only breaking even. This is discouraging as I feel I was doing a lot better in the 3/6 game. Today alone my AA's (3) were beat by 77, 88, and 4-8o. I know that bad beats happen, but I have a question for everyone on this forum. Do you find that the 1/2 game on Party might be too fishy to make money with a rake? Would waiting until I could put 600 in my account and going back at the 3/6 be a better idea than trying to build from a 1/2? This question might have been answered already, but any help would be really great. Thanks a lot. | ||

| Can a game really be too fishy? Those fish won't win forever, you just need to be there when they start losing. Also, I read recently that against a full table of people who like to see lots of flops, turns and rivers, AA will only hold up about 1/3 of the time. I don't have the patience to try and do all the math for myself, but that seems correct from my own experience. So, 0:3 is not that far off. Also, 77 and 88 aren't really fishy hands. If there weren't a ton of overcards or straight and flush draws showing, you can't blame them for hanging in there (at the $1/$2 tables, anyway), especially if they hit their sets on the flop. You could try the $25 buyin no-limit games or try moving down to $.50/$1 until you get the hang of swimming with all those fish. In my opinion, it's important to know how to beat a table full of fish. I think you can learn a lot about your own game by how it holds up against the bozos and maniacs. Here's something that I have found helpful against large numbers of 39o players and river chasers: don't bother playing at all from early position unless you've got a beast of a hand like AA, KK or AK (obviously this doesn't apply if no one raises your blind). Wait to get better position. The weak players aren't very crafty and you can save yourself a lot of money by waiting until you're playing behind most of them. SpaceAce | ||

| Williams i advise you play the 25NL tables at party, they are both soft and not TO fishy but fishy enough that you can expect profit. Play a tight aggressive game, that way when you have a big hand like aces you can shut people out while isolating one fish and pummel him for his weak hand playing. | ||

Don't leave out Axsuited from the blinds or early position. Check raising the turn and betting the river...when they almost all call you down every damn time hahaha > > SpaceAce > | ||
