Re: ***Official Stars Regs Thread***

1/2 can be really tough if you suck at table selecting

it's the entry level for VPP grinders

but if you table select well it's very easy to end up on a table in position against 1-3 loose passives that will call you down with 3rd pair (or worse)

I mean, i thought 2/4 was soft but 1/2 seems incredible to me.


Any thoughts from a 1/2 - 2/4 reg?
The level below the one you are used to always seems easier.

Is MarchInvest2 the luckiest player on earth?
I think he is a SNE and frequents the 10/20 and 15/30 on Stars.

He is the guy I have lost the most to in my database and he is miles in front of #2. (around 3x the $ amount compared to #2) When he plays he only has 2 gears: bet/raise or fold and he bet/raises every piece of any flop and hits 100% of his draws.

I'm playing 1/2 and 2/4 atm depending on how focused / prepared I feel and would say that the average 1/2 table is significantly softer than the average 2/4 table. I make 1BB/100 more at 1/2 than I do at 2/4.

Re: ***Official Stars Regs Thread***

1/2 games are pretty taggy tonight. There are so many games with 6 tags playing. I remember last January being like this too.

Re: ***Official Stars Regs Thread***

Uber duper grunch.

Apologies in advance if this is not to be asked or if it already has but I'm curious how many FPP or VPP are given per hand at 2/4, 3/6 and if possible 5/10? I'm looking at transfering to Stars just for aiming at 400k/500k to get milestones, etc. which I've read are worth 38k total and this will help me pay rent sense I will be busy with Airforce ROTC, school, and MMA training so I will not have time for a job.

Please do not laugh at me...

Re: ***Official Stars Regs Thread***

ca per 100 hands.:

at 2/4 = 45 VPPs
at 3/6 = 75 VPPs
at 5/10=110VPPs

the FPPs u get depends on ur status. When ure Supernova it will be good, other ones like gold or platinum suck though.


np, ure only the 1Mth person who asked for this
