I dont think he is good either, but he has one of the cooler screenames on Stars and that is endearing.

changed my mind after playing a few hours with him this morning. ****ing awful. basically opens any two suited from any position. bloats pots because he wont ever fold if he has any peice no matter the action. makes tons of laggy raises but then doesnt follow through just bloating the pot and giving up

Wow NWooch played that hand expert, which is very surprising.

Oh and PS when NWooch bets this flop against the 2 blinds, a cr with an underpair is way spewy. I know I have given you this same feedback on the Bay 101 hand and I know Schneids is god (Not sure which hand he makes this play or in what video), but Wooch isnt betting this flop with overcards unless he has a huge flushdraw.

SunDancer moved up pretty quickly, I remember playing with him a few months ago at 1/2 & 2/4. I had him rated as "meh".

Over a 5k sample, I have Sundancer folding BB to Steal only 6%! He seems to play much more straightforward where the blinds aren't concerned though. Also, he seems to tilt really easily for someone multitabling.

Screw Stars. I wanted myself some $100 StubHub gift certificates. They were like 7000 VPP's.

Is .47 vpp/ hand for 2/4 still considered accurate?

I have been trying to figure out my rakeback %. If the .47 is accurate I come up w 26.6% for Supernova buying the $4000 cash option. This is worse than I expected.

TO figure it out I looked at all my 2/4 hands for this year and divided the MGR by hands and came up with $0.0989 in rake per hand. I then divided that by my fpp $ value per hand, and came up with the 26.6. I am hoping that this is wrong.

$3/6 is way better at .7+ VPP per hand, btw. Although I guess I was always calculating my RB% by my rake paid and not MGR.

And how many VPP's/hand do you make at 5/T and T/20?

I don't know. I started playing $5/10 and $10/20 after I switched to PT3 and I don't know how to calculate VPP w/PT3. I'm pretty sure $5/10 is better than 1 VPP/hand, maybe almost 1.2, and $10/20 is at least 1.4 VPP/hand, maybe more like 1.5.

I have 10/20 at 1.34 VPP/hand and 5/10 at 1.20. 5/10 is from a much much larger DB.

my estimates were always 1.1 at 5/10 and either 1.4 or 1.5 at 10/20 over decent samples

probably depends on your game selection and playing style

Dont know if that came up already, but what is the deal with "marchinvest", is he testing out some new shortstack-strategy in FL? He buys in with 100$ in 10/20 and reloads only to 100, when his stack is gone.
