***Official IPOKER/ONGAME/MPN/PARTY/MERGE/REVOLUTION Regulars Thread**** - Page 108 - Small Stakes Pot Limit Omaha

the whole game revolves fighting over the dead money (blinds+antes) so i would say having ante games is a huge improvement, no matter how deep or shallow. makes it more fun

Now if you imply collusion, I can't be sure and still doesn't justify preflop shoves (with jjtk for example), that's pure gambling. My stats for sjohnny200 are 45/31/16 which can mean two things; He understimates his opponents or he's just gambling. Postflop though he seems to take nice risks in marginal situations and gets paid huge when he has the goods. Lags like nimdjid and sjohnny200 do well in 2/2 but don't know if they could make profit in 5/5 against decent opponents. The nice thing about ongame is that you see bad players like cockie and rockey27 who don't know if the fold button exists to have many winning sessions and makes you wonder if this is the last network where is still dead money left..

the window of opportunities is definitely closing quickly at ongame if you dont use seating scripts. take handsinpants, he won big from jun12 until november12 from then on he is more or less breakeven/rakeback pro. higher stakes games barely run and obviously if you have the patience to wait out to get a game, you will be rewarded with a somewhat better than average game. rakeback at ongame is pretty crappy, too. clearly the good thing about playing a lag style pre like sjohnny is that some donkeys cannot distinguish between pre and postflop and start paying off like crazy. in my small sample he has also hit a lot.

Ah, so ante tables are only up to plo 50 now. "100bb+ min" sounds like you can buy in for more than 100. 100bb min/max is weird.

With the weak $, stakes have been raised quite a bit, almost 40%. Also as I've mentioned before, they are also raking up to 40% more because of this...

It's very debatable what the exact inpact to us is, but in any case they will need to increase the liquidity from net depositors through increased marketing efforts in order to make up for charging 40% more in fees. Intuitively to me this doesn't seem like an easy task, so what I think is most likely is that the sites just end up taking more money out of the economy.
Less net depositors means less winning players means decline of the poker economy due to unsustainability of a larger population.

Let pokervvip play as many accounts as he likes imo. Highly doubtful he's a multiaccounter, just a vampire who will die if he sees any sunlight.

I played six hours today and didn't even realize there were no usd tables. Sick observation skills on my part.

Really would be nice if the ante tables were deep...

I could just be really unobservant but he always plays very much the same style so doubt it's two different people

Lol at thinking that there are two people on that account. If there were, it would be raking every day; instead, it takes days and weeks off, which is quite explainable for a singular human as he gets tired playing for so long.

Not sure how u both observe the tables, but playing SO differently, cant be noticed. U have to be blind, or u are just accepting that someone is multiaccounting...

well theres both a pokervvip and a pokervvvip so maybe different people and 2 different accounts. I just assumed pokervvvip made his acount to make people think he was the original one

Fwiw if you you are going to accuse someone/an account of "cheating" you should use the right terminology. One player playing on multiple accounts is multiaccounting, two different players playing on the same account is account sharing.

He didn't win races when he took really long breaks. I watch those leaderboards regularly, trust me.

We need you to name specific differences in styles at specific hours, so that we can check them with our databases.

I can tell for sure that pokervvvip is not changing styles, i've played him a ton over the last 6 month and there is not much variation. Him losing/winning does have an impact but that's not unusual.

Making a poker alias impersonating a nick of another (albeit not famous) reg and then playing in a totally different style is not uncommon.

He didn't win races when he took really long breaks. I watch those leaderboards regularly, trust me.

So, now u guys are saying im mistaking name, a NAME. (no i watch the difference between 100k hand versus couple of k hands.)

1. Im the one who has played most hands versus him past year

2. Yes, also can spot the hours, style change.

3. Races, well yes he does have win _mostly_ all of them.

p.s. u guys, do u f think, i'll post something without proof. Like i have said, already have informed ipoker--

p.p.s jesus
