Re: PokerStars more difficult than European Skins?

Decided to test out Zoom last week. Been playing nl100 at euro sites for some time and started out from nl50 zoom. The regs seem a lot worse than on eurosites (thought the opposite too). Might be the limit though, since I consider myself a strong nl100 player. Have so far won 19evbb/100 over 10k hands. Healthy amount of rungood with setups and board runouts obv. Lot less fish though and they seem to be nittier too. Well see how nl100 goes .

// Btw hello to all, long time lurker here. I'll probably start to post and comment hands here in ssnl to edumacate myself on my journey to pokker glories!

Re: PokerStars more difficult than European Skins?

kinda agree with what OP saying

not much rakeback and everyone so tight that most of your w/r seems to come from blind stealing/people folding too often

if they get it in etc they usually have a very solid holdling

i think the way to win @ stars would be to play like 40vpip and make it 2.5 from alot of positions

Yes. The regs on European sites just refuse to fold.

Re: PokerStars more difficult than European Skins?

I played on stars solely pre black friday and had a winrate of $27 an hour 8-10 tabling 50NL. Smaller sites and different sites are so much softer then stars. 200NL is the minimum stakes I play now.

Are you the guy who limp/re raises BvB? If so how is that working out for you?

Will mix it up in a while. Adds a lil to the winrate. It is a "wtf" move lol.

Re: PokerStars more difficult than European Skins?

stars was always the tightest/least aggro site so you obv have adjust your style/gameplan to the games.
most of the regs(in SSNL games) cant handread at all and seem to completely ignore relative hand strenght so you still can print money if you are a good player(and dont tilt!), tight games or not.
