sick, where do u get most of ur highstakes action btw,
cause i see games on stars dont run that much above 10/20

hand #800 in that graph ? ^^

You said you play multiple networks. Do you merge graphs from different sites? If so, how do you do it?

Create an alias within your database.

Should have carried on playing until you hit $100k very nice

tyty, sir!!

10/20+ doesn't run often anywhere so I guess most comes from stars.

Sorry can't post.. Too easy to find out my sn.

Had already played 10h+ straight so was kinda tired..

Nice day! What is your opinion in this question:
A player, who's playing at NL20-30 should focus on playing the softest tables what he just can find so he can win the most, and reach higher stakes faster, or he should play with tougher opponents to improve his play, and that way he will not have much more difficulty with the higher stakes. Do you focusing to play on the softest tables (position on the bad players, tableselecting a lot), or just sit down and beat everyone's a**es?

Like I've said before I always try to have good tables going on because it would be plain stupid not to. But I have hard time believing that there would be much reg tables running at microstakes so I think that tableselecting isn't that important because the games are good anyway.

I bought poker-edge recently and if i were to open 12 tables randomly on nl50 on lets say ongame. I can assure you that at least 9 of those tables would be 6 regs

Hey crusher, just one question.

Poker is all about hand-reading and ranges. But what do you do (used to do) when you can't really put the villain on a range because he's either taking a weird line or you're not familiar with the spot you're in? Do you just try your best to figure out possible ranges and try to find the best line vs. that range?

theres no way thats true during the euro evening, and even if it was 75% of those regs will be terrible.

FYP

terrible or not, they are still 23/18's with 45+ WWSF which means you will need to be playing 4-6 tables only to be exploiting them and it still won't be for that much money.

As we have seen with Grindcore's 50nl debut, most of his wins were from rakeback while he's suposed to be an highstakes beast

I think there is just less and less gap between player's skills at NL30-50-100-200. I say this, because I saw a lot of players, who started to beat the crap out of a limit, he just continued it fast on the next and above limits too. Before that they struggled at NL20-30 too. So, I think if you beat NL30-50 comfortably, easily with 4-5 PTBB/100, you'll have no problems until NL200. Sad thing, that I can't yet. And during daytime at Ongame I see a lot of 19/16-21/18 players.

Sorry, I can't edit the previous post.

But also, what do you if you put the villain on a certain range but you have no clue if it's correct? For example, situation from today - nitty opponent, I steal his big blind from small blind, he defends (he barely does that). Board comes A9Xs and I choose to give up with my air. He checks back and the turn a Ten offsuit. Now after his checkback, I decided to bet big turn/river to get him off his weak SD value but he raises my turn bet.
I'm not repping anything, he's not repping anything. That's the situation I have hard time putting someone on a range.

Thanks in advance.

I was always curious, what makes a TAG reg terrible. Can you say examples in this topic to me? How much edge can you have (in PTBB/100) on an average bad breakeven - 1PTBB/100 reg?

giev money is 12+ tabling 1000NL and crushing, and i guarantee you 95% of those tables have 6 players with reasonable pf stats and wwsfs >45, so i dont think your statement is true. Also, at 50nl the rake in bb/100 is enormous, so even someone with a high wr would make a significant amount of their profit from rb.

by that logic, there is a small skill disparity and the average skill level is low, since anyone good moves up really quick, so almost everyone is bad. fwiw i agree with that logic :P

edit:

not all tags are created equal. theres a lot of ways to play 24-20, and those stats say nothing about how you play postflop, which is infinitely more complicated and more important than preflop numbers. its easy to memorize a hand chart for opening ranges (although somehow almost everyone memorizes a dumb one that gets you to the right stats in the wrong way), way harder to play rivers well.

@Giev, talking about skills in micros, if u were to play in micros (nl 25/50) with the skills u have now, what do u think u winrate would be, 30/40 bb?

It would be amazing, if he would play like 20k hands at NL30-50, just for fun and tell us his experience.

Guy talks about playing good tables, for example at high stakes at stars It's awesome that he looks upon some of these tables as good

doubtful because that's insanely high, but 20+ probably

+1

i'm playing nl50 at ongame. very few true fish, a lot of regs. with no doubt, they're not superb players but they won't spew their money that easily. if there's no rakeback at all my hourly would be most likely better at nl20/nl30 among softer competition. i'm table selecting like mad, color coding pretty much every single player with 10+ hands in my database and it's close to impossible to find two 50/5/1 (or any fishy stats) players sitting at the same table.

I imagine you play on a skin that offers rb.

When i played there until July the games were amazing on betsafe.

yes, rb skin. is there really that big difference in number of tables between ongame and ongame2? maybe it's time to download bwin and login with my old account but is it profitable to play with higher wr and almost no rb than lower wr + rb? hard to figure it out with damn essence °-°
