Hai, think i dont count as a reg because im pretty new to the site (not to the game, played over 2,5k at PS).

So, afaik FilmWise has a few leaks, played him once.

What do u think of sbabbaro? He joined me in a 55$,than the following hand was played (Dont know how to convert)

Guess 3rd is standard. 4th could be raised, but isnt that much +EV against a reg who surely slitely know how to play. I think, 5th is very tough. It is clear he would bet any holecards there, the call on 3rd shows he doesnt have totally crap. The only thing that worries me, is his bet on 4th, i didnt think a pair+9 is in his range. If he has paired im 35-40% underdog. With the big implieds i gave me there i called. Vs his range 6th is -EV, against any holecards from 78-A2 im 45% underdog. Though he would call any 10high draw, i was sure. 7th, standard would be fold. BUT i wouldnt have much left, he wouldnt bet a 10 and he thinks i wouldnt call a J. These things led me to call, I thought a while, because its clear he will win a few times, but his line confused me.


C ya!

so...not to namedrop but i played protek b twice today and he/she's probably the worst "regular" int he HUsngs i've played so far. (obv 0/2 against him)

i once beat him 3/3 at the 20s...horseracing1 is even worse, he plays only 11$

I think it should be common knowledge that the average skill level of the regs is 'above average' and no better. A lot of the regs at $100+ are breakeven at those levels.

Are you still playing on stars aufge or is it a permanent move?

Im not planning to go back to PS. Im still at the 30s, when my BR is big enough to play 50s on both sites ill play on both. As already mentioned structure is so lame at PS, like merc said, at FTP u dont give away ur edge, have more fun and ur hourly rises, additionaly u can get rakeback.

@Mischal: I played him like 30 times. I found a lot leaks, we talked much. Still its more +EV to sit in an empty SNG, especially with that f****** structure. Emailed PS twise concerning that...

Yeah I have e-mailed stars asking them to basically make HU Razz IDENTICAL to FTPs. They said they would forward to software or something. It was probably just vaulted/deleted.

Personally I think PS would have more action than FTP if they could be bothered matching buyins and structure. And of course it would dilute the regs which would be great.

HU Razz SNG profitable without RB? I don't know about that!

I played JPS555 last night. I assume this is merely a list of Russians, not of good russians or anything.

How many of you regulars prefer the turbo SnGs over non-turbos? I would think that the faster structure would lessen the importance of skill. Is this made up by the number of SnGs per hour? Or is some other calculus involved in this decision?

Only a few of those Russians are good imo but still most would be winners.

Turbos are better by far (higher hourly rate, more games). Simply it is (ROI)*(Buy-in)*(games per hour).

When you routinely get down to 5BB in play like in the turbos, some think it's just a coin flip but in reality certain rarely used skills become very important.

Is it the rarely used skills like the rough 9 jam?

If villain is showing (xx)2 and completing 100% of the time vs. your (48)9, then yes.

YIPIE...banged AAcrasher LWW, he plays way to overthinked, guess its nothing special i beated him.

So there I am happily 5 tabling with 3 SNG's with a HU 2/4 and 3/6 going. I am still registered for turbos and non-turbos but will unregister when I get another table or two because I don't want more then 6 and can quit the cash games.

Enter JKWizz who decides to reg for all 6 of them. In my eyes he registered mainly because I had a few games up already, like I did last time he simultaneously reg'd 4 tables. When we finished our first 3 games he accepted for rematch when I still had 6 running and declined the last 3.

Brag: won 5-1 to make it 5-5.
Beat: Unless I'm careful I'll be 9 tabling again very soon.

JK (5:59:58 AM): this brutaldelux guy seems to have great stats
JK (6:00:04 AM): on razz HU sng
HG (6:00:41 AM): brutal has done well yes
JK (6:01:38 AM): aightz...
JK (6:01:41 AM): imma try 6 tabling with him
JK (6:01:42 AM): ttyl
HG (6:01:47 AM): hahahah
HG (6:01:50 AM): hes gonna be so pissed
JK (6:33:50 AM): yikes...
JK (6:33:53 AM): lost 4 out of 6

Well I don't care much for the non-game selection ('great stats' --> '6 tabling with him' /= logical) but I have half learned to deal with it. I checked and rechecked and I definitely know how to count to 5. Any notes from when we 4 tabled were completely useless. He really LAGged up. Thanks for sharing. Served my ego well.

thought it was funny =) gg!

Has the new lobby with all the filters lowered action?

oh man i didnt even think about that...there go the days of the misregister. =(

some ppl still use classic lobby and i still get misregisters

I can only assume that what happened here. This is the first hand of a sng i played a few minutes ago.

haha, clearly i was in the process of losing the last sng.

i think you're overthinking things. i've never done 6 at once before and thought it would be fun as i was looking for a way to procrastinate (like i'm doing now). after i lost 3 i took it as a sign from god that i should get back to work.

i did register for sharkscope a few days ago. but didn't expect anyone sitting at so many tables to be playing at all. next time i'll make sure to do a player search and use it as extra motivation to play if they're sitting at a lot of tables.
