***Official Stars Regs Thread*** - Page 563 - Small Stakes Shorthanded Poker

I'm a micro limit donk that lurks here sometimes. I have a question about PTR. How do they get the hands from PS? I always wondered about that. Also, do they miss a lot of hands? I was looking at my PTR page and they missed almost half the hands I played in the time span that was indicated on PTR? Of course, I'm more of a recreational player and don't play that many hands in a year.

Doc

They haven't always tracked Micro's. I think they started a few months ago.

No, it would just make the waiting lists impossibly long. Best game selection would be getting on every list at the limit(s) you want to play, and then when you take your seat, you could see who was at the table, and then either post or leave...

Still it isn't accurate for the date range they state on my page. I guess I need to look at the hands they have on me and compare it to my hands in PT3. That might indicate whether they really go as far back as the date range suggests.

It's really no big deal to me, I was just curious.

Doc

P.S. PS 1/2 6 max hates me!

or maybe it is that I don't play 6max very well. I plan on concentrating on working on my 6max game this year. That might get put on hold a month or two by microHULA. Gotz to work on my HUHU game first.

Normally I'm all about fastplaying, but here it's much more likely that villain has TT+ than AA or AQ.

And since it's 1/2 I'd expect to be called down by any pair, so I don't think slowplaying is so bad here.

Over/under on how many more times this question will be asked in the next 5 days?

You set the line, I'll pick a side and put $30 on it. Any takers?

Is there a new video out on one of the coaching sites advocating lighter 3! bets preflop?

In the past week or so I've been seeing UTG and HJ open raises getting 3! bet by medium suited aces and such. Wassup with that? I can understand 3 betting 98s from time to time, but A7s? Is 3 betting the new open-raise?
