Your stats were like 65/55/3.0/45 against me over way too many hands at first, and it reminded me that I need to filter for 5-6 handed in my HUD because I played you really stupid for a couple hundred hands. The guy in your avatar looks like he wants to sodomize a tractor while defecating if that's the image you are going for. But I haven't caught you doing anything especially unskillful so you are prolly good. Posting lots on 2p2 is awesome for improvement.

BigTime,
I played with you today with FrogGTO. He's my absolute favorite fish, because he's such a table coach. 45/4 and always giving out poker lessons. Pretty sure he gave you some advice.

i believe they are already in effect for the games that the new system helps, and starts next year for the games it hurts.

guess they only wanted to draw the line for different games and not stakes. Which sucks for those who play 10/20+ SH LHE.

I'm just going from a fuzzy memory, but 1/2 is taking a huge hit, like 20% or more. 2/4 is taking like a 10% hit, 3/6 I don't remember, 5/10 will get like a 5% gain.

yea, and I always just assumed that the trend would continue, and that 10/20 would gain more than 5%.
But has anyone done the math for limits 10/20 - 30/60?

Uh, could one of the best and brightest on here please give the rest of us an elaborate lecture on how this NEW VPP system works and or when it will be implemented? Also what does this mean for LHE 6max grinders? Or please direct us to a thread link in which such topics are covered.

It will probably be implemented starting next year.

I played a few 10/20 6m hands against someone named Jennicide on Stars last night. I seem to recall that name as a tourney pro, and some kind of 2p2 drama bomb a few years back. I wiki'ed her name and it said that she built her roll playing $100/$200 limit online.

Yet I saw her open-limping or cold-calling just about every hand she played.

This is not computing.
