dbeckham is a machine. I've never really played with him cause I dont play that low but just the fact that he makes soooo many VPPs so fast is very impressive. I can't imagine he makes much past the rake on the tables though.

you miss the opportunity to learn more about the game and the rake is just too high to make reasonable profit. Build slowly your roll and move to 10/20+ you'll be a better poker player and a richer man.

of course if you can 10 table 10/20...

I have him as 32/26/2 and breakeven after 300 hands. Solid enough, given the overall standard I'd ratehr not have him on my table

He is on supernova elite run probably, have no idea why he would not move to 5/10, but if you count all bonuses and you have time 10 tabling is EV+. And on run 5/10 has higher rake so its much faster.

He was Supernova Elite last year, already. When I first started playing 3/6 I actively tried to avoid dbeckam, and I still have more hands on him than anyone else. Over time, though, I realized that I should have an edge on him since I'm playing 2-4 tables and he's playing 10-14. I'm actually up more against him than any other player at 3/6. Despite that, I think he's very solid.

I suppose he's happy making 100k+/year playing 3/6. I'm actually very curious what his winrate is. I tried 12 tabling at 1/2 and didn't win more than 1BB/100. It's just so hard to practice any semblance of table selection.

I have roughly 5000 hands on him in my db and he's down 3.7BB/100 over that sample with stats of 24/20/2.3. Wtsd/w$asd 40/50

I don't think it's fair to discuss his weaknesses but all those tables he's playing are definetly costing him some money.

Never played against him myself, but I saw Danzasmack own him several times over in his series on DC. :P

Same w/ FT. Playing ping pong w/ 35/25's is really making me tired of this game (especially when they never hit cooler 2nd best hands).
Anyone else wanna hang themselves for missing out on the Party 10 glory days?

FWIW there's often one 10/20 game better than any of the 5/10 games.

Stars 10/20 is in absolutely terrible shape. It's all LAGTAGs and the games are pretty much unbeatable

I suggest everyone switches to NL

You guys are exaggerating the toughness of the 10/20 imo. Or maybe since I never really made it past 3/6 during the "glory" days of PP, I have nothing to compare it to...

I never played on Party, and I played the Stars 5/10 and 10/20 in 2005. I was terrible at poker. January of that year I would limp A3o in second position. I made almost $100/hr that year and cleared over 81k at the tender age of 18. I truely believe that if I was 2 years older I could have made over a million by now without playing higher than 15/30.

LOL nice level. Unfortunately I love playing weak-tight poker and then tilting when things don't go my way far too much to leave now! I agree that 10/20 games aren't great, but they aren't impossible either. There are some regs who seem to play 10/20 all day, avoid playing with too many of them and you'll probably do OK if you managed to beat lower limits.

Not exactly a stars reg, but I just noticed Hasuwisp playing 30/60...was a spewgun reg on Party back when I played before UIGEA.

When he ran well it culminated with some devastating sessions.

That Hasuwisp is an impostor. The Hasuwisp from Party currently plays high stakes on Stars as St1ckman
