Quick question for you guys.

Is there a large difference between 2-4 and 3-6?

not in my experience

IMO there is a big difference on Stars if only because of the blind structure. You can't play the SB like you did at 2/4. At FTP you don't have this problem since they always have a 1/2 blind structure.

I find it is alot more aggressive than 2/4, on quiet days alot of 5/T regs move down to play 3/6 too.

As usual table selection is key. It's the first limit where you really start seeing tables full of regs.

Not a level. My plan was to go 10 days without looking, which would be like 40 to 50k hands, but I might wait until I've played 100k hands. That's still not going to be a reliable sample, but it's approaching relevant. I'm doing some things differently than I used to, so I want to try them out for a few weeks before forming any results based opinions.

I don't agree 100%.
I'm with this. You can certainly find some 3/6 tables softer than some 2/4 tables. However, you'll see 5/T and 10/20 regs (say Sethy) in 3/6 games who you'd never see at 2/4. Also, your chances of getting 3 bet seem to go up dramatically. You'll find villains who are 3 betting with a good range and who can play in position vs. you. As a 2/4 player, you'll find this happening more and more as you go to 3/6 and 5/T.

Once you are used to some of the more aggressive 3/6 players, the limits will seem nearly identical other than the blinds. If you have trouble handing more aggressive players, you may have an adjustment.

Give it a shot. It certainly isn't a huge jump in skill overall.

wow fml, i forgot i was registered for the sunday mil via fpp satty and wasnt home. gg $215

email stars....if it is clear you were simply sitting out and not there they may refund your buyin...

His money went into the prize pool. Why would stars eat the $215 for his mistake?

yeah i guess its worth a shot to email them, ive heard of them refunding buyins in similiar situations, just makes me feel like more of an idiot though.

Question... Is having a bad results on PTR good for me at all? Is it more likely that i'm going to be bum-hunted by solid players?

I wish mine said -30K like all the elites

I've satted into one, didn't realize that i was automatically registered (and didn't just get a ticket). Blinded out, and they didn't return my buyin. I've never heard of any other outcome, wouldn't really expect it either.

I don't see the benefit. It's better to be respected by good players and bad players don't use PTR to look for fish.

Happy New Year! Does anyone know how many vpps per hand average we get with the new calcualations for 6 handed 3/6 limit holdem? It used to be about .8 vpps per hand.

yeah I never really understood why it's good if ptr shows a good player losing.. good ptr-> keeps most regs away when table starting. bad ptr-> ? I just don't see the benefits.
Even if regs think you are a fish when sit down with you, what incorrect adjustments can they make based on the fact that you are a losing player? Vbet you thinner? That may not be a mistake if you are an sd monkey. Call down lighter? That is hardly a huge mistake either vs an aggro player. Iso lighter? Getting 3bet all the time isn't so much fun even if they go overboard a little. Bottom line is, if they think you are a spot and focus on you, trying to make your life hell, is unlikely to be very +EV for you imo because by the time you figure out what (marginally) incorrect (?) adjustments they are making based on the fact that you have a bad record on ptr, and you start exploiting those things, they might also figure out you are not a huge fish and leave.

hm, WadsUp?

I think it's unlikely that you'd be bumhunted. Your ptr page isn't that bad fwiw; have you seen some of the trainwrecks out there ?

Hey daiquiri is it out of line to ask you what your stars sn is?

I'm just really curious cuz i know you're a reg in the games+forum (obvs.) but i have no idea who you are on stars heh.

corfiot

And my mind is blown because i've never played a single hand with you.

thanks for that.

Wadsulator, no one knows for sure. But according to a few reports, just going off hearsay, the rate improved.

that's weird I would have sworn I have played with you
I'll check it in my db later

Don't be nice, my ptr is really bad. I need to get a couple thousand profit on there so that regs avoid me. For example, you had no problem sitting next to me the other day. You're the main reason why i left my table. If you had respected me and didn't view me as a "27/20 tagfish" (we're cool btw), you might've been less inclined to sit there and i wouldn't be owned by a 32/25 lagtag.

Hey Wads how bout you play some hands like every one else and find out yourself :P
