I feel so nooby in this. The 6bb guy is nitty/tag 60 hands 14/13. Your mix of a like 2 nits and 3 LP 25/10 guys and a couple aggros. It was 9 pay so people were really tight 2 tables left.. maybe skew the stats a bit.

My image is pretty aggro, I have been short for a while and these guys are pretty nitty. I'm running 22/20 and have been in a short stack folding war since 12ish players.

SB 25/16(67 hand) SB just defended his BB vs a MR with 97s and c/c c/c into his gutshot on the turn... and his 40k stacks t3000 ITM vs 70k stack guy

BB 11/6 (37) The BB called me on the bubble when i shoved 10bb t2500 from the CO he had A2o. He had 100k at the time fwiw and I showed QQ, but I am pretty sure I showed down K8 and similar versus them earlier.

Payouts ~$45 for 8th, $60ish 6th and things rapidly get larger with $350 uptop and $200 for 2nd IIRC. I used these %payouts in ICMizer if that makes your life easier.

Should we take it?

I´m worried one of them may even call you wider. I may fold and not too upset.

didn't read but im folding

soo one of my best buddies is moving to Spain for teh summer, does anyone know what the action is like on .Es?

Mike, I think you have no FE in this spot and I'd probably prefer to shove when MP1 is BB in a couple of hands. I think some players tend to be more likely to fold despite pot odds when the shove constitutes a higher % of their remaining chips.

Def has FE. Agree w folding tho. Id be decently wide here bt not atcish.

Thanks guys I did fold in game and it felt pretty close. Def shipping 76o

I heard a while ago that SNGs popped off pretty good from late afternoon until a bit into the night. Could have changed tho. Wasn't so good for MTTs. (&no idea about cash)

thx, what stakes are you talking about though?

Lol why go in Spain if you want to play online?

Just got my first ever captcha check on Stars, am I now a true grinder?

Maybe you don't go there b/c you want to grind, but because you have to go there and you still wish to grind online There are other things in life than poker (omg did I just say that?) :P

Blatant troll post

I live in Spain and grind SNG's on .ES.

It's a lot different to .com. Nowhere near the traffic, and the lobby is virtually unrecognizable. The Sunday major has a 100 euro BI lol.

I grind 6 max turbos, BI start at 1 euro and only go upto 50 euros. It's very difficult to get any volume on the 50s virtually impossible during the day. I grind as low as 5s and include 10/20/50s too to ensure I get through enough. 10/20s are pretty good for traffic.

There is more action on the hypers, which also have 100 BI level, again that level is slow, but plenty of 20 euro action.

Standard is awful. It's a major limpathon. I rate perhaps 8-10 regs, the rest are truly clueless.

Edit: Your friend will need to prove residency before he can play. This means he will have to first register at the local police station, then be included on the padron (electoral roll) then he will need to get an NIE card (Spanish ID card) then stars will verify you electronically.

He can get 30 days grace to do that if he has a utility bill with his name on. After the 30 days though if he's not registered (will take about a week) it's gg account.

Good to know About spain, buying a house in germany within the year and our other option was Spain. That makes Spain a no.

Tbh, if I didn't already have a house here, I'd probably look elsewhere too. Fortunately, the culture/beaches/cost of living is to my liking so I'll cope.

Finished in top10 sng leader board at stars, i now have ticket to battle of planets 50k mtt.
Wanted ask if someone have experience with field there and if max entrants (729) always is full at registration end.

Thanks.

No strat in the **** thread please.

So I know a guy who wants to become pro, he's very arrogant, ignorant to advice and overall disrespectful to studying. He asks for advice, I give it, he then proceeds to call me an idiot when I make plays vs him. I feel he is -1% or maybe .5% winner at best. He seems more like an addict than a potential good regular. How bad is it to egg him into moving up to higher stakes to play. He plays 7s, I play 15s and time to time a 30 if it's good. He claims the 7s play like the 50s?

Hmm, think it's more morals, should we as players have them or not?

Less chat box more clicky clickly

He has me on skype, I'm taking the day off, so no affecting me today.

Learn to play husng or stop caring. As the saying goes... million fish in the sea (of sngs).. Or study his game and own him or whatever. Studying isn't a futile activity. Chat box certainly is futile..

Dont think Ive ever seen it full. Equity is always $100+

Guy sounds like he doesnt want or think he needs your advice so I wouldlnt waste my breath on him talking strat. If he's a good irl friend and decent otherwise and doesnt have much money to spend Id maybe think twice about gettting him to move up if i thought hed be crushed, but otherwise tell him to play as high as he wants.
