What's the average Party Points/hand at 4NL anyone? I'm sure I've just put in the longest session of my life but for some reason HHs aren't being saved.

Depends on your VPIP. At 2NL it's about 0.0019 points per hand playing 14%. At 4NL it should mean you get 1 point for every 260 hands or so.

HHs have been a bit screwy on Party since the Fast Forward update. You have to restart the client or HEM to get it rolling again.

NEVER AGAIN PLEASE!

Still have 27BIs for NL6 but probably going to move down to NL4-6 max. NL6 6-max swings will destroy my soul.

Will review session and post any hands worth discussing.

That's some brutal runbad in called all ins for the past 2000 hands. I've had whole months like that, and it can drive a man insane.

Put in my first staked session. Still 4NL but I hope to be able to move up quicker. Up $2 - only 250 hands and 3 tables though because I'm still getting used to the BCP software.

Anyone else going broke here?????? Its hands like this where i just can't find the hero fold button.

V was runing around 13/11 over 600 + hands with a total AF of 3.

I know i probably butchered this and should of 3/4 the bets not half potted them. When he shoved the river my thinking was, what does he do it with? and came to the conclusion that if he had AA, AK he would of 3bet pre, that leaves A6 and AJ that beat me. The str8 got there on the r and he would of filled up if he had JJ, all of which we beat

Yeah, just a bad beat. Is it... the Zeebu theorem that nobody ever folds a boat (except Pokie)? Some name like that anyway.

Villain usually has A6 or AJ in that particular spot, but I don't know anyone that can fold kings full of aces at these stakes.
I prefer bigger bets by hero on the flop and turn by the way. If you flop a set on an ace high flop and don't get your stack in the middle by the river, you're not doing it right, whether you win or lose. You know villain has to have an ace or a set of 6s on the flop, and you know you're never folding, so build the pot so that it's you that's value-shoving the river and getting looked up by trip aces (most of the time), and not having to make that gut-wrenching crying call of the raise on the few times villain hits a 3-outer.

Ugh... on such a bad run at the moment. Well, I'm winning, but I'm running massively over AIEV. The thing is, I think that if I wasn't constantly running into the top end of ranges at the moment I'd be winning about the same running at AIEV.

    Just reached 10k hands for the month! About time!!



    Feels good man

    Switched focus to 6Max around 7k hands. Bit boring going back to FR after adjusting to 6Max imo.

    Haven't played much online this month as i've been on holiday in Hong Kong and just finished a 2 day stop off at macau - was good fun but so so sick

    Lowest limit was HKD 10/25 so bought in short as i wasn't rolled for the games though i did receive $6000 for free from the government

    First day busted with 10s against AsQs
    not sure how it played out but i think it was something like 9x 7s 4s 4x, guy puts me in for 1000, i call, he hits a Q on the river

    Second day, I felt a bit sick when i lost this hand
    QQ on the BB
    around 5 limpers - there are lots of limpers in macau, its ridiculous
    i raise it to $300
    MP calls
    Flop is 10 7 2 rainbow and i bet $600 he calls
    Turn is 3
    I shove
    He flips of 2 3
