***** Official Dumb Questions Thread **** - Page 344 - Beginning Poker Questions

Anyone know why I can't see stats from different sites at the same time using PT3?
I recently started playing at PS but normally play at PP.
PT3 seems to default to PP, so if I clear filters it only shows stats for PP.
If I filter for month or day it only shows PP.
I have to specifically filter for games played at PS to see them, or for PP + PS if I want to see both.
Why won't it show both as default?

I've never seen such before. It's on Unibet and I know many here don't play on that site, but has anyone seen anything similar and could explain it to me?

Here are it's additional details: Name: Carnage Step 2
-"Top 3 win tickets to Carnage Step 3. 100 starting Chips. You will be automatically placed all-in until elimination or tournament completion."
-"NOTE: Players eliminated in the same hand will be given position a) by hand strength then b) by proximity to the dealer button. If on the button you are considered to be the furthest away from it."
-Max entrants 6. Buy-in 2.75€+0.25€. Prizes top-3 will get same ticket "Multi Event Ticket (5€+0.50€)

How can 100 starting chips work. I really don't get it. Wonder what the starting blinds that will never change are also, but it doesn't say.

It's a flippament. Basically you are all-in automatically every hand.

A very tight player who folds all the time and almost never bluffs. Nits aren't considered very cool around this forum, but they tend to win money at low stakes. Nothing wrong with being a nit!

(ok, I know that's not quite true, but at microstakes, it's not at all bad)

Oh, that explains it. So it doesn't involve me making any decisions like which hand I choose to all in with? It's all randomt? So only decision I'll be making is registering for this right?

I am not up-to-date on alot of the poker terminology and lingo. What is a hero/villian? And if I say 100nl does that mean $100 buy-in? Thanks for the help!

Hero is the person who is playing the hand being discussed, villain is the person against whom the hand is being played. If I play a hand with you, when I talk about it I am hero and you are villain, and if YOU talk about it, I'm villain and you're hero. 100nl means a 100bb BI is $100, yes.

Does anyone have a good site, forum post or something for statistics like for example what are the odds that AK vs AA happens in a 9-handed game and similar things? I'm sure that could be calculated quite quickly, but it was just an example. It would be quicker to check this kind of things via some internet page and perhaps get more ideas of situations that one didn't think before.

I'm sure there are pages like this, not sure what you want these stats for though ? How do you think that AK vs AA stat will help you - what difference would it make to your play ?

It was just an example. It would make me able to fold strong hands more easily if I had more knowledge and knowledge is what i'm after. So if anyone knows any sites or posts like that, please do tell.

How does a 2/5/10 No Limit Holdem game work? I understand 1/2 and so on (1 being small blind & 2 being the big blind), but how do you post in a 2/5/10 game?

What is the biggest difference in playing style of STTs vs. MTTs? Should one follow the same basic strategy of being tight early and aggressive late in MTTs just like one does in STTs? I am sure there are a bunch of other factors, but just looking for some general input?

Would you say one is at a significant disadvantage by playing at Bovada because one can't review their hand histories in SNG wizard or use a HUD on their opponent. Would one improve their game faster or better with a different site?

You're using the words 'tight' and 'aggressive' as if they mean opposite things. They don't. The opposite of 'tight' is 'loose'. The opposite of 'aggressive' is 'passive'. A player can be both tight and aggressive.

Anyway, that is the 'theoretically correct' way to play any tournament format - tight early, loosen up later. But at low stakes, you might find you do better by being tight early and tight late too.
