What games do you normally play? What games do you enjoy playing? What games do you feel you play better in?

In the PS filter cash games what do i want to look for? many % on the flop or low %? VPIP high or low? etc... what kind of stats make the table more easy to beat?

Well I always wanted to make a steady bankroll and not hit a huge swings because when I first tried out PLO.. I played with bad brm and just went up and down, when I lost a certain amount I would be switching stakes higher to get it back..... so I think i'll just play DoN/SnG with the $1k.. I was reading somewhere in here that people use the 40buyin rule.. shouldn't I be following the 200buyin rule?

You mainly want loose passive players at your table, and you preferably want the loosest player sitting on your right.
You can customize the PS filter to put the highest "Table VPIP" at the top of the list. Tables with a high average VPIP usually have one or two fish that limp in almost every hand. When these players limp in, you can make an "isolation raise", which should mean the players yet to act fold, and you play the hand in position against the fish.
Ideally, you'll be given a seat where the two players to your immediate right are loose passives (who you isolate and value bet against with your good hands) and the two players to your direct left are nits (who fold often, so you can steal their blinds).
If you find you're given a seat where the fish are to your direct left, you might be better off getting another table, as loose players defend their blinds more often, and are hard to put on a hand, so you don't really want to be out of position when playing a pot against them.

Maniacs are better than loose-passive IMO...not that you get a table full of them unfortunately.

Could someone please paste me the link to the guide to crushing the micros from the msfr forum?
I cannot find it or search, since I am using my phone to read.
Thanks.

Muchos gracias, ASB!!

That thread is gold, use it well.

Make sure you get a good deal. I think that merge doesn't offer rakeback to new players any more, but email black chip and ask for details, check out the sub forums in the 'internet poker' forum.

DoN's = less variance. Less variance means you can be a bit looser with your BRM

Is it possible in any way to hotkey player note colors? For example something like this: I mouseover on a person on Pokerstars and at the same time press F2 on my keyboard and his note color is set to blue? I'm guessing there are no default hotkeys for this, but if any of you use Table Ninja or anything similar, please do tell me if this is possible to do with those programs or in any way. Thanks.

Here's a dumb question.

What are my odds of making a flush if I need a card on the turn and on the river?

I know it's just over 4 to 1 on each street so does that make it about 9 to 1 if you need two cards?

(10/48)(9/47) = 4% to hit your runner-runner

I can see what you're doing here but why isn't it (10/47)(9/46) which granted is still about 4% i.e. 25 to 1?

47 on the turn from 52 less my two card less the three cards on the flop.

When can u say that u beat a level? I make a small profit on a 0,25$ level. People who play with losts tell me first to beat this level. I think that u stop learning when playing to long the same level and sometimes taking a shot a level higher will help my game. I play for fun, and it did not cost me so far, but that's including bonusses.

When i open a new table ate PS my HEM2 stats go back to 0 and the count starts again.. but only with my nickname, i think.. what should i do?

2close...that's they way it is. you can't have your total stats always reposting...because you are the likely largest hand history set in your database and to recalculate through every hand would slow just about any computer down to slug speed.

You should know what your total stats are.....so starting at zero should be really helpful against the new players at your table....you see what they see. You already know what the regs see.

okay, that actually maks sense, thanks king

47 and 46 correct.

25 to 1 is not. (24 to 1)

in 5nl whats a good size example and how many bb/100 is necessary to say that you beat the level?

used to be +7ptbb/100ish over 100,000 hands was the yardstick.

have no idea how the youngsters are measuring their epeens this year.

what is 7ptbb/100? was the difference between that and bb/100?

I've heard people say that the 235fpp 6 max hypers to Sunday Storm are a great way of using your FPP up - stupid thing is though, I can't find them! Do they only run at certain times or what?
