Player A and player B have have the same 3bet stat of 1%. So to find both players 3bet range do i plug in 1% into pokerstove or do i need to plug in 2% to find player Bs 3bet range because player B is only raising half of all hands.
the 3bet percentage is based on the number of chances they have had to 3bet, so player b might have 3 bet once in a hundred hands, player a might have 3bet twice in 200 hands. ya see? same result (Suited Aces)

Meh, are you sure? I see this topic in MTT Community of CompleteDonk who claims he could keep the same screenname.

Further to that: I cashed out 50$ before and it worked. But they will check if you cash out larger amounts?

or is it better to make a new account on pokerstars?

No, I would've shown them. It's not extremely bad etiquette - you should show your cards at showdown, and it's certainly much worse to tell someone to piss off. Damages the table mood too.

Do not make a new account. It is possible to take a photo of some ID (driving license), and edit it. You can change the year by 1 easily by using MS paint to copy and paste a number over the previous one, provided the number existed elsewhere on your ID (UK driving licenses are good for this). Voila, an edited photo.

Mods, if this is deemed illegal or unethical, feel free to edit this post.

How do you convert hands from an iPoker skin? 2p2 hand converter doesnt do, nor does anyones which are available online. Not using a HUD.

Bit of an odd question - if i wanted to make a video of my HEM replayer, replaying my vpip hands would i be able to upload it to utube then link it here for constructive criticism? Comments on lines, leaks etc.

If so, where would I put the thread? I'm a noob so thanks in advance for your help.

IAmNotThatGuy- I offer no advice but...this is not a Beginner's topic. I believe with a bit of hunting you will find the answers in the Internet Poker>Internet Poker area.

TheDefiniteArticle- Advising that poster commit a crime? Really!??

dillchips- so you have a raw hand histories? Try Google..... it's best answer I've got. Last time I looked there were several free converters out there.

Steve Kutcher- while your question was specific (where should I start), the details provided about who you are and what you like and ....and.....and...make this an difficult question to answer. My suggestion without any facts is.....play the lowest level available for the game you know/like the most. Afterall, this is just the restart of the amazing journey.....

Minifishspecial- what type of poker are you playing? I would recommend posting the link in the poker area of the game type and level. Things like cash/tourney, limit/NL, HE/omaha, 2NL/1000NL.........you get the idea

Hey, I'm a nub playing 2nl. Just wondering about moving up to 5nl. Besides from having the bankroll for the move up (which I have), I should also make sure I beat my current level first right?

So is 100k hands and showing profit concidered a beat? Thought i'd have that as my goal, what do you guys think? Right now, I'm at 40k hands played and up 17 BI.

Is it normal, in the market place, to, for example, sell a package of 200 games 2.5$180 mans and split the profit 50/50?

That is a more likely way to get both the OP and his friend life banned by stars.

Just found out today that france etc have their own sites, why is that? Seems pretty logical to merge all of the players together for stars etc surely?

How come everyone is able to publish their graphs? Does everyone here have PokerTracker/Hold 'em Manager or is there another way? If so, is there a free way?

First question - print screen in PT/HEM, copy to paint and upload to an image host. Copy the image url into the forum image tags. Second, yes, nearly everyone. Third, google FPDB although I'm not sure that does graphs (but it probably does).

Why can't you just use the filters in the videos section? Just pick a couple episode 1s and watch the first 5 mins. The do an overview to see the the series is right for you. I don't play FR though, could only tells you good 6m vids.

What does cEV meen and what does it mean to be - or +?

cEV is chip expected value. Which is different than dollar expected value.

It relates mostly to Sitn Go's which I used to play a lot of but haven't for years now. 6 max cash is my game right now.

I remember reading Colin Moshman Sitn Go Strategy he explained it really well in that book.

So all I really remember is cEV (+ or-) is the expectation of how many chips you gain to win or lose.

While $EV is the expectation of how much loot you gain to win or lose.

When playing a stt you may have 1200 chips but there is a calculation to figure out what your chip stack is worth in actual $, depending on buy-in. Also the less chips you have the more they are worth..... ect. ect. Like I said haven't played stt for years I'm sure someone can hop on this intro to explain further. Or search for chip expected value and you'll get hits.

What will you do if you are treated like a nit? Live cash games!

Decided to use my nit image to bluff but the players are too aggressive. So back to nit mode?
