Anyone know what Paradise/Henderson area is like in Vegas? That's where we're looking to get a house for the summer...I know there's a Vegas sub forum but thought I'd ask here first

PA doesn't play nitty haha.

Hellmuth is not very good at poker.

Eli's gotten better but still plays pretty fishy.

Lederer is the biggest weak-tight nit whose never shown that he's GOOD.

Online players are way better than live players.

imooooo

1. Galfond's first time playing in front of camera's, with name pro's, for that much money etc. Obv was nervous and didn't play well, but are you seriously suggesting he isn't +EV in those kind of lineups? Also he was playing nittier because it was a big % of his roll and he was saving money for the next day when the stakes went up, but never got a chance to play.

2. Some guy plays highest stakes online for 10k hands and runs good.

If this was a level, u got me.

Anyone who really thinks these players cant beat 200nl, where the majority of regs play like ******s, really needs to go see a doctor. Yes a lot of 200nl players are decent with the dynamics now. But so often a regs range is so transparent the the bluffs are easy to snap off and they may as well flip their cards face up.

I still play it pretty much exclusively, mostly because I'm too lazy to table select and I've given up on being good for now.

I actually think dynamics are one of the worst aspects of your average 200nl player's game. Especially preflop, people just go bat**** insane in spots like BTN v CO, or blinds vs BTN/CO regardless of how your villain has been playing. I imagine it's a result of paying way more attention to stats, particularly datamined, than paying attention to how your opponent's are playing against you.

The transparent bluffs I completely agree with, but they can also be tricky because of how transparent they are. Wow, every single draw busted, no hand improved, and I'm repping the most obvious showdown/bluff catcher, and now you're potting this river repping nothing but a bluff? You really can't be this bad can you??? *hit timebank* Bah.. I feel like such a station.. Ugh, fine.. call. Wow, you really are that bad.

He plays tight but not straightforward lol. I've seen him limp/rr AA, limp/call AA, open big with AA, limp/rr trash, etc, all of which were pretty appropriate at the time given the lineup. Basically, he makes an effort to not play hands the same way every time, which is far from "abc". And honestly, in a lot of the lineups he's played in with guys like Elezra and Farha and Negreanu all at his table, playing tight is the correct adjustment (and has the advantage of being the easiest adjustment, too).

As for Galfond, lol at him looking stupid. This is only true from a layman's perspective. And durrr and aba hardly looked stupid -- they looked like if you gave them enough time they'd break everyone at the table.

K so its my first day back on FTP in a while because stars has aids (aids=shortstackers) and the software just completely screwed up on me. I use TOI and on half the tables I was dealt cards but I could only see the back of them like I you could normally see your opponents cards. I was also getting dealt the SB while on the button and all weird ****.

Has anyone else had this problem?

I only see 1300 hands on the Elezra account on ptr?
03-26-2010 , 06:57 PM
Blix, that is a very weird line, but I think limp/raise, pot, overshove is more likely to be AA than any other value hand or random spazz from a 28/22. Bluffs like that (especially the overpot shove) are pretty rare at 100nl

How does your winrate/hourly compare? Rush seems like you are just giving up 90% of your edge on people.

I didn't say they can't beat NL200; NL200 is easy as hell. I still think they suck at NL though. (not PA, he's top 3 obv)
03-26-2010 , 07:42 PM
i cant win a pot vs shipheart, doesnt matter how, he always has the best hand in the end. and what tilts me the most about about it is that he plays most hands soooo insanely bad
