are there any winning regs who 3bet the first hand? 70%+ of bad regs do it at low stakes and its super exploitable.

I'm european and play on ft exclusively. It was just the first site i signed up for before i knew 2+2 all, never really thought about what kind of competition there would be. Now I've built a 4k roll there and just moved to 100nl and I don't want the hassle of moving a portion of my roll or depositing again and going back to 25 or 50nl.

Is it really worth it for lower limits as well? Should I just move my whole roll to Party sooner than later or should I wait until games are getting scarcer at 400nl+?

if u intend on moving up, you are currently better off on euro sites, but who knows if the US changes legal status. not like it would be hard to move back. it wont be like selling a stock and then missing the chance to buy it again because it already shot up. if the laws change, the games will get at least a temporary boost, most likely to be seen by party/harrahs but also full tilt and stars as they do ad pretty heavy in US

Ok I just talked to Kyle about this. I was wrong in what I said.

If you buy 1% of us and we win 20k, you get 1% of 20k or 200. YOU will be responsible for the taxes on your cut, and we will not deduct any from taxes. Sorry for the confusion.

So if we somehow ship the 10 million first place and you have 1%, you'll get back 100k and we'll just deduct the 100k from our winnings.

standard s.m.j.c. situation (**** missed just call).

Also you have trips.

p.s. I don't wanna be a big ass and just put in the 4th post saying the same thing, so to be constructive, if the dude WAS thinking on the level of tricking you when he had the nuts, he'd probably also be on the level of your line not really reeking of strength oh **** what do I know maybe hje would still shove I just don't want to make it seem like you're an idiot for thinking about this call, it's always worth thinking about it anyway, I'm so tired I just wanna sleep.

Why do you think so? Are the games that much softer on euro sites for 400NL+ compared to FTP/stars?

I have played a little bit at betfair and I can't say I found that much difference at the 50nl level at least.

I don't think there's much difference. I mean idiots are idiots. They're going to be the same and donk off their money the same whatever site they're on.

yes but there are certain stylistic differences that people from diff countries/regions exhibit.
