*******HU CASH Regs thread******* - Page 702 - Micro Stakes Pot Limit and No Limit

Just took a course on social influence in which a handful of books were read, one of them being Influence by Robert Cialdini.

Yes, offering a clearly inferior choice does make the other choices look more appealing than they would look without the inferior choice. Studies have been done- it happens even if you think "oh hey that choice is dumb, who would go with that one?"

And what choice is now more appealing in light of the inferior option? The one that's $30/mo, or the one that's $30/mo?

I agree with the principle, this is just not an application of it. There are three options: 1) $30/mo, 2) $40/mo, and 3) $30/mo for 12 times as long. The inferior options don't change anything; the first option is the only viable one and might as well be the only available one. Obv this is just going with what was in the SS, though I imagine there must be something more to it.

Well my dad tried to sign up for 0% interest at a furniture store and it didnt' go through until they talked to him on the phone.

He doesn't get all the junk CC apps in the mail anymore.

Guess they scan a bunch of DBs - not sure.

Carry on folks. Jungleman...

i haven't played online in almost 3 weeks. I'm going to the gym now. Can someone please play me 4-6 tables of 1/2hu when i get back? I'd prefer FTP but stars is fine too.

It will be in an hour or so. If you MIGHT be interested, please quote this post/PM me your sn or whatever and i'll find you.

Thx Bye.

A couple times you say "betting doesn't fold out worse". I assume you mean better and not worse or am I ******ed and not understanding something.?

i was thinking about that, but we're trying to clean up the front page so there are less non-strategy threads. I'll talk to ChiRy about it today.

are there any sites with lower stakes than .25/.50?

B2B poker skins used to have 25NL HU, but it seems to be gone now.

Also whats a good safe BR for .25/.50?

edit: nvm B2B does still have as low as .05/.10 EURO HU, wonder how the rake is though...

Entraction (B2B), iPoker and Ongame all have micro HU tables.

B2b has 0.75€ rakecap, iPoker and Ongame have $1. Afaik only eurosite with smaller rakecap is Pacific, where it's capped to $0.5 at NL100 and below.

But if you are playing micros, you should rather pick the site where you get the best rakeback deal, because majority of the pots don't get rakecapped at micros, eg. playing NL50 with $1 rakecap and 60% rakeback means you pay less rake than if you play with $0.5 rakecap and 27% rakeback.

got 'em.

I wish there was an easier way to find people who DO like to battle. I've gotta cash out, well, a LOT for the series, so i gotta rebuild the online roll! If anyone ever wants to 4-6 table 1/2 or 2/4, PM me or find me on FTP (Pasterbator) or Stars (Rigged4me).
