You think it should be more or less?

From what I've seen over the years the people that are best at beating up fish have equal red and blue lines. Some people make the mistake of trying to "cooler" fish when there is so much money to be made by bluffing them.

rbracco, idk how is natal. its far away from my city... brazil is ****** big! natal is well-know for having beautiful beaches, good places, but its on north.. the best brazilian girls is on south.

if you are thinking about brazil, id say florianopolis is great. awesome girls, beautiful beachs, not a big city (id say just 500k people.. big citys has violence here in brazil, so itsa good thing floripa isn't big), its PRETTY safe city btw. imo its the best place here in brazil... in winter is a bit cold since florianopolis is on the south, but still pretty cool. (its winter nowadays in brazil. and cold i mean, 15graus celsius). rent the house in october until 3rd week of january. yes, happy new year at florianopolis is great.. i spent 1 reveillon there and i was chocked w/ how many hot girls in the same place togheter... i don't know words in english to say... was just awesome. just for you have an idea, its standard (easy) see top models in the beach, such as alessandra ambrosio, adriana lima etc.

rent a house at jurere internacional (best place at florianopolis) and will have a lot of fun. trust me...

i know 2 brazilian poker players who went to florianopolis to live there for 1year. they just LOVED it. i can put you in touch w/ them if you want..

I guess im one of those, my red line goes slightly down, while my blue climbs like spiderman.

Can you come with some tips, or expand a bit on the post?

well, tbh i kind of expected my sd winnings to dominate my nsd winnings against fish, I probably didn't really assume correctly the sheer number of small uncontested pots to win etc. Like i said i'm a newbie to hu (beyons starting tables at fr) and obv realise that greenline > than whatever the red or blue lines do independantly. But wondered whether others had there own experience of what is optimal. I realise after i asked the question that fish can obviously come in all shapes and forms hence there is likely to be variety in the ones you win mostly at sd most with and the others you primarily beat with nsd, so i suspect my question is basically null and void from the start :S

the only time i ever see that happen on stars is when a fish is on the list and nobody realizes it that is sitting on the table. if you think you should go ahead and sit in and play nuts hu while you wait for a fish to come to the game then good luck with that lol.

and it's not that they think they would be huge -EV to nuts but why play a super high variance game at the peak of your bankroll's ability?

looking to bet on jungleman at -190 before the next match. PM me if ur interested.

Hitting Thailand on Monday... Any suggestions of things to do in Chiang Mai or Koh Samui?

bang hookers

or trannies?

threesome

Can anyone tell me why the stars HU tables are like they are (like why 1/2 tables are either 20-50 or 40-100, whereas 2/4 tables are strictly 20-100)? I remember there being a thread a while ago with some stars rep asking for suggestions and the table stack structure was being talked about but I didn't pay too much attention to it... sorry if this has been asked before

The thing I would do from Samui is get on a boat to Koh Phangan.

the blue/red lines are only good at spotting extremes in someone's play and they might not even be "wrong" depending on the stakes/table selection. I've never put any weight on it and I think a lot of regs tend to put way too much emphasis on it. I'm guessing it's "cool" to have a positive redline.. very 2p2ish way of thinking.

More like the fish way to think. 90% of recreational/beginner poker players make bad calls (which they might even realize are losing) because they are so afraid of getting bluffed. I think it's the same thinking, it's cool to "win by bluffing" (which is not really even what positive nonsd means, ldo)

nah, moreso that almost all winners seem to have a positive red line (although there prob is a big selection bias in whether graphs get posted with or without red line) so if you don't have one and you don't have a ptbb as high over a huge sample obv there's gonna be doubt

put me in as maybe. Our cash game house was pretty bad ass this past year.

ya rbracco, vegas next summer i might go to. put me as ''maybe''

btw people mover, why your cash house was bad?

Let's get this stupid story about red/blue lines finish for good:

If u are great player, HU in general you must win most pots, and given that in HU no1 hits vast majority of the time, and even when they hit, you can take them off those hands, and the better you are, the more and bigger and more often you will take away, and they adjust incorrectly and try to take a stand and pay you off, or try to bluff and get owned with you snapping them off.
I've thought it's impossible to fight fire with fire with uncaring maniacs, but i was so wrong until Ive got better understanding of the game and more confident, and when i play a maniac most times what happens is i start playing with more fire, either he lucks out 2-3 times and donks it all backanyway, or busts quick and leaves or reloads, busts and leaves, or he turns into almost a NIT.

BOTTOM LINE: If you can't have positive redline in HU - you are not great player. Yah, you are ok on small-midstakes to crush donks, regpish, but not good thinking somewhat advanced player. Ofc there great players who are consistent big winners with blue-line and redline around zero or negative, but with that style of play you can not increase your winrate to skyrocket, cos this style of play HAVE TO include lots of trapping, and since no1 ever has anything in HU -it's super tough job.

CLIFFS: If your NSD suffers in HU - your aint rock star

But part of those who DO show redline here is FAKE anyway, their redline is bigger then it would be if they played better.
