agreed... i finally gave up on PSC too once the developer gave up, and went 'open source' with it. i'm primarily on ftp and use ninja. i don't have any special needs or demands so it works out well for me. auto sit/BI/blinds and get my bets into the correct box.

Besides the fallacy that 2p2ers are homogeneously good at poker, you're missing the entire effect of what would happen if everyone played the deep tables. Fish just join whatever table they find open first. If there were 27 deep tables running and 9 shallows full of korean shorties, you'll have 3/4 of the fish on deep tables.

well, i know it's not true that all 2P2ers are poker gods, i like to think they generally are probably a bit better than the rest of the population.

another thing, thogh, is that 2+2ers are a small segment of the population, tiny actually, percentagewise, compared to the number of people on FT. unfortunately, we're not ever going to be "everyone"

that said, i take it back. it's a good idea, i just know that the majority of fish probably don't play the deepstack tables, if they can get on a reg table. though, taht said, the real fish don't give a rats ass and sit wherever is open. so.... moot point, perhaps? :-)

In my ideal world there would be (in addition to rainbows and sunshine and naked ladies with large chests) just the cap tables for the shorties to fight it out on, and the rest of the "regular" tables are all 50-200bb buyin.

there's some good discussion about the SS problem in the SSFR FTP reg thread... one of the things that has been suggested is having 10-40bb "short" tables, 50-100bb "standard" tables and 100-200bb ante tables - this would be pretty much ideal imo

but you can't just ignore the problem and say "learn to adjust to shorties" or "table select better" because as you move up it becomes a huge problem and there's not a whole lot you can do... at 200NL finding a non-deep table with less than 4-5 shorties can be pretty difficult and it only gets worse as you move into midstakes
09-24-2009 , 04:27 PM
King Spew, to be clear, your post is referring to the program POKER SHORTCUTS that JLborloo linked? TY for the tips, 2 stacks (separated by client) is just as doable for me
09-24-2009 , 05:39 PM
I would love 200bb tables with antes. No short stacker scums and the antes would def help to loose up the games IMO.

But after I heared how long it took until FTP introduce the cash games filter I am afraid we could wait at least 2 years until we get antes tables
09-24-2009 , 05:57 PM
you guys dont need ante tables, just search me on FTP and let me flop TP there is no way im folding it lately so you can valuetown the **** out of me

Just happy that i can give back to the FT regs in a positive way

The discuss is really in the Internet Poker forum under ftp 9/22 answers threads. And has much more info than the SSFR thread.

my goals at fiddy are to get through it as quickly as possible and grind hard at 100NL. if it weren't for the overpair stackings, i'd be more than halfway there.

maybe it's a bad fold mathematically, but it's what my gut told me and i've lost count of the times i felt behind when i shipped it in - then lost anyway.
I think your missing the point. There were 2 potential decision points. To continue to pat yourself on the back because you had ESP about MP2 is bad poker thinking.

The decision you faced was after the SB donked (TP) and with MP2 (set) still to act and Call >> Fold >>>> Shove. You definitely made a bad Fold but a shove would have been terribad.

After MP2 shoves, it is an easy Fold for you. Fold>>>> Call/Shove

Incidentally, there's a video on the Full Tilt Academy where Alan Cunningham has pocket aces and sniffs out that he is beat by Phil Ivey. He goes through his thinking and why he laid his aces down on the river. He found out on TV later that his thinking was right and that Ivey had a set.

I felt like I had to call with QQ vs. an unknown shorty, then I cringed when two other players called, and I cringed even more when the Ace came on the flop. I couldn't believe what the two non-SS villains showed up with.

Does anyone else think that Hero can get a small bet in here on the river to get paid from a Jx hand or some random hand like 99 or TT ?
