Playing 200nl FR after spending the last 25k hands at 200nl 6max feels like shooting fish in a barrel...

Yea, FR regs are, for the most part, easier to exploit than 6max regs.

Btw, I might be getting staked for 200NL soon so expect to see me at ur tables Belgo.

For the first time in a while, I feel like I am a good poker player again and have somewhat of a clue of what I'm doing.

true.

But i think it's also that the FR regs are less into the 3bet/4bet/5bet game against each other, and that means we can all play effectively deeper against the fishes, which is obviously hugely profitable.

Obv FR regs are just more intelligent. Against regs who will adjust to your light 3-bets toning it down a bit and only squeezing in better spots will allow both of you to be able to play deeper against the fishes and exploit them much more easily. All 6max regs care about is waving their dicks obv

Oh also I just broke my total online cash profit from last month. Last month was 70k hands = 1.5k plus rakeback/tourneys/live this month I just broke 1.5k profit in about 3k hands lol.

Yet another PS update that leaves me HUD less

You could also say that FTP 200nl regs are more intelligent than the PS ones for exactly the same reasons.

whats wrong with that?

Perspective is powerful.

 

[Lemlywinks]

Anyone know how many hands (approximately ofc) it would take to get a silverstar 9 tabling 10NL FR at Stars?

Not saying I'm going to do it, but i was just curious

 

[jdeliverer]

Nice winrate lol... 50 bb/100? probably sustainable

 

[kleitches]

You can't opt to not show your cards. You can only choose whether or not to view others'.

From what I understand you actually can choose to not show your cards during an all-in situation, they just won't be shown until the actual showdown.

Edit: Hmm, after looking at the options I think I may have misunderstood what they meant by "Show hole cards when all-in" too. Meh.

 

[kleitches]

Why do I doubt this?

PREPARED FOR:
zachvac
This report card is based on 13 hands tracked at $0.01/$0.02 CAP NL Hold'Em (6 max) on Full Tilt Poker by PokerTableRatings.com


RAKEBACK EARNINGS:
You would have earned $1,925.74 if you had PokerTableRatings.com Rakeback!

$1,925.74

I think that is referring to the rakeback for all the hands that they've tracked on him, not just at 2nl .

This is wrong, if you decide not to show cards when you get all in it won't work for anyone at the table. I quoted it from a post at 2+2 a couple pages back I guess I'll go find it again.

"Showing Hole Cards When All-In: In Ring Games, the default will now be to show the hole cards when everybody is all-in (just like tournaments). However, if you'd rather not show your cards until the showdown, you can deactivate this option in the 'Options' menu of the main lobby. The hole cards will only be shown if everybody in the hand has the option enabled."

Newb Question: Why is playing 200bbs deep > 100bbs deep?

It's only really better if you have an edge on the person. So you have more room to make moves and take more money I guess.

Yea I can understand it being good as you will always get the maximum out of stacking.

I don't see how this allows you to play more hands, however.

bigger implied odds

like jew said, implied odds.

hands like suited connectors, suited gappers, small pairs etc play better than AK type hands etc. because its gonna be harder to be committed early in the hand, which is what you want with hands like AK that make top pair a lot, its gonna be profitable to play hands that can make str8s and flushes and benefit from high and medium SPR's

you can read more about it in PNL

Like I know that should make sense to me but what allows you to do this with a 100bb instead of 200bb? Don't you have the same implied odds with 76s vs AKo with a 100bb as you do with a 200bb?
