*****NOVEMBER NARCOTICS POKER THREAD*****

[switch0723]

sng's seriosuly suck the penis. I think i'm just going to go back to HU, or a might try and play 50nl fr for a bit. argghghrghr i unno what to do now the sng plan has fallen through

 

[Jagsti]

What sng plan?

 

[eNTy]

You know, 10NL is that bad everywhere. But I agree, everest players are probably even worse.

The major problem with that site is you can't really move up there. Like right now, there are only 4 FR tables running at 50NL.

You know I am playing 10nl on stars and Everest now and I just don't agree.
It's rather small samples at the time, but I see a big difference. Stars players just know what they're doing more. For instance you can easily raise to 35c unopened or 40c with a limper and get numerous calls on Everest. Raising to 30c unopened on stars gets the blinds some of the times. Just in general Everest is so loose passive. Most of the fish never raise preflop, they just call and call and call .

Also Stars is 10x more swingier in terms of beats I feel .

But anyway I don't plan on playing at Everest for long. Probably cash out there December 9th after I cleared my bonus and my free books.

If anyone is interested, I have a little ongoing study atm :

the play sng's for a month so i don't have to concentrate like at all for a month plan. Keep up Jay, sheesh

although i was bored out of my brains the one and oly time i tried a double or nothing sng, for the sake of your experiment dsv, i will expertly 20 table some later tonight and see if that makes sng's at least slightly entertaining

Enty - well if the fish are even fishier there then the swings will come m8. Maybe because you have only just signed up there you havn't had much chance for the swings to kick in yet maybe?

LOL at switch - you may not have a brain to think with after you mash it with a sledgehammer because of the lovely sng variance afaik

That sounds like a dumb idea.

well, 10nl is the smallest cash game available on Everest while for PS it's the third level already, and it makes sense that the totally clueless fishes play the lowest level.

it's funny that everest does not offer 2nl while they go down to $0.1+0.01 for their sngs.

LOL. We should bet about when (not if, that would be too easy) dsvw56 will die of boredom, imo.

Well there are still some horrendous beats but I just keep playing for a while longer and the money just seems to come to me in the end. Like the beats are evened out by all the fish giving me money.

Actually they do offer 2nl and 2c/4c limit as well

nice pot @ 50nl TB

My day is going better than yesterday.....about 4 BIs up as I was down about 8-7 yesterday but I'm still in profit

 

[zachvac]

The over/under is already set at Thursday.

Under and it's not even close .

That said those tourneys are ridiculously soft. I've played a few $20 ones and they're just filled with nits. If the $50's are as soft I would consider heavy multi-tabling those for fpps as a break from cash (without the typical sng variance) but first off I'd assume people are better, there are more people with my mentality, and they don't fill up fast enough.

 

[BelgoSuisse]

Actually they do offer 2nl and 2c/4c limit as well

only if you're a beginner, i.e. registered for less than 3 months. It's also the case for the $0.04+0.01 sngs for those beginners who can't afford the $0.1+0.01 ones...

 

[eNTy]

Oh is that what the no DBP icon means?
I was wondering what that was.

Well there are still some horrendous beats but I just keep playing for a while longer and the money just seems to come to me in the end. Like the beats are evened out by all the fish giving me money.

I shouldn't have said this as I've had my first neg session, -2 BI's.
But this time I had to stop early cause of dinner .

 

[KingCurtis]

This weeks goal: 20k hands(17.5k for the first week)
This months goal: Be at 25nl and goldstar from playing 10nl(anyone doubt me?) from my calculations I can do it if I play 20k hands a week.

 

[icemonkey9]

Curtis you're a monster if you get 20k hands IN A FLIPPIN WEEK.

I did 2k hands yesterday and my brain is just fried, but i might do it again today.

heh guy at 100nl FR had a 27k hand day. Granted he's 24-tabling and involved in a prop bet on who can play the most hands in a month, but that's still insane

 

[KingCurtis]

well I'd have to play 2k hands mon-thur., since I have off school every Friday I can put 4k hands in on Fri-Sun. which would be 20k. This all without something coming up or plans I have already I forgot lol. Plus some sng or mtt buy-ins which add a small amount too.

OMG

Zach didnt you figure out how many hands a day or week youd have to play at 100nl or 200nl to acheive SNE?

 

[Jagsti]

Poopy's doing 27k hands/day at 200nl 6max, and has done for the last 2 weeks afaik! Insane, totally insane!

 

[Jagsti]

200nl FR = 2million hands fro the year approx for SNE

 

[KingCurtis]

200nl FR = 2million hands fro the year approx for SNE

wow almost 170k hands a month, I dont know if I could handle that

 

[eNTy]

300bb pot is sweet !
Even if it's not 400b or at 50 nl
And I wasn't even full stacked
