Full Version: What Is The Advantage To Switching Tables So Much?
FCP Poker Forum > Poker Strategy Forum > General Strategy

These 2 have been playing between 4 and 6 tables $500-$1000 NL heads up for the past 2 days and I've noticed they switch tables a lot. Is there any advantage to doing this? I haven't seen anyone do it this much before.

Thanks!

probably banking/organizing

it could also have a superstitious factor

also some have 2 seats some have 6...

It is because Durrrr doesn't have any other cash on FTP.. so anytime he doubles up a table he leaves and rebuys for 100k on one or two other tables. The other guy won't keep playing if it gets down to 2 or 3 tables.

Thanks for the info guys. Its ironic that they made his name a red pro now, but doesnt have any money on the site.

Losing close to 3 million in like a week is an easy way to bust an account.

durrrr getting his ass kicked again id say hes down 500 K + right now ateast

maybe a full million

so in total 3 mil hes down im guessing ---- 5 AM and they still playing 6 tables

isidur1 has 2.9+ mil spread out on 6 tables

durrrr has 1.4+ mil spread out on the 6 tables

man its crazy its like durrrr dont wanna give up his online champion status

Isildur1 confuses me to death. Last night he was playing Patrik Antonius, Phil Ivey and Durrrr all at once.

Results:

Patrik Antonius schools Isildur at Omaha NL. Seriously. He bought in with $200,000 and I went to play a few SNGs and saw PA's chips at $1.6 million. Isildur makes a lot of crazy bluffs (he bet his whole buy in on 2 pair HU Omaha NL with a sick board like Ac Qc 10c 4d 7c) and Patrik Antonius is good enough to call him most of the time he's full of it.

Ivey grinds it out with Isildur in Hold'em NL. I watched on and off for about an hour and Ivey was up $100,000, lots of back and forth as once again Isildur makes huge bluffs that Ivey can only sometimes call.

Dwan is a durrrr. He probably lost another half million to Isildur. They would basically bust one another's stacks every 5 minutes (they both play like lunatics) and then rebuy at another table, but from what I was watching Isildur was getting the best of him.

A common hand for Isildur vs any pro:

Isildur posts 500 / Pro posts 1000
Isildur raises to $3000
Pro calls
Flop (some lame uncoordinated board)
Isildur checks
Pro bets $5000
Isildur calls
Turn (another useless card)
Isildur checks
Pro checks
River (omg scare card!!!)
Isildur checks
Pro bets $20,000
Isildur bets $250,000 and is all-in!
Pro has requested time...

I dont know if any of you guuys saw my post about the future of online poker (but it was inspired by isildur)

anyways. its this exact type of comment that makes me wonder, could isildur be a group, or a makeshift company.

a group of guys who have studied the top llevels for a while, data mined the hell out of durrr, got funding, and now are trying out their "perfect style" vs durrr and the like.

I mean, isildur could be losing to ivey and PA because they figure if it works vs durrr, maybe it works vs most pro's.


Online poker has opened up a totally new and different can of worms from its origins as a card game in casino's.

Think about, only online poker lets you watch multiple tables of any limit, only online poker gives you easy access to record all the hands other players play.
Only online poker lets you play as a group behind your monitor without anyone knowing,
and only online poker allows you total random identity protection.

its a new day

50c max rake at HU tables. 25c of which is Durrrs (which he gets back)
