Yeah it's way easier at Party because they save hand histories locally and tracker can import those. You used to have to request hand histories, though tracker can auto-request for you every X mins.As far as the stats meaning something or whatnot, sadly you are going to want like 10k before you put a lot of weight into what they're saying. Though you'll start to see some semblance of meaning by 3-5k perhaps, if you want stats you can trust you will have to wait longer.And if you talk to hardcore stats dudes you want 25-50k hands. I personally believe you start to see some meaningful stuff w

Haha, I'm glad you won. I'm not sure what it would take to lose that hand as nothing can possibly beat it in two cards. If you find a site where it's possible to lose that hand (short of you folding) please tell me so I can avoid it.And yeah, I know you were joking, I just felt like joking back.Btw GRATS on your royal! I don't think I've ever FLOPPED one actually. I've only had like 7-8 in my online life.----------------------------------------------------------------How distressing, I just looked in tracker and I apparently only have 4 royals in ring games. Though I only started using tr

I second the post by Jordan. I've been loaned and loaned money. Obviously you shouldn't be loaning money you can't afford to lose. That should always be the case, in real life or live. I don't care if he's your best friend in the world, if you will be screwed if you loan him and he defaults, you probably shouldn't loan. But if have talked to somebody and like them, it's your money if you want to loan or give it, shrug.I knew this guy I played chess with on ICC and he was down on his luck, so I gave him 250 bucks to build himself back up. Oh, a chessplaying friend who also played poker I

As far as I know it hasn't been moved to PM because their MTT don't work yet, or don't work well. That's per a post Daniel put up. The plan is to move it there eventually. Which means another site I'll have to put money on.

Dude, come on. Are you trying to tell me one size fits all? I mean in Harrington's book which I just started (because of all the rave reviews) I've already read that he says typically 3ish, but sometimes as low as 2x and sometimes as high as 5x. For example I tend to raise higher if there is a limper, since they usually will call a normal 3x. I mean basically if you have something like QQ/JJ that you don't mind at all taking down preflop (when blinds are huge). Also I'd do this if I'm stealing too, since you try to play the same regardless preflop as to not give stuff away.I just dislike

I read about half to 2/3rds of the hands and it looked like good play from you.I just felt like pointing out he didn't get a runner runner, . He flopped a flush draw. You can diss his preflop coldcall with KJc for sure, but he flopped a flush draw with 2 overcards, then thought his J pair was best on the turn when he raised, plus he still has his original flush draw he flopped. Which of course he rivered.

Yeah, you can't really compare NL or limit here, it's apples/oranges.I'm not sure exactly what good numbers are. I'm at went to SD% of 38.71 and won money at showdown 51.90 percent.Here's my stats for 15/30 lifetime. I used to be like 27.5 vp$ip but I'm cutting back and brought my lifetime stats to a percent point+ less.

Scoff! They have their place. 6 limpers and you're on the button? SURE!74 suited is the hand I won my biggest 2/4 pot with ever back in the day. Like 132 bucks!

Heh, that was my favorite hand for a while too. I like suited connectors anyway, and I had like a few lucky hands with it. Sadly, I apparently played it too much or overplayed it. I checked, and in 21k hands of 15/30 it's my biggest money loser. Sadly I'm serious. I guess I have to give up my favorite hand. :)

They both work with PokerTracker databases and give you live-tracking stats based on people are your table. The beauty of them is that it puts the stats over the actual table, usually right next to the person's name. Very key when you multi-table. So you can have a players various stats given in (near) realtime so you have them available while multi-tabling.PlayerView works only with party and skins. It's the one I use at the moment. I'm pretty new to these things, but I really really like it. http://www.playerview.net/Check out the layouts link on the left to see what it can look like.G

I was wondering that too....b/c Daniel mentioned he was a christian and I'm a christian and I don't drink so I was wondering what his stance on drinking was. EmilyHah, his stances at various points have changed on this issue from what I've read. But you can feel safe that his current stance is more on line with your "I don't drink" position than it has been in the past. Then again, he wasn't neceesarily a christian (or a devout one) at those times in the past, so hey!The reason Daniel is such an interesting person is because he isn't one dimensional, and he's shared so much of himself with

The only good strat sheets I've seen were on 2+2 or people on 2+2 who linked other strat sheets they had created. My links are all old but lemme look.Well sheeit, this is ancient. Back from when I was first perusing 2+2. Like May of last year, but it links to some other stuff. And the original thread guy hasn't given a link yet, so I'll give you this. It's not like SnG strategy (if blind structure whatnot hasn't changed) is going to change hugely. Though depends obviously on if opponents skills/proclivities changes too.

What sxz18 can work just fine too, but I don't think you have to drop down to multi-table. All you have to do is understand you have to play a bit more ABC (especially if you're talking 3-4 or more tables). You can't get as tricky, or make as many plays based on your "reads".The thing I'd ask Uah, when do you have a single online table last for 5-6 hours and not have the table break or have entire new players come on?As far as your question of losing valuable info -- first let me say, obviously your BB/hour goes down when you multi-table, goes down PER table, but since you're doing 3-4 times

If it was a crazy-nice fish, then sure, I'm always sorry to see him go. But in my experience most true fish don't leave the table right after they win. They try to "ride the wave" of their luck some. In my online experience usually fish leave for 2 reasons, 3 if you count table starting to break. The two reasons are 1) they bust out and don't rebuy, a very sad thing; 2) someone yells and whines and tells them how horrible a player they are after they suck out.Most fish I see are happy as hell to keep playing when they get suckouts, they're obviously running HOT!

Screen size (how physically big your monitor is) makes no difference to how many tables will fit with no overlap. That's resolution. As long as your video card will do 1600/1200 you can fit 4 windows perfectly with no overlap. BUT you obviously need a physically large enough monitor so that you can actually READ what's on all 4 screens when you have it at such a resolution. :)I have a 21 inch and it's easy to read while at 1600/1200 res. I'd think a 19 was doable if not FUN. You also have the option that many more people are doing now - getting two monitors and putting them on the same v

This is a funny story. I especially like your "one thing in life I hate, its losing money to a fish" statement. But you had more outs than you thought, especially after the turn. Any Q or J also gave you a boat.We've all given beats of course, most often when you thought your kinda good hand was best, but the other guy had a great hand and you drew out. So when you get toasted by the fish do you say your "hey thats poker" comment? Some people still do, but most don't, not then.

I totally and utterly agree with the bolded stuff. Bad beats by calling stations don't even phase me at all anymore (unless I have like literally 7 in 7 mins, and even then it's not THAT bad). What pisses the HELL out of me are people who checkraise, raise, or cap improbable draws and then hit.Flop was 568, I have 66, this guy leads out (with what turns out to be A9o). I'm FINE with him leading out, semi-bluff sure. I raise, he calls. Turn is a K, he checks, I bet, he checkraises me, I 3bet him, he calls. River is a 7. Joy. He bets I flat call and I lose to his 1 card straight.Even thi

I hadn't read rpg more than a couple times before this, so much random spam and flaming it's hard to get to any real info.This Georgiev does seem to have a clue about poker, but also seems like such a crank. Nobody appears to take him seriously, not that that proves anything. I have a hard time believing much of what he wrote about online poker, but obviously you can't DISPROVE it either, haha, as always.The Doyle/Reese stuff and Baldwin stuff, I dunno. Again it would be quite worrying if it were true, how can one know? It all seems like Tilt turned real life. But without quite so much ba

That seems typical with what I've seen outside of vegas. 5-6 bucks max rake seems the norm sadly. Vegas is usually 4 dollars max (or occasionally, but rarely, 3), is this correct you vegas-people?And as others said, this doesn't include the almost necessary toking when you win big pots (or win any pots depending).The lower rake and no toking is one of the advantages of online play, along of course with easier table selection, player notes/stats, more hands per hour, and multi-tabling. The obvious downside is lack of social interaction, no free booze, and no COMPARABLE tells (for those live-

You should basically always be betting. First off giving free cards is stupid, second it's really fishy (suspicious I mean) to raise preflop, and then not bet the flop when it comes like that. To me that SCREAMS you nailed the flop. If they expect you to bet, you should oglige them, maybe they'll think you have AQ and their KJo they called 2 cold with is good and will raise you. :)But anyway, TPTK is not something you should even remotely slowplay. Even on a rainbow flop. I mean ok, if you know for SURE some crazy-LAG/Maniac is in late position, you could check-raise him, but if you know

6 actually, and an extra 3 more assuming a jack didnt come out nextWhat crack are you on, can I have some?Flop:A24Hero: 53 for a straight on the flopSB: A4 for two pair on the flopOther guy: AJ for top pair ok kickerMr. A4 has 3 outs to boat up. Not 4 and surely not 6. You'd ASSUME he'd have 4, but when the cards were turned over one of his aces was gone. He has only 1 ace and 2 4s to boat up. Our hero has a made straight, remember? So yeah, after the turn where they hit the case ace, now mr. AJ has 3 outs to get a higher boat, but shrug.

Yeah going out on the bubble really sucks. That said, I really don't think there's any reason not to go allin preflop here. The only reason not to IMO is if you ARE going to bail with an ace on the flop. Otherwise there is absolutely no real reason not to reraise allin preflop imo.You said it yourself, you're not going to get away from the hand anyway because you'd have no chips, so what's the point of flat calling, and check-calling the ace-high flop.

Geez I amuse myself. I yelled at somebody for talking about pot odds in terms of 2 cards instead of 1 a week or two ago, and now I'm about to (not yell) talk about if you're JAMMING on the flop, you need to figure your chance to win over 2 cards. It applies primarily to flush and OESDs of course.First, if you're jamming, you want to talk about pot equity, the chance you will win vs your "fair share" percent compared to how many are still in active in the hand. So flush draw on the turn you're roughly 1/5th, so if 5 other people are in the hand, you will win more than your fair share (fair s

I would think the JJ would be a pretty easy hand to let go of. Any hand that's limp-raising you, you're at best going to have a 50% shot at. AK or an overpair.Haha, you must only play vs good people. I've been limp-reraised by utter trash a number of times.Don't get me wrong, I know what you're saying, but if you have no reads on the people, it can really depend. And if you have no reads you do almost have to go on the assumption they aren't yahoos, but man, I see some of the most ridiculous sh1t being limp-reraised. Usually of course when I have AA/KK so I don't have to worry as much about
