It's not just one hand; it's basically my whole experience. In NLHE you can kind of "make things happen," to use a phrase I hate from baseball, because it's really a game where no one has anything, so taking the initiative has such an advantage. But in PLO 6-max I just get run over, like I'll widen my range in position, four players call my raises, and I get blown off my pair on the flop. On the one hand I don't want to be too nitty, so I try and open up, but on the other I don't want to play spewy second-best-type holdings. I just feel lost, so a coach (aka Simo) needed.

Do you play anywhere else but AP? When I stopped 50nl was starting to get pretty damn tough, and I had stayed long after the scandals because of the softness. Hopefully one day we'll be allowed to join these European sitesedit: and are you a HU specialist now?

Nah just on AP, played on FT for a couple days played on FT for most of the summer. Might go back. I don't play HU at all, just try and start tables all the time. Action is on the huge decline and AP is a dying ship but the bonuses and stuff are great. The games are absolutely not soft anymore and too many people are really nitty with game selection. Most fish know of TR now and won't start games with a good reg, but other regs don't understand that and refuse to play HU. Ryan and I are going to hafta play a lot of HU against each other to start games which is kind of annoying because I think he's really good and because we share our ideas and strategy with each other the most. And winning each other's money isn't that fun either, but we're two of the only regs that understand we need to generate action so fish will sit.

... also...MURRAY vs. NADAL better be worth staying up for. For some weird reason, I think Murray is going to win this one in 5 - and I NEVER bet against Federer or Nadal when they aren't playing each other.

If I could get AP to work I'd start 3 handed games with you guys. It would actually be the most fun ever.

anyways, So, i saw the OP, and I was so focused on commenting about his buyin of 200 in a 2/5 game that the rest of my post was strung together loosely. If you notice, I never touched on it again, I was more focused on telling the OP the negatives of buying in for 40bb's ... That is until stupidhead called me out on my post.
First, as Naismith pointed out, for some people (who are learning especially) buying in for 40bb may be the best strat. He can wait patiently for a good hand and easily get it in over 2 streets. Especially against live players who will be like "oh, it's only $200" when they have a big stack and tp/weak kicker compared to our heros over-pair or w/eThen, LOL in generalAnd LOL because I was literally typing "In before this gets locked" and "doubt you're real" and I hit reply and it was lockedahajbabkl'snb;jbaljkhbs'llaAlso, sick month-to-date, Matt!

lol - You guys jumpin on their bandwagon are jokes.Matt wont tell you how he wouldnt play me in vegas. He just comes on here and posts out of his ass.anyways, The advice about buyin in short is totally irrelevent because its a fuking 2/5Nl game. If you're a beginner, play a lower game!!

It's funny when a losing player questions the manhood of a winning player. You realize that money made is the ultimate scoreboard, right?Your buy in should be based on your skill set. Experienced players can be experts with 40 blinds and just decent with 100 blinds.

italics; I dunno about bandwagon... I personally don't know AK, Naismith or Zach or any of these guys but I do know how successful they are, and I respect what they say about the gamebolded; I bet you wouldn't play AK now. Like game selection is pretty important, no? Maybe when you were in Vegas he felt out matched (just a guess) and now that he has THOUGHT about the game, played a ton of hands and is a better player than he was then, he'd jump at the opportunity

Thought you were retired from posting due to your busy schedule as a businessman?The advice is NOT irrelevant about a 2/5 game. Buying in short is not the best advice for many people, but for many others, it is perfectly good advice. It's not about losing less money because they can't afford the $500, it's because they aren't comfortable making postflop decisions so buying in shorter limits the number of streets that they have to play.When did I refuse to play you in Vegas? I met you once and we were playing HORSE or something and drinking heavily with 8 other FCP guys at Planet Hollywood. I will play you absolutely any time you want. Sign online, pick a site and we'll play. If it's not FTP, I'll transfer money so that we can play.For a long time, I made 90% of my posts in the NL strat forum here. I started off as a mediocre player and I have improved significantly. Every single strat post that I've ever made is based in math and logic - you know, the things that good poker players use to figure out the correct decisions. I would guess that I've contributed more solid strat advice in this forum than just about anyone. So no, I don't post out of my ass. I post stuff that makes sense and that I can back up. You're too stupid to even realize why buying in for 40BBs in a 2/5 game is a reasonable choice for many people, so I wouldn't go calling out some of the most successful and established poker players here as being morons.
