Petoria 0 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 FTP is the best new site and is way better than Party in tournaments. Interface is better. If they get a bunch of new players, then they'll be in the top 3. Link to post Share on other sites

Waffles2003 1 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 i just wish u could deposit for $25 and i wish they had macro limits tables...its kind of an expensive site in general. Link to post Share on other sites
TheCinciKid 0 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 i just wish u could deposit for $25 and i wish they had macro limits tables...its kind of an expensive site in general.I would tend to disagree with that statement. Not sure what the minimum deposit is, but they have .25/.50 limit and .05/.10 NL. I dunno, I guess they don't really have micro limits, but there is plenty of action at the lower limits.

A bot will typically do better when there are fewer decisions to make. In LHE, it's either bet or dont bet; call, raise, or fold. In PLO, youve gotta decide how much you actually want to bet.

A bot will typically do better when there are fewer decisions to make. In LHE, it's either bet or dont bet; call, raise, or fold. In PLO, youve gotta decide how much you actually want to bet.I think for low limit it would be easier to do PLO because you can program it to be completely mechanical. Would it be as good as a competent human? No, but it doesn't need to be. You just need to program something similar to a Smash NL strategy that only takes into account what your hand is and you make a "reasonable" choice for how much to call on draws to the nuts, like you have top set on the turn but a flush is possible. It would be harder with things like a wrap straight draw to determine your outs properly to determine the odds but still doable IMO. On the other hand, if you the nuts (or near nuts like top full house), bet the pot.The only hard part would be in starting hand requirements but something as restrictive as a suited A with either a pair of J's or better or all 3 cards higher than a 9. Small caveats for hands like KKQQ would probably also be useful but you don't need too much for it to work.This would be very easy to program, and the only hard part is finding the cutoffs for when to chase a good draw and what hands to limp into a pot with. You get paid off handsomely by the same type of idiots that call your preflop all-in with Q7s vs. your AA. You slowly blind yourself away against good opponents, but those aren't the ones you stand to make too much money from anyway.As for LHE, there is WAY too much gray area when you have something like AA on a KJ83 board and you get raised. You have a very good hand, so folding is bad, but reraising could be disastrous if they have something like 88 for a set. This and other situations where you have a good hand, but not a lock or near lock hand, can make a huge difference between beating LHE and not.Zara Link to post Share on other sites
