i usually raise here. you have a small edge usually. post slop sucks to play though, especially OOPstill, raise is better than calling, IMO.oh, and you should try and find a new table.

Rise, we can't all play 10-handed flops :PI raise, but only if I know I'm significantly better postflop than he is.- Zach

but i wish we all could the .5/1 table at FCP are exponentially more tight than the .25/.50 tables. but still, if its usually a blind battle or blind steal at .5/1 Party, I think you should fine another table.

Party blows now. I find these blinds steal situations at .5/1 all of the time now. You just gotta focus on the two or three terrible players and extract cash from them, I guess.- Zach

yup, party sucks. I've been playing a little shorthanded here and there, lately.

I'm tempted to switch to Party's .50/1 6-max games...but I've had marginal success (albeit with a small sample) in those...then again, I'm still losing at the full ring games (again, small sample). New plan: I'm quitting poker.I may mention this too frequently, but I find it easier to find a good Full Tilt .50/1 or 1/2 game than Party. Partially because you can datamine, and partially because they've been fairly juicy lately.

How many tables can you open at once?DT, you really seem to be a quick study, the $$$ will follow.****Pancake....I fold that a lot

At Full Tilt, I want to say it's 16...but don't quote me on that.

I think Party's death knell is premature. I can usually find 2 or more good 2/4 10-handed tables between 10:00 p.m.-2:00 a.m. any night of the week. By 'good', I mean average total pots of greater than 15 SBs ($30). After a couple of blind rotations, I can either stay or go, depending on the ratio of loosey-gooseys to internet pros. My biggest problem is that the waiting lists for these tables is often discouraging (10+ people), especially on weekends. Of course, I'm willing to slum on the Jackpot tables, which usually allows me one or two more options than the regular limit tables, generally have shorter wait lists, and isn't possible below 2/4.Compared to Prima (which I've finally left after earning the final $111 of the $333 bonus), Party is a loose player madhouse.
