The overall aggression was ratcheted so high that I found it difficult to beat the game, with wild variance to boot. For some perspective, I'm regularly able to beat the 2/4 and 3/6 games at Bodog and Ultimate Bet, and I was quite successful at Absolute last year at those stakes when they still had enough bonus to keep me, but at WPEX I found 2/4 and especially 3/6 to be very very tough.
One possibility is that I just needed to tighten up much more. Almost every hand seemed to be a fight for the blinds, with 1 raiser and 1 defender, or 1 raiser and 1 reraiser. From there, any bet by a non-raiser was pretty much automatically raised, often on the turn too. You never knew until the river if your hand was any good. I play somewhere around 20-22% of normal pots, so it's not like I'm loose, and I'm usually pretty aggressive, but this site made me feel like I had to button down completely and only play big hands and then hope to hold up through all the raising and reraising. Is it still that aggro there?
Even with rakeback I didn't do much better than break even there and eventually returned to what, for me at least, were much greener pastures at pretty much any other poker site. |
