I no longer win Forum: Bonus Whores | I won at .5/1 - saw that 1/2 (at that time) had the same players and I was losing so I basically skipped 1/2 and went with 2/4 and never looked back. - Of course now I play because it's faster to work off bonus's.
I think .5/1 is a double edges sword. One one hand you can not get people to lay down a hand - on the other - people won';t lay down their hand LOL - depends what kind of streak you are on. | | Static Link |

(1.25BB/100 in 49,000 hands) and my .50/1.00 and 1/2 results have my as a net loser at the lower levels (-.22BB/100 in 24,000 hands).
My WtSD% remains consistantly at 31.00% at all levels and my $ Won at SD% is right at 55.00 for all levels. Total Aggression is less than 2.
I guess I was just venting and reflecting on the disparity between the low limit and the micro limit.
My own fault actually (bordom); I don't concentrate multi tabling all the time with no table selection just to clear the bonus's. Just another A D D adult I guess.

| Posted by: Grinder at April 14, 2005, 4:12 am | | Topic: After 80,000 hands of Party .50/1.00.... I no longer win Forum: Bonus Whores | 1st of all - the sad part - 1.75/100 is pretty small. One losing streak - even at 80,000 can bring that down.
I'm in the 5.00/100 (without bonus added in) in 1/2 and 2/4 play and last month WITH ONLY playing when I have a bonus (80 tables hours a month) I lost money. It happens. You start to lose the idea that you can win.
As for being raised - that's a tuff one. I figure when I'm raised the guy has a GREAT hand. However - in .5/1 games you are playing with pretty weak players that do not know what a strong hand is.
I got out of .5/1 as soon as I could BECAUSE I wanted better players (weird as that sounds). Play straight up ABC poker in losing streaks - if you have it bet it - if you don't, get out. Avoid calling hands if you can until you are winning again. Nothing will get under you skin and tilt you more then calling hands that don't hit and MOST of the time a good size losing streak will tilt you slightly. | | Static Link |

I no longer win Forum: Bonus Whores | A couple of years ago I maintained a pretty regular 1.75 BB/100. Then the volume of players on Party trippled and now I just break even. How many .50/1.00 Limit Holdem Whores out there 1. Make a lot, 2. make a little, 3. break even or 4. lose a little, not including the lifesaving bonus's.
I'm a PT rated Tight-Aggressive?Passive kind of player with a VP$IP/PFR%/WtSD of 17 / 6.5 / 30.
At Party do I literally HAVE to fold my Top pr good kkr EVERY time some player raises me?
Thoughts anybody??? Feel free to guess my major leak/leaks at this level.
Thanks,
