Forum: Bonus Whores | jeffostar - I have been playing online for 6 years and all sites are different. Prima has different players then Crypto which is different then Party which is different then Pokerroom.
All sites need slightly different styles of play. Some people are better at some sites then other sites.
I thrive at the Crypto sites, their style suites my style. Party is a different story where the play is dumber pre flop but the plays is better post flop, Prima is different yet then Party and is WAY different then Crypto.
Poker rooms are not all the same. | | Static Link |

Party is the juciest for me. But I take a different approach as I tighten up and play far fewer hands. I turn into a rock. At party, for the most part you can't bluff people out. But you do get paid off when you make your hand.
I think you misunderstood me, I meant you need to play there for a decent period of time, not up your % hands played. I play 4 tables uber tight at Party & Skins. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: jgoldstein at November 25, 2005, 1:14 am | | Topic: Isn't Party Poker Supposed to be EASY? Forum: Bonus Whores | | I haven't played Party other than for the deposit bonus (it is next on my list for reloads since I just finished Bet 365, Empire, and Stars). I did not have many problems in being moderately successful. I had to tighten up by seeing about 3-5% less flops than normal in order to be successful (I'm usually in 21-22% of pots going into the flop on other sites). Same went for Empire...I found this out the hard way after getting smoked initially, then playing well after I made my adjustments. | | Static Link |

It amazes me there how many times people forced me all in with me holding AA preflop, and their hole cards are stuff like 67, A10, and even 33 yesterday. Damn guy made his set too.. yikes. But, I don't critisize him. I just say GH, and move on.
At other places, such as AP, where the players are much better on avg, you can do some fancier stuff, as they can pick up on it. And you don't have, generally, 7 people paying to see the flop.

| Posted by: Roymund at November 24, 2005, 12:26 pm | | Topic: Isn't Party Poker Supposed to be EASY? Forum: Bonus Whores | | I always try to play AA and KK strong preflop. Having them in late position is the best. Or you can limp in early position and reraise. Twice in the past week I've had KK and run into AA and laid it down preflop. I had position both times and there was a raise and reraise and this being party people only reraise with strength. | | Static Link |

Might be ok at 5/10 or something but not at micro or just above. I limped in with pocket aces 4 times at Party 50NL the other night and made a killing. They never had a clue until it was too late. But to do that you got to be willing to lay them down if you think you're beat. I had to lay K's down but I knew I was beat and saved myself some money. I think I've actually done better there limping instead of trying to bet the idiots out preflop.

At most other sites, aces full of 3s beats 3s full of 10s.

Attack, attack, attack. Hurt them bad, like full stack bad, when they're going for flush draws. Play some silly hands yourself, especially ones that may give you straights, those guys NEVER see straights. Play pocket pairs as well, trips will pay you off big style.
But whatever you do, don't let them get to you. Just laugh when they pay 62o and flop a straight, these things happen.
