$2/$4 Stud Hi Party - LC

[greenage]

Are the cultural differences between Party and Stars great enough to warrant a distinction when posting a hand? WTF just happened?

They were drawing crap and didn't want to face your paired door card?

Just because it is Party doesn't neccesarily mean that they are morons.

Case in point, a lot of the players here go to Party to play with the fish. I can spot a few of them at the tables.

After all, there are not a lot of Stud PLayers online. A sad fact but it is true. There are about 40 Stud players playing right now at 2/4 vs. well over 100 at the Hold 'em 2/4.

Poker Stars players also can be plungers. I was playing a game of 10/20 over New Years and lost 450$ to four 8s when I had a Full House. He drew it on the last card. I thought I was a drunken buffoon but I looked at the hand history and reviewed it and I played it well. I started with a Full House on the first five cards and he had a pair of 8s with his first five cards.

My point is that you can't over generalize the major sites (Even though I do it myself, LOL!) Who the hell would have thought someone would bet into a FullHouse at those stakes with two eights in Poker Stars?

Yes, I am scarred for life.

No, no I’m not saying Party is full of buffoons. The play here is better than at Stars (better and worse), I think. It’s a kind of cultural difference that I’m trying to point out. You usually don’t see that kind of multiway action on Stars. It’s just different, I think.
