If your weekend STT results always seem to suffer, I think I know why
 

There has been speculation that performance on the weekends suffers because "great" players get to take a break from their high-paying jobs (they have high paying jobs because they're just so smart) and that we get a chance to play them on weekends, and they just pwn everyone.

The truth is: they're just bad nits. They play horribly and they're nits. The reason your results suffer is because they keep REFINANCING the shortstacks. For example, if shortstack that's almost out is BB, these people will always make simple min bets instead of RAISING or STAYING THE *** out of the hand, giving the shortstack a freeflop. After the flop, the shortstack will allin, and the weekend geniuses will pause, as if surprised by this move, and then fold. Rinse and repeat, and you get SNGs that are out of the money for 10 levels all night long. Shortstacks are always brought back to life.

What I'd like to know is: Are your weekend results better or worse than normal? Thanks.

Speculation by whom? I've never seen this speculation. My results are always MUCH better on the weekends and I always assumed this was the case for everyone.

Edit to add that when I saw this title I thought it'd be about failure to adjust to different conditions. That's what pokers all about.

Speculation on the forums. Do you want me to dig up all the threads.

Mr. Qrawl, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I don't understand. Spewing to short stacks is an irrational -EV move, why doesn't it make you more money since you can exploit it as a short stack?

Finally!!!
The answer to my [censored] weekend STT results!!
Thanks QRAWL

Re: If your weekend STT results always seem to suffer, I think I know
 

on a serious note...

I think the reason some of us,including me, have poor weekend result is becuase we are not adjusting to the loose call ranges of some of these weekend player.

One strategy adjustment is to push tighter and avoid the marginal +EV spots unless your <5BB. I think anything between 5-10BB, we can pass up the more marginal spots because there is a greater chance that either the fish will knocked one another out or they will donate to you later on or do werid things like give u walks from the sb when u have less than 5BB.

Combine this with looser calling ranges lead to higher variance.

Sippin: You're post was pure gold.

Re: If your weekend STT results always seem to suffer, I think I know
 

OP,

Over the years, people have typically reported having better results during nights and weekends (American time).

Ty for your theories.
