Now I read stuff in the micro-limit forum about people scanning the tables for 40 minutes to find TWO 0.5/1 tables with a VPIP of 30%, then the SINGLE fish leaving and it going back to 20% VPIP... WTF has happened? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I can't really see how anybody makes a profit their anymore. I can't see even a good postflop player making 4BB/100 at 0.5/1 these days, and with the killer rake I can't see many good players doing much more than breaking even...

If the current "rock-ification" trend continues then how long until we see -ve VPIPs? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Lol, just my 2cents about Party - Juk [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I think you're referring to my post on this in Micro-Limits (among other maybe).

I've now changed my tactic and table select weak-tight tables. VPIP-20/PFR-3 tables arent' that bad either.

I am guessing the advantage to selecting weak-tight tables is the fact they generally all fold before the $5/50c rake kicks in?

I agree the bad postflop play is beatable, but I would still think that even a truly great post-flop player would strugle to make a great deal (4BB/100 was very sustainable at the old tables).

I ran quite alot of simulations (attempting to take into account postflop action - unlike pokerstove) to work out effective 3-handed pre-flop stratergies for the killer rake at 0.5/1 and 1/2, and sadly came to the conclusion that the loss of the 50c at $5 meant that a great of blind plays were just pointless as you lost all your marginal profits from the $5/50c rake after a R/B/B/? line (but I did assume an agressive button and a fairly lose-passive BB - not weak tights who might fold their BB too much).

Then again, I tried some 6-max yesterday night, and it was quite strange to see one 30/5 , three 50+/0 and one 80/0 guy....

Yes, I would think that any player who has been turning a profit in the full-ring games will have already of played a great deal of "6max" without realizing bc of all the folding and would IMO be better off just playing 6max for the more juicy fish their are (this is what I eventually did and don't regret it now [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]).

Sorry for the OT stuff to anybody reading [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
