munkey, IMO there is absolutely no reason to play NL50 at FT when you have the option of playing on Party. Maybe I'm jaded by my FT downswing by the games are much much tougher there.

Full tilt didn't seem to have as many uberdonks as Party, so one adjustment that I've had to make which I really hadn't considered before is table selecting religiously. I know it's difficult when everyone's bad, but if you aren't at the table with one huge donk (like 50VPIP+) then leave and open up another one. The playerbase is big enough and bad enough that is should be pretty easy (The buddylist is an awesome tool for this too). I like to think that I've been the best player at the table for 80+% of my hands at Party, and there's no reason it shouldn't be higher.

Ye I'm starting to feel similar after my recent bad run @ FT. It took a while to start adjusting to playing uberdonks.
Downside is hand reading is a little tricky as I'm often surprised what I get shown but I am getting an awful lot of frequent flyer miles to valuetown [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I'm also starting to realise having the right types of players on both your left and right helps enormously - having 2 xlooseys on your left really shows up in your winnings -so when PAHUD kicks in after 20 or so hands/I sense I'm OOP I find another table.

Thanks for the buddylist tip - I need to start using this.
I asked kazana for a quick analysis of player types there and he usefully described the common species [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] which was mucho useful @ first as the hands go round alot faster and enabled me to categorise quickly with few reads.

Munkey... ya the lag drives me crazy... so many times it has disconnected too and always when I'm in the middle of a big pot... other than that what do you mean by changes?? in players? if so I haven't noticed much diff since the upgrade...

Nah, I haven't noticed much except an influx of players when the bonuses were given out, and just wondered if the annoying delay LAG was more likely to scare away fishies and the sharks would stay?

(And you playing alot would be more likely to notice those changes.)
