WTF is with WPEX 2/4 and 3/6 players??

[Allday Everyday]

So I've been playing quite a bit on WPEX poker. All the talk on the 2+2 internet forum and on the tables has been that the WPEX players are the best SS players on the net.

I believe they couldn't be further from the truth. Most players on that site are bad players. They aren't the classic 'calling station' bad players. They are more the 'cap while drawing, call and check with the second nuts' type bad players. I believe most tables are 30% good players, 20% fish, and 50% donkeys.

I am speaking purely of the 2/4 and 3/6 tables here. I've spent a bit of time at 5/10 and have to say play there is better - average internet games.

Rather embarrassingly, the last few weeks I haven't been making any money there. In fact, the last few weeks I have simply been haemoraging money at WPEX. Many of the beats I have taken are simply vomit-inducing. Most of the time I struggle to believe my own eyes. But I'm not here to bitch about that. I know full well poker players make money off other player's mistakes and, truth be known, I probably need to adapt my style of play for these unusual players.

I'm here to say this: It is my steadfast belief that WPEX 2/4 and 3/6 players are the single worst players on the internet. I think they are slightly worse than players at the other non poker-tracker friendly sites. Is anyone with me on this?

I know a site that has worse players (and no I'm not talking about party)

A little help on "c/c" please...don't see it in the glossary link.

Thanks to the guy who started (and then didn't get all pissy when criticized) and all who contributed to this thread. I've been scratching my head about what I've seen going on at these tables and these posts have helped me think through some adjustments.

check/call

it means to check, and call if someone bets

Thanks.

I got my ass handed to me at those games this Summer too and have moved on for now. Bad beats? Good Lord...enough for me to get me foil cap out.

I love the rakefree model but those games got the best of me. I'll get back to the 2/4 game there at some point but now I need to recoup a bit.

You can say that again. You can say it fifty thousand times again.

Would you mind saying this fifty thousand times again too? The beats there can be legitimately soul destroying. The variance off the charts.

I think the WPX games are tougher than your normal games on party or wherever. The players are very aggressive, and aggression masks alot of other flaws. And I think the standard, 2+2 TAG style doesn't really work all that well against the hyperaggressive, semi-thinking Swedish LAGs you find on WPEX. One thing I've been doing more and more is using calling as a weapon. Just let these monkeys bet again and again into your TPGK.

mjkidd I agree with what you said as long you meant BPBK instead of TPGK.
