Default Re: Monster tables

So basically what this business means is that they take our money and use some of it to buy us into Saturday tournaments which we don't want to play anyway, and some of it to fund a BB jackpot. This is absurdly lame.

I have been trying to move to 2/4 lately. If that sticks, I guess this isn't the end of the world, but man does it blow at 200NL and below...I am probably going to switch sites.

Why don't you just not play the Monster tables?

Okay, I'll see you there!

The 2 serious concerns is that our buddies will be on the monster tables (dead money will move there), and that all tables will be migrated to monster.

I've found prima pretty juicy, those scandanavians are pretty crazy!

Games are good up to 200NL, not many games above 400NL, also peak hours are opposite of party, but Prima is definitely something to consider.

You mean peak hours are at european time? Thats great news for me - havent ever played there before. Can you recommend a skin at prima? Do they have resizable tables? How about if i want to play about 6-8 tables - is that possible?

Europeans prefer sites with an EU licence (fx located in Gibraltar)

Any recommendations from anyone ?


I was thinking Eurobet perhaps, but I haven't made any homework

I did an exact study based on 15000 hands of 50NL. The basic result was a 30% decrease in win rate, and part of the thing at 50NL is when you steal (raise to 2), get called (called by 2), you have not reached rake yet, so a c-bet steal is not raked by the monster pot. So at 100NL, you WILL see a larger decrease, but I am not sure if the percentage is higher or not.

Maybe my random-ass-guess method of table selection has just been working out for me today, but I'm at NL100, and the tables seem waaaay juicier than usual. I'm regularly getting like 3 or 4 players to the flop in a raised pot. Sample size, blah blah blah, but I'm thinking this monster thing won't be as apocalyptic as some of you are making it out to be.
