Official SSSH LC/NC Thread for October!

If any of you want to move $1k+ from Stars to Full Tilt, let me know.

[milesdyson]

so

i basically have

cut down

on poker

quite a bit.

mainly because

i am dreading clearing my pokerstars bonus

but now also because

absolutepoker scares me.

i have some faith though.

i don't believe, like others, that a full admission will lead to ap's demise.

also, i really hate reading through all these long ass threads trying to find important information.

[yourface]

maybe the AP games will get better with all the 2p2ers getting scared off

That's pretty hot.

Miles: Do we really need two RudeBoyOis?

Heisen: What are the unintuitive concepts? Hiding information by having your ranges include both draws and big hands and calling a lot in big pots seem pretty intuitive to me. Oh. And as Babycakes says: Be aggressive. Bee-Eee Aggressive. Young dumb punks eager to prove their virility default to wanton aggression and it works pretty well in shorthanded LHE.

Also. The skill it takes to beat 2/4 is about the same as NL200? Wow, why didn't I switch?

I dunno, my impression from 60k hands or so of NL 200 is that the players, even most of the regs, are just awful. I could be wrong though.

[waffle]

Because of the increased selection pressures upon the player pool, the NL games have gotten tougher just like the limit games have. Could it be that your inexperience is mistaking sound plays for awful ones? Or is it that the limit games are so dry that almost anything seems juicy in comparison?

[Wolfram]

Hey Jam.

Always fun to see another nolimidonk convert to the light side.

Why are you considering switching?

[Absolution]

I love how many 30/20/3 players there are a 0.5/1. It shows a complete lack of understand besides "shorthanded=aggro." Most of them are losing in my db unless they are running hot.

Also, poker is awesome:

How does playing 30/20 show a complete lack of understanding?
