Stars 5/10?
 
how is it? i just started 8 tabling 3/6 this past month to try hitting nova by the end of the year. Up a little over 3K in 18K hands. You can't datamine on stars so i was wondering if the jump is significant or if it is still loaded with loose passives and fishies like 3/6

Haven't played 3/6 for a while but 5/10 seems pretty good these days. Though if you play at the wrong (right?) time of day, Sethy will be at every table.

I also forget what 3/6 was like, but if IIRC , 5/10 was when I had to learn more HU and blind defense concepts..

Much more HU and less multiway pots...
After puting in 80k hands of 10/20, 5/10 seems pretty meh.

It turns out efficacy is at every table. And I cannot beat him.

Re: Stars 5/10?
 
compared to Absolute 3/6-5/10 games ? how is Stars 5/10?
for those that have played both fairly recently.I would think you could probably table select better on Stars and at least have more options.

I mainly use notes for table selection (plus recognising the names of some loved ones). Also occasionally use a program called Telescope that searches for buddies - rarely seems worth the effort as its a bit clumsy and it's fairly easy just to browse the tables.

Sethy's method is much simpler.

I just tried in vain to get a seat on ANY table that didn't have either chez, sethy, or efficacy at it. Haha horrible failure, why did I even try. I gave in and sat down anyway.

Well, that was a mistake. Played some of the worst poker of my career. Time to crack the books again...

(Amazing I was down only 10 bets by the end. Thank heavens there are dudes like the one who played the T9s hand I just posted in LC thread).
