The Party 10/20 game

[TimM]

I know a lot of us here are multi-tabling this game, and we all seem to be on downswings. I just wonder how much we are stepping on each others toes it. There aren't that many tables running and I often see many other TAGs at the table.

But we don't clash very often, and there are plenty of really bad fish too. Most of my session results hinge on a few big pots vs. the fish, and whether I make my draws or get outdrawn in those pots. Still I have to wonder, maybe we are depriving each other of multiway action or something?

Is this just a normal downswing paranoia? In November I got it bad enough to download a packet sniffer to see if there was any unusual outbound network traffic on my system while I was playing, and I was disappointed not to find anything!

There are times when every table is filled with TAGs. Some of the TAGs in these games I would hope are not 2+2 because they play really bad, but they get there.

Sometimes, like last night, every table is full of retarded fish just handing their money away, and even though sometimes I clash with a TAG or two, for the most part these fish are padding the pots nicely.

A lot of them play better than most 2p2ers think (but a lot of them are not good). Remember DERB? There isn't a set, perfect way to play.

Anyways, based from my experience in the 15/30 game I don't think the games are drying up. Lots of 2p2ers seem to be in downswings, but I'm not and almost all the regulars with most hands played (generally TAGs) this past month are not either.

I'm sure if we post a "how bad is your (month)" thread every month, they would get just as much activity as this month, and they would be mostly ignored by those doing well.

Hi guys, While the subject is here, would like to hear your ideas about my stat. 10/20 game looks like good to me after about 30.000 hands but i am not sure if i am running lucky or 30.000 hands is enough to make a comment that things are going good ? Any ideas will be appreciated so much.
Thanks

10/20 (6 max) 19.063 hands VPIP..27.76 won 7902.15 BB/100= 2.07

10/20 ( 9 or 10 ) 11.936 hands VPIP..17.64 won 3169.77 BB/100= 1.33

I'd also be interested in finding out if some people I suspect as being 2+2 are 2+2ers, but I don't think people want to give away their aliases, and I think it's frowned upon on these boards to discuss players by name.

I avoid the 2+2'ers simply because they vp tends to not be above 40, which is my standard opponent really

This is almost always the case, in my experience.

I don't mind if a few people here know my PP name, but I wouldn't want it posted.

there are alot of downswings and breakeven stretches this month it seems, and while im sure most of it is just poor variance i think the games are getting tougher and alot of winning players are no longer winners.

Speaking of only the 10/20, I haven't noticed a differnce in the gameplay from the past couple months and this month.
