U.S. micro players needn't worry about not being able to play on Party. Been playing a fair bit of NL50 on Stars recently, and have to say it's a fair bit softer than the same limit on Party, where 3-betting from the blinds seems the new craze. Anyone else notice this? Is it the same at NL100?

Also, gotta love this guy, I think he missed some value here...

Hero said, "XXX - the raise button is the one on the right"

XXX said, "I raise, he folds Q9, I win nothing!!!"

Hero said, "OK"


Even better was that 5 minutes prior the SB had called a river raise from BB with TP worst kicker on a paired, flushed board.
