Because he is asking about who the fish were in a time frame that occured IN THE PAST.

one of my friends used to be a party poker fish. I remember he used to tell me his game plan. he would deposit 100 and hop in a $50 sng. if he lost this he would play like a $30 or a $20 or whatever (if he lost the $100 he would redeposit over and over).

After running the $100 up to like the $400-$600 range he would play 10-20 or 30-60 limit. I also remember watching him play a few times. He sucked balls, he would play totally loose passive and was a complete calling station. He would also pick terrible spots to play super aggressive every once in a while while on tilt.

I also remember him getting his roll up a little over 1k one time and hopping into the highest "step" sng's. it think it was a 1k buyin. he won that and was around a 10k BR or whatever and proceeded to play the 1k sng like 10 times in a row and went broke. Keep in mind he had no understanding for proper SNG strategy whatsoever.

I suppose most of the old party fishes were guys like my friend. degenerate kids in their low 20's with absolutely no regard for bankroll management and no desire to get better at the games they are playing.

I hear people say that a few years ago that partypoker a few years ago was like an ATM in terms of cash games. People who go all in with their 100BBs stacks preflop with AJo and call you down on the river with 1 pair.

I heard that this applied to mid limits like 400NL and 600NL. I even hear people say that 15/30 limit games were real soft.

My quesiton is who were these terrible players that play these kind of limits? I know that if it was just a casual player playing but played like a fish, he would play low limits like 50NL and under so he wouldnt lose that much. But what type of people were these? Are they people with regular jobs that pay 50K a year and just see the partypoker commercial and just decide to deposit 1000 dollars just to play 3/6NL and play very badly?

Because now anyone who plays 3/6NL is definitely a real good player. I do not feel that these so call fish are young players but more towards like the Chris Moneymaker kind of guys? Would the casual fish who played 15/30 limit holdem and 3/6NL back in the partypoker days fit the description of the lkes of a Chris Moneymaker? That's the kind of image i get because i cannot really picture young players being fish at 3/6NL and contining to play because the young people seem to study poker much more than anything else.

I can't tell you how much I miss '03-04 Party Poker No Limit Games. The highest they had was $200 NL, butyou could find tables where the average pot size was half a buy-in to three quarters of a buy-in.

[Ironic]

If American legislation changes so that poker is legalised or whatever will a flood of fresh fish appear?

I used to destroy 100 NL when 200 was the biggest buying, and I didn't have a clue how to play lol.

was only a low limit grinder back then..but it wasnt uncommon to have 8-10BI stacks most a lot of th etime at limits like 50nl
