Random observations

[MicroBob]

I actually didn't think of that nit-angle that there really CAN'T be zero players to the flop, because when that happens there was no flop in th efirst place.

Okay, random observation since you asked for them:

Avatars that are a closeup pic of an eyeball are creepy. I usually block that image because it distracts me.

Stars must be really strict on sexy-girl avatars. Nothing even remotely close to NSFW-ish.

Also - Kind of interesting that 'nittyness' is used as an insult on an advantage-gambler website. Seems to me that it is a trait of many of the more successful poker players.

Final random observation - I don't think my observations are very interesting.

Random observation: I suspect Full Tilt exaggerate their players/flop percentages. How often do you join a table that has 40% VPIP only to find it's actually quite nitty? Do we know that sites actually measure these numbers accurately?

The see-flop numbers can get outdated quickly I think.

VP-90 player goes busto.
Wait-list has nothing but rocks waiting to get in and those are the players who will fill the seats.

The other aspect is short-handed tables. If it was 3 or 4 handed before then of course the VP is going to be higher. As the table fills with the rocks all seeing the fabulous see-flop 40% the table obviously is going to be a tight one.

"See-flop 40%" is practically telling you, "Rocks are lining-up to sit at this table.

Also, be aware that see-flop is different than VPIP.
If 1 limps and the big-blind checks and they see the flop then you have 2 players who 'see flop' but only 1 player on VPIP.

Observation:

Full Tilt's new fast tables make for some pretty good games playing 6 max NL.

I have seen several grinders get into trouble making fast bad decisions. If you catch one with a decent hand, you can pretty much get their stack since they can't keep up and generally don't have a clue what their opponents are up too.

And it doesn't matter if they play 12 tables, they can only delay the game for less than half a minute, and I love it that they get autofolded instead of automatically getting into the time bank. It is like them wearing a bright sign saying "I AM A MULTITABLING NIT AND I CAN'T KEEP UP. IF I PLAY BACK AT YOU I HAVE A REAL GOOD HAND AND IF YOURS IS BETTER I WILL GIVE YOU MY ENTIRE STACK"

Good job Full Tilt. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
