Is it me or has their been a slight resurgence in LHE lately? [/ QUOTE ] I just looked on stars and saw that there were ~110k players online. This number is comparable to Party in it's heyday, so I was wondering how come there are only 6-8 tables of 15/30+ 6max going. If there are the same number of players online, what happened to all the midstakes action? Then I counted the 60ish 2/4 and 3/6 6max NL tables currently running. I think the trickle-up economy of limit holdem is still in a serious downturn. With only like 10 10/20 and 15/30 tables going at any given time, there aren't enough bad players that will run hot there, win a bunch, then move up. There used to be thousands of poor-playing regular lower mid-stakes players, and hundreds of them who ran hot for 3 or 4 weeks would go on to become losing 30/60+ players. I don't think there can possibly be any real resurgence unless you start seeing a shitton of soft lower-midstake games going 24/7. |

[/ QUOTE ] I think much of the problem is related to the demographics of the casual LHE player i.e. old-school US poker players, and that the legislation affected the dynamic of LHE (and stud etc.) much more than other games, particularly because the casual players are more likely to be techno-phobic and not willing to jump through hoops in order to deposit. I would expect that if the US legislated, then we would observer a resurgence in LHE. |

Re: November General Thread
Yeah, a ton of old-schoolers are technophobic indeed.
I know several old timers who love to play poker and are total fish but when I tell them I play on the internet they flip out asking questions like "how do you know it's fair?" "how do you know your money won't just disappear?" etc. I then explain to them that the poker rooms have a huge incentive to keep the games fair because of how much rake they're making and that if there were some indications that it isn't fair they'd lose a ton of revenue. Then the very next time it comes up they ask the exact same questions like I'd never addressed them before...senile bastards [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] -Bill |

Re: November General Thread
Hi guys,
I dont want to spam your general thread so feel free to tell me that I am not welcome with that kind of posts [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Anyway I am developing a software which can calculate EV of given strategies and I need beta testers for it. I would accept people who are : - math inclined - are posters here for some time In general the software can solve problems like : We have hand H, Villain has range X. We do bet/call flop and bet/3bet turn. He folds no pair no draw, raise any pair/any draw. On the turn he does X with hands Y, and X2 with hands Y2 etc etc. You can program any strategy and ask what is EV of that against any otehr given strategy. PM me if you are interested in that. Delete this post and PM me if I am not allowed to make such posts here (I emailed one admin but he never responded). Take care, punter |
