what's the theory behind FR tables over SH? higher percentage of hands that reach VPP i'm guessing?

Well, for one it would be hard for me to handle 12 SH games. Also I have more experience at FR. And you might be right about the %, but I'm not sure.

did you take into consideration that you get another vpp point when rake reaches $2 in 6-max, but not in full ring? they pile up a lot faster.

Well the second point at $3 should partially make up for that, right?

Sure I am down to race. I got 35k to go.

After finishing this run I am going to look at my stats and really start to question the integrity of online poker.

It really seems to me that the companies favor the fish to keep them afloat otherwise there would be no players left.

So far I have play about 70k hands on stars and the results are very unrealistic. I will allow another 80k hands to draw conclusion, but I know for certain once I reach nova status I will be playing minimum amount just to keep status and will be playing most of my poker live. Where my win rate is what it should be and the bad players lose like they are suppose to.

How come no other pros question the integrity of online poker.

Is it really realisitc that such good players have win rates of .45 per 100 ?

My win per 100 in live play is over 3 per 100.

You 8-table and live is a laugh compared to online. Winning 0.45 ptbb/100 online compared to 3 ptbb/100 live seems normal to me.

I've done 2.6 over 60k hands at NL100. And my first 20k were breakeven.

Could I make 15/100 live? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Almost certainly yes. Small stakes live NL is teh jopke.

because they aren't paranoid about such silly things and are smart enough to realize that if they aren't winning over the long-term they more likely have a flaw in their game.

No, that's not really THAT realistic for a good player.
So the next logical step is to question whether you are a good player.

The extremely obvious answer to this is that you clearly aren't as good as you thought.

The fact that you are going to seriously question the integrity of the site because you think the companies favor the fish is additional evidence of this along with your sub-standard win-rate.

It still boggles my mind to no end how so many so-so players just naturally assume that their lousy win-rate is the site's fault. Yet continue to assume that they are playing good poker.

Micro bob I never stated that I am the best poker player in the world.

But I do have such a higher win rate live compared to online. Now I know some of the reason is because I do not play as good when I am 8 tabling as good as I would play 1 single table. But I do see alot of very bad players online who seem to be winning players because I seem them on all 8 tables as well everyday and they are winning in my database. They are clearly bad players, but have been winning lately. ( only 10k hands date on most )

Given I was on slight tilt when I made that post as I was down about 230 bb in the last 3 sessions, which is why my WR had dropped so low.

Since making the post I have had 2 rediculously good days winning 150 bb. Which I also beleive is very unrealistic.

But as long as I see fish winning money I will always question the integrity of online poker. Which is why I will only play as high as 10 20 online now a days when I use to play 100 200. And I play the 40 80 thru 100 200 live with my win rate over 3 ( not over 3 at 1-2 )

I agree when you say I think I play better than I actually play, but i think that is true with most every player.

Anyhow I dont think I should complain, I make a great living even if I only do .25 per 100 online I would be happy just as long as the fish dont win most of the time.
