Party Regs Thread

i think its unlikely fingerswinger. beating 200nl is mostly just game theory (as opposed to psychology). Just table select well and dont tilt.

has anybody played with Toeswinger enough to guess if he's a winning player at 200NL?

i feel like i'm running sick bad, but it lasts so long that i can't blame it solely on variance. probably i've become pretty weak-tight after a few downswings. i'm trying to fix this, but i keep running bad.

also a general question:
how likely is it, an intelligent person who plays a lot (about 2000 hands a day) and also spends a lot of time reading 2+2, watching cardrunners videos and just "working on his game" the last four monts is actually a losing player at 200NL?
(i've played poker before for about half a year at 25NL to 100NL, but not that intensively)

more info:



this is my graph since i played "seriously".
from hands 0 to 60,000 i played 20,000 hands at party 200NL and 20,000 at party 400NL, each with a winrate of 4.6 BB/100.

i've reviewed some sessions from that time, i had definitely a few leaks, made some very questionable plays sometimes. so if it was a 60,000 hands long heater, then it was a hell of a heater.
i feel like i'm clearly a better player now.

that first drop after 60,000 was just a very bad streak, but obviously i never recovered. i stepped down to 200NL when my bankroll shrunk too much.

would really appreciate your thoughts.

wow, thats rough man. I wish there was some advice i could give you other then the standard (dont tilt, table select, post hand etc..) I imagine you arent playing well because of the downswing. Maybe you're playing scared poker? Confidence is a big part of the game.

I think a good idea would be to post a video.

Jay, u obv sound like you are the next Bld, so wtf about u quit your [censored] whine about not being able to get more hands in than 15k/month. If you are as great as you think, why do you not spend more time at poker.

I am pretty mad at myself, for some reason on the weekend I tilted like never before. Like all in PF with QTo and stuff like that. Never really did that before. -9 buy in day it in part caused. Have to try not to do that again!! ugly!

Brownstone87 one of you guys? Seems pretty solid.

[Michaelson]

WTF is this? Probably 50% of the time when I close party I get this message then the program opens up again. I think, but I'm not sure, that my notes from those sessions are lost. Anyone else get this?

[BombayBadboy]

Michaelson, everybody seems to be having this problem.

You saw him at 200nl? I was playing 400nl with him a week or two ago I think. He didn't really seem that great to me, but solid for sure.

did anyone played against ulcera? saw him often at 200nl
