I played with you a bit tonight. You won more off the 2 monkeys at our table than I did. I don't have any notes of consequence on you, although i did see you move to calldown mode really quickly a couple times.

At least you aren't sethypoo who hit and ran a table i was at. blah blah something about a grease fire.....

I would also like to see some (pokerpattern) charts.

I looked up most of the names posted here in my large datam*** database and almost everyone has incredible swings and about anyone beats the game (2-4 to 5-10) for 2BB/100.

for example a player named a few pages before for beeing pretty good and some 2+2 said they try to avoid him (I think he hasnt revield himself or hes not on 2+2) dropped 500BB over 2 months on 5-10 but beats 3-6 pretty good.

other example:
noone who playes at least 10k hands beats 5-10 for 1BB/100


so I am not sure if you can beat low limit short handed at stars in the long run...


... please prove me wrong.

So the only reason people play 5/10 is to hopefully do a little better than break even and collect VPP? You can collect them just about as good at 3/6 from what I've seen and the table selection seems better (and 2BB/100 at 3/6 is better than 0.5/100 at 5/10 obviously.) Miles beat the game for over 2BB/100 though over I think ~30K hands a couple months ago if I remember his NC thread correctly.

I played with Kid Canepa, who was mentioned earlier, at 3/6 the one time I took a shot there and he cold called my UTG raise when I was unknown to him. He then raised a K high flop, which I 3-bet and he eventually folded on the turn when I led out. I can't think of a hand that he should play this way, but I'm guessing it's KQo.

5/10 might be that pivot level where the rake is still too high and the game selection isn't good enough. Below that the rake is significant, but the game selection is good. Above that the game selection isn't good, but the rake is small.

Average rake at $5/10 on Stars is something like 2.3BB/100. This compares favourably with other sites e.g. 2.8 on Crypto and 2.7 on Full Tilt.

What to think about advice like:
-You should play more hands playing at higher limits because the rake is smaller (blind battles)

2.3BB/100at $5/$10, it's more than the 2.0 at $1-$2! However, you sometimes receive more than one VPP per raked hand.

Stars Regular:
k345 plays at $5-$10 and $1-$2 simultaneously, but don't seem to play at 2-4 and 3-6. Strange!
