Re: Avatar excorcism
[ QUOTE ]
How big a difference is .25/.5 from say 2/4 in terms of play? Just a lot more aggressive? [/ QUOTE ] Way less donks, more skilled players and much more agressive.... Not sure about that jump, cause I started at 1/2.. But every single limit jump, theres a corresponding jump in agression... From my experience the toughest jump was from 3/6 to 5/10 because thats around the time you need to really start learning blind defense and blind attacking, because multiway pots and 70 VPIPS are much rarer. Easiest was surprisngly 5/10 to 10/20... Altho im still not good at dealing with a 10/20 table full of spew monkies that know how to play poker.. |

I really struggled with the jump from 3/6 to 5/10 for awhile. But once I figured it out I'm finding the jump to 10/20 to be relatively easy. |

Probably because there are fewer total maniacs at 5/10 on party (I don't know how to handle those guys). |

Re: Avatar excorcism
I have found that there are big jumps in skill now at the levels on Stars. It used to be that all games 2/4 and below were relatively similar, but I find that as you go from 0.25/0.5 to 2/4 you see big jumps in game toughness now.
I would say 0.25/0.5 and below is about how the old games play with lots of loose passives and spewy LAGS. 0.5/1 has a few thinking players and some more clueless TAGs and LAGs, but is still pretty soft in general. 1/2 is where I notice the games start to fill with more TAGs and 28/18/2 types. I have to start actually table selecting there. 2/4 seems actually decently tough now. I think table selection is important from here on up and sometimes there will be no good games going. |

[/ QUOTE ] Generally speaking, I think the 'jumps' correspond with the way Stars groups the tables - 5/10 and 10/20 play similarly now because people who play those games have their browser open to "Medium Stakes". It is my experience that there are far more LP-hopeless types at 3/6 than at 5/10, where the bad players tend to be 45/25 nutters. |
