Default If your weekend STT results always seem to suffer, I think I know why

There has been speculation that performance on the weekends suffers because "great" players get to take a break from their high-paying jobs (they have high paying jobs because they're just so smart) and that we get a chance to play them on weekends, and they just pwn everyone.

The truth is: they're just bad nits. They play horribly and they're nits. The reason your results suffer is because they keep REFINANCING the shortstacks. For example, if shortstack that's almost out is BB, these people will always make simple min bets instead of RAISING or STAYING THE *** out of the hand, giving the shortstack a freeflop. After the flop, the shortstack will allin, and the weekend geniuses will pause, as if surprised by this move, and then fold. Rinse and repeat, and you get SNGs that are out of the money for 10 levels all night long. Shortstacks are always brought back to life.

What I'd like to know is: Are your weekend results better or worse than normal? Thanks.

Speculation by whom? I've never seen this speculation. My results are always MUCH better on the weekends and I always assumed this was the case for everyone.

Edit to add that when I saw this title I thought it'd be about failure to adjust to different conditions. That's what pokers all about.

If you want me to believe you. lol But I really don't care that much, I think this combined with the 'I just push/fold early' post you just made explains alot. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Mr. Qrawl, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

I don't understand. Spewing to short stacks is an irrational -EV move, why doesn't it make you more money since you can exploit it as a short stack?
