Is it common for the US mornings/afternoon hours to be filled with TAGs from Europe everywhere? I had a tough time finding good tables at 1/2 this morning while skipping work with a hangover.

I love Stars during the day. At night, you have to show a hand to win.

The weak-passives let me steamroll the table, which helps since I play super-LAG.

That might be, but by far the best time is 2-7 AM EST, when the Russians, Euros, and especially Eastern Euros (and ESPECIALLY middle Eastern/Turkish), play. Holy Christ.

I have found that the best time to play is during the American afternoon. My general line of thinking though is that the more players there are, the more fish there are.

DrElo · #**324** 09-25-2007, 09:44 AM

Yeah that's probably a good time to play as well. I suppose the main thing to remember is not to play, if possible, from about 6-11:30 PM EST unless you want a bunch of TAGs at your table.

Hell yeah. 4 bet turn semi-bluffs with gutshots. Calling the river with 9 high. Capping pf with 22. And let's not even talk about what they do with flush draws. It's too freakin' scary.

Case in point (Standard Euro at this time):

PokerStars 0.50/1.00 Hold'em (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
4 folds, Hero raises, BB calls.

Flop: (4 SB) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets, BB raises, Hero 3-bets, BB caps, Hero calls.

Turn: (6 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, Hero calls.

River: (8 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 10 BB

Results in white below: 
Hero has Qc Ac (one pair, kings).
BB has 2c Jc (one pair, kings).
Outcome: Hero wins 10 BB.

This is completely accurate. Swingy, but very profitable.

Oh, and I still want to know what you guys think of me, DrArpadElo at Stars 3/6 to 10/20, (if anything at all) damn it . [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Despite playing as my main source of income I'm totally out of the loop.

First I heard of you was your previous post asking this question. Second I heard of you, there was only one table of $5/10 on Stars with empty seats. It had five empty seats and you were in the only non-empty seat. "Darn 2+2er there, no way I'm sitting. Logout."
