Played 1/2 at a private game which is way higher than the online micro's I'm used to. I have played small Sit'n'go style games with friends in the past but this was the first time at "real" stakes.
To spoil the ending, I finished down a buyin, the friend I went with up 2, and confirmed that live players are indeed generally really bad. Even the good ones are weird. Anyway I had my friend on the left and basically the only player that looked good to his left. This put me in a miserable spot but hey, seemed like pretty bad etiquette to try and jostle for seats.
Also what is this live players obsession with straddling? Was nice accepting free money but playing with effective 40-50BB really fucked with my head. I'll adapt to this better next time and just make giant 12x or 14x raises over the limpers for easy flop shoves.
Anyway was a ton of fun and everyone at the table was really cool. 6 Hours went by much easier than an online grinding session. It's also insane just tipping the dealer and not paying casino rake. Def going back but it's just been bothering me whether I actually show profit with like 2-3 people better than me, some bad regs and some traditional fish. I hate being the fish and live bankrolls are hard.
I'm not the kind of guy to leave on naked women but I do want to leave this. Science Fiction can go fuck itself, Earth is so much cooler.

a tip for switching seats is saying you think you're having bad luck on your current one |

| Browsing through your hand histories makes me wonder that you might not be aware these games are possibly play money. Have you ever tried to cash out? - Kapol | |

what the heck is that creature? looks neat.
also live is easy; lots of players will tell you how they thought through hands and how they will play future hands if you engage them in any type of small talk. don't overcompensate too much with monster raises, because that is very easy to exploit. |

i don't know much about live poker.....but my friend i don't see anything wrong about having the 2 good players on your left, esp if one of them is your friend.....means you have all the fishes on your right, seems pretty sweet to me.
nice pics |

it depends on what kind of regs and fish they are, you want loose/aggro players to your right and nits to your left. |

This, nit regs to your left fish to your right ftw - I try to sit opposite side of the table to really good players, makes both your lives easier. |
