NL5000 on stars. - Page 6

you should get good at shorthanded play if you want to make more money in the future at high stakes

bah about the 6max thing, its a totally weak and disappointing reason lee gives and i cry myself to sleep every day because stars is such an awesome site and i dont want to have to go play on pp/ub for my 6max needs but clearly have no choice. like im gonna stay on stars and 'help make the 9max nitfest stronger' l0l good one =[

I prefer full ring by far, and i like his reasoning, but not the implementation of it. there should be a few extra 3/6 tables. cap it at like 6. we can play 12 tables now, people have plenty of options.

Let us see how your theory applies to another subject:

I like american football, I am good at it. I suck at the following sports: baseball, soccer, frizbee golf, curling, underwater hockey, bochee.

By your advice I should be spending my time learning to play all the sports I suck at, and not the sport I am good at and enjoy. And I should continue this, until I am good at EVERY sport that I am not good at. There simply isn't enough time in the world to learn to excel at every one of your weaknesses.

I also suck at working a cash register. Should I quit my 50k a year job and go work at a cash register just because i suck at it??

In poker your not always going to be able to play what you want to play ( i.e no limit games are full and you need to play something else). That is why you need to be able to play 1 or 2 other poker games so you don't get totally stuck. Of course you want to play what you are best at but sometimes that doesn't work.

what makes you say that? its funny

So what's the verdict on the new tables?

It seems like a lot of new players are on PS now, and I'm just wondering if the quality has risen even higher? Are there any big names in disguise now grinding at PS?

Almost all of the names u don't recognize were already players on pokerstars that you would occasionally see in bigger tournaments, sngs, HU matches, on the 100/200 tables, etc.

some new people: Lifeisjust, carlos_dk, something jdoles (tom know who)

well most people here play mostly online, where this statement is beyond false. we'll play live for fun but if what we want to play isnt offered, we wont even go to the place to begin with.

This is more for live games. For online games, tables can be down for maintainence and shit. Then you need to play other games. Besides it doesn't hurt if you know how to play other games.

I think he missed his point, online games offer a far greater variety and you can pretty much find any game any stake you wish to play online. In live games you don't have that option, you have to play what the tables are set for, the wait lists are a lot longer usually so you have to be less picky if you want a game. Your argument is completely backwards.
