WARNING This may/is going to be a long rambling post and I am not crying/griping/bitcaing etc.etc.
I also will be asking some GENERAL questions that will prob.,and understandably so, get only general,if any, responses.
Is anyone doing any good on Everleaf? I mean day in, day out, are you leaving the tables up? Of course some days will be better than others and occasionally you may be down a little but ONLY a little. For myself the answer is a resounding HELL NO.
The 2nl games there are maddening. The avg table vpip% stays around 50%. How do you cope with a table full of limper's,cold callers that will call practically any raise, within reason, with atc? And just let them catch any piece of the flop. I have played from extremely nitty to super loose and everything in between. I've been agg. as all get out and as passive as they come. Nothing and I mean nothing I do works.
I guess what I am asking is what is a firm starting strategy for a table with this kind of player/action?
I understand I have been told play hit or git,fit fold,mostly never bluff, etc. etc. but I swear I am always coming out with second best hand. PF and OTF it can be 75/25 and better my way and I'll be damned if I don't get beat one way or another.
An example would be yesterday in the span of 200ish hands I got stacked 3 times set over set. WTF do you do? Walk away? I really do not tilt often anymore,LOL, but situations such as these happen so regularly there for me it is almost a pain to sit down and play.Zero enjoyment and it just overall puts me in a bad mood.
I played at Merge tonight and looked at the 4nl tbls there. This is the lowest stake that Merge offers. For the most part the tbl vpip's were around 15%. IMO, this is "normal" but compare that to Everleaf.
I
am not saying this as a true statement but I am beginning to get the feeling that either there is a lot of collusion and/or a lot of sharing of hole cards info. somehow or another. Flame away at me for bringing this up and I just don't know what to say about the affiliation here except that I do know I am not saying anyone here is doing anything wrong. I just wanted to bring it up in case anyone else has gotten this feeling. That is the
only reason for bringing this up.
As I said, I played at Merge tonight. I don't want to jinx myself,LOL,but as a rule I always leave a winner there, playing whatever game or stake I choose to play. So what is the difference between the two sites? The one glaring diff is the tbl vpip. Another is,and maybe I am just reading the clients stats wrong?, is I always show the "Won Without S.D." stat as 0%.
I look at PT or my paperwork and except for the occasional blips that happen, and that I know why happened (tilt), I usually leave after 200ish hands up $5, and on up, playing 10nl at Merge. I never really played nl when FT was up so I can only judge between two sites.
Yes tonight was a good night, and is the exception not the rule, but when I left Merge to play the TT game after 332hands/2.5hrs I was up $27.40 You know if basically a person can sit and play a few hrs and for the most part always leave a minimum of +50bb they just can't be doing all that much wrong.
So again what can be so drastically different at Everleaf?
I suppose after all this rambling that that is what I am wondering?
For the doubters about my record on Merge playing 10nl I will post my graph if anyone requests it.
Right now I just figure this post is long enough.
If you have made it this far ,Thx for reading, and just maybe someone will be able to help me understand what I am doing wrong.
EDIT: Don't know why it won't let me correct the word bitcaing in the first sentence.
