I think they are beatable, but I have to work on my strategy, currently I play super-super tight in the early rounds where you can't win much by stealing the blinds, whats the point in raising 100 with 10-10, if you get everyone to fold you pick up 25 chips which will not help you much, if at all in the long run, if you get called what do you do when an ovecard falls and you get bet into? Folding at that point really hurts you as you have given up 100 of a beginning stack of 800 (party), and that puts you behind from the go. So like I said I think ultra tight is the way to go since you can't really win much early, but you can lose way too much, the risk/reward factor just isn't there. Having said that I know I am having trouble knowing when to change modes as I am rarely in a position to have alot of chips when it get to 5-6 people left and find that 1 mistake usually ends my chances of cashing. I think the super tight strategy works simply because I have seen people on disconnect finsh 4th alot and in 2 occasions they finished 2nd and 3rd, now obviously that won't work as a strategy in every game, but it's worth noting.
I would like to hear how you guys who are sucessful at theses games so it.
