The deal with Noble Poker

[Zybomb]

Ok so I decided to venture out of my Party Poker, True Poker, Poker Stars bubble and take TP up on his generous Noble offer (Yea I know Geoff Ive been missing out on $505,450,804 in bonus money )

Made my maximum deposit today, and took a look at some of the tables

1st-- jesus its impossible to get a 10 person table going (maybe it was just a bad time) but the only tables 1/2 - 3/6 (NL) with any players was the 6 max tables.... Im far from a 6 max expert (although the play isnt adjusted *that* much) but I sat down at a 1/2 table 6 max.

2nd-- the gameplay was sooooooooo slow. Maybe I just need to get used to it, but the characters pissed me off (and Ive played True Poker before so Im used to characters), and the reaction time for the server was just slow. The little extra 2 seconds for you to be able to see your cards, combined with the extra second to register a players action, combined with overall slow play was enough to frustrate me.

3rd -- The players (at least all the ones that went through my table during the hour that I played) were all HORRIBLE, I mean horrible. Classic weak tight players, check-calling the whole way, minimum raises preflop (although mostly calls), leading out into the raiser when they hit something, hardly ever making any moves, folding strong hands to aggressive play etc. Through pure aggression (I didn't catch SHIT) I came up $93 dollars in the 50 or so minutes I played at the table. I won 20 pots, 19 out of 20 without a showdown (around 2/3rds of which of which I won with continuation bets, or in some cases a double continuation bet after a flop call)

4th-- This is just from the table I played at (but there were about 12-15 different players that came through during this hour) but it seemed to be the definition of grinding it out...(this is 1/2 tables only) pots were generally very small, most of the money I came up was from picking up tiny pots here and there.

The only decent pot I won was when I had JJ (one of the only real hands I picked up this session besides AKs TWICE in the BB and it was folded around both times!) Flop comes 4,10,K. He checks, I continuation bet/value bet whichever you want to call it depending how much you think you are ahead or behind. He calls, the turn brings another King, he checks, and I fire once again (this time more value bet). He calls again. I put him on a ten here (which he had), But after his river check, I still check back to be safe. This was The biggest pot I won (something like 35-40 buck net)

Bottom line is theres a lot Im not used to -- but Im gunna grind all 800 of this bonus out (hopefully) So I better get used to it. But there are +'s.... definately the weakest players I have ever seen thus far at 1/2 NL tables

So if anyone cared theres the deal with Noble
