First, welcome to the forum!

. Just kidding, of course. LowKey, IMO, is one of the top 3/6 players I've played with. To give you an idea, my PT stats have him at +$1700 through 531 hands (27 BB/100). I'm sure that's somewhat inflated, but still... He plays 27/23 vs. my 34/17. That alone is a very telling difference, and one that I should probably adjust (JD and Boobie have numbers closer to his as well, I think).

Anyhoo, you make a good point about table selection, and that is STILL something I don't do well enough. I'm easily able to spot the weak player(s) at my table, but I'm not sure I'm choosing the best tables in the first place. At Full Tilt, the way I've been picking is looking through them and finding the tables with the shortest stacks - tables where 2-3 guys are sitting with half a buy in or so. I figure that screams weakness, so I target them. I haven't done any extensive datamining or that sort of thing, like you can do so much more easily on Party. Anyway, any other advice for table selection?

wow i do the exact opposite. i look for the bigger stacks unless i know them to be very good. i never want to sit at a table with a bunch of short stacks.

EDIT: we should probably all play 1 3/6 table and make each other better. . seriously - we could even say how much one person wins, they actually only get 1/2 of or sumthin. ya know?

That's not a bad idea at all. We could set up a Private table on Party and go all out against each other. Then in the end, the winner(s) could transfer back half of their winnings to the loser(s) to keep it friendlier.

Even without doing a save like that, we should all play together (at these limits). This would definitely be -EV for me though without the save, unless of course you factor in how much this could improve my game against other people.

I'd like to have at least 5 players to do this though... otherwise, it's a different game anyway.

me u boobie lowkey and mayhem?

[Zybomb]

I'll be a sixth if needed, if it could be done on a different site beside party

[Boobie Lover]

Lowkey and JD own me, but I'd be up for a private game.

[Talking Poker]

Yeah, and all three of you own me. Zy only has me by a little bit

The reason I suggested Party is because we could get a private table going there, but we could do it elsewhere on a non-private table. If we all join a new table right away, we should fill it up.

Man, LowKey is gonna love the goldmind that is us donkeys!

Honestly, I'll be interested to see how this plays out, because playing each other is going to be a lot different than playing the average table, ya know?
