Whatever 1 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Welcome.I would suggest depositing money in a site like PokerStars that offers micro limits. (.01/.02) You shouldn't be playing the .50/$1 limits at Party Poker with only $50. Link to post Share on other sites

(.01/.02) You shouldn't be playing the .50/$1 limits at Party Poker with only $50.Listen to him, $50 is not nearly enough to play at Party because the lowest limit is .50/1.00 - 1 bad session will break you. Look for a site that has a decent deposit bonus and low limits. Link to post Share on other sites

Do you have any advice for me how to win all the time. Can you play more then 1 table or is it just 1. Do any pros play at this site if so what are their screenames.Ty Still LearningAs the others have mentioned, $50 is not enough of a bankroll to begin with at Party Poker, and even moreso for a newbie. Going for the micro limits at other sites might be a much better idea if you have not yet deposited.Reading up on Poker and gaining experience from playing often against different types of players, are really the best ways to get good at it. Sklansky's Small Stakes Hold Em is considered by many (here on this site)to be the premier poker book for beginners. It's a lot of math concepts, but well worth the read. There are no magic tips for how to win "all the time"... although I would say that downloading Poker Tracker ($55) and Gametime + (free add on) are very helpful in improving your win percentage. Although it might seem unnecessary when you are starting out, and just trying to get a feel for the game itself, I think over the long run it's incredibly beneficial software.Just a few thoughts.

GroT 0 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 just in case you are not convinced yet: $50 is NOT enough, play lower stakes ($0.05/$0.10 limit on pokerstars is ideal) Link to post Share on other sites
nolvicrudie 0 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 With $50, .05/.10 at Pokerstars is definitely the way to go. I started there to learn primarily starting hand requirements (see SSHE) and aggression. I have found that the .25/.50 Pokerstars game is much tighter and different, so be ready when you move up.I just started .50/1 at Party last night and I found the game much looser than .25/.50 or .50/1 at Pokerstars, but get your bankroll to 300 BB to handle the variance.Has anyone else had the same experience with Party? I couldn't believe how loose the game was! Was that just random or is that normal (i.e., calling to the river with A high or bottom pair on the flop) Link to post Share on other sites

obs 0 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 .5/1 at Party is crazy loose.1/2 is generally a different game altogether.Yea, all the crazy loose players at PP move to 1/2 6-max. 1/2 full is a rock garden. Link to post Share on other sites

What adjustments should I make to slap the 1/2 6-max game silly? Link to post Share on other sites

cdddc75 0 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 1/2 is only a rock garden compared to .5/1It's loose enough on nights/weekends. Finding a table above 23-25% VP$IP any other time has been hard to do lately.Don't want to sound like a whiner here...I just miss the 40% VP$IP days at .5/1! Link to post Share on other sites
akishore 0 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 if you guys want loose $1/2, three-table noble poker (max is three tables) and add one table of pacific. that does the trick.same for $2/4.also, golden palace poker has nice $1/2 and $2/4 games, too, but they really alternate between super-loose and rockish. oh, and golden palace poker is quite aggressive, in general. if you're out of position in a multiway flop, you will almost never get a free card if you check.aseem Link to post Share on other sites
nolvicrudie 0 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Is VP$IP the % of people to see the flop? I've seen a number of times posted but wasn't exactly sure what it meant. If so, how do you locate this on Party? On the main page of games, I only saw the number of players and the average pot. Link to post Share on other sites

Fnava621 0 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 wouldnt recommend it with 50( unless your nolimit game is good), but the party nl25 tables are super soft...check them out, I'll be waiting Link to post Share on other sites
