Gentlemen, and lentlemen. ( thats dudes who dress up as chicks. aka zach.)


Can anyone tell me, from their own experience, if the 1/2NL and 2/4NL games on Tilt, or Stars are decent?

here is why i ask, I find that as i loaded up a few bucks to get back into the swing, that the low limit tables are tight as shizz. Its almost as if 90% of players are highschool and college kids who realize too much about the game. Now they can be exploited, but not to my satisfaction.
I'm wondering if the higher limit games are just as tight, if not tighter? or do u find more donks getting excited with TPTK?

cheers

i just started playing NL again, and i run about 2x as good in terms of winrate on stars.

i overshove a lot, though, and it could just be that the texture of the tables on stars is more conducive to my style. i tend to get called a lot more often on stars than tilt.

I have no experience at the $1/$2 and $2/$4 NL games at either sites, but I just got some data from both sites, and Full Tilt has on average, a large pot size, and more players to the flop, than PokerStars. All the following stats were collected at 8:30pm EST tonight, only took data from full 9-player $1/$2 and $2/$4 NL.

Full Tilt
$2/$4- 11 Tables
Ave. pot: $71
Players to flop: 32%
Highest pot: $105, lowest: $38
Highest % flop: 45%, lowest: 23%

$1/$2- 34 Tables
Ave. pot: $28
Players to flop: 31%
Highest pot: $46, lowest: $12
Highest % flop: 49%, lowest: 21%

PokerStars
$2/$4- 10 Tables
Ave. pot: $57
Players to flop: 21%
Highest pot: $98, lowest: $16
Highest % flop: 35%, lowest: 14%

$1/$2- 41 Tables
Ave. pot: $24
Players to flop: 18%
Highest pot: $52, lowest $8
Highest % flop: 35%, lowest 9%

Hope this helps.

I have found that Full tilt is easier, especially if you have rakeback.

why is "highest pot" so low? or is that just the highest pot at that given time

Just the highest average pot of the tables I collected data on at that time.
If 5 pots are $50, $300, $15, $75, and $30, this would be an average pot size of $94.

id play on FTP if you can get rakeback.

but they are really lame about that now.

thus, stars.
