First Winning Session of 3/6!

[PShabi]

To answer your first question: To make more money!

Also, that 2k month wasn't every month. Just that month in particular.

In my short experience in 3/6, I've noticed some really tight play. Yesterday, 7 out of 9 peoople I was playing against were seeing the flop 15% of the time or less. You just don't see this on 2/4, ever.

Ultra-aggressive is the way to play in these games. I saw a guy yesterday, who was just going nuts, raising and reraising with anything, ANYTHING, pre and post flop. He was getting people out and showing Q6 os with no pairs and shit. Finally, one guy got pissed and played him to the river with anything. Basically, he paid for information for the rest of us.

The Maniac was up close to $400 in two hours playing at this table. He did pay me off however. I almost made a post late last night while playing so some of you could take a look at this guy. Craziest player I've ever seen.

While I'm not saying his play would be a winner in the long run, (it won't) it showed me what can be done with aggressive play against a tight table at these levels. I loosened up, started making some middle position raises with middle pairs, or even QJos at the right times and was able to steal the blinds a lot, which can add up.

Much tighter play at this level.

See, this is exactly why I stick to the lower limits. Tighter table = less money IMO. Playing at $1/2, everyone was taking flops and when I was button with a decent hand I was raising and re-raising constantly. I was also more focused on buying real estate by raising in late position and stealing the button. That would also open up the opportunity for a free card post-flop if I didn't hit. I wish I always had that mindset at the table, but sometimes I still get brain cramps. I guess I should just be content making decent money, but you're right, you always want to make more I guess. Human nature.

I have found that the 3/6 games at the Bad Beat Jackpot tables at Party Poker stay somewhat looser than other 3/6 games. I have had limited sessions on those, so maybe i need a bigger sampler size. Anyone else seeing this trend? I am pretty sure i have read posts on here that people feel that the BBJ tables are looser in general.

[GeoffM]

I haven't even played those tables and I can tell you that you're absolutely correct. Everyone thinks they can win the lottery, and that would be why. When it gets real high people will play any 2 cards down that give them a shot at the bad beat. I just wish I played hold'em, or they made the same type of table for O8.

[omahilo]

yes I wish they had 2/4 or 2/6 BBJ tables for O8 lol... damn that would be amazing! everyone would see the flop with 4 cards and play it to the river.

[eddo31]

the bad beat tables for o8 would be ridiculous.

of course, party would raise the bad beat requirements, but i could deal with that. they would probably make it something like quad aces or better losing. hopefully that wouldnt change the fishies style of play too much.

3/6 Party, not bad beat. I may look at those tonight though.

At my B&M they have a bad beat jackpot for hold'em and omaha.

Hold 'em is Aces full of Jacks or better getting beat.

The requirement for Omaha is Quad 8s or better.

[GeoffM]

Yes, I think the only thing is they would have a seperate meter on PP for hold'em and O8B. No need to make the requirements any higher or we'd be talking about a big jackpot eventually, but if they just made the O8B jackpot a bit smaller I'm sure it would work. The game is very popular on PP as far as I saw so maybe it will be in the works, and I'm just licking my chops thinking of the possiblities.

they all think like my wife does, hey there are 2 ways to win but dont realize hey there is also 1 ways to lose. For any good omaha h/l player its a goldmine and easy picking.
