I have never really played 2/4 so I'm not the best person to comment on the difference between levels but I'm assuming you have probably just found yourself up against some tough tables / opponents at 3/6. At Full Tilt there is plenty of bad players mixed in amongst some very good ones. I think table selection is just as important as anything else (once you get to be a competent player). If you are finding yourself at tables where you are uncomfortable or can't spot a weak player then you should probably look for another table.

TP, who cares about Poker Tracker. just switch to Bodog.
they are Bad.

and i dn i re-raise mainly only with good hands when its 6 person or higher, obviously that changes when im down to 2 or 3 ppl, where ill raise and re-raise with seriously anything depending on the opponent.

and i have never switched to a new limit and start off killing it. i always lose at first, not so much b/c of the better players, but b/c i start playin dumb thinkin im playin with alot more $. eventually i get used to it.

also, realize theres a huge diff between tournies and cash games. i have no idea why, but i feel like u might play cash games pretty similiar to the way u play tournies.

That's not it. I definitely play them a lot differently. But you're right in that I'm a much stronger tourney player than a cash game player.......... right now, anyway. I'm working on it.

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?

[JDMcNugent7]

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?

[Talking Poker]

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.

[Zybomb]

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