Guys
Who here has played the 1/2 game on stars and party?

I tried using the 1/2 game on stars to clear my bonus. I Started out on a -25bb swing, lost another 10-15BB's tilting out after back to back suckouts losing -10bb's. Started -50bbs. So after clawing back to a miracle -30bb's and then losing 8-10 more I ended it. (actually I cleared my bonus thats what stopped it) Needless to say I needed the majority of my bonus to cover my 1/2 play


Is the game THAT much tougher on stars vrs party?

Or am I just that unskilled in limit holdem (very possible)

I did notice very few hands on Stars went to the river, there was ALOT of folding on the flop and more check raising on stars.. Check the flop with top pair, check raise the turn.

More weak/tight players on Stars. Hence, weak/tight play loses value and TAgg play gains value as you have more fold equity until they figure out what you're doing to them.

mike - not to hijack your thread, but i'd really like to see some 6-max limit preflop hand recommendations {hint fnord hint toasty}.

i've been observing the party 1/2 limit 6-max, and it's friggin' wild! i've been afraid to jump in.
i hate what i have become to escape what i hated being...
