I've got to come up with a different strategy. In other fourm tournaments with a majority of good (sane) players i can hold my own. But that style of playing doesn't work here. Seems no hand is a good hand to play against the kind of players playing here now. Of course these same players are the ones you would love to run up against in a cash game. So I'll continue to serach to figure out what works now. See y'all on the felt.
I have been failing as well wagon, I think a factor also, is there are alot more players and the blinds are only 8 min which tosses it into turbo mode rather quickly.
I have not come up with a good strategy as of yet for them and am just considering not playing them anymore, they tilt me now a days.
ya too many donkeys get rewarded
the players are idiots however i have played on other sites and compared to them the players here are like stephen fucking hawkin which worries me, u just gotta hold ya own and stick to your play and it will pay off..i hope
Yup! That's why I haven't been at the tables lately. Turned me off of poker for a bit, but I'll be back.Quote:

You have to use your points which most of us use our valuable time to gather, so its not a complete freeroll! I think it is a total shame that there are some out there that are completely taking the fun and the skill out of the game!
I hear ya allheart, best you can do is be little more cautious in the first 30-45mins of play. And definitely Tag (label) everyone you play, you'll surely see them next PO Freeroll.
For Example, Do this... it helps me so much!
Modify your "Player Tags" under Settings > Tag Settings:
[green checkmark]
(T) Tight
[red x]
(L) Loose
[crowns]
(TAG) Tight Aggressive
(TP) Tight Passive
[chips]
(LP) Loose-Passive
(LAG) Loose-Aggressive
and of course... keep that "Fish" tag
The only time poker is not for fun, is HU.
I look at MTT tourneys or ones with more than 2 ppl as donkathons are purely for fun. The only time you'll truly be tested is 1v1 since some random person can't all of a sudden call with 3-4os coz they're bored.
Since the tourneys are turbos, it's best to play kind of fast.
Havent played many of the PO freerolls the past 2 month or so, but you are right wagon, style of play has changed.
It's a lot easier in the juicy tourneys to just keep your head down and nut peddle until the bubble.
best is very TAG strategy. if you have premium hands you should win nice pot ;)
i like PO tournir in pokerstars... it is a little prize but the game with players is good... i think it doesn`t have many fishes... just 3 4 guys, but excep tthat i like the way of game :)
I play TAG till the FT and than shift to a LAG position and calling range much wider.
Other day I was playing and down to 2 tables and one dude was raising everyhand or pushing/calling every all in. I get KK and all like YES time to double up with 13 left. Dude snaps with 24 os AIPF and flop comes down 447. I go out 13th and just had to smile and refill my glass with more Whiskey
dont do coin flips and you will see how much better u do and less frustrated u will be.
i got new steat for PO games its called reraise all in
I agree with you, but I think the tournament does tighten up after the first hour.Quote:

The PokerStars PO freeroll play has improved considerably now that the Romanians have been blocked. I'm sure there were one or two who were innocent victims of the PW leak, however they also were in the best position to help put a stop to it and did nothing.
Hey wagon do you want to reveal your new PO strategy to me, so that I can beat you on the felt??? :)
Yeah, i havent been playing either, for a few different reasons but nonetheless. I think 3 games the past 2 or 3 weeks but each time i remember y i dont miss playing poker like i used to miss playing it when i was grindin. or even when i was playin the FRs here when i was playing daily. Between gettin points n playin against ppl who play like theyre playin limit(just figured that out during the 1st level of the HORSE FR) its almost not worth the time.
FIRST I am ASSUMING you are talking about carbon freerolls. Sorry if wrong(thats all I can play)If so there are always the SAME players in, so take notes!
i try and be patient wait for good cards, i cant change stragty and wont. it works for me.
