Great info teddy thank you. Agree that they are a great training ground for a lot of other forms of poker. Remember chadders and skaiwalker playing a bit back in the day.

What a boss colman is lol

Now you have explained it better it does seem the cartels forming were the only choice I guess and seems I will be leaving well alone...

Probably still play them at lower stakes, and 15s for fun and to help improve

Thanks again man

Hey Teddy, so seems you are a fan of the cartels then? Or Kinda? Seen as there is no real other option.

I know you said you can't play much, but are you playing these games somewhat often? How do you see them panning out over the next 12-24 months? I realise that is probably a tough question to answer.

Thing is I have been bobbing around a lot of different forms of poker and really want to stick with one and knuckle down. I have always liked mtts but can't really put in the hours, so these are good in that regard.

Also would be interested to hear more about the 1k games you were talking about.

Yeah the cartels are a joke. Low stakes right now people a still terrible, but I guess it seems pretty counter intuitive to spend a load of time getting better at them to just battle all the good guys...

Can confirm this is not Camel . Does anyone play these now? Stars seems to be only Russians and Ukrainians playing. I played some on sky poker which was soft but not great volume to be had.

Hey guys, not really looking for specific hand advice right now, although will likely put some up soon.

Just looking for anyone playing husng regularly. I used to play hypers on stars a few years back and done okay at after a few thousand games.

Kind of fell out of love with poker mainly due to changes in circumstances and all of stars changes.

Got the itch back again  which seems to constantly happen... played a few on stars again and people seem pretty terrible still at the lower levels at least. Also played a few on unibet where I would rather play but they're more like turbos rather than hyper with 1k start stack and 3 min levels.

Don't really know anybody in poker so trying to connect with others playing these games regularly who can talk few a few hands etc here and there.

Really good blog, feel like I keep finding good reads, getting to the end and realising nothing has been posted for months! :/

Was refreshing to see you have held off on the staking arrangements and going it out on your own. Any updates on how you're getting on?
