STTs are the rubbish

[ACE2M]

apologies if this was misconstrued as having a go at anyone who plays stts. I just wondered if anyone else had had the same problem as me.

There is of course money to be made and definate excitement especially if playing one at a time with decent buy ins, but 6 tabling trying to get a decent hourly rate from a proven strategy in order to earn moeny i find to just kill my enthusiam for the game.

I take your point, I've been there & done that, grinding away day after day, hour after hour, multi-tabling SNG's, but I look at it differently - my view is that it's a damn sight better than working! And given that it's almost risk-free, I can't think of a more gilt-edged way of making money, in or out of poker. OK, exciting it may not be, but handsome is as handsome does, eh?.....

I just don't like the multi table thing. I'd rather do 1 x $100 than 4 x $25.

Agreed - and whilst it may increase the variance it will also increase the enjoyment and reduce the sense of grinding.

I find that if I play 1 at a time I play the players, play poker if you will.

If I play 3 or 4 at once, it's just mechanical abc sort of stuff.

ah yes and "The answer will be mathematically correct every time"...the stuff might be mathematically correct but that doesn't mean it's the right play to make every time.

In a typical internet STT, I would say the mathematically correct play would be the right one to make every time, given how much these things come down to pure number crunching.

you're probably right..but I'm with Red on this one. I don't multi tabel 4x25$ games i play 1 100 game at a time and then playing the table becomes much more relevant IMO.

I find multi tabling them works better for me because it actually stops me making suicidal bluffs, poorly timed resteals etc.
ABC poker is the more profitable method (for me) in STT's.

I have never really got into STT's as I dont trust that some players are not playing together. However I have to agree with the earlier coment that PLO is now the best value cash game on most sites, Until a year ago I had never played unless I was bored after being busted out at a comp and sat down to play some cash in the casino and my method was to call all the way down and lay my cards face up at the end to see if the dealer pushed the pot my way LOL however now by some miricle I consider myself a better than average PLO player due to spending hours and hours online to the point that its now almost to easy to make what I call ridiculous money online on these tables as the Hold Em players venture into omaha and bet their flopped nut straight to the max onlt to leave skint.

r bigger chance of people working togter in cash games than in STTs where the ammount of money to be made is limited.

Wow!
