It's just so frustrating to sit there amongest all the incredibly loose dreadful play - to play well and tight for several hours - to get up $90 and then to hit these three hands within 30 minutes..


first I hit a set on flop (666), get all-in on turn with guy who has aces - yes 2 outer ace falls on river and I'm wiped..

on my other table I flop the nut flush and slowplay - 4th heart comes on end and the 2 guys ahead both go all in - I call - and my ace hi flush gets taken down by straight flush made on river ! - ok so I'm not wiped as he didn't cover me and I won't even pretend that I saw it.

2 hands later I limp with QJ OTB - get QJ x flop - on turn I am all-in vs a maniac's flush draw that lands ...

overall result $75 of winnnings wiped in 30 minutes... bah...

One thing about the Party tables is that while they are soft and juicy, you have to expect higher variance by playing in that type of a game. When I was playing the $25 and $50 NL tables on Party a few weeks ago, I experienced several sessions where I would go up big and lose it or vice versa. That's just the way it's gonna be when people are willing to pay absurd prices to draw out on you. In the long run, it will work out in favor of you, but I just couldn't handle playing with the fish (believe it or not) and so I moved back to playing at Stars, where the players are much more reasonable and thus a bit easier to play against.

Anyway, point to my ramble is, suck it up and move on .

I'd just earned my $100 bonus at the PS $50 tables (2k hands or so usually) and so was doing the old 'going back to Party - my god- how insane are these guys' routine... of course I know it evens out overall (and I was still up on the day) it's just frustrating as I was really focussed and had played well all day - even managing to lay a set down on the flop to a cheesy straight at one point - venitng here is just tilt management

I used to make until I realized...I am just going to make money against this type of play in the long run, in the short run, today, in the next 30 minutes...

It might just be me, but I never slowplay anything at Party $25 NL tables anymore...there is no point. There is mostly going to be some idiot to call you or there won't, but most of the time, there is a moron. About 25% of the time, I'm calling with a monster hand because I don't even get a lead...someone went all in before me!

Isn't Party Poker the best?
