STT regs ?

Just wondering if anyone here is playing STT to any degree anymore.

Anyways a thread for chat could be fun if i decide to contiune playing them, have been playing 50/50's on pokerstars for a few hundred games and im half thinking of moving to them more full time.

I'm not at the moment, but I was before the Full Tilt shutdown and I'll probably be back to them if I ever get my bankroll back.

Pretty sure there's a few others that are still playing on Stars though.

I've been playing quite a few SNGs lately on a new party poker skin. Mostly just because their tournament schedule doesn't fit mine very well.

They are kind of a grind, very hard to maintain even a two digit ROI over the long term. I'd imagine 50/50's/DONs are even worse. The only saving grace is that you can play a lot more simultaneously, which is hard to do with MTTs.

No such thing. STT players stab themselves in the ankles too quickly to become regs imo.

I play quite some STT's when I want to get volume,

Yea, I remember playing STT's years ago and i almost pulled out my eyes by the time i was at the $33's. Heh, dont know why im doing it now again, nice change of pace though.

whats the difference between a 50/50 and a DON?

When I was younger I was an STD reg.. but not so much anymore.

The DONs have a flat payout structure but in the 50/50 the ITM positions get part of the prize as a ratio of their finishing stack, so these are a little bit closer to a regular SNG.

thanks pobe. i had a look at the info for them at PS, they look pretty interesting, might try a few out see how they go. you play them?

I regularly play STT's on Carbon and ACR (America's Card Room, was Doyles Room). I like the cheap 'Final Table Experience' games at ACR. .90+.09 and the 3.0+30's. Problem is they fill real slow most of the time. But since I won $10 via a DR freeroll, I have turned it into ~~$40 via those games.

The only MTT's I've played recently are freerolls, or games I wish I would not have at Carbon.

I know there is resistance to the Yatahay games, but as far as the software goes, I do like it, thinking it is top 5 of anything I can see, and top 3 of any site I can play. Attendance has picked up quite a bit since they advertised during the WSOP on TV.

More fish there than at Carbon...... PT3 works, but can not do auto seating, so I have to shift players around.

I have several hundred hands on many of the regs there, so, they must have that many on me, thus I guess I am a reg at ACR.

whats the new software like at ACR dj? Ive got an account at DR, but havent seen the new site.

Seems like pretty much the way to start for someone looking to build a roll. I'm about 350 games in and have moved up already.

lol is that in answer to my question to dj? Im confused

Sorry KD was in reference to post 10. A little tired today

yeah no probs, i wasnt sure. they look interesting.

Attractive table can do full wide screen, even pokerstars doesn't do that. It might take a while to figure things out as the table gears are a little different than the FT/Stars/Cereus 'standard.'

While it was still DR, the average attendance was low, like hovering around 1K most of the time (for reference Carbon was getting a little less than 10k. This number went up when ACR bought DR, to the 2-3K range. DR was primarily a ring site, I think ACR will be more tilted toward tourney's.

Load it up, my desktop icon still says Doyle's Room. It should update automatically.

Freeroll Fridays seems to have been institutionalized there, 16-20 per day, about an hour apart, otherwise there are only a few cheap freerolls there the rest of the week.

thanks dj. I didnt like DR's software, so hardly played there, but will go take a look at this site and see how it feels. Us non-US players have freedom of choice when it comes to poker sites, sorry to say to you US guys.

Due to bad play, bad BRM etc I totally screwed up and hardly have any BR left.
That made me start playing micro STT about a month ago.
After struggling a while I decided to stick to $ 1,50 turbo until hopefully my roll will allow me to get to higher stakes again.
However, I think that'll last a while because after playing about 350-400 of them I'm just slightly profitable at them, but I'm learning.
I see a lot of the same players again and again, so I make notes,colorcodes and analyze my game in PT3, where I already found some big leaks in my play.
So hopefully I'll get better at them and increase profit.
Last week I was nr 138 on the Mercury High-orbit board and hope to do better this week. Finishing high on that board could give the roll a boost.
Anyway, that's a bit my sory at this moment.
Gl all.

I have actually started them this past week on Carbon. I don't have the roll to play 10nl nor the patience to play 4nl so I am trying these to build up the bankroll to go back to cash.
I have found the $5 ones on Carbon similarly as soft as bodog.
I have only played about 10 so far but cashed in 8 and bubbled 2.
I do only play 1 at a time though.

Hard for me to remember, but I think the older old DR software was Cake? I still do not like cake. There was a short period (IIRC) where they were using old tires for software, and it was during that period DR lost lots of regs. It may have been in the first days of the move to Yatahay, and that software was about as good as old tires.........

From a purely ergonomic POV, the new Yatahay software is very nice, still a few ruff edges, but they are moving along well. Still takes a long time to fill even a STT, but being west coast, I sort have always expected that with any site with a limited player pool. When I start, 1/2 the poker players in the world are already done for the day.

Am I the only one who got this?

(Wait, no, I didnt get it, I "got" it... get it???)

I found pokerstars to hard to beat and any other sites - post BF - to hard to get the amount of tables I want filled in a reasonable amount of time.

I play FR now...

will join you soon mlb, and congrats!
yeah old DR software was horrid. will check the new stuff out, you couldnt do a scrrenshot of a table in play could you? if you get the time.
yeah I got it. bugger to clear up....................
yeah im fr-ing now, at stars, that where you are?

Haven't played in months, won't until the future of online poker is much, much clearer. But i still dabble in the 180 mans from time to time. Interested in discussion in the 50/50's, haven't played one yet, but i've heard they are good.

See the guy on 2p2 who played 24k 50/50's in a month. He got odds of about 3/1 to profit by the end of the bet. He dropped $16k after 10 days virtually gave up, then pulled it out the bag. Awesome!

link pls???

thanks Jag. will read now.

Once I figure out a good site for US players that has a lot of sit and go action, I'll probably be back at it again. I used to basically only do stts on full tilt. I liked the super turbos a lot, those were a lot of fun and didnt take much time!

Seen you in a few $3.50 50/50's today Jay, how are they going for you ?
