Anyone frequent Zone poker on Bovada? There's usually a $0.02/0.05 game with 50+ running 24hrs and also a $0.10/0.25 game with 50+ as well. The $0.05/0.10 level is only running at 50+ players during evenings and weekends when traffic is the heaviest.

How significant are the differences in the playing field at these three levels? Also, where do you think the 10NL players are when that level isn't running at 50+?

It may seem obvious, but I've found the players at the 25NL level to be more apt to respect raises and 3bets. The 5NL players are typically more loose and fishy. What do you all think about the 10NL level?

The fact that 10NL only runs at peak hours gives me mixed feelings about it. Is it populated mostly by casuals or does it become more populated by regulars that are 4 tabling Zone by sitting at two 10NL tables coupled with two 25NL or two 5NL? It's hard to tell.

Make notes on players when you see them at 10nl. Next time you see them at either 5nl or 25nl you will have your answer.

Little benefit by asking us to guess, when its pretty easy to track players by adding some simple notes.

No its called pointing out the bleeding obvious, but something you appear to have overooked.

If you want me to spell it out even clearer.

SOME OF THEM WILL PLAY 5NL SOME WILL PLAY 25NL AND SOME WILL OPEN 10NL TABLES WAITING FOR THEM TO FILL UP.

But unless you use your own initiative (ie take notes) you will not know which ones are which. If you are this apathetic with regards the rest of your training/learning then I dont hold out much hope for your poker career.

As an aside, you might want to avoid alienating other members on here who might otherwise help you on future threads.

I am calling attention to the fact that you have completely disregarded my entire topic to post your nonsense comment about taking notes.

This is Zone poker on Bovada.
a) Bovada is a completely anonymous network. Any notes I take are only good for that session. Once I leave, or the other player leaves, the notes are gone forever. I cannot compare "notes" that do not exist.

b) In Zone poker the players are constantly shuffled around and no notes will remain past each hand.

It is literally impossible to do what you are suggesting. You would know that if you had read the title of my post which clearly states Bovada, Zone Poker.

My point is...if you don't know what the conversation is about, please don't chime in with suggestions and information that are completely irrelevant.

I'm not trying to alienate you per se, but what you did was like me walking into a gas station to ask for directions to the nearest post office and have the clerk say, "Well there's a McDonald's right next door. Can't you see it?"

Kekule is the clueless one here! The notorious "Player 3" on Bovada has held over on me for years. This guy constantly changes his play style and I've seen him play as high as 10/20. I think he might of even won the 150k last week?

The fabled "Player 3." It must have been him that flopped a straight flush against me yesterday.
