Posted by CALICUL: I love games with 10 minutes blinds because you have more time and more chances to make the good decisions. With 3,4 or 5 minutes you have to play good cards or those interesting cards and risk more often. This strategy ruins and it's not good. I do not want to play like i run somewhere... 10 minutes is the best for me when i want to play for a few hours.
I was missing an interesting thread! What a qood discusse... I think that everyone have a suspicious feeling about the manipulating of online poker´s game, over all when we losted. When I win I think in my good luck, my good habilities, the friendly stage of the variance...but I don´t think that my oponents would be keeping in thinking of the random´s man! It´s like the paranoia with the hand of the Empire behind all of our unhappiness...that it´s true! But here you touch some interesting tips like the blinds changing´s time, and her relation with the profit of the poker´s room. Personally I miss how could be played 10 minutes blind, and I adjusted my playing for 3 or 5 minutes. Party Poker have tournaments with 6 or 8 minutes and it seems to me too long...6 or 7 hours to arrive to the heads up it´s too much!

Time difference in blind it matters a lot. I can not wait for better cards in turbo or hyper games. Practically they force the hands of the players to enter the pots with worse cards. I find this absurd when the prizes are great and blind is 3,4 or 5 minute. This is not okay.

as it seems to me dynamic tournaments should also be ... not to stretch the game for many hours and quickly determine the winners ... If you do not like this format of tournaments then at your disposal there are other tournaments with a lot of time and options for winning

I choose the accessible options because i can not play in these games just to lose money. It's very hard to be lucky and adopt a style of play under these conditions. I prefer to play snap & zoom cash than to run in turbo or hyper tournaments.

Well, I also prefer those tournaments, with blinds of 8 min or more. The hyper turbo I do not like, I play them just in case they are satellites, with deep stack. If it's short stack I do not even think about it. It's just to lose money. The turbo depends on how much is the initial stack, type of game (omaha, holdem) and the type of tournament (bounty or not).

hmmm ... probably my style of play is different from yours ... I when playing cash prefer that the process was fast ... for example if there is a game between the usual game of sitngo and sitbo turbo then I choose the turbo .... the result will be clear much faster and you can play further ... we are different people

I like the medium velocity. Four minutes is fine. I don´t like the first stage of the tournaments when you need to play only Premiuns and have to drop all the nice broadways and little pairs. I like the stage near the bubble, for steal and resteal, and push or fold situations. Like pajalnick said, we have different stiles of playing...

We definitely have another style to play poker. For example another things that i hate im is tables with 6 players or to play more tables at the same time. I can play 4 tables but more i can not because i do not know how other players work with the keyboard.

We agree in the minutes of the blinds, but not in the type of table, hehe. In my case I feel much more comfortable playing tables of 6 people. With 9 you have to be a little more careful, and choose your hands with caution. Even if the table is 9, I'm not complaining. But I prefer tables of 6. I think they get more out of it.

I do not have good concentration when playing fast tournaments. The chances of winning something are very small. I will try to avoid these tournaments as often as possible and when i do not have what i do i will play ( I refer to freerolls tournaments). Anyway each plays as he knows.

Yes CALICUL each plays as he knows ..and in the personal comfortable way of it! It´s a big true! Nobody could say that this or that are THE BEST. It´s only best for he. But one thing is true too: you could training every stile. Like ligador37 said, you could be more agresive in short table and playing with an open rank of hands. In full ring (9/10 players) you have to be careful and playing much more tight/agresive. You start playing in one table, but you could growing the complexity and add other tables little by little. This way, when you arrive to a winner stile, you can make more money in the same time. All stiles could be trained and...change is life!

It is very important to make money of course. That's why we were playing and we waste our precious time. Life can change for the better if you learn strategy and you choose the kind of games which you like the most for your skills. Let's learn and hope we will have success with these online games.

You are very right. If you are inconvenient when playing you are making many mistakes and that will cost you. Sometimes it happens to be nervous and to do a good game but in general you will not be able to win. Another problem is now you make money harder than in the past. Many players have learned the game rule and you have to move with more skills to win.

Certainly it is it! In the past I could was loose and won, but now you have to find the perfect blend of kind of playing in each stage to the game, and for each table´s stile. Is too demanding! Now you need to control the context, noise, temperature, etc., and be ready for plaing a really fight!

If you want to be good and take money out of Poker, it must be like that. That is, you have to have the ability to adapt your game to the environment, the type of game you are playing, the players you are facing, the stage of the tournament you are playing, etc. That is, you can not always be loose, or always be aggressive. You have to go through the different styles, because the game demands that.
