Tis a wise theory VA, confidence plays an almighty part of poker. In my previous example, I was singeling out a certain type of player that I've encountered alot on FT, they WILL call a flop bet (because most players today have read super system) with middle pair, but throw it away under turn pressure. The example wasn't meant to be a random $5 player, just seems FT has some slightly wised up fish.
Most other sites low stakes games are players who get dominated by a 'continuation bet'/'balance a few bluffs in' supersystem style play that is the basics of poker. The fold equity is huge, and when they catch a hand, it sticks out like a saw thumb. It's great, low variance! But FT has alot more aggresive players and alot more small-ball players testing the water which even though it seems like bad play, is actually losing less than the fore-mentioned players at other sites.
I think I mentioned in a previous post that after grindin a role up, i had to bank out for bills. Was so used to the higher games that when i started again from $200, it was a freakin nightmare! And this was on stars! Took me so long to get it going, and amount of bad beats was excruciating!! If you compared my play then to the last two months, sooooo much more discipline now, cos im not tilted 24/7 from badbeats and robotic ABC games, I definatley blame my bad runs on FT on this, i'd play brilliantly, it'd grind me down, then id make mistakes and blame it on bad players/beats.
Anyway, the biggest cash cow on low stake games is SNG's short-handed. Even the crap cash game players know they have to wait for a decent hand to get their money in, but in low/medium stake SNG's, anyone that has a copy of 'Harrington on tournys' can inhialate these games. There's a guy I play with on some high stake SNG's that is up $60,000 and i swear, he just sits there and waits for AA,KK,QQ,AK, it's so sick that this basic style is crushing pretty high buyin tournys, seriously, the SNG players are ridiculously soft compared to cash.I recommend.
But VA has a major point about your confidence on FT, good to hear you're done with it for that reason. As for multi-tabling, when I started grinding on stars in January, I broke even for 150 games playing 2x$10 SNG, I did the necessary 'rigged!' post, but I see alot of players not doing well cos they're multitabling to the extreme and losing quite an edge to it, me being one of them. I know your up on every other site but thought it might be useful info. Good luck grinding a new role! I recommend stars!
