Tribeca 400NL

pok3rplaya

Could someone please provide me with a comparison between Party 400NL+ and Tribeca 400NL+? I mean in terms of fishiness.

Whats bodog like?

I don't play on Tribeca, but Bodog is probably as fishy, if not a little fishier than Party. They don't allow PokerTracker, or at least their hand histories cannot be imported to PT, so there will likely be less PT users and more casual players. I was playing NL100 and NL200 though.

Best thing to do is probably to d/l the software and spend a while watching.

There's no point playing on Party now anyway unless you play 5/10 and higher due to the Monster promotion's extra rake. I'm back on Tribeca now and I'm finding it a good bit softer than Party at 2/4 and 3/6. Party is more aggressive so you have to be a bit more aggressive yourself or you'll get run over. I've tightened up again since I've been back after finding my bluffs weren't working and remembering the key to winning on this network - people can't fold sh*t.

Do you mean the rake has actually gone uo throughout the entire party network because of this monster promotion and not just on selected tables? If so yeah that is bad news for playing on party.

It's an extra .50 rake regardless of level once the pot is $5+ and it's going to be like that for the next 11 months. About 80% of the tables are now "Monster" tables, and the usual regular games are full of rake aware decent players so they're crap. It's a total joke, they put the monster games tab above the cash games tab so thats the first one the fish will go for, never mind that they also put them in the cash games tab. The game is probably unbeatable at .50/1 now and you take a decreasing pay cut as you rise up the levels.

I've just had a look at the normal party rake structure, it seems quite high and this is not even taking into account this additional monster rake or is this the norm :- http://www.partypoker.com/how_to_play/using_our_software/rake_and_blind.html

I'm going to have a quick look at a few others if I can find the urls, meanwhile anybody any thoughts on this? - I mean I've paid out $10K the last 8 months on rake - I get rakeback on 1 of these sites but still it's a huge amount of money.

Yeah the more I look at this monster thing - the more i think what a load of BS - I mean even the weekly tournament is on at 9 pm irish time :- and no doubt it will go onto about 2 a.m. once again top consideration on party goes to american players and us europeans are at best an afterthought - not so bad for single guys maybe but for married guys like me it's a real sh1tty time - i hope this backfires big time on party - I'm defo not playing on any of these monster tables anyways.

Just have ahd a quick look trhough paddypower's rake and after a 10 minute glance through it defo seems better.

No it's just on selected tables. Thing is, nearly all the tables of some limits are turned into Monster tables. And plus, all the rake adverse players (aka the good players and pros) are populating the regular tables.

This Monster thing is aqctually cutting my winrate in half if I play at only monster tables. I only made 2 ptBB/100 8 tabling 400NL anyway so this is a big problem for me.

What I do is bounce aronud the tribeca skins for various signup bonuses. The managers at each site seem happy to let you do this. Doyles room has 110% signup bonus up to $660 (and free SS2 book) where you have to get 132000action points no time limit. If you get 150k+ points in the 1st 3 months you can also get $100 back per 100k points aswell (you can use points gained for the bonus). Info here. I think VC hae a similar deal. Golden palace have 50% dignup deal (deposit 500 max and get 250) where you only have to get 32000 points - slightly quicker/$ to clear. I think these deals are better deals than usual RB deals as you are getting something like 80% rb.

Only 4 tables / client. If you open 2 accounts on different skins you can open them both up. It tells you here at the bottom of the page how to do this.

No PAHud yet afaik. I'm told its in the works. GameTime+ is the only option.

:eek: This means I could sit at the same table twice no? This is most likely highly illegal then.

Not in a cash game or SNG, they check IPs. could happen in an MTT.

the cash games on tribeca are really really tough
2/4 nl tribeca is probably the hardest limit on the internet
you should just stay away
play on party or something
