quality of the players in fitzwilliam card club??

poker991 · 20-09-2010 12:45AM #1

i've been playing with my friends for quite a while and i usually end up making money in our cash games...i also cashed in a freeroll online and won 125 dollars,im sick of playing low limit against either real tight or loose players who don't understand poker properly.The moves i make just go over there heads abd its too boring waiting for premium hands. I want to take about 100 to fitzwilliam and see how i do....i've never been and wondering what the quality of the players are like?

Dont bother and save your money.

Manage your bankroll. - To buy into a cash game you should have AT LEAST 25X the MAX buy-in for the game you buy into.

I know it's tempting but I wouldn't advise what you're thinking of doing.

I'll give you one piece of advice for fitz - bring an ipod.
As for quality of players - somewhat average but you should probably play in the jackpot/voodoo to start off. Full of young broke students who are scared sh!tless to lose their 50euro buyin. Again - bring your ipod.

You're not going to get very far with 100 I'm afraid, going to need a lot more than that even to play just 1/2 live and chances are the standard there is going to be a lot higher than playing with just your friends.

AstonMartin · 21-09-2010 03:46PM

Easiest way to explain this to you is to put it into football terms. you are the best player on your schoolboy team and because you seem so relatively good you think that you might be good enough to join a league of ireland team. the fact is league of ireland may not be a great league but you have only ever tested yourself on a school team and will not make the first team for a while. in poker terms, at a minimum play 20,000 hands of nl25 to see if you would stand a chance of beating the fitz cash game. anybody can think they are good at something if their competition is beyond bad.

poker991 · 21-09-2010 09:09PM

well seeing as you dont know the quality of the people i play with you cant really say its beyond bad,when it is actually quite good. We are still in school so we dont have money to play in big cash games...but the players i play with are good. Also i dont see how i could ''think im good'' when the competition is beyond bad,i outlasted 17,000 in the last mtt i played in

mdwexford · 21-09-2010 10:00PM

lol

AstonMartin · 21-09-2010 10:16PM

How do you know you and your friends are good? took me a while when i was starting out to realise i needed a huge amount of work and experience to even become average.

I was thinking of doing the same as you , But i think i would feel intimadated going in to a casino by myself. I think i am just too quiet and a shy type of person to go by myself. I could just see myself bottling it at the door and heading str8 back home . Perhaps if i knew when you were gonna give it a shot i could meet up with you . I think i would feel more comfortable if i knew there was someone else like me there and we could compare notes after . What do ya think ??

il play you heads up online over 5000 hands. Il give you 3:1 your 100 to my 300.
when you are spanked into oblivion then maybe you will put silly ideas such as going to the fitz out of your head.

the vast majority of players there are terrible but are rolled to take the swings so in the long (actually short term) you will go bust

ArmaniJeanss · 22-09-2010 04:40PM

Don't pay too much heed to the Serious Sids and Negative Ninnies with their talk of bankrolls and swings etc.

Go in and have a shot at a €1/€2 cash table with maybe €150 and see how you get on. If you know the handrankings, have a basic idea of the concept of position and the rudiments of betsizing then you'll be fine.
€150 isn't a lot, its just a couple of nights drinking/clubbing money if you crash and burn.

Depending on if you enjoy it and wish to continue, you can then get yourself properly rolled for it.

wyndham · 22-09-2010 04:45PM

You should try colossus/ the jackpot maybe.

This is excellent stuff imo.

Jesus Wept · 22-09-2010 09:23PM

Rake is too much, especially with all this cash leagues nonsense.
If you aren't going to qualify and play those leagues, don't bother imo.

FOLDnoSHOW · 23-09-2010 12:45PM

if you can tie your own shoelaces over 30% of the time, you can beat the fitz game

pokertalk · 24-09-2010 01:10AM

get 200 together and go in there play tite have a look and see what they are doing and get to know the tards at the table prob 6 outta the 9 and expect to loose your money that way you wont leave pissed off dont try and make any stubit rash moves just keep it basic and you will pick it up
.and if your cards hold up or ya get lucky ya have learned a lesson and got paid for it at the same time. or stick the 200 on red or black

DAMO72 · 24-09-2010 07:17AM

Classic thread , Play tite , no stubit moves . LOL

Dont listen to a thing from here anyone here. Take your hundred and find a nice girl of the night . At least this way you will get some pleasure for your money while your being fukked .

j10spades · 24-09-2010 08:05PM

i wish i had 100 euro :mad:

Dub13 · 25-09-2010 01:48PM

You may as well. You'll get a 1\2 nl or pl game. Sure see how you get on. The quality varies wildly and very much depends on the time you go at. Weekends bring the usual standard of drunk players but you'll get some people who can play too.

I didn't mean to be bankrolled, more from the pov that going to play live without a full buyin+rebuy at least, is just a waste of time.

Everybody here seems to be assuming you are talking cash games (which tbh you probably are).

If you like tournaments you will get a very good game there - great mix of loose, tight, aggressive, calling station, etc.

I find the cash games crazy **** to be honest. Straddle bets and nonsense loose action. Even with pot limit it can be pretty hair-raising and for a minimum buy-in of E50 I find it too steep. It sounds like you get 25X the big blind - which should be fine. However there's a straddle almost every hand so in reality its more like 10X the big blind.

Jesus :eek:

I'd be interested in their E25 game but that's far too cheap a game for people who go to play (who can regularly buy-in for something like E200!)

Why is it that on a poker thread most people's posts turn into instant spam?

Everyones an expert but they cant tell you why.

Thats a very broad statement , Would you care to elaborate on how you are better than all of us . You may well be good but you are certainly not better than me , and as far as that goes id say my labrador would beat you heads up.
Now please GTFO , this is a serious thread .
