Usually play 10p/20p up to 25p/50p with average results making a small profit. However tonight I decided to play two Master Cash tables at 5p/10p and I had forgotton how different it is playing at this level. Can you show Hand number 0460498435 which should give Ryan something to talk about. Posted by Ice_Tiger
Hi Ice what would you say are the differences between 5p/10p and higher levels, i am a struggling 2p/4p player and was just wondering how different it is at higher levels.

I would say that the standard picks up at 15p/30p or maybe that is my level.
2p/4p is fun and people call with anything. 5p/10p is the easiest to beat. Most players know a bit so play properly but can be beaten. Above this level, the standard is pretty good. Cbets don't win. In fact, you get three bet half the time. If you don't have notes on an opponent, you will probably lose.
re: the 73s hand, Advanced Metagame. If you stack off with 73s preflop in 1.4 k pots then in the 2k pots people will stack off with Ace high. Its a high variance play and not one i would neccessarily recommend, much like i wouldnt recommend 15-20 tabling for 6+ hours, makes you do crazy things! Posted by offshoot
I was joking^. i just misread what was going on after playing so many tables for so long. Was pretty gutting.

Players of a certain standard don't play below 15p/30p. I think you will find that 5p/10p is better to play because you don't get so many idiots. I know you want to be called by 83 when you raise with AA (as I did tonight & lost) but to be called by four players every time you raise is unreal. My son plays & has recently moved up to 5p/10p from 2p/4p and he is winning far more because players at least follow a pattern. If his AQ gets beaten, it is by AK rather than 94. It is realistic to win about £30 per night regularly playing four tables for three hours at this level.
I can relate to the " sighh ive lost a £100 quid pot, i could have bought ......", but i do it more with work hours. e.g Make £100 in an hour or 2, then go to work for 6 hours to earn half this money . sighhh (i hate my job).
Question for Scotty. When he became good, how old was he ? Did he have a job? And when did he quit ? , and if he did, what did his friends and family say when they knew he was quitting to play poker for a living.
Can Ryan give me help on closing out MTTs T've not been playing long but always seem to accumulate chips till Iget to the top 20 then it all goes wrong I try to play just premium hands but seeem to always get beat on the river What are the best ways to protect your stack?
Richard stop putting yourself down mate you are by far the best male presenter on 865 who else would be given 5 shows in a row (or is it that no one else would do them over the Christmas/new year period)? As for Ryan he makes a great apprentice to Tikay and he will do a great job when Tikay finally hangs up his Jackets.
My question for Ryan is what are his poker aims for 2012.
Evening Guys. Great views from beammeupscotty77 tonight.
Can I just pick up on the 'going for the win' debate.
Like Ryan says, it does matter about your BR & Tournament you are in. I managed to get a free entry, via the latest sky promoted football freerolls , into my only roller I have played. I was ONLY playing for the min cash and did slightly better which was a bonus.
My question on top of this is....I am more and more just playing for a min cash as I am going through a downswing. Is this really the wrong approach? or should I carry on doing this until my results improve?
Re: Min cashing debate - I recently got into the UKOPS ME on a freeroll (Won semi seat on the show and qualified), and before the tournament I was pretty nervous and was only thinking of trying to min cash. However, once I got into the tournament, and especially the later stages, I loosened up (maybe a bit too much) and although I didn't cash, I probably played better than I would've if I'd just played for a min cash.
