I just recently began playing on Pokerstars, and soon noticed some big
differences between them and players on Full Tilt.
FTP players are much tighter, and IMO, tougher.
One example:
Pstars sit-n-go early rounds.
I have A-J, ep, one preflop caller.
Flop is J-8-2.
I bet strong, opponent calls.
Turn is blank, but I check, opponent checks. Is he trapping with a
set? No strong draws are apparent, maybe an inside str8 draw?
River is a blank, I feel strong, bet pot, opponent calls. Oh crap.
He must have made bottom two pair, something like that along the way?
Nope. He's got 10 high. Nothing. Zip. Not even a pair. He called
anyway. I take the chip lead.
Later, I stupidly lose most of my chips in a couple of bluffs, to
second or third pair, with scare cards aplenty, but nobody got
scared.
Then it hits me. 10 high calls in this game. Nobody folds (well,
almost).
Play tight, make the money, I finish in third, getting sucked out when
I hold pkt AA, but lesson learned.
Since I'm still new to PS, I can't say that my experience so far is
predictive, but I'm running into a lot of weak players on PS.
Anyone else?
