Plugging Away at Party
I’m back in Cambridge, but not back in classes yet, so plenty of time to plug away at my last Party bonus. But I’ve got some work to do, too, and a larger post will have to wait a little.
Suffice it to say: it’s been interesting adjusting to the a) plain dumb and loose, b) moderately dumb but mostly just passive (more like the Palms), and c) plain dumb and loose and aggressive games. It takes all kinds folks, and apparently Party Poker has given them a place to congregate. I didn’t quite believe everything I’d read about it, but, wow, it’s incredible to see the variety of bogus plays and suck outs, and the distance just a little tightness can go. I haven’t been winning that much, but I’ve been playing well overall – it’s certainly an easier field to combat. On the other hand, it’s been a tricky adjustment at times – there are so many people coming and going from tables, that it’s tough to get a feel for the individual players – I’ve been able to recognize the general tenor of the table, and I’ve been able to identify that guy who calls all the raises no matter what, or that guy who raised with decent hands, but not all the individual players.
