Playing limit on Stars

Smart Euro players don't play on Stars and FullTilt. They don't have good bonuses, rakeback and the competition is tough compared to other available networks/poker rooms. That's why I never played on Stars again after clearing the signup bonus. But this month, I decided to come back and try to earn FPPs while playing 0.25/0.5 shorthanded limit when there is no action on Microgaming network or the tables are not good enough. I knew it won't be easy to achieve even SilverStar and it would probably be a waste of time but I gave it a try and here are the results from the 5 days of playing 0.25/0.5 between 4 and 9 tables at the same time (MT ratio 5.4).


I did some calculations and comparisons and it looks like my current win rate of +9.4 BB/100 is equivalent to a win rate of roughly +0.94 BB/100 on 5/10 6max (in order to make the same amount of money like I did on 0.25/0.5). If I was playing 5/10, I assumed I would never play more than 3 tables at the same time so I wouldn't have played 4k hands in the same time but only 2k.

I know, 4k hands is a small sample, I could be on a heater, etc. Results are great, so let's hope I can keep the current win rate and become a Stars regular.

Flopped quads

One interesting hand from today's session:

€0.50/€1 Limit Holdem
6 Players

Pre-flop: (1.5 SB, 6 players) Hero is CO 8 8
UTG raises, 1 fold, Hero 3-bets, 2 folds, BB 4-bets, UTG calls, Hero calls

Flop: 8 8 A (12.5 SB, 3 players)
BB bets, UTG raises, Hero 3-bets, BB calls, UTG 4-bets, Hero calls, BB calls

Turn: J (12.2 BB, 3 players)
BB checks, UTG bets and is all-in, Hero calls, BB calls

River: T (15.1 BB, 3 players, 1 all-in)
BB bets, Hero raises, BB 3-bets, Hero 4-bets, BB calls

Final Pot: 23.1 BB
UTG shows: 2 2
Hero shows: 8 8
BB shows: 10 10

In a 300h session today, I'm losing with full house, straight and three of a kind, I had only 1 flush and I still managed to win 35 BBs. I love this game!!

More graphs

Here is the PT graph from the period I mentioned yesterday, since october 16th. I've been playing on Prima network forever but I never had a nice upswing like this one.

Some interesting stats from the entire Prima/Microgaming sample, 26.3k hands:
Hit flop with pair: 1 in 9.6 (only when saw flop; should be 1 in 8.5)
Hit flop with 22-55: 1 in 11.9 (or 17 in 202)
Dealt AA: 104 (I've got dealt only 1 pair less times than AA, it was 22, dealt 103 times; should be 119)
Dealt KK: 145
Flopped something with AQs: 1 in 5.8 (or 12/70, should be 1 in 3.3)
Flopped something with AJs: 1 in 5.9 (or 15/89, should be 1 in 3.3)
