also use table ninja and its the nuts,
but todays stars update might have what your looking for, lets you choose 3 different types of bet sizing and they put them as buttons just above the normal buttons

[Four of a Kind]

They're using tableninja

http://tableninja.com/

yep, tableninja can also do this very fast. You can configure it up so that you bet/raise a % of the pot or any number of big blinds.

tableninja makes multitabling a breeze imo.

[BobSloane]

Cheers guys. I suppose it will make me think about my bets alot more.

Just I seen some people intsa bet out odd amounts. But I am guessing this is some 3rd party software?

I always meant to look for something on Stars to highlight the bet amount so you can make quicker bets when needed. I'm usually too busy playing when I remember it so just had a nose around the options and think I just found it:

In main lobby click 'options', then click 'advanced multi-table options...', then click on 'highlight bet amount'. This should mean that when you have the cursor active on a table that you can instant type in your bet and press enter to speed it up for you. You can also click on 'single click table activation' which will make it more like what you are used to on ipoker.

All the cool kids are doing it

Is this not standard? whoops don't remember setting this up..sorry should have mentioned it.

Just god some money on stars.

Noticed that the quick betting option like on iPoker(1/2 pot 1/4 pot) are not there. Anyway to get em there or is that it?

Like Caf says I think it's just what you get. Use it as an opportunity to improve your game. A lot of people use those buttons without thinking so just try and think about why you are betting and what amount you think will achieve this. Stack sizes very important.

I personally have 100 buyins for the level i play at. Everyone is different there is def a lower level not to go under but on the higher end its personal choices that effect it.

[sickhabbit]

Here was me thinking that your br system was made to suit you. How do you know that this person is overrolled for 5/10c? He only has 40 or 50 buy ins for those stakes. Unless you know more about this player than is in this thread?

Good point well made...

TC

[Caf]

How many tables? You'e overrolled for .5/.10 if you're putting that much on. Also, FA RB at .5/.10

I was just wondering how rackback worked,I was thinking of puting $400-$500 online and playing 5c/10c and playing for on average 3 hours per day so realistically how much could I expect to get in rackback?also any recomandations on what would be the best site for it?
Thanks

There is a thread that would be useful for you here:

what site is it you get 60% rb from?also what site would you recomend for someone starting out online?
thanks

shush... check some signatures...

[pflynn10]

I just had a look at my hem and you rake approx $21 per 1k hands at 20nl.

Then its up to you how many tables you play and all that sort of stuff.

I have 60% rb and 9 table so that means playing 3 hours would provide me with $25 rakeback.

Except for a situation like this with only 1 player remaining, heads up I'd much rather the later.

Weird how I was thinking about this again.

But that was my thinking. Knowing the villian was calling with anything I would be better shipping with the J and hoping I might have a high card.

[_UTG_]

You're probably better shipping with 42o than J2o tho, because there's more chance you'll have live cards if you're called.

Live tournie so I am short stacked. The Villain has 7/8 BB but know will call. Middle of game so nothing going on. Ie people are content to sit on stacks and blinds are not forcing hands to much.

@ Flushdraw I see where you are coming from, but I would still rather push with something I might be ahead with when I know I am getting called. With 4 2os I am never ever ahead. Least with a K or Q I might be called with suited connectors.

[ArmaniJeans]

Ok think I asked this before but

I'm in Sb with 4 BBs and I look down at 2 4os, am I always shoving here or do I give up the Sb and wait.

Just me and the BB in it? No/small ante?

It depends on a load of factors.
For example how wide will the BB call? If he has only 5 or 6 BB himself then he may not call light which improves the chances of the shove getting through. Or you may have him pegged as a supernit which leads to a shove as well.
What stage of the game are we at and are the chip stacks of players not in this hand less than yours? Does having 4BB put you at close to average (not completely unknown ) Is there anyone with less than 1BB who can't survive another round etc. For example I play turbo SNGs on Stars and there are loads of bubble/itm scenarios where this is an insta fold, and ditto loads of situations where its an insta push.
In a knowledge vacuum, where I don't know any of these answers, then I'd say its a shove.

[Flushdraw]

Last time I did let it go I got I few weird I was wrong looks. But thought I made the right play.

[MegaSin]

It would depend on a few factors like his stack size/prizemoney/table aggresssion/how many players left etc, but in a vacuum i let it go. You'll get a better chance to ship before the blinds come back to you.

i gave pl omaha a go for first time last night on 5/10c got up to $40 but got into big pot and lost $30, called small raise pre, flop came 3c4h7c i had 5h6s8s9h 3 players in the hand first to act leads out for $1.50 i raised pot of $6 next player calls $6 and initial raiser moves all in for for $22 more , i call other player fold , up against AcAs7d8c
club hits river,
Im just wondering shud i be raising with no club in my hand or is it better to just flat call ?

There is nothing wrong with the way you played it either. In Omaha you may sometime have to consider folding the nuts, and this hand is a good example of when you might think of it because it is a 3 way pot so you could be up against both clubs and a set, as well as maybe only splitting it if the board bricks out. However, at 5c/10c this wouldn't really come into my thinking an awful lot, you you played it fine in my opinion.

5starpool is a better omaha player than me and i agree with some of his thinking in this post, but you have to fold when he raises €22 more. This is 220 big blinds MORE to call when you could be chopping and facing someone with the club redraw, or facing the nutflush and a set. I prefer a call on the flop and maybe get it in against a brick on the turn, but raising is ok aswel i suppose.

dont think this deserves a thread so ill ask in here.

brother started playing poker a few weeks back so i transfered some funds to his account via another account i had on boyles.

now i know that transfers stop us playing at same cash tables and that. but as i said i did it thru another account. and for first few days we we were able to play. then this evo boom not allowed.

is this an ip addy thingy or what happened

You can't play cash with someone you have shipped to. Mtts are fine afaik.

[Angry-Ball]

i know that sometimes when 2 people try to play the same tournies even mtt's that if they have sent money to each other then whoever tries to reg second cant get in but i think that after 24 hours it goes back to normal.just ring customer service thats what i do and theyl sort it

just dosn't encourage staking atall

I think stars is the best for this but not really sure... It's RNG broke last night though and actually gave me some hands... then got working again near the end and fucked me.

i don't play omaha atall. but would consider this hand to be very similar to a holdem hand where you have flopped the nuts and getting it all in against some guy looking to draw out. as you don't know where any of the other clubs are in the deck only the 2 on the board and the 2 in his hand i would assume that this is the same % as holdem and that he has roughly a 36% chance of making his flush by the river. though luck imo
could be completely wrong do

Interesting hand i'd say (don't play Omaha really). Will probably play a couple of the IPB/IWF Omaha games and was wondering if in a tourney game would this be, generally, a flat call & re-evaluate on turn or a raise for info & fold to repop?

hi all ,could u advise me some good poker sites iam with paddypower would like to try others could u please advise thank you dom

It depends what you're playing, if you can tell me that I can give you some advice. I only pay cash on-line and across a number of site so let me know.

Try a few different sites and avail of sign up bonuses then decide what you want. When signing up seek advise here as to whether rakeback is available as if you sign up you may not be able to get it in future.

[liz:)]

ladbrokes is supposed to be pretty soft for cash games,i myself never play on it anymore but they have good sats for their big games and as far as i know the cash games on it are pretty low standard

[KevIRL]

hi all ,could u advise me some good poker sites iam with paddypower would like to try others could u please advise thank you dom

It depends what you like playing, and for how long.

Stars and Full Tilt get get the most traffic, but the standard is generally a bit tougher. They have a huge selection of game types and buy in level, if its tournaments you are into they have some brilliant guarentee's but the large number of players can mean a long run to the final table.

ipoker (ppp and others such as Boyles) doesnt have great software, but the player pool is largely european and the tournament sizes arent as big. Other similar options are Cake (Brucepoker) and Entraction (ladbrokes)

I'm sure some of the other online lads can give you more advice particulary around rakeback and sign up bonuses.

This thread is here so anyone who might have a question that they're afraid to ask or a potentially simple hand they'd like to get advice on (but don't want to start a thread about it) can post it in here and they will get a genuine response.

The rules in this thread are simple, no levelling, genuine responses only, and because the people asking the questions are new to the game, 1 word answers are not permitted, take a little time to even give a one sentence reply as to why you'd do something.

I'll be reading it so if any newbs don't realise they are being levelled, I will and you will be suitably punished. (At mine and the other mods discretion, from a warning to a ban for persistent transgressions)
