You may learn you can float the flop and take pots on the turn against players that c-bet too much. However, you end up floating with pure air instead of gutshots or hands with backdoor possibilities. In other words, you only learn half the skills - you know what to do but not when, how and against who you should be doing it.Ĥ. You Play Similarly from Different PositionsĪ TAG fish may treat the cut-off and the button as the exact same position. If an opponent raises from early position, you can’t always call with 6 9 from the cut-off just because you'll be playing in position. You've still got one more player to act behind you and if they’re good, they can make your life hell. That player can three-bet with impunity whenever you call with your weak, speculative hand. They can call and steal your post-flop position and they can punish you after the flop. Where good TAGs abuse the button, a TAG fish allows themself to be abused by the button. Alternatively, you may also be playing too loose from the blinds - perhaps over-defending your big blind. Or playing too wide from early positions (wide referring to your range). If you think you’re going to win an opponent’s entire stack every time you hit the nuts, that’s a TAGfish mentality. i'll be very happy to participate in the new league.You end up calling with speculative hands post-flop, or check-folding when you miss. Now image the rest.Īgain, everyone wants to fix the problem you describe, but it's easier said than done. You, yourself, have tried a small step with " TESTIMONIUM PRO" and have seen, first hand, the difficulty of filling a room that comes with simply increasing the hand delay by 2 seconds. Then you'll have my respect and admiration. But DO IT yourself and don't just "complaint" or "exchange ideas together and look for ways to improve ranked games". IMPLEMENT a tournament/league with your suggestions and get people to participate voluntarily. Want to prove your SKILLS to the community? Have you ever wondered why? If you haven't, let me give you a clue: talk is CHEAP. " Nobody wants to change anything about it". The new stuff you just introduced, about " partners" not " attacking nor kicking each other" is pure speculation and only weakens your argument. It's " honest cheating", as someone once put it, because it's allowed within the rules. Yes, BBC, but I was simply referring to the part about gaming the SW system by relying on old tickets. "Getting along", respect each other and differences are important. Sure, the overall number of players in the community is a concern.and ranking play provides some info on the players around your table (as do actual previous experiences.), at least for those who assume their ranks and stats (whatever they are). Keep calm, and enjoy every minute of your life as sooner or later life turns to be too short to waste it on complaining. As long as BBC, Monthly or WEC do not require members to play certain number of ranking games, I'll keep away from playing ranking - anyway I currently do not have much time to waste. I was annoyed by some players in ranking games enough I almost stopped playing them. In turn ranking games provide us with candidates we need so much. We, which mostly play BBC, Monthly or WEC, still need fresh blood to keep these (protected) games alive.

Or believe here anyone.that "Agent X" (for example) had only bad luck, bad beats.or is just a weak player.?īy limiting play in ranking games either by a ban list, required minimal average after 40 games or any other way, may affect number of players at the platform. Then will players like BarbaB stay away.and the donkeys keep donking on. You can also change nothing and leave the ranking as it is. With this process (which takes a while) you can sort out the donks for League 1.Ī new player ("fresh blood") also needs more than 1 season.to collect enough "Step 2, Step 3 or Step 4 tickets".to even get a chance at the top.if he has one at all chance has.with this outdated ticket system. Players from League 2 with Ø Points 4 qualified for League 1. I see a solution in that too!Īll Players with minimum Ø Points: 4 are qualified.Īll Players + "fresh bloods" under Ø Points: 4 are qualified.
