It’s funny how many random expressions you hear can relate to poker. I was visiting my family in Ireland for a week, and was chatting to my mother briefly about some final tables I had made in the last 2 days (2nd place and like 6th) on bossmedia (where I used to make a decent living back in 2008 grinding Midstakes Mtts). I told her that I have given up on the big moneypit sites (Stars and FTP), with massive fields and the huge variance that they bring. and that I’m going back to basics to grind up a 30-50k roll on small euro sites ASAP.. Yes, I’m back on Boss-Media.
good stuff she said,
It’s better to be a big fish in a little pond than a little fish in a big pond
That’s true I said, but then I actually tried in my mind to quantify how right she was, and in which respects.. here’s my shortlist:
Why play poker on a small eurodonk network:
- Given the smaller fields, the variance is hell-a-smaller. Winner. No more waiting a week for a final table in something.. constant performance feedback via more cashes keeps you motivated, and slowly but surely booking ok wins which can add up to 10-15k a month if you run good, and maybe 5-8k if u just play good.
- u get to know the regulars and build up a great set of notes due to constant observation … Very +EV
- small networks have smallish buy-in donkaments = weak players. do the math.
- game selection: u gotta know what’s worth playing. On Boss it’s the 40ds, 20ds, early 10r and the 3r. Anything else is crapshooty and really not worth bothering with imo. (The 100k was sick structure for a week or 2 but now it’s meh, but I guess they added some extra levels which is nice)
- strategically impaired players adding dead money: The smallest rebuys are even worth playing, as most players don’t understand that they should double rebuy and gamble to get a stack. they are too tight and inevitably even a half decent player has a massive edge meaning an easy 500-900 euro from a 3euro rebuy.. easy to run deep/final table these and omg raping the bubble is like taking candy from a dead baby.
- Rakeback, nearly forgot. 30% rakeback on pokerheaven (boss media) is the nizzles. I play on pokerheaven now since Celeb Moved to iPoker (bye bye to my golden nhggfu screenname sigh), so for now I am playing on PH. Rb = at least 1-2k a month just from MTTs.
In summary, Game selection, constant drool-worthy and mental state propping performance feedback, and reads / notes on everyone, makes being a big fish in a small pond profitable FTW. I’ll add graphs later as I want this post to encourage me not to go spazzing my roll or playing 25/50.
