Stake Poker Discussion: Tips, Strategies, & Your Verdict?

[Wrenynni]

I get why some say the rake feels high but if you're not factoring in the rakeback from plat and up you're missing half the picture honestly. It's not that the UI is perfect, sure it can get chopppy with more than 3 tables but calling the games soft while ignoring how swingy that makes your sessions is kinda cope

I honestly love the chaotic energy on Friday night tables, you can triple barrel with air and somehow get called by ace high thinking they trapped you. Just avoid those morning grinders who defend blinds like their life depends on it.

table select is your best friend during those weekday nit fests, just hop til you find the splashy guys

Have you noticed any difference in game speed between their casual tables and tournaments?

I really love the hyper turbo sit and goes on Stake, the blinds ramp up so fast it forces the table into constant action and makes it impossible for anyone to just sit there folding for 20 minutes.

Seems fine for kiilling time but i wouldnt call it my main poker fix honestly

I actually stacked a guy three times in one session because he kept overvaluing top pair no kicker on wet boards, the Sunday crowd here definitely lacks fundamentals compared to ACR. The tradeoff is that the rake nibbles at your win rate pretty hard so you can't just auto pilot, you have to size up a little bigger agaisnt the calling stations to make it worthwhile.

Yeah rake is the silent killer for me, you see all these loose callers and think it's free money then at end of session notice how much has been chewed up lol it really forces you to play tighter than you'd want.
