ACR Tourney - Mid/low best settings
What have you found are the ideal game settings to provide a real simulation of low/mid games in ACR. Also looking to play live tourneys at local card room.
Right now I'm playing Daily Casino Tourney Medium Skill. It seems like opponents are limping and folding to continuation bets too often.
Thanks

@pk506 posted something related to this in another thread. I also think the bots are far too passive at the standard settings. Here is the meat of what he suggested. Hope it helps.
"I also joined APT in November. I played about 350 hrs of live cash games in 2017 and am looking to increase that to 400+ this year.
After some toying with the system here, I have been able to simulate a fairly realistic version of the live games I play in. If you're preparing for casino play, maybe this will help:
Table selection - I toggle between three the 9 max "medium" tables. They have a mix of 1/2 players you will usually run up against at a reg infested room like mine (Winstar in Thackerville, OK).
I use random hands from all positions to simulate a live session. I will alternate between keeping my stack at 100 bb or not. A lot of live hands are played at 100 bb eff or less. Sometimes much less. Sitting down at a table where everyone has exactly 100 bb's is not realistic and, unfortunately, a flaw in the sim but understandable that it would be hard to program it otherwise.
I place the table at "more aggressive than normal". Leaving it at standard does not produce the preflop action which is normal for a live setting, specifically limping. Setting the table as more aggro produces a realistic amount of limping with a wide range, as well as some speculative raises. It also encourages the sim players to get sticky post flop, another component of live play.
Bet sizing - In live 1/2, my standard open is usually 10-12. With my opening ranges, I will raise over limpers as such - 12 for 1 limp, 15 for 2 limps, 20 for 3 or 4, etc...
However, in the simulation, you need to scale down the sizing considerably or you will be getting an unrealistic number of folds. In the sim, I open to 6. I'll keep it 6 for one limper, and make it 8 for 2+ limpers. This seems to clear out the trash while still getting a realistic number of limp/calls. I'm noticing that the limp/call range in the sim compares fairly realistically to live.
For 3 betting (or more), I find that you can go with your realistic sizings and get accurate play-back.
Post flop you can size normally in relation to the pot. Just don't attempt to the manipulate the sim by overbetting the pot as this is not something that you would not realistically do in live play other than in very rare circumstances."
I agree with what is posted above. One comment is that I know these settings are good for many live games. I haven't ever played ACR, so I don't know what the games are like. I've found that online games are often a LOT more active and aggressive than live games.
thanks everyone.
