are u like super skinny and malnourished ?
I seem to remember Switch saying last year that he weighed 125 lbs or something, but I forgot his height.
Has that changed Switch?

For the record, I'm 6'3" 240 lbs and I just joined a gym and changed my diet. I'm gonna try to get down around 200.

Different styles ...

Different opponents ...

i looked at my hem data. my flop fold vs cbet% at FR is 43%. but that's really related a lot to my preflop strategy and if you don't choose the same spots i do to flat call, it could be completely off.
Yeah guys, that's what I thought. I was hoping there was a simple answer, but deep down, I kinda knew there wasn't. It always "depends" in poker and I knew that. Thanks for the replies.

Back to the drawing board.

(a pair of Aces) and won $41.80 ($20.20 net)

MP3 is obviously BAD. 70/30 or something over a short sample but enough to KNOW he's ungood obviously.

So after the hand the fish is sitting out trying to decide if he's going to rebuy or leave when this happens:

Tank Tapper: call with a9 lol
Fish: mind your own business fack face
Tank Tapper: so sorry
Super Duper Deluxe Hero: it was a good call
Super Duper Deluxe Hero: I could have had worse
Tank Tapper: of course you could have
Fish: was putting u on a small pair with that raise
Fish: just didn't expect AJ
Fish: thats all
Super Duper Deluxe Hero: it's all good
Fish: no i'm telling the other to fack off
Fish: haha
Fish reloads for 50bbs! Yay!

Super Duper Deluxe Hero: lol
Tank Tapper: settle down
Tank Tapper: you're just bitter
Fish: if you're not in the hand....shut up
Super Duper Deluxe Hero: amen
Tank Tapper: if you lose, don't whine
Fish: get yourself a real name...facko
Tank Tapper: you win
Fish: always do
Tank Tapper: except against aj
Tank Tapper: LAWL
Fish: learn how to play
Tank Tapper: i'll try
Tank Tapper: just keep teaching me
Fish: a reraise 8$ with AJ...is not really great
Fish: ever here of overbet
Tank Tapper: no
Tank Tapper: ...

Fish loses all but $1.50 with UI AK that he bet the whole way.
Fish: lol
Fish: and thats a great call
Fish: i guess i get super duper deluxe heros 8$ bet now...to get the donks away from seeing the flops

Super Duper Deluxe Hero wins fish's last $4 and fish leaves :(
Super Duper Deluxe Hero: Tank Tapper, the next time u have someone willing to commit with A9 STFU about his play!
Tank Tapper: settle down
Tank Tapper: i made one comment and you basically kissed each other
Super Duper Deluxe Hero: I said what had to do to get him to reload
Super Duper Deluxe Hero: no thanks to you
Tank Tapper: so sorry
Super Duper Deluxe Hero: he was just here to have fun and gamble so please let him without making him feel bad.
Tank Tapper: you're right

Someone please make my W$SD% go up. It's current value of 41% for August is not quite high enough.
