poker is a stupid game, how are you supposed to win?

 

[zachvac]

Played some 2knl HU today. Against this guy: http://www.pokertableratings.com/fulltilt-player-search/Fat Wombat

It was 36 hands to realize that his leak was folding too much and my 3-bets (which he did fold to all but one of them but still) to $200 as bluffs giving me heart attacks wasn't the most +ev way to play. 36 hands, +$92, makes me a lifelong winner at 2knl

Stupid question here, but for PTR, do you have to sign up for it to keep track of you, or do you have to have a certain number of hands or what?

it does it automatically if i'm not mistaken

 

[Johnnybmoto]

I have played around 4K hands and get nothing when I search for my name.

 

[eNTy]

why did u quit after 36 hands ?

I have played around 4K hands and get nothing when I search for my name.

for full tilt it tracks everything from 2nl up
for stars only 100nl and up

 

[Johnnybmoto]

Ah, thats the problem then, mainly play 50NL

 

[vanquish]

why did u quit after 36 hands ?

bc 10/20 was too heartpumping obv

 

[eNTy]

but thats not exciting

 

[Munchrs]

See Boku is on his next challenge. Turning $5>$100k in less than a year playing MTT SNG's. Some reckon it won't take him anywhere near that to complete it. Sicko awesomeness imo!

linkage?

i saw bruno today
that was....... extreme

In a good or bad way? I almost saw it but was talked out of it by the people at the box office. (We'd gone to see Ice Age, which sucked, so were switching our tickets for something else.) They said tons of people have been walking out and asking for refunds.

Saw Up instead, which was good.

I heard there is a ton of penis in it. :\

 

[eNTy]

people asking for refunds sound like stupid americanos
what were they expecting anyway

its less funny then borat (obv) but way more extreme and daring
and looked like it was scripted more

[SeanyJ]

It made me think it wasn't rigged by giving me $1000 before taking $1300 away.

 

[zachvac]

$43.64/hour with rakeback. Beats McDonalds imo

 

[vanquish]

so u lost 3 buy ins there and stopping playing?



imagine if mcdonalds had rakeback though, you'd make sick money working there

Yeah I'm down about 3 buy ins at 100NL and I was going to keep losing so I have played 50NL again the last couple days and have $4000 again so tomorrow I will try 100NL again!
