To round out the metaphor, Cuse should vote his own thread 0 stars imo.

Lol A+ comment

Thanks Snowball!

Thanks!

I kept it light, stretching and foam roller... I'm just trying to stay loose with all the long days coming up.

Yeah, I am focusing on playing one hand at a time and continually re-assessing the table and what I need to do. The only thing I did that really looks ahead is put the structure into my spreadsheet for all six days, laundry and grocery shopping - things I don't want to waste time on when I'm spending ~13 hours at the Rio each day.

Oh, ok.

I voted it -5 stars.

Gl today cuse, make jim beyhime proud!

Not a fun first level... Ran KK into AA vs someone who had me covered on 4th hand and managed not to go broke... Got KK cracked. Made some back with trips, got 3 streets. Lost flip for 1/4 of my stack with 99 vs KQ. Made straight over straight, runout puts straight on board and kills action. Flop two pair vs top pair, turn 4 straight kills action. Both value cuts were vs AA vs KK villain.

Yet I still have 35K... Just staying on my A game and weathering the storm. Blinds going to 300/600... So I'm still in fine shape.

Go go go!

Second break I've got 61,975.

Lets go cuse!

I've got 53,700 at dinner break. My table is awful but I'm fighting with very few hands. I spent most of the last level between 45K and 55K.

Are you aware that chip counts without a reference to blinds are useless

I think they come back to 500/1k

Oh, do those matter? I'm a pretty big donkey so thanks for filling me in.

Correct. I've got a little over 50bb.

I don't know why, but I've had a really good feeling about you running deep in this event since last week when you were looking for backers. I was actually thinking about taking 10%, but it wasn't a conversation I wanted to have with my wife.

Anyway, keep it rolling man - and remember, it's best when the good luck comes late in the tourney!

@Relentless Doubt

Do you have some personal beef with Cuse?


I mean I questioned him about his markup as well but that was just so he could ask himself the questions I was asking him, and also so potential backers could have more info, it wasn't for any personal reasons.


I initially thought you were grilling him on it for the same reasons, but now I'm wondering if you were in fact doing it for more personal reasons.


You're last few posts itt have essentially just been trolls. Not really sure why you are being a di ck to Cuse but at this point that's all you are being. There is nothing informational or constructive in commenting that he should post blinds as well. At least not in the passive aggressive way you did it.

Now if there is some personal beef that is legit between you and Cuse, well then ok maybe you have your reasons.

But if it's something like jealousy, that Cuse's not only saccing up and playing in the event but doing well to this point in it, I'd recommend a different approach. If you think you're a better player than he is and thus your results should be better than how about proving it. Doesn't have to be to anybody but yourself, but you're aren't doing yourself any favors feeling jealous and posting snide bitchy comments.

Just saying...

Are you aware that you can look at a structure sheet to know what the blinds are at any given point?

Fish.

Never met the guy, either, FWIW.

Go Go Gadget!

Cuse is superior to me in poker by far. My advice is still relevant.

Ok, fair enough. Perhaps I was jumping to conclusions a bit there.

Although just an fyi, your last two posts the one about posting blinds info aswell and the one saying exercise better than everything Cuse did with his day eh...to me anyway seemed kind of on the snide trolly side of things, hence my above post.

But, whatever.

The difference in the world relevant, is that you might think your 'advice' was relevant, however, to someone who knows a lot more about things than you, your advice is laughable and worthless.

The coaching stuff is dumb for reasons I won't argue. The assumption that he doesn't have an hourly at the main is ridiculous as well for obvious reasons. Trying to 1 up the guy and claim 200bbs deep isn't deep when we're referencing a tournament structure where you're almost never 200bbs deep is dumb and pointless, as is the assumption that a 200bb buyin game doesn't play 400bb deep relatively often. The idea that his hourly is something he's basing solely on his 5/10 results, rather than his historic winrate at 2/5 and an assumption that the vegas games will be running softer than that displays a lack of understanding, of how poker players think/approach their hourly assumptions. Challenging him to 2/5 hu then mentioning that he's superior to you in poker is contradictory and boisterous at best, pointless and the result of a fragile ego at worst. Your last post about including blinds was relevant, though it could have been phrased better.

So yeah, your advice would perhaps be better than the game plan/approach of some whale, but it's not relevant outside of (cue matusow) the kiddy pool.

Wasnt referencing MTTs but cash. But nice job I'm glad you care. Cus win all the monies. Ignore opportunity cost or relative skill levels and keep on comparing 2/5 winrates with 5T; overestimating ones edge is the key ro winning

Wow...I gave up on this thread when I saw Cuse was willing to throw his friend to the dogs over a minor disagreement in a prop bet...but it's actually starting to get interesting again.

What's up with Duke by the way? Haven't seen him around here much lately.

Y'know, you actually make some half-decent points (with an emphasis on the half), though you are somewhat abrasive in the way you deliver them. To save you some time (and all of us a headache with the bank n forth), arguing with Cuse is beyond pointless.

As an example, the last thing I mentioned to Cuse was that the income generated from self-employment as a poker pro is worth about 50% of the equivalent salary at a job with good benefits (disclosure: that isn't my idea or number, it's the general consensus of HSNL players with numerous years of experience on both sides of the fence). Cuse proceeded to tell me I'm wrong, immediately after admitting he has never had a decent career-path job with good benefits, and at the time he had less than 3 months experience as a full-time pro.

Believe me, if a man is bold enough to decisively argue a comparison between two things he has little to no experience in vs numerous persons with many years of experience in each...you're not gonna win pretty much no matter what. Just sayin..
