no, but its pretty good for not dying to allins. how often are you getting a stalker kill? i dont even have marauders out that early unless hes still leaving stalkers out at like 7-8 mins

i only have wol on this laptop but i'll play some after losing money finishes and see

I'm pretty sure you can't build early marauders any more because of oracles.

lol, well yeah, if you don't have HotS, protoss early air is ridiculous now. an oracle can destroy your entire mineral line almost instantly if you don't have stuff there. mothership cores are annoying, too.

With my 2rax build....I think i just just walk into his main and kill him if he rushes oracles....havent faced it enough times though. Usually my initial poke arrives at his natural the same time the oracle arrives at my base.

are you guys finding that you get scouted a lot less in TvZ and TvP? are you finding that it correlates with them cheesing you? I've found that in TvP, if protoss doesn't scout, it means they're doing some proxy robo/proxy stargate/stargate build a lot of the time. in tvz, i hate 2raxing, but i get scouted so infrequently by zerg that i feel like it has to be +EV to mix it in some.

I can see it in TvP maybe being true, but not really in TvZ assuming you mean drone scouts, which have never really been super common to begin with, I don't think. In my own ZvTs, I used to drone scout to check whether or not T had gas, but I don't anymore because I realized I don't actually do anything different. I mean, I could open gasless if T does, but I prefer not to. I just learned the standard reaper timing instead. I'm also not scared of a 2rax that's not proxied, and if it is, it's kind of blind luck whether or not I find it even if I do drone scout.

His build seems to have some inefficiencies too, but once you have 10+ ravens, how do you stop the mass turret leapfrogging? I guess maybe infestors and fungals, but hunter seeker seems to do ok vs that too.

I was watching ketroc the other day. he mentioned that he was playing poker on ftp or stars.. don't remember exactly, I wasn't paying much attention and was on a mobile phone. maybe he's from 2p2 as well?

Well of course it isn’t possible at your small stakes, but I’d say most midstakes+ (1000nl+) regs clear 30k/month. But the point is, 23k in a year is not braggable.

Ah what? I have been playing for many years and I even places in the money for a WSOP 1k NL event in Vegas back in 05… No way you can consistantly make 30k a month unless you are awfully rich to begin with. I grind at 100NL – 200NL and I make about 600 dollars a day (that’s with years of experience)… Even if I play everyday in a month I can only make 18k… 30k is BS unless you are a TOP PRO.

Sounds about right. A regular (pro) often puts in 100k hands/month or more, so you'd only need a 3bb/100 win rate at those stakes to make 30k/month. That nanoko guy used to clear over a 1mill per year playing midstakes (by playing an extreme amount of hands with a decent win rate)

well while i kinda doubt games are soft enough/run often enough to get in 100k hands, i didnt think that was the funny part.

more that someone playing 20% of the stake thought it was impossible to make 40% more. basically just someone trying to brag as thinly as possible
