stupid for anyone to think sol reader did anything at all wrong, that is just ridiculous. I would be telling my whole ****ing town that I sat a 5k and won. Those are the benefits you reap for gambling and it paying off. That is the reward bought of the risk-reward scenario, etc etc. nh, wp sol reader

its regional championsip of online poker on stars, under tourny->reginonal.

need some opinions on this.. a friend of mine has proposed a prop bet in which he turns a $500 staring roll into $5k in under 50 days playing nothing but HU sngs, afaik he hasn't got a ton of experience in them and is just doing it for a challenge. He's asking for action at 10-1 .. do those odds sound about right? ty for any input

edit: forgot to say, if he busts the account theres no reloads allowed, incase that makes much diff.

odds sound kind of steep to me, 50 days is a long time

Depends on how much volume you think he can put it, if he has a job working 30 hours a week i would probably snap this bet if you knew for sure he had little exp in husngs. Though with 50 days and a lot of free time he can get there playing at the $22 level if he is relatively good at hu.

edit: so 10-1 is too good in his favour if he is a poker player by nature with a lot of free time

Ok ty. Yeah hes a poker player with a ton of free time, will try and negotiate it down to 8 or 9-1, pretty sure he won't be able to do it regardless due to massive tilt issues.

those odds are terrible....if he is a poker player and has a **** ton of free time, I would say 3.5-1 is about right.

first sng of the day...

sigh, cool story bro

LOL @ h2olga. come on dude show some class.
props @ solreader.

hard to say cause it obv depends only on his skill, but if he is a poker player (pro?) even at 3-1 i would bet on his side.

Obviously any previous poker history (giraffes etc) should help get the right odds. But yeah, even getting it down to 8-1 won't change much

well if I played 5ks I wouldn't try to look like a tough guy when a "fishreg" (from a 5k reg's point of view) came to play vs me. I wouldn't say that sol reader's choice to play ryyic (sp?) was a good idea either, I'd have to be slightly more informed to sit someone at 25x my stake based on a tip from a random 2p2er

I railed that dude playing 25/50 cap some time ago and imo he missed a couple of pretty clear vbet spots vs some lag moron. otoh I think he kills HU cash from what I've heard

FML didnt realise it was today, needed to sell 50% as i have just moved out and would be pretty degen to buyin, but might just buyin anyway especially if overlay meh,

gl

rcoop $215 hu tourny with decent overlay starts in 20, looking to sell actin quick

I should really get some money on Neteller so I can start buying people's action.

swap 5%?

would do but going to be a nit and not buyin, going to run away from my computer so i dont get tempted to buyin lol.

gl

probably a good plan, just started, fortunately i have note on first opponent, too bad it only says "tight postflop"...

edit, his fold bb to steal is 0%, im gonna kill myself if i lose this

That may be so, as I have never heard of this treezer character since I do not play stars very much at all. But I can say that if treezer is mharju on ftp (plauzee's partner in the 4 mans), I was not all that impressed. I think I got matched vs him 2 or 3 of the 7 matches we played, but I watched him play my partner too. And I had notes on him before having played him a couple times, and that was the reason I entered in the first place (i normally do not four man regularly). I will try and scrape up some HHs when I find the time, but overall I just remember him being very very loose. I remember one hand where I overjammed the river with air on something like q 7 8 7 k and he snapped off qt with absolutely 0 thinking. I think in order to do that you either have to be the absolute sickest or you just suck, and I admit when I saw it, I definitely thought it was the latter. But hey, maybe I'm wrong. Even still, I think a good player at least thinks. There were other instances too where I was just not impressed. But again, it was a very small sample size.

And for the record, I didn't come on here and flex my muscles. He came on here calling me and my partner "wannabe regs" and I merely responded. I admit in the chat I asked him if he thought he was good, which was what started the conversation after he had repeatedly said "lol" in the chatbox and was being sarcastic. I folded q10 on a q high board on the turn to a 4 bet jam and told him what i had. Then when I folded a few hands later to a 3 bet shove preflop, he said something like, "q10 again, nh? lol." And that was when I asked him if he thought he was good. And then I told him that he should probably find another partner. Either way, by the end of it, I had 0 heart feelings, until I came on here and saw him talking crap saying he crushed us and acting all tough challenging me to ego-driven bets.

Then I stumbled upon the guys blog and read about how proud he was to be friends with this treezer guy and how they met and fell in love (and how he mentioned his name in any part of his life where he could possibly get the opportunity).

Then I realized how ****ing cool this dude was and how much I wanted to be like him, so I went to his frequently asked question part of his blog and discovered exactly how I become a top player in hu sngs!

“Are there any general advises you can give to players who wanna become top player in HU SNGs?“
If you wanna play $115+ you need a very clear mindset,tableselection and BRM. It’s more important than anything else and the key to success! If you are able not to tilt as much as other regs at your stakes you have best chances to become one of the best there, even at higher stakes.


The, mother fkkkking, end.
