ok so you've played on acr for 14 months, and are looking to play regs who you havent played yet, in $200 freezeouts?

also you can't ask for the best player to play you so low, it's just a lesson for you and like no money for them.

i stand by this making absolutely 0 sense but ill just leave u to it

edit- change title to " who will play me at 1/2" and it makes more sense, minus your weird 1-way freezeout stipulation

In the 1m 1 drop, when Seiver offered Trickett a freeroll for $500 if he won the orbit, after having won the first two hands of it, Sam said no and a real bet should be 1k.

Which of the following 3 options do you believe? (or combination of any)
1) That Sam seriously wouldn't consider ANY freeroll for $500, it needs to be at least $1k.
2) Sam knew Seiver would up the ante if he pushed back, and it was easy money to double the win potential with no cost to him.
3) Sam was legitimately concerned about such a low equity side bet literally affecting his play (that orbit) to the point where he might significantly impact his shot at winning the tournament.

Your answer will help me understand your thinking. My thinking is that against the best players, I would be -200 EV in this challenge. Due to rake, their EV would approach but not reach +200. Perhaps I'm getting a lesson for $200, but I can assure you that I have no computing aids and would only have the experience itself and hand history of this short event. I guess I just don't see it your way at all.

Also, for what it's worth, this could be a larger stake opportunity later (and I already have some of those lined up with TV-name pros in Vegas)... but the point of this is more to test current theory/presentations of pros such as Doug Polk and James Placek.

Also, regs that I have played with are totally fine - like VegetablesArentYummy, Ice Bank Mice Elf, MadLifeGrinder, leatherass9, etc. etc.

But, based on experience, I could easily get that game again on the skin, without what I posted here. I don't have a problem going up against any of them again, but would prefer if we discuss it here first.

yep and he doesn't even hide his SS like most of them do. I still consider him a reg (if the question was about winning regs I apologize) as he's regularly on top of the leaderboard in points (including this week). I already took a nice % off him earlier this week at very small stakes. His response was to call me a donkey and claim I played terribly. It was quite entertaining, and he eventually left well before most of the rest of us (6 handed) felt like leaving.

VAY is my favorite player (on WPN, excluding Betcoin as I'm new there) from 2016 though, regardless of his outcomes. As in, IBME is down on there, as his play seems to suggest that SS doesn't count rakeback and other bonuses. But all levels I've played with VAY (I'd guess $1nl through either $20nl or $30nl) I'm always impressed with his play.

would if I could. I promise you though my SS shows that I'm $-2900+ I believe. I'd assume that's lifetime and not just last 12 months, but it wouldn't be a huge difference since that would only cutoff the first 2 months I was on.

Also, fwiw, both the 5/10 and 10/20 ($1kNL & $2kNL) tables on WPN tonight have been "fishy/sketchy" or "great action" depending on your perspective. I thought you guys convinced them to do something about the insta-seating algorithms? Which was sort of my point, that, fair enough, most of you are making fun of. I just want to play against opponents that I know are real. I don't even care if I'm -100% EV vs them and/or they're using HUDS, etc., computing aids. Still more real than having a playable hand 6-max, taking the lead only to get squeezed by the 3bet and 4bet that leave like no play/chips behind preflop. I prefer losing all my money in poker rather than bingo.

So yeah, the 15/30 S $1.5kNL wasn't much better. But at least BTCBlade represented, and he is a consistent winner there.

Time to lock it up, nothing to see here.

Yep I just played the site because FT doesn't like me, I wanted a little more info on the only other player to accept and no other interest. Not really complaining since I had cleared my account all but the $200 specifically for this expecting about 25x more action than I got. (This was posted here, yeah, but also blasted all over social media calling people out)

Oh well, just took my 12.5x win and called it a day. Luckily the extremely obvious bots and cheaters on there aren't as good as Cephus supposedly is now. Also, whoever claimed that Top 10 online players are from Belarus is a complete moron. If you would like proof that any of them are running bots and other programs (no not HUDs you idiot) just let me know. (Pretty easy win for me with that since approximately 2 total are not)

I was going to do a 1k challenge next, but eh. Guess I'll just dominate the CAGE for a few weeks and then see what sort of challenge I want to do.

Feel free to close this useless thread.
