No, its became a thread to keep from standard bbv being posted in sttf.

It also turned into a thread where ofihstix says hi to me.

Spoiler:

Hi Alex

Spoiler:

Now its a thread where I said hi to him back

To keep in the spirit of the thread, I wrote a rap song based on my month so far. Two of my close friends are travelling so I've been grinding like I used to as a youngster. Here is the first verse

May is gay!
Why did I play?
Grind today?
Lol, no way!



We should turn it into a speculation thread where we talk about the tourney graph thing in HEM, and how its made to keep fish thinking they are winners, so they keep paying rake. Obviously Roy in cahoots with the poker sites

HEM luck graphs tilt the **** out of me.
I really don't think they are anywhere near anything that resembles accurate for telling you how much you should have won.

Well, it is as limited as ICM itself.
I'm constantly running into big hands atm, so my redline is hovering around 0, eventhough my pushes are good (i'd say...). If the redline would show what i SHOULD have won it would need to know the ranges and what the expectation of my push was regardless of the outcome.
Thats impossible obv.

Imo, the redline is completely useless and doesn't represent what we think it represents. It measures something that is too disconnected from the expected results and actual game itself.

What i'd like to have is a redline that measures nothing and just says "you run bad" all the time regardless of the actual luck. Thats all i wanted the red line to do anyways. I don't wanna know that i run good, cause that means i'm worse at SNGs than i think - and who wants to know that?

I agree with most of this, besides if your not getting it in bad often in sngs , your doing wrong. The red def shoves you something but shouldn't be over valued imo

Brag: Bankroll above $130 now starting with $20 after only playing ~ 25 $3.40 SNGs. Seriously sick.

Beat1: Low limit.
Beat2: Didn't invest in pokertracker or SNGwiz when I had the monies.

I realy wanna go ahead and say " U got what u deserved for flating KK "

Nice tarp.

[AnfieldRoad]

Obviously not percentage wise or whatever. It's just the combination of sheer idiocy (nobody spite calls for 70% of their stack in this spot) in the call, and the result. I mean...I can't remember ever seeing a call that bad to begin with. Probably doesn't even happen to me monthly.

[ofishstix]

nice use of the spoiler feature!
