It's just obvious that stars will have tougher fields in mtts and tougher cash games but that's a huge generalisation with regards to cash games and doesn't mean that everyone on WPN is weaker than everyone on stars lol. Stars mtt's **** on everywhere else so it's obvious that all the stronger mtt players will focus there.
Just let it go. Amok is an arrogant dick 98% of the time to pretty much everyone so don't take it to heart pls. Just post his losing mtt stats a few times more or something like that.
I'm pretty much not allowed to win a hand in SCOOP this year but my only consolation is that sex clone weirdo omb is failing so hard. About time the spewtard stops running golden. Long may it continue pls. Him not me obv
Sorry for the hijack even, but I mentioned nothing about any of this in this thread until amok popped up with that quote I'm guessing after he saw I wished juicy gl...which is the only reason I posted here in the first place. I've played against juicy a bit and respect his game a lot, even without the recent mtt score.
The point is that it's simply not true anymore billy. Many of the ones coming over are your strongest, most well-established pstars regs looking for even more volume because of dwindling mid-high stakes volume on stars + as a kind of protest to amaya greed lately. Whole stables in some cases even, check thrash staking and others in the 2p2 marketplace and they pretty much spell it out for you right there. Add to that, the wpn beast/snc promos further reward high-volume grinders and reg-battling more than any other site right now. Our $7 and $15 plo8 mttsngs run far more than on stars, and at over 100% rakeback for high volume regs...you think that won't make the games a bit tough?
I was all for letting it go ages ago and even made solid efforts to do so(even billy is one of my favorite posters here these days), but when amok and a few others keep trying to make one of the last few places I'm allowed to play at into being some kind of joke site...it discourages others on the fence from even giving it a try. It's kinda hard to not care at all, when all of his crap about it is counterproductive to what I've been working on lately.
Also ty to hero value for the advice lol, instead of doing at least a tiny little bit for o8 (which has done a hell of a lot for you lately tbh) you decide to spend your time defending some bumhunting long-time forum troll for reasons idk why even lol. Really disappointing since you and some others' comments after the whole merge crap kinda helped tip the scales a bit for me when I wanted to quit after getting the rest of my merge roll out.
Even on my fairly limited BR I still manage to try and keep the smaller stakes active by giving out tons of hours of free coaching and stakes with a very generous player cut to o8 regs who are struggling or just a bit new. On top of that, I've been taking time away from the tables lately to dust off my programmer's hat and learn how to code Discord apps/bots to further make it a more social community with a ton of time-saving (time=money) and other features for grinders.
I'm even not doing all this crap to brag or for some silly ego bs like you try to say hero(honestly you of all o8 regs are one of the last few people who can even begin to accuse someone of ego crap rofl, but I'll still respect you again when you get back to reality). No, the honest truth is that this is stuff holdem and plo guys have already been doing and it has been working for them. I've gotten many of these general ideas from Thrash and a few other very solid and mostly unbiased sources tbh...who said in a fairly polite way that the o8 community really needs a lot of work in all of these areas to stand a decent chance at growing these days.
How would you like it if your country suddenly blocked / overtaxed / ringfenced / whatever - the main sites and/or blacklisted you simply for winning too much(or at Vegas/WSOP)? There's a few of you who probably need this to happen to you(as much as I'd hate seeing someone else go through it), it would be a good reality-check and might put a few things into perspective for you. If you still manage to come back from all of that crap, then come talk to me. Until then, it seems like we will never see eye-to-eye on poker.
Him and amok are basically doing the sports equivalent of kicking dirt on an injured/downed player who isn't able to play. Congrats on that lol I suppose, truly one of your finest moments I'm sure.
Anyway I've wasted enough time here, gl
