Anyway, he is not here.

Bike is not banned, but he has not logged into 2+2 in five months, FYI.

Why's quantum still banned anyway? I can't even remember anymore tbh

In scoop has it always been these super bad pay outs?

Only top top get payed out really well

1.5x for a mincash..?

payjumps of 10$ for 109$ events
--------------------
Congrats to all ^^

Thank god.

If Isaac Newton or Gallileo were complete dickheads you can move past that because they were geniuses.

Bike is neither the poker equivalent of Newton or Gallileo and he is definitely a dickhead.

Yep, I think it's the time to move on.

also lol at the satties: if u win one u have to use that ticket for A SCOOP event. And cannot turn it into $t lol


+more rake incoming

I defo like the sound of moving on from SCOOP....the standard fun crippling May for me.

SCHEDULED 01/05/2017-24/05/2017 381 -$6.78 $15.27 28.2% -$2,584

lol at my decent ROI though.

Crippling? Wut?
That's like being down 1-2 high buyins.

err for you maybe....my average buyin is $15 atm.

I cashed in 1 medium out of 10 or so. But was also running pretty meh in reg mtts which never helps.

Anyway c'est la vie....I prefer WCOOP so saving my run good for that obv

Thanks, and for sure i remember you and also all of these players hehe, was around before talonchick became PS Online pro, sweet times I really miss the 109$ PLO8 and the 5$+R 25$ add-on too, rip old times heh

Trust me, was about time variance spare me a little :P (inb4 more hatred)

Ok, I get what you are saying and to answer, i care what the community thinks sometimes because i love O8 that much, not just in it for the money, i actually enjoy playing the game even for fun and kinda want to share that love with open minded people and a good community whenever possible. Quite frankly I came on the forum just coz a viewer told me to check it out. I'm obv fine with people giving their opinions on hands as long as they aren't actively trying to stay close minded, otherwise its a monologue and not a discussion...

4) all of the above, can't exactly rule out any part of my identity so yeah

Not sure if you did play a lot of PKSO O8, but anyhow this one wasn't like any other. Off the top of my head (would have to recheck FT replay from stream) Mongano's bounty was 11k-11.2k and i had enough chips to call, lose and STILL be chip leader. If i would scoop that pot, i would get 5.5k in bounty and 3k from laddering directly in my pockets. That's even before starting to range villain... I mean, if he has 3 wheel cards and 1 high card (AK35 or such) we are flipping and im usually around 44%, and i'm really only doing poorly when he shows up with a bigger pair and good low like (AQQ2, AKK4, etc), if we include in his shoving range there some High Only hands like AKKQ, AAJT, KKQJ or such this becomes a way more complex decision than "i have bad cards" ... I only consired the spot because I could afford to take it and lose and still be in decent shape to win the tourney so call it greed i guess

Thanks, for a sec I glitched mentally and thought it was GiBobHi/Lo writing this comment... He was railing the FT and asked me if we made a deal in the end and what % of myself i had. Then said he would wait for his revenge in the 1k plo8. Then only last week he was calling me an amazing idiot on the tables...... Anyways, thanks for being genuine and also writing it, made me realize i still need to recover on a lot of sleep haha. Cheers !

Didn't feel betrayed, and tbh i think it was just the mix of lack of sleep for the whole month mainly because of scoops + taking a bunch of insults from various regs on the tables following my win + a lot of runbad (if you don't think its possible watch the "Brick Sunday Stream" and laugh as i QQ and get rekt x20). But yes sure, i could just care about the money and laugh at everyone else... altho I'm not that kind of person. Anyhow i apologize for that, doesn't mean you were 2 faced just that i was fed up of people complaining about me running good and cherry picking all the mistakes/missplay i did.

Man, so glad that you point that out, i couldn't have expressed that idea better lol. Sick thing tho, people remember all bad beats you give to others but not the ones given to you. On that note i would like to say that Juicy J did play very well his TAG style and I don't think he will take offense in me saying that he had his fair share as well surviving and scooping many all-ins on FT prior to HU, esp with that AK36 hand where Mongano busted. He has like 26% 3-ways and scooped + got the 5.5k bounty and 3k ladder that hand.
That's just poker tho so no need to try and manipulate the results you show to make a certain player look way more lucky than another one guys

Ikr, that was so unexpected, was really like wtf... imagine if you min cash in a 2 day event... how awkward and time consuming can it be

Played vs Isildur a lot during the SCOOP, busted him from 3 events and i can assure you that altho I don't think he is clueless about O8, it is pretty clear that he wasn't all that familiar with the structure of the tournaments or at least had really little time adjusting/modifying his strat to try and optimize his play. Still managed to go deep in a bunch so, wouldn't go full disrespect on his case !

yeah... and the stress & time involved in doing that omg.
I guess the just wanted to show the world they get 'top' pay outs.
i got 26 in horse & 26 in 5nl08 booth payed out 360$ - 109$ = 251$ profit
x2 = 502$ - the other 3 events i played = i had 200$ profit for playing close to 70 hours. That is not how 100+$ events should be like haha

Isildur might not be the best in 08, but he still went deeper then most regs did. But u have to know that the man used to play for millions. What does he care about 'one big blind'.

I think they are paying too many places (13-15% of total entries, which usually translated to 22-27% of unique players). The only choices are to reduce the payouts up top... make the middle payouts flatter... make min. payouts smaller (as they did)... or reduce number of places paid.

Those indeed were the days. Fun tourneys and the majority of players spoke English! haha
Wish I found the game much sooner and the ability to play online from US lasted much longer. Didn't even get a full year in.

Are you related to Lew Alcindor?

the good old days

the 5.5r + 25a was crazy.
the 9 handed plo8 mtt's without ante's were so soft lol.

ZOOM tournaments where u could have 4 different buyins at the same time on fulltilt

9 handed Nl omaha hi lo cash games where players could buy in from 5-25$ and players were stacking off with anything (including me LOL)

Ooh, the SCOOP replays are already up now btw.
Seen a bunch of interesting things already. Got hurrrrican3 opening KQ33 OTB on my 2k FT lol.

lol people in this thread are pretty obsesive with me it seems.

get over yourself guys

i see people post hands from me to talk stuff. as i always say sit me as the cash game table if you think i am bad.
but Gl trying to be the bully here on there real streats aka poker table i will be your bully

They might try to hit and run, but that would be the most action you'd probably get from most of them. Amok should maybe try too, I hear he's the best

Amok is decent guy he did give me some action but not too much. at least he not having big mouth here when i am already away for 6 months.
And to be honest i have give Amok also some stuff here on forum but his understand of o8 is like 100 times better then that bracelet dude.

That bracelet dude should just come to play me 2550 5 card we wil see after week playing if he still has so much talk here

we can do a challenge bike of 10k hands if you want
you can choose the amount of money to play for minimum 10k and max 100k on 10/20 or 25/50 stakes

pbb we can find a escrow we both trust if you are interested

Lol.

Gl Bookie.
