Let's start this months thread on International Womens Day, the day specifically set aside to honor women because it only has 23 hours.

Gonna be in Vegas for first time in forever 1st weekend of NCAA tournament. Couple questions:

-bellagio is 4 or 5 bet cap?
-should I expect anything bigger than 40 to be going? If so, is usually 80 or 1/2?

Thx.

March!

5 bet cap
no. 40 is usually highest. if anything higher runs it'll be 80 or 1/2.

And no cap heads up, right?

If one of those nits puts the 6th bet in the middle, nobody likes your chances.

****ing champion

I love it when you call me big tither
Throw your cash in the air
if you want more than prayer

throw your money in the air
what comes down is an answer to prayer

throw your money in the air
you could wave it around, but you just don't care

throw your money in the air
and forget the nay-sayers

Potential awesome energy? High!

Thread does not deliver

Is it March yet?

We are not at 1 post per day and I have posted four times. Back to small stakes I go

holy batman.

Whereas I've vastly improved lately, I've always struggled mentally with downswings above 300BB. Been talking with my LHE stars grinders and seen some NASTY stuff/reports . Heard several looking to move back to the US to play live...

Seen several graphs with sample sizes >600k hands containing 1000-1500 BB downswings over 200k hands. O.M.G.

The mental fortitude required to persist through this environment to SNE must be unreal. #respect

edit: I saw zero graphs that did not contain at least one 1k BB downswing over 500k+hands
edit2: HAI JESSE, not gonna lie I scroll through 2+2 looking for threads started by the LA crowd, and close it when i don't =P

Perhaps their mental fortitude is not strong enough and that's contributing to these enormous downswings. 1500 BBs is tough to fathom for someone who is even a small winner and who isn't tilting.

FYP

nah, it's feasible in really tough games with really tiny/zero edges (which is what the stars lhe games are these days) over huge samples. i mean actually tough games and actually huge samples, not live poker stuff

i think by definition we'll see the highest variance in situations where winrate = 0, games = super aggressive, and samples = huge

nice - took me a couple readings

It's amazing how previously very profitable areas become unprofitable or barely profitable over time. Market inefficiencies are becoming more efficient and more quickly now with the prevalence of technology and the global economy.

Scary how much you have to continually be more effective in pushing thin edges and outwork your competition in life, much the same as in poker.

Whether you're a poker player, lawyer, taxi cab driver (think Uber), the previously highly profitable nature of the job is eroding due to technology/low cost of barrier of entry, etc.

"Social media consultant" is my favorite.

Except in software it seems where more tech means more jobs.

**** bro that's an example of a job I'd fail within hours. Like barista sales guy etc.

No, you wouldn't. Nobody who has logged in to Twitter (ever) would fail, at least not for a few months.

And it's because the people who hire them say **** like this:

Bigwig: "These comments we're getting are extraordinarily negative. Can you pull up some examples of positive things people say about us on the Internet?"

Fine. I stand by my disqualification for barista
