Sounds like you're just looking for an excuse to depo 5k online - why not it's just money people have spent 5k on more retarded things

Yeah this is no epic post newbee but if BBV is one of the first things you are reading here you got nothing to say.....go read some hand histories or something and get back to me when you been here longer than a year. I know I ramble sometimes incoherently, apparently like tonight, but you are going to run into far more garbage around here than this thread. Really. (I Do apologize for my semi incoherent post.....I am about 15 twisted teas deep, guess the question got muddled. Fk hate when that happens.

Fold pre, bro.

Are you high?

Thats not it at all.....I have played since 03, read and re-read my poker books over and over, had about 800K hands on my first PT when pc blew up....luckily I have the losing hand in a text file of almost every tournament or SNG i have ever played (over 700 pages) and even recently went through every one to see how I would play the hand now, 6-7-8 years later....
I have not posted here a ton but have been reading this site's posts for quite a few years...although I am learning the in-depth PT stats since I really only used it for my play recently. Every tournament I played from Truepoker to FT to Party to PStars is logged in a notebook with notes on how I did and why I lost. I have 9 of those I fan through often. I read and re-read all 800 or so poker magazines I have and watched everything on TV. I played every form of game they have at various limits and table sizes and dropped 99% of it to stick only with what I think I am good at. (a totally fked notion with no PStars) I am a stat and log freak. So no I dont want any quick win, I just want to play less tournaments for more substantial money. I feel after almost 10 years I entitled myself to that, and I have a once in a marriage (with 2 kids) shot to make something happen with 6 months to do nothing but poker 24/7. So why grind 20-50 $1-$3 trns instead of mostly 11-50's? I lose I go back to work no problem, but I cant convince myself that using that time to grind $100 into $1000 is even worth my while if anything other than recreational.

Quite

OP can you cliff what your saying in your OP

Something along the lines of...it being better to start grinding from mid stakes than to start at the micros?

Yeah I need to figure out how to do that anyway....

clear cut fold river

theory with lots of evidence would probably be a fact...

+1

I guess if you can 100% prove something, sure, call it a fact. I think for most things that's extremely difficult to do.

The only reason I'm a nit about this word is because I get annoyed when people misuse it and say things like "LOL carbon dating and gravity are just theories".

"Just a theory"

It's supposed to be a strong word. Theories are not fanciful ideas or guesses.

How many of your 1k+ posts are junk like this? Who's the more foolish...the fool who wrote the thread or the fool who looks at it, decides he cant read 500 words all at once, and actually comments on deciding not to read it? Dumb ass people.
