Alright, alright...I've done it now. So where's my applause?

+1

Gandalf made a promise, so he'd better keep it.

Christ .. will you stop littering threads with your nonsense.

Just play poker and STFU ..

maybe this spell works for once..

At first I was a "no" to Cara. Over time I have become intrigued followed by a staunch "yes". Strange.

26 days into the year and 81 posts. This forum has actually died. There were 300 posts by this point last year and in 2012 there were about 1000.

Well I'm studying maths as part of my degree, so here's a statistical analysis:

Last year

[] I was a regular poster in the 2p2 ufr thread
[] My first account "mottotom27" was active for well over half the year
[] Total post count of around 250

This year

[] I am no longer a regular poster in the 2p2 ufr thread
[] "mottotom27" has been inactive thus far
[] Total post count less than 10


So now let's come to your point Ron:

^Now as a calculated statistician and logician, I can inform that when something becomes worse one year to what it was like the previous year, the first thing you have to ask yourself is...have their been any major changes?

Looking at the evidence, you will notice a significant change has taken place regarding my posting habits. Last year I was posting regularly in the ufr thread, and a large proportion of my posts were under my other username "mottotom27". This year, not only am I no longer active under "mottotom27" but I've also only managed a single digit number of posts, so my frequency of contribution to the community has significantly dropped.

So there, we've identified what is likely to be a major reason behind the significant drop in activity between the ufr thread last year and this year's one. From a business perspective I know that in situations like this it's important to first identify the problem and then look for a way to solve it. So now we've come to the part that's important, and it will require your input as well as my own:

Solution

[] Encourage me to post more often in this thread
[] Fuel the decision to welcome back "mottotom27" to the 2p2 community

So there you have it, I've laid out everything you need to know about how we can get this thread back on the right track. As I said, I cannot do this on my own. In order for me to feel the desire to reactivate mottotom27, I will need motivation. If mottotom27 is a car, then you as a sub-community can act as the engine to drive that car forward and rev up the ignition needed to get mottotom27 back into life. I stand on firm moral ground to tell you with confidence that you as a community and I as an individual can unite together as a cohesive bond to reinject some life back into the microstakes forums of 2p2 and go back to the beloved days of the past where everyone was getting along and bonding as individuals whilst also generating high quality and entertaining discussions within the community. These days may be gone, but we can bring them back! Let's do it together!

A Tom vrs Ron clash .... hmm, i wonder how that could possibly end ?

that's also partly due to the attention whore above. can't be bothered to see PD's cringeworthy posts on every subject, skype is a much better place. so this one is clearly on the mods

So basically the thread has been **** since 2012 then

A clash was never my intention. Rather, I'd hope my speech will help us all to, and I quote:
So actually I'm on your side here. I'm helping to bring people together, not pull them apart! If you care about the future of this thread, then you'd be foolish not to join my side here.

This can't even possibly be true because I wasn't even active before 2015 and the numbers were still declining. The point I was making was based on Ron's observation on the 2015/2016 drop in numbers. There's been almost 4 times less posts this year compared to last year and it seems hard to be a coincidence that during this period mottotom27 went from last year being one of the most regular, frequent users of 2p2 to this year being no longer active on the site. As a logician, I've learnt by now to treat every so-called "coincidence" with suspicion. I personally do not believe in coincidences.

That's about the effort I'm gonna put into it I'm afraid. Now sadly I'm going to unsubscribe from this thread after following it and it's predecessors for the last 6 years because I don't want to have to click on it every day and subject myself to the complete aids that it's going to become if this narcissistic toolbag insists on forcing discussions about himself into every exchange.

exactly

he'd be kicked out of every skype group in under 2 seconds, but mods here just not willing/can't do much

i can confirm mottotom was 100% killing the thread last year, very annoying.

Played out as expected really ... maybe a little lenient on Ron's part but hey ho.

in 2012 about 900 of those were me bro (flex)

I guess we need you back as well then to boost the numbers

Also now Haphazard is playing poker he's not making posts about not playing poker, that's got to account for a significant percentage.

**** the 2p2 mods and **** Tom, how is that tool still alive.

Hi 2p2, this may be my first post here(not sure) but it definitely will be my last. Was fun, love you all, not you Tom, ****ing dislike you. Hope you all do well.

is ~5BB/100 ok for nl2 deepstacked?

(BB, not bb)

Its on par w moast of belarus who play for a living there so should be fine.

Btw poker turned so grim that we describe teh aforementioned winrate in 10bb these days to feel abit better aboot it

to be honest i could easily have 6+BB, but i somehow miss very clear valuebets on the river


(which is very bad, since its the biggest street)
