Interesting how OP disappears a mere 26 minutes after imakeposts offers to meet up with him.

Still in Vegas OP?

01-08-2014 , 07:45 PM
thread dead. OP sucks at teh pokerz. has not results or anything to back it up.

OP cant beat 1/2 limits.
01-08-2014 , 08:33 PM
There are a couple of other recent threads with people talking about their poker in Vegas. One guy posted his stack of chips one night, and the other even posted pics of himself. This OP posts no pics and won't even meet up with a single poster, ever. He also refuses to post any results at all prior to this year and won't even say if he has ever been a winner at any game. Even if he posted that he was a lifetime loser at 1/2 NL, at least it would show honesty if nothing else.

Okay, so you refuse to tell us about past results because of that. But you've also started this thread (so much for anonymity when you do that) and you also posted this stuff:

What is the best way to upload pictures? I see people linking to photobucket. Is that the preferred method?
Oh wait, so now you're talking about posting pics and posting results you had this year?

I guess I wasn't joking when I said I plan on running good. I had two major pots I ended up winning that I was behind on when a significant amount of money was in the pot. One I still had decent equity and the other I sucked out on big time but got a lot more in the pot after I sucked out. These two pots totaled around 1200 so my numbers could definitely be different. Haven't played regularly for some time up until this point and definitely not for straight days so it took some getting used to. I also notice the Vegas distractions getting to me but I expect to get better with that as time goes by. Luckily some things went my way and hopefully my discipline gets better out here because this town will obviously eat you alive if you aren't focused.

Good luck to everyone at the tables. Look for another update fairly soon.
And you post results immediately after your latest sessions. So why won't you tell us ANYTHING about your results before this year? It can't be because of anonymity, because you don't seem worried at all about posting results at other times, like results from less than a week ago.

And why should we trust anything you post about results this month when you're clearly not being honest about your reasons for hiding results from before this month?
01-08-2014 , 09:17 PM
Fake or not, this is one of the better threads in LVL currently. Enjoy it for what it is.
01-08-2014 , 09:24 PM
I'll check in on this thread in a week or 2 to see if OP posts anything. I'll then check in a month later to see if this develops into something.

As of now, I feel this is a level or this guy just doesn't realize the time involved in posting and updating a 'track my progress' thread.

There's several reasons I don't do one of these, as much as I would love the critic and feedback from this community on my game.

If you noticed I said to give me a chance at a proper update after I posted my results. People were curious as to how I was doing so I thought providing them the courtesy of a quick update was needed.

From here on out I will post when I feel I have enough interesting content to post. If I don't post for days/weeks it's not because I can't beat low stakes poker (almost anyone can) or that I gave up on the goal. It's because I don't feel the need to or simply don't want to.

I absolutely underestimated the demand. Please understand this is a very intense goal and it comes before my updating this thread. I also put my life balance before this as well. However, I do expect as time goes by that I will figure out a regular posting schedule and that this will become a better thread. I'm just getting everything together both inside and outside of the game so please allow me to get settled.

Still a cheeseball
01-08-2014 , 10:29 PM

Petition ban op

i also talked a bit with him a couple months after he disappeared from 2p2, and out conversations after the thread kind of contribute to my suspicions that this is him.

Im sure youre Aeppoker as well.

But lets look at the similarities between this and the Shawn Jacob thread

the shawn jacob thread -- a brand new account starts a thread with a very short post telling us he is going to be in vegas in a few days, and asking us to follow his adventures as he pursues an exceptionally unlikely goal -- making it in vegas with like 1500 bucks to his name

However, if I make it you will be able to join me as I experience the exciting life Las Vegas has to offer.
Any questions?
this thread -- a brand new account starts a new thread with a very short post telling us hes going to be in vegas in a few days, and asks to follow his adventures as he pursues a different, but equally unlikely goal.

the shawn jacob thread -- our hero arrives in vegas. But with all the pokering going on, and him getting settled and such, he tells us that he is going to have to demur from posting updates for the first week.

Hopefully I won't have to play more than 60 hrs my first week but we'll see how it goes. Honestly, the goal is to have a few big sessions early so I can have at least one crazy night out in the near future. It would also be nice to prove the naysayers wrong. This isn't as difficult as most people make it out to be.
