afaik no one is paying that much, but currently the market is skewed in favor of the buyers. No one has all the answers, but I have a source I trust who has it from insiders at Cereus that they honestly do intend to pay back, and are making progress towards that goal.

"this friend of a friend stuff" doesn't mean much to most of you i'm sure, but to me it's some information where the alternative would be almost none.

Strangely it is.

Hopefully this means we're moving forward with payment.

If that's the case, thanks for the extra month of playing AP

You know I was a member of your site SYR, I was LUCKYTENS234 back then.

I would really love to meet you, and had every intention of going this Saturday, but something unexpectedly came up.

Maybe you can come visit me in the Philippines?

Well I'm going to throw my hat into the ring here, although I stopped playing sometime around September 2010 to found a web startup.

Over the years I was:

BETAPHISH
FUNBAGS84
SNGLMOMOF2

I'd love to hear what the lower stakes regs thought of me. For the love of Christ, no amount of studying or coaching could make me a winner in these games after the AP/UB merger. Before then, I was very happy with the way things were going.

I think I remember betaphish back from my small stakes days....thought you were good/solid/tough. It's tough to beat the small stakes rake traps, but you had 100% rakeback if I'm not mistaken. I assume you are saying you couldn't beat them b4 rb, not after, right?

Yeah we played a lot Palo, before you moved on to higher stakes, leaving me in small stakes hell . Yes, I was always winning after rb, but before the AP/UB merger I was winning at 2/4 and 3/6 pre-rb as well. Afterwards, my monthly take started to slowly shrink.

If you look at my PTR it only shows results for SNGLMOMOF2, but you can see that post AP/UB merger things go downhill. Looking at a lot of other regs after this time period, they have similar graphs as well. Must have been much better UB props than AP props or something or other, I dunno.

Actually yes, and very hard to find one that looked legitimate (well, it took me maybe 1/2 hour worth of Google image searching. Then it turns out that another prop, MRDONKALOT, well apparently the pic I chose were HIS KIDS (well, one of them was his kid). So, he uses the same pic as his avatar. I'm like, "wtf?" and he's like "those are my kids" and, given the effort it took on my behalf to find that specific pic, there was like a 10% chance he was BSing me (seriously, I dug pretty deep for it), so out of respect I e-mailed one of the prop managers to remove it and was left with the AP logo for life. What are the odds of that?

I still can't believe all of that went down, as having that avatar with the name SNGLMOMOF2 was great... not that there's anything wrong with that.

And to MRDONKALOT, you have beautiful children:

I can't say for certain but I don't think there were many, if any small stakes or mid stakes props that won before rakeback. If you got 100% rb and beat the game you were soon asking to be a high host and avoid that lame schedule thing. So glad I made it to 30/60+ stakes before the merge, no chance I could handle a schedule...that's half the reason I became a pro poker player.

I played with you a good amount as a LH prop at the beginning of 2009, always respected your game. Solid and tight-aggressive. Would have liked to see how you would have done at the next level, MH. Any reason you didn't come up?

was betaphish the guy in 07-08 that would just bitch and bitch and bitch, or was that someone else with "fish" in their name. i cant remember now.

i remember before i was a prop, me and mrdonk had a conversation like this:
(completely unprovoked as well)


me: are those your kids?
him: yeah

me: those are some ugly kids
him: **** you *******

me: dont get mad at me because your kids are ugly

he said something about it being uncalled for. I thought it was fun to get a rise out of him.
