You're the best.

Maybe he did, but like I said, the pic was a tough find (as an avatar he couldn't just right-click and search for it), and it's a pretty weird line to throw up the same avatar as another regular. We instantly got accused by recreational players that we were the same person and/or cheating, so it was a dumb play BS-wise on his part imo.

I recall him getting pretty irritated/belligerent when I asked him "wtf?" I dunno, it seemed like a defensive play to me, but whatever.

I went from $.05/$.10 on Stars to $3/$6 on Party/Empire/Eurobet in a period of about 6 months in 2004, off of an initial buddy transfer of $10. I started playing for a living in early 2005, got married, had kids, bought a house, bought cars, and got stuck on the endless cash-out to survive cycle where I couldn't grow my bankroll. I think my bankroll was never higher than $10,000 at any point in time during my career. That, combined with the fact I wasn't confident enough to move up if I couldn't even beat $2/$4 and $3/$6 prevented me from taking any real shots. So I was a LH reg for over 5 freaking years... Pathetic

I was beating the game for between .5 and 1 BB/100 pre-rb before the merger, but didn't want to move up until I was beating it for over 2 BB/100. Not sure if that was even possible, but regardless the merger happened and I went from being a .5 to 1 BB/100 winner to a -.5 to -1 BB/100 loser virtually overnight. It was weird.

x2ski....@ the LH levels the rake is just oppressive. Although I don't remember playing with you when I would play 3/6 once in a while, I doubt you could get your WR much better without moving up in stakes. With $10k and the rb deal you could easily have taken shots @ 5/10 minimum. Another 2+2r and I did a bankroll calculation assuming a pre rb breakeven WR and then adding in rakeback...3BB/100 WR for 5/10 and 1.75WR/100 for 10/20 and playing a mix of about 75% 5/10 and 25% 10/20. The bankroll requirement we came up with < $10K, and thats for pro player with ROR VERY low.

edit: You'd probably be closer to b/e @ 5/10 and 10/20 just because of the rake differences.

Definitely not me... I made it a point to be very polite to everyone at all times, although in front of my computer I was very vocally wishing death upon everyone all... the... time.

I also eventually turned chat off... SNAKEBLISKEN and JDIZ4SHIZ started becoming real jerks and I didn't want to deal with their crap everyday.

I think I was there for that... Very lol, and kind of backs up my belief that it was a wild coincidence I discovered his 50/50s on the Interweb.

I always kind of thought that, but was terrified of taking any kind of chance with my livelihood, having a family, mortgage etc.

The 1,000 BB roll and 6 mos. living expenses rule was always at the front of my mind, and I never got close to reaching that amount of cushion for $3/$6, as that would have been like $50,000... Who plays $3/$6 with a roll like that? Anyway, I never achieved anything close to that so I never moved up.

I always told myself if I only spent a month doing 100 hour weeks I'd be able to take a shot. lol... I barely got through 24 hours a week without killing randoms.

I know who you are talking about, it wasn't him....I remember that guy. I think he played higher than 2/4 and 3/6 as well.

Ya, waiting to beat it for 2 BB/100 was a bit ambitious I think. The rake is huge. Once I got out of those levels my WR shot up pretty quick. Although I actually think that was due to me improving my game a lot as well.

x2ski, 1000BB, lol, wow. I can't imagine doing this to support a family, must have been some stressful nights in there. Kudos. MH was the way to go, you were good enough to cut out a better living there, even on 10k.

Sailboats, you dirty dirty devil. I should have known.

Any ex-regs in the Southern CA area? I been playin the Oceans 20 three or four times a week this month.

never left more than $10k in my account. when my wife was on maternity leave and was only getting half pay i left $5k in my account. just hammered away at my 16-20 hour work weeks, and paying the bills was a breeze.

now it's countdown to busto.

Hi, GCP.

Love,

missmarpl3

anyone else on merge? if so, i'm sure i've played you along with the ten other limit players on the site.

funny story, i was about to pull up your hh's on hem and figure out how/why you were beating me every night. then i remembered i was lazy. then black friday happened and i never got the chance. now we're best friends.

injuredfish imo

haha.

yep, but can you figure out which one is me? I crush $2/$4 LHE!

who was SAYNO2GAMBLE?
who was TEXZONASONNY?

Nice playing with yall!

Its nice to find out the guy i hated the most was an old friend *cough* high.tops! Also m4rble, but i didnt hate you. Keep limping your Ace rag =]

Towel I didnt even notice i was beating you. Everytime you flop middle pair, you would just call me down instead of raising when I had top top. That would never happen vs anyone else!

GCP im at commerce everyday playing 40 to 60.

Now where is rebuy.guy? I need him to come and tell me everyday that he is running -34% EV on the river for 4.7 million hands.

Whinebus you out there buddy?

MY FAV hand

I claim to have had the highest $/hour on Cereus in 2010 or 2011 of any LHE 6max player (including INFORMER1) Can anyone prove me wrong? <3 HIGHTOPS

Does Lookoil count? If so, ur prolly not even close.

Bergen, betsy?

Zombi?

2011 I made 72.5k$ in 2.3k hands.

u got that beat?

Yeah I guess I should have made some stipulation of at least 20k hands or something. I bet heisenb3rgs 2.3k hands beats me. idk who zombi is.

I'm specifically talking at least 90% 6max play though. Cus it's easier to win more per hour if you're shorthanded, but probably you couldn't get 20k hands of 3/4 handed play.

so basically you have the highest wr of anyone with the name hightops
