freak death in the family represents a heater?

good luck with the new role

Chapped lips and blood vessels. Yummy. What’s for dinner?

cousin on my wife's side, very sad but life goes on. quick and painless as well, just very unfortunate.

Please allow me to set a scene for you. You have been playing poker casually and have decided you want to take it a bit more seriously. You play for cheeseburgers and you do ok. You know you have leaks but don't mind working a bit to improve. So you hear about this social media type website called Two Plus Two. You lurk for a while and read the hand histories.

Then you lose a huge pot and it nags at you. You think you played it fine but figure maybe I'll run it past some of the wizards on Two Plus Two. You have never been to the Live Low-Stakes NL forum but that seems like the right place for you to post. You're a bit nervous but you lay out the hand and your thought processes along the way. You have to jump into a meeting and have a few things to do so you can't check back on your thread for 5 or 6 hours.

You log back in and see that your thread has 34 responses. "Oh man my hand must be really interesting!". The first response is a line by line quote of your original post. He keeps calling you OP and you don't know what that means. He is asking questions like "What were you wearing?" and other things that don't make much sense. You decide to skip over that response and go to the next one. Well the next one is a response to the initial response telling that poster he is a douchebag and should stfu. This is crazy.

You scroll through the responses and realize it is the initial responder breaking down every response to him with more and more questions. Like a ****ing onion this guy just keeps peeling back the layers of questions and asking deeper and deeper questions that drift further and further away from the original question. Finally the thread is locked and you still don't have an answer. This place is bizarre!

Congratulations! You have just met the Number 5 entry in the LLSNL Chat Thread Power Bottom Rankings-Richard Parker aka SeaUlater aka Amazon Prime akaa bunch of other names I'm sure.

Not sure what RPs deal was. He is now just a memory receiving the BanHammer a few years ago. If I recall the last straw was a fight with Skip about I have no idea what.

People highly disliked RP. I appreciated the troll game but thought he took it too far at times. He did most of his AIDs sprinkling outside the Chat thread in the strat. He could take a thread off in a tangent faster than Feelers could self-ban himself. RP relished it IMO.

He loved the AIDs bucket that is the Winrates thread. He did not like people that posted high WR and thought they were full of ****. Thus, MikeStarr was one of his last foils. I remember at the end his exchanges with Mike being pretty loltastic.

Incredibly, RP is still the 2nd highest poster in that thread despite having been banned 2 1/2 years ago. Here is a sampling of the type of response RP would provide should you posit a question:


Not much is known about Mr. Parker. We know he lived near Seattle and was a Seahawks/Mariners fan. I believe he was married with a family but honestly don't recall specifics. (I know a few things about him that I don't think were for public consumption so I will keep those to myself).

Anyway, I am sure this entry will meet with some resistance. I say to those people "Don't Care". Please to be sharing your favorite (or least favorite) RP memory for many many lulllz.

Ghosts from the past.

Any conspiracy theories on RP and the many faced crusher being one in the same?

Him and dgi you mean?

I mean I guess it's possible but I never read them the same way. Also, I know people have met both people.

Dream Crusher/NLAP he means

Ha, I've played a handful of times in Seattle cardrooms and always thought to myself "which one of these guys might be RP"?

Still vaguely remember posting my winrates at 1000 and 2000 hours (which were in the 9.5 bb/hr territory) and RP took a lot more cautionary view of them than I did at the time, no doubt because he was likely a lot deeper into the lifetime hours and realized how lol these sample sizes were. Now that I'm farther along, I'm only just beginning to realize he was very correct in his caution.

Is Slim Winona Ryder in Beetlejuice chanting old posters names 3 times? Zombies!?!

Gwishhe'dcomebacktopostinginthestratthreads,tbhG

Def not the same. Have met both IRL.

Have spoke to one privately on several occasion. Very polite and generally nice. Always struck me odd that the same person was/is running a muck in strat threads

Okay u guise. My prediction for #1 is Rapini because you simply can’t top giving the ****** pen designation to our thread.

Also would achieve maximum butt pain

Nowhere near the best read, but this always stuck with me as the definitive RP in a nutshell exchange (might include a cameo for another top 10 poaster) :



If it's all in good jest then just ****ing say so! Doubt it ever even happened though.

Don't recall a scuffle between RP and I before his exit but my list of scuffles is quite long and honestly I don't remember them all.

RP (and everyone else before they stopped trying) skewering Mike in 2016 was good memories.

Are you just going to post everyone that ever posted in chat so you can later say you were right?

RP and alts deserve a spot on the list, no complaints there

Yes it's not a popularity contest just the people that had a big impact on that abortion of a thread. There are some that won't make it due to recency bias or just that they were short term chatters

Different ethnicities

I don't see color you ****ing racist

I'm going with:

Slim, Skip, ilcd, +1 for the post reveal lulz

It has to be HWSNBN for #1

Slim won’t name himself.

the history of the chat thread can’t be written without DMW, Skip or Cali so they have to be in.

My guess would be Miami but there’s bgp and turtle as long term posters too

Cali is such an asshat AND has been long gone (thankfully) AND shall never b named - hopefully he will not b written UP in this thread
