Honestly, no. Everyone got to guarded because of so many of us playing in the same game. Any more its just OMG "xxx Sucks" lol
11-30-2010 , 06:51 PM
its more me just trolling every single guy individually hoping to get exploded on. I'm a bit of a mental coach.

HINT: Newbman failed.

Wait, people are starting to play like Newman?? Might it just be, might it just be those 10 videos on DC???? Wait, might it just be, might it just be that he offers coaching on his blog???

I think it might.
11-30-2010 , 07:42 PM
no
11-30-2010 , 07:50 PM
perhaps reality is that only a few of you have valuable stuff to share and subsequently realized that you were basically coaching a group of weaker opponents and therefore stopped sharing

so life fish is a "group" of players who happen to mostly play in the same exact games in the same reg pool but they don't discuss strategy they just "blog" and talk on skype?

yeah that doesn't sound shady at all, glad i don't play on FTP with the best friends club
11-30-2010 , 08:17 PM
What's the complete list of lifefish members, past and present?
11-30-2010 , 08:31 PM
conspiracy!

What's wrong with discussing strategy? You mean you don't have friends you talk to on aim/skype/whatever about poker? Or are you implying collusion?

I think I might be the only poker player that doesn't. I don't think I've talked strat with someone on aim in over two years and I was playing mostly limit then. and I've never even used skype. is it a way to make phone calls over computer mic?
11-30-2010 , 09:03 PM
Yeah you can make phone calls with skype or just use it like aim or any other IM client.

it's also worth noting that just because pizzle has a perception that people should only take certain whatever line it was that spawned his post vs him after playing lots of hands vs him does not actually make this true.

if you get what im saying
11-30-2010 , 10:22 PM

i get what you're saying and agree so I'm going to post this PM I sent to skelm:

no problem, and again sorry that I took my opinion too far. that was posted after an all night session and I think if I had taken time to think about what I was saying I could have made my point/question without making it sound like I had evidence or proof that someone was doing something shady. if newman has any problems with it tell him to post up or shoot me a pm and I'll try to clear the air.

I brought up his name because I saw him make these adjustments months ago, and now I'm seeing all kinds of random guys that I dont remember playing often make similar adjustments. frankly I was just surprised becuase these were non standard plays and I didn't know how these guys would have formed a read on me so quickly. but I trust that you guys aren't swapping HHs or anything and I was out of line to suggest that. and its perfectly reasonable that these could just be attempts to play a more game theory optimal style out of position and have nothing to do with long term reads or notes.

again sorry for my comments and hopefully it's all cleared up.

you pay me good money and me love you long time

Pizzle, please post some hh's because I get this massive feeling you are seeing monsters under the bed. I constantly feel owned by you and I wish i could say I had studied your game enough that I could pass on info onto others but that just isn't the case.

Also, who are these "random guys"? Chances are I have no affiliation to them whatsoever.

some of them are life fish guys, some of them are aussies that post on 2p2 but may not even know my ftp name based on some of their responses to my strat thread posts in the past.

it's probably just monsters under the bed, and I'm happy to just drop it. again I think it is likely a case of a group of guys talking strat and coming to some similar thoughts/conclusions on certain lines to take in certain spots and it just happens that I was finding myself in these spots against people I didn't recognize. I think some of my thoughts on the subject might not be far off, but I was definitely out of line in the way I brought it up and shouldn't have posted anything that could have even remotely been construed as accusations of unethical behavior. I've reread what I wrote and I don't think I said anything like that, but my posts definitely did seem a little petty and bitter which is absurd because like always I run like god and get lucky at the tables constantly.

sorry again guys.

as to posting HHs I'd rather not. if it happens that these people lucked into some really good plays and they don't realize it than I'd rather not educate more folk. if it happens that they've made an adjustment that I have to counter I'd rather them not know what I'm adjusting to.
11-30-2010 , 11:24 PM
