Galfond pulling the sickest comeback outta his ass in the final few hands!! epic

He had up and down straight flush draw. Sick.

I think I’ll probably be able to stick at 200z.
But I agree with DC that there are some 2/5 players who are extremely good players. Some places don’t have many games 5/10 and above. There’s still going to be solid players who know what’s up. Probably less solver nerds though, I’ll also admit.

would be cool!

+1. So mathematically ridiculous that he’s pulling this off.

I’ve seen a handful of players at 200z that I’ve also played at 100NL and I had mixed opinions about them. Some I thought were pretty bad, a few I thought were easily better than myself.
I’ll keep you guys posted though. Today I’m playing a few tournaments, so maybe later this week.

It's like when Lebron beat GS even though he couldn't get a job there.

gl gl Xtra

also, how? That would be cool. I don't mind if it's more difficult at the same stakes as I don't play on ignition in order to make a ton of money. Mostly want to get in a ton of volume via 2-tabling NLz and learning and improving from every hand I play.

also ppl actually folding to your 1.5x pot sized bets otr with their overpairs, after you c/c turn and the draw gets there is refreshing.

same play does not work in Texas. So instead I just c/c turn, lead 1.5x pot OOP when I get there ofc. (ez game)

LOL every third post is you trying to be impressive by dropping resume lines

Impressive comeback by Galfond but Bill Perkins is going to crush him!

that was in the past. I'm working on it homie. give it some time

when someone tells you, you can't do something, and you believe with 90%+ certainty you can it's natural to tell them they're wrong and why you believe so.

If you don't tell them why you believe so, you're a troll. Right? (idk)

yeah i view things linearly as FW would say, though. which is a life leak. for sure.

ex: Got GS interview at 18. And others, very close to the start of college which is pretty unheard of for most people. especially at a non ivy league. without haven taken any finance courses ofc. decided that it would be better to pursue later (19 etc.) when I had a better idea of what I wanted to do and some time to think about those things instead. considering a lot of my life was chess pre-college there was an adjustment period there.

By then though was way into poker. but otherwise i was a few years ahead of the curve. Based on what I have been told specifically too my chances were pretty solid at most places I flaired interest too. and definitely by now would have something amazing locked up, maybe even at my preferred location.

that being said, i don't view it as trying to prove something as much as respond to what people are specifically saying to me, in a thread meant for chatting.

sqwid transitioning out of high finance kind of speaks to my point. I'd rather just go headfirst into something else to begin with rather than vice versa. it has nothing to do with whether I'd be able to handle Wall Street or not.

but as with everything, I'm sure there are tons of flaws in my logic. it is what it is . I'm receptive to feedback but don't need everyone constantly trying to make me feel bad. I have feelings too you know. lolz.

*whiny kid gif incoming*

this was all pre COVID-19 too.

RtP you should start playing Streetfighter V or Super Smash bros. It's way more fun and challenging than poker. There's also just as much money in it if you're the best player in the world or even top 50. The community is also better overall imo.

thx for the rec. apart from the time I waste on here defending myself from hypocrites like sqwid I try to avoid experimenting too much with interests.

maybe to take the edge off though.

Seems like the opposite of what one should do when they're young. Actually not just someone who's young, but anyone at all. Isn't that what life's about?

Yeahhhh, just trying to get as much money as possible doing as little as possible.

I like your advice a lot. When they inevitably announce there will be a season, I'll knock on Harbaugh's door and see how I can volunteer. This is really good. I'll have you to thank if things work out.

LOL - no hypocrite here. Like nat said every other poast u make is either how ossum u could have been or how ossum you are gunna b. I have surrounded myself with highly successful people my entire life. When they are in the midst of becoming amazing at something new they keep it to themselves...they dont go on and on about what they have done and how it relates to what they are doing. they are like the Nike commercial. They just do it.

I don't know the ins and outs but you'd have to establish a connection to a computer outside the US, so use a VPN to connect to PokerStars. I assume you would also need a foreign bank account or foreign address for funding purposes.

This is proof that my mentorship is paying off and you will someday have a chance of becoming decent at poker.

I already explained to him why I react that way. Who cares, people like to surround themselves with people who are similar to them.

Ever heard of the law of attraction? as corny as it is, you have to see it to believe it. I’m doing everything I have to do, and will continue to do so, anyways. Which is the important part.

There’s more than one way to become highly successful. Not that you get that.

this is easier to do for people who are receiving guaranteed paychecks with benefits every month, regardless of how +EV they are compared to the average employee.

also, while I may sacrifice happiness while I’m at it I’m determined to not let people like sqwid be right 15 years from now. as much as it bothers me that I even care.

but yeah maybe if I have 7 figures floating around a few recessions from now.

I've heard of gravity yes.

sounds highly illegal rofl.

smh. although you and Spyu are the only regs that haven’t attacked me itt. and slim and miami

just given me constructive criticism and words of wisdom.

Is RTP the autistic one?

*personal attacks I didn’t instigate incoming*

but plz yell at me when I angrily respond to all of them

it’s 100% my fault.

*sqwid logic*

pokerstars software knows if you're running a VPN. you probably need to portal to an existing machine that is running pokerstars that is physically outside USA#1 and control said machine from your machine.
