LOL green you make it sound like 5/10 is rocket science.

Basically, don't play with people better than you and play with people worse than you?

Who can argue against that? Certainly not me.

It was never the argument, FWIW.

Did you mean to quote a different post there?

What I was trying to say is that people want you to believe that you can autopilot and crush a game with some basic rule of thumbs...and it's completely FOS in today's game.

Perhaps there is a place with player pool so large that players could afford to play really bad and swap chips for a very long time while not noticing that there are players who are just printing money...

I would like to be there one day, and I am pretty certain that if such place exist, crushers would not be bragging about it.

The system is not that simple to model as such ^

Or it's because you're not good enough to identify how to win and you don't see how well the player in question is folding because his cards are mucked.

Yes, it is LITERALLY an ATM. You seem so cynical about everything I doubt you even play poker.

And FWIW, I think true crushers would be doing a lot to look average.

Or maybe I am the ONLY one who actually plays poker.

literally never said anything about winning or losing or anything at all in this post.

I know you're a troll and you feed on attention but that post is about the names you give people and why not the people you should play against.

you spend 80% of your time on these forums either deliberately misunderstanding people to upset them or misunderstanding people because you are stupid and I can't decide which one is more sad.

It's the human element. Stress. Change. Irrational fear. Etc.

Human beings are not +EV calculators.

Ironically your posts are full of rambling and the posts you're replying to are cohesive.

Well, at least I know I am not educating fish in the pool.

If we apply your general attitude-approach of "so obviously logical..." to yourself, whose location is argueland and occupation is professional arguer, it's implicitly clear that you don't have a talent for arguing, as a real arguing crusher would never put that in their public bio. If Immanuel Kant were alive and a member on 2p2, would your bio be a part of his range? I think not. I also think he wouldn't have a million posts in such a short window as you do.

Once a fish told me that he noticed that I have been playing better...

It literally ruined my week.

If fish is telling me that I am doing something right, does that mean I am doing something wrong?

Playing 40hrs of live poker every week is insane.


Elaborate please.

See, this is why RP posts the way he does, and it comes off as trolling. Is it really that difficult to figure out why a true crusher would act average?

Read DGAF.

Now you're trolling me.

How do you hide the fact that you are a winning player?

So here is the real reason "10bb/hr winners" disappear before 1k hours @ 1/3:



That is a plot of a fake 10bb/hr WR line overlayed on the range of possible results of a +2bb/hr player.

So if 100 meh slight winners set off to track results at once.

At 100 hours, one or two dozen of these meh regs would report a 10bb+/hr winrate. And they would be on this forum and in this thread convinced that they and everyone they know crushes LLSNL

By 200 hours, we are down to a handful, but still significant number of "fake crushers"

By 500 hours, the heaters are over and we may only have one fake crusher left.

By 1000 hours, they are extinct.

The crushers don't disappear because they "move up". They disappear because it was an illusion to begin with. They are just meh players on heaters.

However, most people tracking results are players on short term heaters. How many times when asked about results do you hear "well I just started tracking again", or "my old data got all messed up so I only have my most recent 200 hours"..? This is all code for I am tracking my heater

And sorry to most ITT.. but this thread is clogged with heater trackers. And the claims of crushers left and right are completely based on insignificant hours.

There are only a few ITT with enough hours to mean anything. There are a few who have hours and don't post results yet have good WRs.. and there are many new players and many players who have enough hours but "lost" their old data.

bolded is hot fire truth


one of the best posts in this thread, I see that lost stats or just started tracking thing all the time

that being said





HEATERRRRRRRRR

3500 hours at $1/2 NL. 3.5BB/hr winner total. Every session except 1 that I lost my notesheet for on the way back from Vegas, since July 2008. Recent results are a bit better, but again "meh" sample size.

It's not the size of your winrate that matters, it's how you use it, right? Or was it "it's how you use your tongue?"

I'm at 14bb/hour at 413 hours. Looks like I'm the 1 in 24 fake crushers to still be standing guys.

20k posts+, 0 perm ban.

Now that's a brag.

Anyhow, been wanting to brag, but I haven't met anyone worth bragging to.

Don't make a big deal about it. Don't talk strategy at the table. I make a point of loudly berating the hell out of my dealer friends when they deal me a loser, but never make a big deal about a winner. Never talk about how much you're up. If someone asks how much you're up since you're on a big stack, tell them that you're in for most of it already anyway.

Yea, an observant reg might notice you cashing out a lot often, or not re-buying. But many don't.

Hurts. .. really hurts man
