Very nice Copter


(jeez.. calling him a Donkey.. smh)

Watched some poker on TV last night, a final table where one of the players names was Fish (for realz).

GlolG

Can we get Garick to infract GG for calling another poster a donkey?

Wow one of the times you have to tip your hat to the GOV they pwn you in a way you wish you could do to your enemy, before we shut these sites down lets make sure its around tax time so the honest players that pay taxes will feel the cold blade of uncle Sam in their spine first

then again the GOV didnt stop payouts

WOW epic feat Id hate to be the guy calling a 3 bet from you during this period I wouldnt be able to keep my nerves controlled at the table with all of that on my mind I would probably spaz shove TT just to release anxeity,beast

i noticed weekly games are often juicy, getting the bankroll asap to play that 5/10 every time it runs should be really good for you man

thats one hell of an upswing, damn donkeys


I took a bet with a 55years old rich "fish" that he won't lose 31lbs from 9th october to february 9th, he has 6' 239 currently, he has given me 1:3 odds, how +EV is this? #printingmoney

could go either way honestly. how well do you know him?

some people can lose a **** ton of weight if they cut a few simple things out of their diets - soda, booze, crappy bread carbs. add some minimal exercise and 4 months to lose 30 lbs isnt that unrealistic

granted, i'm not sure how well a 55 y/o could lose weight

I'd say make the bet on the smaller size so he will accept losing. If you bet like 2k or more I am sure he can find a way. He could probably cut like 10 pounds water weight on the last few days if hes taking it seriously. I think if you just bet a couple hundred its much more likely to succeed. Obviously this depends on what is a "big bet" for him.

Yeah you basically have to try to lowball the stakes and let him say that its got to be worth it, then try to find the minimum he would do it for. #propbetgamestrong

Ask him to hit it by 2/9 then hold it until 3/9.

Then that's a worthy bet.

i didn't think about asking in the contract to hold it one month, thats genius damn it...

yeah the amount is very significant (for most, he's risking 26k atm) since I'm not the only one who bought action. he is very wealthy, one of the biggest fish at my local poker room... Not rare for him to lose a K on a 1/2 (serious). I think it's a flip really. the money doesnt matter much to him and his lifestyle would have to change A LOT for him to succeed (restaurantee bills you wouldnt believe)... and chrismas period too.

Earlier this week saw him at the local room with a glass of wine and a bag of chips...

I'd gain 15 lbs eating food in front of him at the table...

-$2600 in <3hrs playing $1/2, $2/5 last night. Heater over.

Get em next time.

Might have to ease up on the 72s squeeze play though.

Damn homie. What's your stop loss? $2600 hurts but you'll climb out.

Now at -1500bb, variance is converging. Standard spots like 3! AJdd otb, gii on Td 9d 8h and lose to ATo. #toomanyouts

Dammit! scelsi making a serious run at my title. I'm gonna have to plan on taking a bunch of terrible beats this weekend.

I don't have one.

Many don't believe in stop losses. A guy I've known for over a decade had a helluva' lotta' fun in a PLO game earlier this year. Bought in for $500 at a table with several people he knew.

As they all enjoyed themselves, as if it were a home game, the guy slowly works his stack up the ladder in yo-yo fashion. He is not shy when it comes to taking risks.

He laughs at the lost hands. He laughs at the hands won. He laughs his ass off all the way up to 13k & back down to being felted.

He calls it a night, as the yo-yo ride took some time & the way he looked at it: A helluva' lotta' fun for only $500.00

That's my definition of playin' poker for fun!.

?

I buy random amounts at cage using big+small bills (usually 2+ max buyins) and forget about profit/losses until end of session. Losing pots generally doesn't bother me. I quit when I start making bad decisions, get tired, table conditions change. Been stuck 1K plus multiple times and ended up booking 1K+ wins. $500-2K is only two double ups after all. Admittedly, -$2K at $1/2 in a couple of hours stings a bit.

Maybe helps that I'm overrolled and have a job.

I mean there needs to be a number. All you bring to the casino, all the ATM will give you, everything you can withdraw from your bank in 1 visit and go back to the casino and play. It can be huge but it can't be DNE.

If your stop loss is equal to your net worth, I would think "DNE" is a valid response to that question and would be equivalent to saying "my stop loss is my net worth". I suppose a nonexistent/unlimited stop loss could be higher than your net worth if your plan is to borrow money when you're broke.

I don't have a specific dollar amount or number of buyins that I would define as a stop loss, but there is some point where I think I've suffered enough for one day/session and leave the poker room. It changes based on how I feel, how good the table is, how tired I am, how bored I am...stuff that usually dictates whether I should stay in a game or go home anyway, regardless of whether I'm winning or losing.

I don't think a person with good self control really needs a stop loss, I personally will almost always call it a day if I lose 2-3 buyins, but I wouldn't limit myself to that if the game is much better than usual and I know I can still play well.

I don't mean to criticize people who use a stop loss and feel it is the right thing for them. I also understand some people will think I'm wrong, and that's ok with me.

lol u guys are being dramatic.

I just keep playing until my Sugar Momma cuts me off.
