Sir, you are too sick !

Very impressive good luck sir.

it's been awhile since i played sngs but holy **** 17% roi is ridiculous right?

Wes Welker has more talent than most . Do you know why you think of him like that? Because hes HUMBLE and MODEST. Something you should also learn about.

Sick sick graph, not sure if 17% is maintainable but what do i know... looks like u crush tho, gl in 2011

Wait wut? WD seems pretty down to earth to me from what I've read and spoke to him

Having your head coach tell you not to talk to the media doesn't make you modest.

And all NFL players have more talent than "most", that's why they're playing at the highest level of the game. But hey, troll on. Talking **** is the modest thing to do.

Just found your new thread here WD, followed your previous one and enjoyed the journey. Gl on your 2011 goals and I believe you have what it takes to get there.

I obviously meant he has more talent than most nfl wide outs. Im not trolling at all. I just stated my honest opinion based on what I read.

This doesnt sound cocky or arrogant to anyone? Sounds more like a diva wide receiver than a wes welker type. Im sorry I will stop ''trolling'' now.

Thanks J and Grim for sticking up for me But I do see how that could sound a little pretentious. I didn't mean it that way; what I was trying to say is that I'm confident in my abilities and believe I could be a great player if I worked harder at it instead of skirting by on ability alone. It was meant to be more of an admonishment of my work ethic more than anything, talking about things I need to change and improve on if I want to fulfill my potential. There's nothing wrong with believing in yourself.

Fwiw, Welker was not invited to the scouting combine, was undrafted out of college, and was cut by the Chargers as a rookie. He's 5'9 in cleats and ran a 4.65 40 when he was 21. Looking at him now, he's clearly a talented football player, but I don't think much of that is natural, innate talent that he was born with. I think most of the things he does that make him special - his smarts, precise route-running, sticky hands, hustle, and toughness - are things that he's worked hard at along the way to make himself the way he is. I think all of us - especially myself - could do ourselves a great service by following that kind of example.

Either way Ace, if you feel like following the thread, maybe you'll change your mind, and maybe you won't. I honestly don't think I'm the T.O. type, but either way this discussion is getting away from the things I'm trying to accomplish, so I think it's best to end it here.


Hahaha WP. Easy game, right?


Thanks guys. Yeah 17% is definitely good, but really it's just a number. It can and will fluctuate; it's just a figure in a snapshot in time. What it does do is give me statistical reason that I can be a really good player - but to actually be one, I've got to work hard and put in the time, and that's what this thread is about.



Today is the first day I get to really grind this year, so wish me luck. I'll update later tonight when the work is done. GL out there kids.

Meh day. Got in 6.5 good hours but finished out of the money in my last 6 to drop me into the red.

-$143 overall, but it felt really good to finally get the grind on and looking forward to coming back strong tomorrow.

Feeling great and would love to play more today, but have to go see a friend I haven't kicked it with in a while. Stupid personal relationships getting in the way of gambling on the internets

best of luck sir!

ya gl bro

Followed you're last thread so lots and lots of gl dude.
Looking forward to some strat as I'm really strugling when I get HU,to much agg or not enough keep getting 2nd all the bloody time,come to think of it even on the bubble wether it's normal speed or turbo I'm either hyper agg or hyper passive

How many tables do you play at a time?

Of course you've got to find a balance, but it's definitely better to be too aggro than too passive Esp heads up when the blinds get high, just be a maniac.

It's really just about identifying the styles of your opponents; if you're in a hand against a more snug or timid player, get aggressive and put him in positions he's not comfortable with. If you're in a hand with an aggressive player, you can play your good hands more passively and use his aggression against him by giving him rope to hang himself with. You should be able to play both ways, but the key is to figure out which opponents you should play which way against.

Usually 2-4, though I've began to dabble in 5-6 occasionally. I actually played just one table at a time for my first 1,000 sng's or so, which I think really helped my development as a poker player. It taught me to really focus on every player at the table and every play I made, and I slowly added tables from there. I strongly recommend this to any beginning poker player. I think one of the biggest mistakes players make is to play too many tables before they've fully developed their game.

Even now, I play far less tables concurrently than many grinders, because I have trouble properly observing and identifying the other players when so much is going on. If I didn't know how the other players play, how would I know what to do?

Great day today. Goal was 20 sngs, got that done in about 6 hours, playing 3-4 tables at a time and taking a nice break in the middle. Played well and ran hot ... my expected chip EV was ~30k, actual chips won was ~60k. Had a stretch right after my lunch break where I won 4 turbos in a row. That really set the tone for the rest of the day, and I also won my last one to finish on a high note.

Todays results:

Tournaments: 20 (15 - $110 turbos, 4 - $100 reg speed, 1 - $50 reg speed)

1st: 7
2nd: 1
3rd: 2

Total profit: +$1,864
Rakeback: $47.52
FullTilt Points: 1,760

Wow, cashed in fully half of them and won over a third outright? That's a good day.

Congrats WD.

Dang that's awesome! I thought I was having a good day. I ran really well until the end and hit some variance. I finished up 22 buy ins for the day.

ty ty!thx for that advice I might have to pick you're brains a few more times down the road.....keep on crushing gl.

You are missing out on more money than a little if you are only 6 tabling 9 handed sit n gos. You should def be doing 12 plus.

I hear what you're saying, and it is something I've been working on since I started playing full-time. As I mentioned, I started out single-tabling and have been slowly adding tables as I get more comfortable. It's a delicate balance between volume and effectiveness. I think it's important in adding tables to "master" a level before moving on, just like you would do at different levels of stakes. So this is where I'm at now, but I am definitely trying to expand my volume threshold now and in the future.

Hes not a preflop player like all other reg nits

Haha thanks Fresh. I definitely prefer to play postflop more than most sng players, but the turbos make it tough!


I was just down to 3-handed in a reg speed and I think I might have leveled myself on this hand. What do you guys think is the best play here?

The button is a TP fish and the SB is a good LAG reg.
