lol you have never even played with him yet you have a read on him

No, it's not about attention. I meant that 380 hrs is such a laughingly small sample size and I couldn't understand how it can be interesting for any purpose? I must be missing something here, please explain.

I have seen him play on video, followed his thread when it was active, heard podcast and have read countless HH's.

So yeah I have a read on Limon.

This is PG&C...it's a place people post basically a blog and update their progress on their goals they have set. He never claimed it to be interesting or even remotely close to enough hours to determine anything...however many people that read these threads like to follow that person's progress.

Oh, ok, got it. GL then, I will come back for reality check at 5K hours

I have mucked a winning hand in a small sidepot after being shown a better hand of a shorter stack. Dealers usually tell the 2 biggest stacks to showdown for the sidepot before the winner of the main pot is determined to prevent that sort of situation.

So aesah... Question is the EV worth it to spew in this spot vs limon for future balancing purposes or should we just be focusing in on rich la business fish? EZ answer to me- he is not donking this flop multiway in 3bet flop w out nuts literally ever in this spot- but then, you've played a ton of hours w him so you should know that



ILCD- you should go play with him since he is exploitable and "doesn't put in the work" like billy the kid

spot on.

Phone post. Sorry I said I was done talking about the hand, but I left out a detail that he only bet about 40% pot.

Dealers in LA are total trash. Absolutely horrendous compared to everywhere else I've played by like 1000x. Literally NEVER, ever count on them to do their job or you'll get screwed. There's like 3/100 good ones at Bike.

Played today, lost $1500. $1000 in standard/cooler spots, last $500 in a obvious fold spot where I had 2nd nut boat in a 3 way pot but given the action someone had to have the nuts. Pretty tilted.

LA total: $59101, 381 hours.

Thanks for the comments. I don't actually have any more cash at all on me after today either, still have $10k locked up in Vegas chips and I guess my ATM can give me up to $800 a day if I get desperate, so most likely going to take a short hiatus from poker to recover from downswing tilt.

3rd step of interview process with Riot Games on April 3rd. Probably going to spend the coming days getting back into practice for League of Legends, right now I'm playing at like a Gold/Platinum level which is completely unacceptable for the position I'm applying for.

Add me - Snamuh

I'm a diamond support/jungle.

How did you get the interview at Riot Games?

Do you have any professional gaming experience or accomplishments (LAN or online tournaments even)?

In the fair example, you are minding your own business when someone offers you something for free. ...Not having to lay thousands of your money on the line in order to get the free stuff. Yes, it's still turning down free stuff in both scenarios, but there is generally a much higher emotional and mental toll in the second scenario when things don't go your way. You don't need any fortitude to accept free stuff at the fair.

Well, sure, someone offering you a flip with an overlay in your favor isn't technically free money, but... it pretty much is, as long as your bankrolled.

Been rank1 in several different games, most notably WoW (worldwide) and Wc3 (USEast). Top10 in HoN (a very similar game). Although tbh I don't think it really matters. What matters is I used to be good at League, I suck now and need to get good again.

I hear u man this game is tilting as hell n especially when u keep losing 80-20 against very bad players, I'm in same situation as ur n planning to take a break too, wish u good luck .

It is funny as several people I know are running bad right now. I haven't won in weeks. $1,7000 downswing. I ran into Kunuk a couple of weeks ago and he said he was down a ton too. And two other pros I know at HP that I doubt you know.

BTW. As long as people like Amir, Richard, J, Sally, etc... see you re-raise Limon with 98 then there is nothing wrong with the play (long term of course). Amir thinks you are horrible and that alone is worth a fortune.

When these guys call Limon and he tells them who is in the game, and they do ask... do you think they want to play with Marvin? Igor? A or B Gary? Me? No! It is you and perhaps Dash. But then I have seen Dash needle Amir so perhaps not even Dash.

So keep up the good work and I will see you when we both get to the other side of bad run of cards. I have moved down to the $5/$5 at HP until things turn around. No LATB too.

PS. Played with Barry Woods the other day for an hour for the first time. Not much happened but he did basically called me a manic! So that was music to my ears.

Sent from my GT-P5113 using 2+2 Forums

Heh, Barry Woods was the opponent in the hand where we both mucked and chopped a $1000 sidepot. Not sure if he would ever lie about his holding, don't know him well enough. Think it was my first time playing with him.

Phone interview with Riot Games in ~48 hours. Been forever since I've done one of these... hope I don't blow it.

Just put up my first paid blog post with PokerVIP, where I'll probably move all my future "heavy content" posts. I plan on doing 2-3 articles a month there. You can read it here (leave some comments too!):

Hmm, in that blog post you say you love being a live pro, yet don't you have an interview for a 9-5 job today?

Nice post Don.

I think that Don can love being a live poker pro and also love being a 9-5 video gamer.

Yea, I'm pretty nervous since I haven't done an interview in almost 4 years now, but also not *too* nervous since I would 100% be happy continuing the poker routine I have going.

Although, ever since I was a little kid I wanted this position, so I figure I'd give it a shot, knowing poker will always be there whereas an opportunity on this level might not be for awhile.

Thanks for the comments!!

Hope the interview went well!
Loved the blog post, but there was a repeated error message when I tried to comment and say so
