rapidesh123, the legend is back - Page 218 - Poker Blogs and Goals -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

its a real no brainer at this point rapid, deposit on ignition and grind the **** out of it, forget about stars man

and stop thinking about overbluffing or underbluffing or w/e massive exploit you always try to come up with, just play and take money from fishes with your good hands, and play a reasonable strategy vs regs

I'd certainly prefer a graph to his posts, that's for sure.

How can he possibly become a "legend" as the thread title indicates if he plays on Ignition? I think it's pretty clear that Rapid has fun playing poker and isn't in it for money. It seems like he wants to beat tough games. If he didn't, Ignition would've been done when I and others mentioned it probably over a year ago.

I remember OP saying he didn't care about the money, it was just a way of "keeping score". He wants to beat what is considered to be the toughest games (i.e. zoom) so the poker community can respect him and recognize him as a great player.

It's not about the money for him. It's about the respect and recognition he gets from his peers.

the interface is completely fine btw rapid, few bugs here and there when trying to see tables and what not but I mean it really really is a no brainer to play on there

You won't be moving to Ignition ever, lets face it. Otherwise you would move now, not when you have a 6k roll or at some arbitrary point in the future.

There are transaction costs here in brazil which would be at least 10% to transfer from stars to ignition, also why risk 50z on ignition if I already beat stars at 50z? Better to move when I consider taking shots at 100z and have a big enough roll that I can afford to split it.

Why do you need to transfer your current roll? Just take shots with small amounts of BIs on ignition by depositing. If you don't have $500 spare but you keep like 3k on stars that's ridiculous.

Have you given thought to Chinese apps? You'd probably have a higher hourly at $60nl on PM.

Have you ever heard of the Dunning-Kruger effect? I'm relatively certain it applies massively in your particular case.

Done. They are several steps behind and copy the game of others

How to implant it to the game. So we are over a million hands now and its all
Rb fault!!! He is forced to play Max 2tbls! He has to play nl50 even tho he is a rec, cant move up to nl200 where he has big edge because rake dosent matter anymore+ only player there with perfect river balance.(own words).
Give rapid a Gun and he shoots his own foot 1million times
Its a complete mess and its a very entertaining thread!
Alot of spice! Its prob for many a trashcan

Is this supposed to be a form of esoteric poetry created by someone with an IQ of around 85ish?

At least a million. 100k a month for a year is doable. And if you two wager it's based on your supposed skills NOW, so zero study would be allowed during this year to be fair.

3bb/100 over 300k+ hands. I'm obviously a winning player at 50z. How could I run my bankroll up to $14k if I couldn't beat 50z?(over 500k hands)

Maybe I'm just a losing player and all my profits come from rungood. Yeah.

You don't beat it though. You break even while collecting a tiny amount in rakeback.

technically if your winrate is 0bb/100 but you have rakeback, you beat the games, not for a lot of money, but you beat the games

That's an oxymoron. Humans invented what is the criteria to be the best at something, so you are directly or indirectly requiring the approval of others in order to be the best.

Rakeback is promotional or bonus money. You're not actually beating the game unless your pre-rb win rate is above 0. You're profiting, but not beating it. It would be like saying a -3bb/100 loser with 0 rakeback is beating the game if the rake is 5bb/100.
