based on my calculations, you're player0011. if a seat opens at your table, i'm snap buying in!

Okay tbh I was not talking about or thinking about those games. Your opinion makes a lot more sense now. Still think it's not as big of an impact as you think it is but everyone is entitled to their opinion. And without a doubt from a pure $ev standpoint obv not sharing things will always be > than sharing things, no matter how big the impact.

Yeah I didn't think you were suggesting that nor was I suggesting that (although I'm sure tgiggity knows that from my prior posts in here). Anyone suggesting tgiggity is just heatering and barely a winner (i.e. mirage) is delusional. For sure the games have changed over the last couple years and unfortunately I'm sure will continue to evolve as they always have. Even more reason to make good decisions and save as much money as reasonable.

+1, as always i appreciate all the genuine advice itt

Lie. Change the games for the better

And tg is clearly on a heater and he's overestimating himself as such just like literally every player in his position would do. He has made some awful BRM decisions but he at least has some understanding of these concepts. The issue for him is overestimating himself at a really high level where it can be a huge loss.

i'm still running a few k below ev at 500nl, so will be nice to make that up when i run good. down 7k in march right now, only -3k ev though.

most people would probably say this, but I think I'm a pretty good judge of my own ability. I don't think I've ever claimed to be an elite player. I just post my daily/monthly/yearly results and let those speak for me

re: brm, I've always taken shots aggressively. I played my first 200nl with less than 1k in my roll. I played 400nl (back before 400/600 merged) on a 3k roll. and I lost my first few shots. I'm well accustomed to taking very aggressive shots and losing, then grinding back up to take another one. I wouldn't recommend anyone do it, but I don't think it's bad brm if you can control yourself

it is indeed completely okay if you set and respect a stop loss during shot take

Silly to state this like it's a fact. Idk what his true winrate is at 500nl but considering he's playing regular tables and not zone it's not impossible that his actual winrate could be around 8bb/100. Idk what his true winrate is, no one can know that. But we know he's statistically likely to be a solid winner in the games. I don't agree with his BRM choices either but he's been pretty disciplined about not chasing the losses when it doesn't work out so it's not really a huge deal in the scheme of things. He's also young and has low enough expenses where being risky can make a bit more sense.

+1, i obv don't think his exact choices have been optimal but as long as he's willing to take the shot and be done if it doesn't work out there's very little harm outside of potential mental game stuff.

for sure the most important part of responsible shot taking.


not running bad. just winning slower

Think I've headshot you enough recently then again time to scope back in, When you win too easy for long periods you become overly confident/delusional, everybody want's to re-assure themselves they're a crusher because of X win rate/X sample. Reality is you learn nothing when you win but you will see the common theme when people are winning it's ohh playing so well/studying has paid off/I have a big edge etc. Now when people start losing it's time to change their strat/no fap/cold showers/study more/meditate/take a break. You have done well so far but you don't impress me. Let's see how you do once you face some real adversity, ''not running bad. just winning slower'' keep telling yourself that Mr putting up a big front.

point to me where I've said anything like that. I don't study when I'm winning or losing and I don't change my strategy/lifestyle because I'm losing. I don't know why I'm bothering to reply to such a terrible troll but w/e already typed it

I would say you're overly confident/delusional the other stuff was very broad which applies to a large majority. However since you're use to me personally attacking you I can see why you took it personal, what makes you think I'm trolling you always? don't act like you're doing me some favor by responding. Prove me wrong and let's see how well you do in the future.

Wasn't this about that 10k game you were in?



Look at you! Repeating after trolls. Love how it took you 2 days and 7 posts to come to the same conclusion as uncle Mzbourg. Stay in school kids.

Was enjoying the discussion until a couple of horrendous micro regs appeared.

couple? you can unsub yourself that's 1 less.

Anytime you don't say what they want to hear. You're a troll, you're also jealous, usually fat all though I got called skinny once, definitely live in your moms basement and have a very bad life.

Edit: You're also a virgin btw.

Horrendous micro reg started the discussion. You're welcome. Hope you can follow it all, Tgiggity seems to struggle a bit so I reckon you do too.

Have you ever given an intelligent conversation a go? They can be fun.

Great response, Unfortunately I don't think you're capable of one. Stop trying to come off as Einstein when you're really Forest gump.

The trolls are not very good at reading comprehension. Although they are quite good at moving the goal posts to fit their narrative!

Don't get me wrong, I find your posts funny, in that they're so pathetic it's humorous. You put so much hatred into your posts without realising the people you're directing it at are just laughing at you. I'd say give up, but it would take away something for me to do while taking a ****.

A+ for effort. But you will always be the guy who needed 24 hours and 3 pages worth of posts only to agree with what the troll said in his first post.

Nope 97% of what you said was still wrong just like it was before sorry, move the goalposts all you need to though.

lol. super funny to be told I'm delusional about my ability. you don't know me at all man. I've said many times itt I'm not an amazing poker player. just because my competition is weak doesn't make me good. tbh I think the #1 key to my success has been ability to judge my abilities and weaknesses honestly - and anyone who knows me knows this is true in areas outside of poker as well.

let me get this straight: you call me delusional and unimpressive while claiming I haven't faced adversity and I'm putting up a big front. but none of that was meant to be taken personal?

with guys like you, when I post another graph crushing in 2019, 2020, etc etc the response will still be the same: lEt'S Ce h0w U Do N der FuTUrE

ps: I'm 100% doing you a favor by responding. you feed on the attention, so you're welcome. enjoy it while it lasts

I was the best player in the 5k game that night. not always, or even usually is that the case, but when 2 fish, a whale, and 2 short stack eastern euros are my only competition then yeah, I'm confident I'm the best one. none of them would play me 3 handed or HU at 5k or at 1k despite my attempts


I thought mirage was the worst this forum had to offer these low iq low reading comprehension types are really sad

Honestly. You are legit the last one to talk about low IQ low reading comprehension. Legit the last one. Rapidesh comes across less ******ed in his thread or anywhere for that matter than you have these last few pages.

But rather than turning this into another 15 pages of my dad is stronger than yours. I'll accept I have a low IQ and am just a troll.

Also you're welcome. Other than making you thousands of dollars and teaching you simple math, your thread has never been more entertaining.
