pm me paisting if you want to talk, i can try to help you but for sure you need to be willing to help yourself aswell. dnt listen to the negative people, just pm me and shut this thread down please

anyone has paistings skype pm me please. regards, jamie bury

Well, that was...interesting.

Zero chance he shuts this thread down, he loves the attention too much to do that. Also zero chance he gives you his skype or listens to any advice you give.

oh man ill explain it to you this thread will continue as ususal: wait a few days/weeks, paisting posts a -2k$ "this month was really desaster" graph, or a few hands where he occasionally got it in good pre and we all laugh about it. that will be the content here until he goes completely busto any advice/help gets ignored by him cuz he knows better from a poker book he read 10 years ago. not just one... he read em all so he's an absolute expert in poker strategy. there's nothing you or anybody else can teach him he doesent know already

This session was a late night shove fest, probably the most insane I've witnessed. I observed him losing 160 bi.
At 2 around 2am I called it a day. God knows long this madness continued.

Whats the finnish version of gamcare?
Anyone?

Should of just emailed 888 but dnt wanna get involved with my poker account. Mods can u shut this thread. Its just promioting his gambling addiction at this point

It's abundantly clear he doesn't want help. He's mentioned that he doesn't think he's a problem gambler. Many people here have offered help to him for mental game, life, and poker but he doesn't want because he thinks he's fine.

While it won't help his gambling problem, I do agree that this thread being allowed to continue this long is pretty shitty of 2p2.

Sickest rake I've ever seen If you play on a site with uncapped rake, you might wanna reconsider your options. Unless you can play Paisting. Then a 10% uncapped rake with currency conversion and withdrawal fees is obviously fine.

5% up to 4$, but still horrible obviously.

$4 cap for any game is high, but for 2NL that's just a flat out scam. 200bb cap? I mean come on. Stars has a 15bb cap with 3.5% rake at 2NL. If Paisting just played there, he probably would have saved thousands in rake alone. On top of that, he'd tilt less since he could just cash out any time he got it in as a favorite. I find it mind boggling how he decides to keep paying 888 thousands in rake while getting 0% rakeback, especially after they've shown they give 0 ****s about people seat scripting and bumhunting him.

you realise they cap it in a 40 buy in pot which obviously never happens without Paisting ******ing shiit up? the normal rake in allin pots is 20 cents aka. 10 bb-s.

5% is high, but the 4$ cap has nothing to do with a normal nl2 gameplay.

It's ridiculous to suggest Paisting would save money by playing on a site with less rake, he would simply just play longer until he's dusted off those extra few $.

Yes, but that doesn't change how having a $4 cap is absurd for any game, let alone 2NL. I'm assuming if they cap 2NL at $4, they probably have at least a $4 cap for higher stakes games. Even $500NL on Stars is capped at $3. I'm just astounded at how much of rake trap 888 is, especially at micro stakes which are effectively 5% uncapped.

At least get more play time for his buck. The guy clearly likes to spew stacks, but I doubt he enjoys paying thousands in rake.

He's shoving $42 at a 1c/2c game with A4 off suit. Wow that takes it to a whole new level! Also lol, you have a $114 stack in the second hand.

This is just ridiculous. How 888 haven’t stopped this yet is beyond my comprehension. Poker sites have a duty of care for all players.. I believe they call it gamble responsibly..

Why are you so bothered about being a knight in shining armor? He doesn't want any help like that, otherwise he would have taken it up already. There's zero chance he takes any help or advice from you.

Imagine 888 caring at all about its customers

888 is the nut low. security, software, rewards, everything about that site is horrible so it makes sense that the biggest degen whale plays there.

So what. I hate people like you. Go back in your hole. This man has one, the right to gamble as much as he chooses, and two, the right to blog about it as he's see's fit. I don't understand you evil *******s who think a man's rights should be abridged because you don't like/approve of their content/actions for whatever random reasons. If I was a mod I would snap ban YOU for making such a suggestion.

Also

/defending the lunatic OP who has a right to both be a lunatic and post

Based on what premise?

They have no such "duty". The only "duty" is to make money by providing a service. Where do you people get this **** from? Should McDonald's ban some fat-ass customer who comes in daily to order 5 quarter-pounders, 3 fries, and 2 large milkshakes for himself? Of course not. This is exactly the same.

I have no clue where you people are getting these evil ideas, and why you believe you should have the right to abridge OP's rights. The whole lot of you should be banned.
