Zero chance OP is not reading this thread. He's not posting because no-one likes it when Cassandra is proved correct.

Except no one believed Cassandra, and she could tell the future. Neither is similar, OP's fate is still undetermined and lots of people besides OP believed the advice ITT, it didn't go unheeded like Cassandra.

I'm referring to the fact that OP continually argued with the accurate advice he was being provided with, advice which seems to have predicted his lack of success as a pro. I think that's sufficiently analogous to use Cassandra as a metaphor.

So in your metaphor, 2p2 is Cassandra and 6betme is the world? Hmmm too much incongruity to use that as an analogy imo.

Wouldn't 6BM be the Trojans?

Anyway it's fine, no analogy is perfect. Analogous means similar to not "exactly the same".

Not sure 6bet me is savvy enough to know that it is possible to see when someone last logged in. The last time he did log in, he didn't post. His whole thread have has had him as the star. He didn't listen to what anyone was posting. It would be a remarkable change in behavior to care about what everyone is saying now.

Yeah but he wasn't flat broke at that point. Him ignoring everyone saying it can't be done this way is not the same as having to admit they were indeed correct. He wanted to rub it in so bad, that's why he tried and stayed in this thread.

Same. I'm disappointed that OP disappeared without any explanation. I'd feel better if we knew the reason why he stopped updating the thread.

Its quite obvious though: he went busto as 90 percent of this thread said he would, and now he doesent want to face reality when things didnt go as he thought in his own inexperienced quite stubborn head.

Its more convinient to run away when these things happen in life,very common human behaviour.

What's going to be amazing is when he finally does check this thread in 6 months or a year, and it will still be raging on. It has taken on a life of it's own!

The best part of this thread was that there would be 3 pages of people taking the piss that 6bm will move up to 2/5 or 5/10 next session and spunk his already diminishing bankroll and the next update would be like:

Lost $2k at 5/10:

UTG (fish) opens to 30, MP (fish) calls, btn (fish) 3 bets to 150, SB (fish) cold 4! to 430, I look down at KJo so naturally rip it for $1k, everyone folds to SB who calls with AA.

I believe that KJo is a +ev shove there, it's just variance and my 3k bankroll can withstand it.

Played Well, Coolered Again

I was waiting for a 1/3 game so naturally I hopped into the 5/10/20 when a seat opened. That might seem reckless to some but there was a guy playing in the 5/10/20 who I've played with once before and I saw him stack off light so I think I have more of an edge at 5/10/20 than 1/3.

2 orbits in this hand happens:

Decent young reg opens $60 HJ
Bad reg flats $60 CO
MAWG flats $60 BTN
Hero squeezes $345 SB with KQo
Decent young reg folds
Bad reg backjams $1250
MAWG folds
Hero calls $905

Bad reg shows AA and holds. I don't even know anymore. I expected him to have far more 77-JJ in his range than {QQ+, AK}, and with all the dead money in the pot, I thought it was a fairly trivial call.

Gold, probably would have included the 'since I block QQ/KK' excuse as well.

I thought some people in the casino saw him recently?

Possibly. But at this point, it doesn't look like he's going to check into his 2+2 account ever again, let alone this thread.

Lol, yeah that is one big epic post considering where OP is now.

But OP reportedly still playing. How much in debt is he at this point? Does he make $300k/year already? Does his girlfriend still have her phone? Anyone in the region willing to inquire in the casino?

I'm laughing way too hard at this rn. Every time I open a thread and there's a hilarious post by a guy with no avatar I don't even have to look at the name - it's always Kelvis. I almost posted this in a different thread, decided not to, opened this thread up and started busting up laughing again so I had to post. #kelvisforpresident
