mirage should get a solid temp ban for being inflammatory and then throwing insults.

Be honest with me. Does your brain really go “yep he’s jealous of me” anytime someone says something mean to you? I

lol of course not. what do I have to be jealous of? but imo mirage seems jealous of every successful poker player on the forum

I applaud you for your honesty. I’m confident most would’ve said yes.

Yeah, insane how people go nuts with cursing each other in such a short period of time. Even alwaysfolding which posts mostly on bbv feels bad with the amounts of cancer mirage, mzbourg and reload are posting.

I know you're better than that, reload, you helped me during a very tough phase (when I lost 97% of my roll) and gave me free sweat sessions that helped me a lot in coming back when I had a $60 roll. From what we talked, you seem to have a very good life and are a good poker player, why don't you put your energy on studying the game/grinding on ignition rather than troll people?

Your life is so good, you smoke weed every day, live in a paradise and are printing like crazy. And if online poker dies, live will always be there. Your life is probably 100x better than mzbourg's/mirage's. The only thing I would change would be to move to a cheaper place, $1.3k/month in rent is too expensive.

As a poker pro you gotta save a lot, you could easily find some decent place for $300/month, save and buy a sick penthouse in a 3rd world country for $250k$300k (one friend of mine sold his here for that price in a really good part of the city and it's A+). After 7 years if you invest the money you saved from just renting a cheaper place that should enough to buy that penthouse, just look at how sick is that!

I barely post on here but when I do it's pretty bad, I hate poker lol, You're one of very few people I have spoke to with voice, Shh people might actually start thinking I'm nice.

Lads, lads. Rapids made some strides over the past decade. Hes now incorporated the aggressive call into his game, which is a legendary move that I can respect. He's fearless, and is heavily rolled by his his father incase he goes busto. Moreover, he doesn't give up, no matter how badly he gets **** on everyday. We may be looking at the future 200z crusher in 2040.

terrible post, but makes me wonder if there will even be 20z in 2040

nah online poker is gonna die, AI is too big of a threat, live poker will always be around though

I'm more afraid of regulation than AI btw. Also just because some phds managed to make a good HU bot with a supercomputer it doesn't mean a random guy will make a sick AI by himself. I think botters are normal people that work by themselves with small teams at best, it's very hard for people like that to develop an AI that will beat otb redbaron at a 6-max table.

Computer power increased a lot in the recent years, but people still program like monkeys haha. If you knew how to program you would know how outrageous is the idea of developing a bot that could play 6-max at a very high level, specially by yourself or in a small group of people.

Also poker sites can completely obliterate all bots from their sites, the thing is that most sites just don't care - in fact, some even like the bot action, which generate lots of rake for them. Stars' security is very good, that's why there aren't many bots in there, if there is any bot at all.

It doesn't need a random guy to create AI. All it needs is several intelligent and dedicated people worldwide to make some AI, put it in a bunch of games across multiple sites and completely clean up.

Not sure how long we are away from this. Hopefully a long way away. But it's a frightening prospect if it comes true.

The troll crying about getting trolled. Tgiggity’s life is definitively 100x better than mine. After all I am from the favela’s without a father still paying for my bills and **** and no access to smoking weed all day. I dont even have internet........

Do you have another job other than poker? Where are you from, mzbourg? You post here for a while and nobody know much about you.

Exactly Rapidesh. Exactly.

You and I do have something in common though. I somehow after all these years STILL support Arsenal.

Why? I have no idea.

Roll is at $4.6k, no 100z tomorrow =(
Played very badly today, jesus

Some hands

H1: my flop call is soooo bad, I didn't have enough info on the guy to call him light in there, biggest spew of the day. I like the river though.

Rapid, you should really shot take $100 when you feel like you're playing your best. Having a $4.6k roll and not at least shot taking is a waste. You'll always have enough to play $50 and it seems you're a good winner there.

Not after today's session. Also I'm enjoying the tight brm, mental game is way better.

Not sure if you're trolling or not btw

I'm not trolling. Like I said, when you feel like you're playing your best. Don't let $4.6k hinder you moving up. I'm not mirage or others, I never said you couldn't beat $50. I think you do and I think you can do $100 as well which is why I made that post.

agreed 4.6k should be enough to take a serious shot at NL100 and possibly stay there if all goes well, just put a stop loss to move back down to NL50 if it helps your mental game, like move back down if you dip below 4k

Thanks, guys! If I the pool looks good will play 100z this weekend then!

Vaaaaamooooo

almost 5k roll? you're ready for 500nl shot takes imo/ime

I see the same people encouraging rapid to go broke as usual. yet apparently i'm the bad guy around here. lul
