Lilu7 ... stop talking shiiet yaaa dummy.. Otherwise, I will do a home invasion on you. I will cut the power to your house and the next thing you'll hear is me coming up the stairs with a pair of night vision goggles I bought in the back of Soldier Fortune Magazine. I'll pick the lock to the master room door, take a picture of you in bed with the +rep_lol, I'll take said photograph, post it on www.losing_sour_poker_players.com --- without the underscores --- Now that Lilu7, is how you actually headshot someone, sucka sucka clown.

Have you heard of the italian site dollaro? It's ran by the mafia, i used to play there for a while. A lot of real fish but also a LOT of cheating.

A lot of bots were like that 40vpip but perfect postflop play.


I also played on GG before it became popular, it was full of 40vpip chinese cheats at 200 and 400nl. ******ed preflop **** and then perfect postflop ownage. A lot of weird plays with A2o to a9o.(especially UTG)


But this is mostly well deserved for bodog regs, a lot of you have been shitting on everyone and acting as if you were good to have decent winrates when in fact most of you can't beat micro on regular sites.

Brokenstar666 definitely doesn't beat nl25 on party. Guy's made barely 100k in 9 years on bodog and he acts like hes good and scams people into paying coaching.


I still play randomly on bodog but the games arent much better than stars as soon as you hit 100nl. 25nl-50nl bodog grinders that complain about the games being hard and bots are just shitty players because its basically free money there.

look at this anonymous homophobic dork screenshotting his fortnight game itt

didn't i tell you to **** off months ago? pathetic.

thanks man

up 3 bi on the day, +5 bi ev. struggling to find holds but I'll take it...

If you considered folding here you should probably consider giving up poker

Yeah this would probably get you kicked out of their office or the interview ended early.

Also won't be long before all those amazing IT gigs are outsourced to other countries and then AI. I've never had to hire a programmer located in the US and doing so would've been pretty negative EV for me.

Not a pro-poker statement bearish on everything.

up $1600 on the day so far. played a satellite and got a ticket into the $200/50k gt on ignition. run gooooooooooood

there we go Tgiggs! Way to turn it around amigo <3

Amazing jobs don’t get outsourced and for good reason. If you stop learning in IT you will be unemployed. Eventually. Outsourcing sensitive jobs to cut costs doesn’t make sense. That’s how data leaks and theft happen. Are you a business owner w/ access to sensitive info/ millions of dollars? Or are you just a poker bum that wants a pio db or a web scraper? Big differences.

Unfortunately, AI won’t take over for a while. Humans will still have to work for a living for a long time. Change will be slow. Even if we had the technology today (we don’t) to eliminate humans, we don’t have close to the infrastructure, gov, economy to support such a shift.

thanks! <3

my friend works in IT and makes under 50k/year. in San Francisco. that's barely enough to split an apt with friends and eat top ramen. it's not a good job


accidentally fired a limit holdem tournament this morning. another guy said in chat he thought it was nlhe too. then another guy says he hadn't even realized we were playing limit lmao. every other new guy who joins is confused and asks how to play with just two buttons hahaha

What’s your point here? Is it his first year working out of college or something? He has a degree? If so, and he’s not an idiot, he’ll be making six figures very shortly (before stock options, 401k match, amazing benefits, etc). He works in one of the best industries in the best spot in the entire world for it.

3rd year working out of college with a ba. he works for the government so not sure the advancement is as lucrative as the private sector

Your friend isnt very bright

or some people value other things more than money. how crazy


had computer issues yesterday so only got in 200 breakeven hands. played another 1500 breakeven hands today. ran deep in an $11, 60k gt progressve ko but busted with 99 vs AQ vs AK in 20th. was for $300 of bounties and close to chip lead. ended up with $350 total winnings there. played a couple $5 mtt's but other than that just playing cash for now


graph of last 2 days:

Then you cant complain about low pay, splitting an apt and eating ramen come on bro

no one's complaining, just pointing out that you live in a fantasy world if you think easy 100k+ jobs just fall into the lap of anyone with a college degree. you often end up sacrificing your ethics or your personal life to make that kind of money.

You're making an argument about salary using a guy who, by your own words, doesn't care about money.

That's a weak ass argument.

All you need to do is to go to glassdoor and check out any senior or at least non entry position in IT and it'll be 100k+ (unless it's a very low income region). And if it's 100k+ on something like glassdoor, than you can bet your ass you can get more with good resume and negotiating skills.

I can't believe that we're still having these debates in 2019 with so much information publicly available.

I'll again preface by saying I don't think it's a good idea for most people to be pursuing poker as a profession these days for a number of reasons.

That being said, from a purely short term $ and happiness perspective, if you are actually good at poker it is obvious why it can be appealing to people still. Yes, with enough time and effort these higher paying jobs should be possible to reach for anyone decently smart/hardworking. They don't fall off trees though and for most people you will need to invest a lot of time and effort to reach that pay level. And tbh the hourly of those types of jobs are not even that incredible. The vast majority of people with higher paying jobs are having to work more than a 40 hour work week. So figure 2500ish hours a year seems fair especially factoring in time spent commuting etc. For a 100k a year job that's $40/hr. When you factor in benefits/PTO it's prob closer to $45-$50/hr. Again, poker has a lot of downsides to it as well and I don't think it's the best path long term for most people. But the discussion is a lot more nuanced than it's being made out to be.\

Also just as a side note, government jobs also tend to be a lot closer to 40 hours with really good benefits/less stress to make up for the lower pay scale. Sure most people can make more working for private companies but there's a reason you often see people leaving high stress/higher pay jobs to go work in public positions. Life isn't all about working and money. As long as you are able to save a significant chunk of what you make than you are fine.

gotta bluff with 5 high right? so unlucky he ran into it
