I don't even understand what people are trying to argue about here. What do trolls even think 'good' means? Poker is hard but not really that hard

Honestly, maybe you're having trouble comprehending this from my posts, but I find this all kinda hilarious. if bad regs wanna spend time reading my thread multiple times a day and waste their sessions clicking around the auto seat system, hoping to get lucky and get on one of my tables (which are almost always full)... I don't think I'm the one who needs to be worried in that scenario (and most of the time I'm also not the one losing ev). I'd bet money the guys who resort to this stuff are worse than most of the regs in the pool, so they're just as likely to take a seat from a good reg as they are to take it from a fish.

wow, what a whale, come find us guys still got one seat

Posts like this are weird, like do you think you've proven through your years of useless negativity that you have some kind of impact with your words? People read your rubbish and just think 'oh it's that angry dude that's not good at poker posting again'. Then when people respond, you go all passive aggressive and back out of any intelligent discussion. You have a fixed mindset and you have no credibility, you've found yourself as another Mirage.

As he said, he's just a troll. Trolls seek attention. Stop giving it to him. He has been here for probably 3+ years from me:

How he hasn't been banned for baiting/insulting in every single post he makes is a testament to how bad the forum rules/moderation is here.

This thread is a great example of the deterioration of 2+2.

There it is again. The reason you should’ve never dropped out of college.

Pony resorts to this stuff. Think he’s worse than most of the regs in the pool?

Why do you constantly mention intelligence whilst lacking it?

Case in point.

We can all agree that sharing this type of info is -ev which means less money for you. You also agree that you should be making good decisions and saving as much money as possible

Is bragging on 2p2 really worth making less money?

Explain how you don't lose ev by any reg below average reg taking a seat from a fish or an average reg

This is going to be good.

yeah OP I think you are definitely showing your inexperience here ITT - overvaluing your sample and undervaluing the value of game selection for sure.

I mean the fact that Ponty seems annoyed that your posting how good the tables are has made me consider moving back to Canada/ Mehico to get on Bovada. If a few EU regs do that it probably starts to have a none negligible effect on you.

People were bragging/posting graphs/winrates about the games/site years before Pontylad or any other Austrailian was allowed to play on bonition. 4 table limit, anonymous play, and using a hud thats only helpful for that specific session are obviously huge factors in why the games are as good as they are as opposed to other sites. How good you think they're really going to get in the near future when ignition implements antes into ALL of its NL cash games like it plans on doing? Should drive away a good majority of nits. If things really got that bad for OP online, im sure he'd have no problem makin some good money on the live felt if he chose to

I rarely mention where I play. the hh itself says Ipoker. the most common Q I get is either where do you play, or how is the bot situation on ipoker? but 5 pages of regs complaining that I might hurt their ev definitely draws some attention

Sure, I lose some ev if any reg (good, bad, bumhunter, w/e) sits instead of a fish. But with how the seating system works it's a negligible impact. I think it's been overstated itt how effectively regs are able to bumhunt this way, but regardless I'll probably be a little more careful about posting hh live since I don't really care when I post it. just tends to be conveniant to post within and hour or so otherwise I forget. it's extremely rare I post a hand within 20 minutes

like I said guys, I appreciated the initial replies making me aware of this, but at this point it comes off a bit like you guys are more worried about how I'm affecting your EV in the games. few of you seemed to care about my EV until you thought I might be affecting your EV.

ponty said as much when he claimed that I''m hurting his EV more than his ability to bumhunt my tables can make up for. I disagree that I'm having that kind of impact. if anything I think these kind of crazy hh (that are obviously super rare) help draw more ****ty regs/fish who wouldn't normally play that high but they see how fun/soft the games are so try it out. I know of at least one whale who's donked off a few k in the games after hearing about them through me.

Ultimately though, having a pgc is a personal choice that has nothing to do with ev. I don't calculate every life decision in terms of ev, and I would live a much more boring life if I did.

btw, go read any pgc: josemaurinho, benabadbeat, whoever. they all have ridiculous hh from whales on stars, whales on party, etc... there's fish everywhere guys, and most regs are well aware of their options when it comes to playing online poker.

+1

where did you hear about antes?

before this whole discussion more than half the lurkers itt had no idea where I play lmao. this whole "protect our ev" backfired imo

btw the hh I posted earlier was fake, hoping I got at least one bumhunter on a wild goose chase tho

I would argue the games being good is also attributed to the fact that americans play on there

Antes? Really?

Ben definitely known for posting about running games with big whales on them.


Not like it's mentioned 8 times on page 1 alone. lmao

This sounds very true. Ignore the extreme contradiction or convenience to your so far very poor case.

Just caught up with this thread. Looks like I'll be depositing on bodog tonight GAMES LOOOOOKIN GOOD! Going to tell my buddies about it at dinner tonight. Hope alot of 500nl tables run so I dont end up at the same tables!

thanks tgiggs! any chance you have an affiliate code i can use?

you're welcome, looking forward to playing you. won't be tonight. I don't play saturdays. (inb4 thread explodes about ev again)

itt: it's news to the world that americans are bad at poker

There are a lot of people who weirdly think people start a PGC just so others can give them advice (often very condescendingly) at every turn. This is true for the micro grinders/those starting out to some respect but tgi is not one of those.

I actually agree with you there, the softness of iggy is overrated. I watch 500 zoom sometimes and see the most ridiculous stuff. The other day I saw sb call a cold bb 4bet with T8o, and proceeded to go go broke with 2nd pair. And a reg call a 4bet oop with 26s, and go broke. Next hand he did the same thing with 89o and got stacked. Next hand he got stacked again in a stupid way.

Those guys made those plays because their superuser software was broken haha

anyone with a verified skrill account? have had $500 stuck on there for months and they won't verify me or send it to me, but they said they'll send it to a verified account for me. I'll pay 10% vig to make it worth your time
