This is the internet, not AP English.

I would comment on all the lawlzzz in that guys post.

But, he is the equivalent of a drunk termite shouting up to me. (Types like one as well.)

Package #2 will now be.....

Foxwood Poker Pro Still Mad Fund.

Also, get it right brah. I called off my 10bbstack without looking at my cards. I wish I would have just folded instead, though. I have absolutely no doubt you and anyone else who is jealous of me will read every word I write in this thread or a book. You simply can not help yourselves and I do enjoy it as much as you probably enjoy my latest gaffe. If I was making up stories wouldn't I just lie about how I got eliminated and/or not talk about questionable plays or tough folds like the QQ or Ak hand?

The truth hurts sometimes.

I really didn't want to tell you all about the hand and face the criticism.

But, other times the truth feels real good.

Like when I wrote "Eat, Sleep, Break The Streak" and knew it would set jealous souls like your own on fire.

Thank you for continuing to read.

Will update thread in a day or two.

For what it's worth, Justin has played great (IMO) in the handful of times we've been in the same $1/2 game.

Your opinion is very trustworthy imo.

Excellent input Tuma.

Last year in the Little One Drop, I picked up AA on the BB towards the end of day 1. I had about 22BB left. Villian1 MP raises preflop to 2.5B and Villian2 hijack re-raises to 7BB. Villains have about the same stack but Villian2 has me slightly covered. I of course shove my 22BBs after the action is folded to me. Villian1 tanks for several minutes and then calls. It is pretty obvious that he knows I have AA and can't bring himself to fold KK and I would have called as well in his spot. Villian2 snap calls and turns over QQ and of course Villian1 has KK. There is of course a Q on the board and as it runs out and I head towards blowing another bullet, Villian2 tells me he knew he was way behind both of us but it was ok because he was playing with his money.

Until I read what happened above with OP, this was the worst beat I have ever taken in the WSOP. As a backer of OP, I have a new No. 1. Yes, I realize OP could have said he busted with A10 or something, but that doesn't absolve the play as unlike Villian2 who was playing with his own money, OP was playing with mine, plus a MU when he decided to shove his chips in blindly as opposed to playing the poker or shoving a few spots later himself.

I would have made the same mistake on my own coin brother.

Do not think the blunder happened because I was not 100% on my own funds.

In fact, twenty minutes before I felted I texted Puravida86 (he did so well in WSOPc events he got to play the freeroll in Atlantic City) and asked....

"When do I have an obligation to investors to fold into the money? How close do I need to be?"

He informed me that I was not close enough to do that and to continue to play my game until I was closer to cashing. Obviously, he did not advise me to call off in the spot I did without looking. But, if you think I am not keeping in mind that I am staked you are dead wrong. You have my word on that. Soon you will see an action to prove how much I appreciate the stake. Not just words. Check back in a few days.

Also, I think you losing your shot to have 66bb in the little one drop was a bigger beat than me calling off 10bb blind. But, you are entitled to your own opinion. I hope I can make it up to you one day and I'll be trying to real soon.

Tuma also saw my charts on our road trip to Las Vegas.

Take a deep breath McScrubbin.

^^^^

this doesn't match up with:


(brief interruption, this made me lol)






^^^ that.

to be fair, I've never played with anyone else's money/on a stake, so it's difficult to say how I would handle bubbles/short stacks. assuming my gambling personality takes over like it normally would, I'd be overly conservative.

that said, there is something to be said about LG telling the truth. he would have had plenty of time to digest, realize the gravity of what he did and how it would look before he posted, then he posted what he did anyway when the odds of anyone finding out that he didn't look at his cards are probably very small.

I don't know what happened with the other stake, the $10k win and all that, so I can't comment. but I can say that after a brief moment of annoyance, him being truthful would absolutely positively affect my desire to back him further if I had already decided the proposition was +EV.

but don't be shocked when the termites come out bc you're handing out free supplies of wood, homie...

I do mind when people mock someone I consider a poker friend's input on the current situation or when someone like Foxwood Poker Pro drums up a post full of drivel that no one believes because it is all a lie. I have a perfect credt rating in the staking communtity. Not one investor has ever had a problem with me handling their funds or having me pay them back. To say I am some sort of ponzi scheme is quite laughable and an ad hominem attack with not even a bugs leg to stand on. As long as people want to critique or outright rip on my poker plays they can continue to do so....but, as soon as I think it's not in good faith don't be surprised if I break out my own needle and have some fun myself.

100% serious about being a Walmart greeter if I go broke.

I will even have Grandma Marge visit me on first day and take pics.

I just extracted 7 pieces of ham from MCC's cold cuban sandwiches (no carbs for a while) to spite my jewish heritage and pay homage to the Sultan of Swine, and The People's Champ himself...!

I have also played with LotGrinder and I think he is one of the best Detroit regs mainly because at the very least he isn't open limp/calling his entire range every other hand, like most of the other regs and randoms.

That is honestly why I am infatuated with tournament poker right now. Poker is a game you keep falling in and out of love with. You start playing and the passion burns as you're trying to beat $1/$2 NLHE. You learn to beat that game and play it for a year. Then it becomes just like a job. Everything is robotical. It gets boring and tedious. Then you try moving up to $2/$5 and start getting thrown around like a young black female in a bikini by a Texas pig and get pissed. You fall in love with the game again because you have to in order to learn how to beat the next level.

I recently finally figured out how to beat $2/$5 and I admit lately it hasn't been as exciting to play. There is not much hard competition in Detroit. Not many people raising or playing back at you. These tournaments are full of competent backpackers trying to bang on you like a chinese gong and I am falling in love with trying to beat them. I am falling in love with the game again.

The parasites think my mistakes are their ally and I anticipate more will flock to this thread like rats running free down a dark alley. But, I promise this is going to end for them much like things ended for Batman when he thought darkness was his ally against Bane. I can't break their bodies. But, I am about to crush their spirit.

Lot although I didn't get the chance to invest, I think what most people are simply trying to say is, you could not have done anything "worse" than calling (so much different than a shove ) in the dark. Therefore literally any play you made (preflop)besides that was better. There is a difference between the local $200 tourney or 2/5 cash game and a tournament with 1.2 million dollars to first. If u say they are as loose as they were, then chances are u actually get your marginal shove hand in as the best hand. Stating omg I had 10bb is not only so 5 years ago, but again this is a live mtt with 1 milly to first, not something you want to equate to some standard shoving range in some of less importance.

Don't mean any part of my post negatively but no matter how bad ass you look or how much the people's champ is an inspiration, next time just fold that **** and shove every hand after button dark.

Yes. I agree. 100%. Attempting to fold every hand blind in order to try and make the money would have been a better play than what I did. I have posted no theory or even fish logic in order to try to justify the play. I have just posted the circumstances that lead up to the play and what was going through my mind when it happened. Me trying to justify the play would be like Ray Rice trying to justify knocking out his wife. Impossible.

To be fair he shouldn't have had to tell her twice.































Just kidding.

Tuma, are you bipolar by any chance? Serious question and not knocking you if you are.

I know you are friends with lotgrinder but you had a totally different story when you randomly PMed me when I was looking to invest in him last summer.

I've been in and out of mental hospitals the past 3 years. Thanks for bringing it up!

Sorry to hear, bro. Glad to see you're getting help. Wasn't trying to be a dick and hope everything is alright. End of derail.

Thanks and go **** yourself.

Likewise my friend

Tuma was originally upset I posted a letter he wrote me during our trip to Las Vegas in 2013 for The World Series of Poker.

For some reason I believe he thought I had vindicitve intentions for doing so...

But, I thought it was an incredible piece of self exploration and could be used by any degenerate gamblers or b-rate poker players with no chance of ever playing for a living to give up the game or gambooling in general.

Tuma probably still wrestles with this in his own mind and if he said anything negative about me you probably caught him on an off day.

Mike is cool with me no matter what he said.

I am about to go pick my girl up from the bar and will be enjoying my Saturday night with her. Tomorrow I will be visiting my Grandmother. Monday I will be back with an important announcement about Package # 1.5. For those rooting me to fail this is your time to rejoice. I admit I would like to be playing the Monster Stack right now. But, I ****ed up that opportunity. So, get all the shots in you'd like now and I'll be back Monday to Street Fighter II Championship Edition Zangief 360 Spin Pile Drive you all. Then I will play and blog my way into The Main Event as planned.

See you all Monday.

Same bat place. Same bat channel.

Don't bastardize my handle, hoss.

Stay classy.

I spent the better part of the 12 months after our Vegas trip in paranoia and psychosis. Even though I was starting to lose it on (and a lil before) the trip with you, it was actually a family reunion the week after I got home that sent me to crazy town. During that time I communicated with aliens and **** like that, and was also convinced you were out to kill me for no apparent reason. I probably talked some **** in that time, and if you ask around the sporting events forum or OOT you'll find out that a regrettable number of posters and mods have received babbling messages from me .

I kind of got myself healthy when I started working for Chipotle. When you came in to visit, I knew it could have been a coincidence, but also thought it could be two other things:

1) You still wanted to kill me.
2) You wanted to remind me that I'm better than fast food and I belong at the poker tables.

I decided I was done being a crazy a$$hole and received message two whether it was your intention or not. Working sucks, and I'm never doing it for someone else again.

Thanks for being cool, and I genuinely have no ill feelings. We should get a beer after your run in the Main Event. I hope to play that someday myself.

Mike
