Not sure what Colin's sn is. I read his book and it was ok at best. I expected a little more from it. I think someone should write another book on strictly husngs, but then again, dont wanna give away to much info to all the fishies out there.

Sounds like you've had more interaction with cat than probably anyone that's chimed in here so far..if you don't want to discuss this obv it's fine, but is the deal basically he used to play higher stakes but has fallen on (relatively) tough times? Have the games at his previous limits maybe passed him by or what's the deal? For all I've seen he's a solid player at the $100 level but nothing special.

As far as your analysis of the situation I asked for input on, you're basically spot on. This was a guy who every single time we played 4s together it was as a team, and whenever we accidentally regged for the same 1v1s together we just chopped it up and bit the $5 reg fee bullet. I probably should have said something on the spot when he said the whole deal about playing it out but chopping if we got to even, but I was already mildly tilted and him saying that just set me over the edge to the point where I was like 'whatever, this is bs..**** this guy.' So I went on and lost the match, but I knew that I wanted nothing to do with him going forward based on that.

Like you said, it's not something to expect money back from and even if every single person said I should demand it back I wouldn't, I'd just cease any relationship with them going forward. It was his decision, and even though some people can interpret it to be fine on his part, it was sketchy enough (imo) to avoid him in the future. It's a small sample, but my results vs. him since then make me plenty comfortable playing it out against him if need be in 4s in the future.

But if any $100 regs are looking for someone to run 4s with going forward let me know, as I'm going solo from here on out atm

rofl i used to do the same things with cat back in the day in 200s and 500s looks like he hasnt changed one bit.

WTF is up with Stars $100 tonight its constant reg vr reg battles theres like 5 of us and cat/rice keep sitting us.. craziness

PS-- Fabulous time for me to be running like ass

maybe i'll come in and battle u all after i'm done pwning my roommate in fifa

My gut tells me cat had to drop down to the $100s after getting owned higher but his pride still tells him he doesn't need to game select at the $100s. Perhaps I'm wrong but if not interesting to see how it works out for him..he sat me too.

Sit with cat and please post chat-boxing results.

cat chops with me... it wouldn't be polite for me to play him

SN liberty?

secret for now... i think you know who i am though, i'm a reg on $110 stars... in fact, i'm probably the most reg of all the regs

clue: old account got banned for talking about gold in the money and investment sub forum

KK liberty.... and cat is officially chopping me now... thus the short-lived war is over

edit: almost posted how lol it is to compare rice/cat to average 110 regs

but i wont

because they're better or worse than $110 regs?

what do u think?

probably better.... but when rice comes and plays, he'll 4 table... in which case he wouldn't have much of an edge.

but single table, rice and cat are better than $110 stakes

I'm going to infer from his use of the term "average 110 regs" that it's the first one.

obv if a really solid player is 4 tabling 4 opponents and a good/decent player is 1 tabling 1 guy then the roles might be reversed

your response reminds me of the first ever thing i learned in poker

IT DEPENDS

(but obv i wasnt referring to this example!!!!!!!!!!!)

how do u guys grind sngs? i play 1 per month and wanna kill myself after each and every one

-1 For chopping w/other regs and losing 6 CHOPS IN A ROW over the last 48hrs now

You should sign up for the ones where the blinds increase.

My wife hides the sharp household objects, no shoelaces in the shoes, I get the plastic drinking cups, kids get the glass, no rope or string longer than 3 inches anywhere in sight, and huge doses of Tricyclic antidepressants.
