***HU SNG REGS THREAD*** - Page 404 - Heads Up SNG and Spin and Gos -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

what does it mean when on FT the rematch screen doesn't come up? sometimes it just says "congratulations you won $x, do you want to play another?" but there is no accept/decline rematch button.

does this mean they are busto? if so thats funny.

what i like is when i get luckboxed by a complete fish, i accept and they decline s8 away, moral victory imo

I have been getting that "Congratulations blah blah blah" screen a few times now lately, I guess it means they have insufficient funds to rematch.

i dont know yet if i will play, depends mainly of how much action i can sell and if i get vacation from my main job.

i plan to sell in in 5% blocks with 1.2 to 1 in my favour.
since there are 3 different currencies involved, i had to add a buffer because of currency excharge charges.
my rounded result is $325 for 5%, which should be fair.

this isnt official yet, but before i post an offical thread, i would like to check if there is some general interest.
i know i dont have the reputation that primo have, but since my name means a lot to me you can be sure im not going to scam you.
i dont know if there is a way to make it more secure for the backer, i dont mind signing a contract or something.

should i hit a score i would like to pay you out via bank wire.
so post here if u would like to buy a piece, but please note its not official yet.

I'm **** for volume but I've had three royals lifetime.

1) .5/1 LHE, I have QThh I flop the royal draw, river the royal, and villain c/cs with a straight on the river

2) 34 HUSNG, I turn the royal with KJdd, villain calls a turn bet and folds river.
3) another 34 HUSNG. ... the royal was ENTIRELY ON THE BOARD. Villains bets, I shove, he folds.

I lost that game.

I agree.

I don't think I've had a royal more than twice lifetime, and I've played a ****LOAD.

Of course, I tend to play royal flush draws pretty aggressively, so a lot of them probably don't go to the river.

They're upset that your matches take so long, so their rake per server hour is much lower on you than on the average player.

Hello. Made a couple of bad strategy posts, made a couple of no content posts, here I decide to skew that ratio a bit.

So I'll introduce myself: I play heads up poker. I find it enjoyable to win. My best to you all.

I really don't have the confidence to raise that 1% AND maintain that type of consistency to keep it there... so that being said 15% is way outta the question. It's 13% for me and no bargaining.. I'm also only looking for $0 - $2k bet so it's not going to be a large side bet or anything.. more so just something to inspire me to stay disciplined etc etc along the way.

Lemme know... hell bet me $50 and give me the excuse to try and win plz =)

I was shocked to discover someone sitting at a $34.50 SNG HU turbo on FT who has an ROI of 25% with 410 games.

Playing 410 games...$14,145.
Earning an ROI of 25%...your buy-ins back plus an extra $3,536
Getting a purple ribbon with the notation "GOD"...priceless.
