3. I will snap call anyone that wants to offer me that bet. If I have any 100 tournies in a row and go 71-39, you pay up. If I never do it, then I will pay up. Takers please line up. From $50 to $5000 will be accepted instantly.
No one is saying that you won't have 100 tourneys in a row at some point where you go 71-39. Even someone with a 0% ROI will probably have that kind of a streak at some point if they play a couple of thousand tourneys.

Have you decided not to share your screen name? It's OK if you don't, but I ask only because you have publicly offered to share your progress with us, and this would make it more efficient to your stated purpose.

The key is this is my first 100 tourneys, so what I was looking for was to get a grasp on how solid of a run it really was. I don't have the experience like I do in the cash game. If I see a run in the cash game, I can immediately determine if it was good or not. If a guy runs at 20bb/100 over 20k hand, yes he is running good, but he almost certainly is a winner also.

So I was looking for answers like does this only happen to winning players? Can it happen to any donkey, and I could be a losing player?
Or somewhere in the middle, it happens a decent amount, but rarely to losers?

Never was I claiming or looking for a pat on the back. I been playing poker 8 years, and this is really my first 2+2 chain ever. Cause I wanted some feedback and info from players that had experience that I don't

And I guess I got it. And learned what I already knew. Poker players are pricks.
OK yes poker players are a hard bunch, and they have a higher ratio of pricks to nice guys than the general population. I grant you that absolutely. But everyone here was very kind to you, all things considered.

Folks are reacting to you because you have made at least one unbelievable claim (see my previous post where I called you a liar).

I won't specify when this bet ends, or how many tries I get, you just gotta put the money up. Is that okay?
This is exactly the same kind of bet pythagoras is offering, so only a fool would take him up on it. Excellent post breaking it down to hard truth, Nostalgica.

If I win 6 or more, you have to go one whole week without posting starting the moment I win the 6th game, and then you are limited to one post per day thereafter for a month from that point.

This is the first hand of the SNG. Never played villain before. Do I pay 1,230 to win 1,770 and the tournament? What range do you put villain on, how narrow can we make that range, and do I have at least 41% equity here against that range? Should I pick a better spot? After making your choice, give at least one or two sentences with specific reasoning.
I am going to exercise my privilege to bump this post as I have never in my life before bumped a post and promise not to do it again for a long, long time so as not to abuse this privilege and only because there was a large number of posts about pythagoras' brag post that my little hand here got buried hundreds of posts down in a matter of hours.

Pwned23: who?
EndgameP (Observer): uship
Pwned23: who is he
Pwned23: he cant be the best if i am
EndgameP (Observer): no I AM THE BEST!!!!
Pwned23: mehh this bet
Pwned23: i am thomas
Pwned23 (Observer): snap accept
Pwned23 (Observer): hmm
Pwned23 (Observer): interesting
Pwned23 (Observer): dont need to getego battle here
EndgameP (Observer): yes, its huge -ev compared to playing a random guy
Pwned23 (Observer): yes


Pussies and lol at sitting the best at 110s

pwned23 is pretty bad. Thomas is actually pretty decent, he's def got better as our games have went on for sure, and he probs is one of the better players at 110s. But he still does some weird stuff.

Ownersmanual is a joke. He starts getting mouthy with me after he sucks out/coolers me a bit, his confidence is clearly growing when he limps AA with 10bbs only to completely trap me with KK.

So he keeps saying, "wanna play turbo?" etc etc. Comes and sits on my other 200 table and quickly declines when he doesn't manage to suck out.

Then this comes up. The hand is pretty funny in itself, but the chat after just makes me cringe.

Obv i couldn't respond coz of my chat ban and i don't have the roll for $1,000 sng's, but this guy is delusional and i think it's incredible how he can think he has any edge or anything at all. Just beyond me.

I really don't see how someone can back him tbh. He's now losing money on SS but he acts like he's really good and talks smack to every reg going for sitting him. I mean if he can beat the game even for a small clip, then the last thing he should do is go to war with regs. He shouldn't expect regs to not sit him with his stats either. He should just shut up and play the game and then decline. Sit 2nd or when the lobby is free. Problem solved? ofc he would be a bum hunter then, but if that's the only way he can make money, then fair play.

It makes me LOL though when he says '1ks, hu cash" etc etc, i mean it's easy to say when your playing off somebody elses money right? And also "i'll get my backer to sit e1 of your games" LOL.

@Nostalgica
your posts about this exasperating story where really, really spot on. Unfortunately such arguments often fall on deaf ears, so it's like carring coals to Athens (I think in english it's more like "carring them to Newcastle" I believe).
Just wanted to note that, hopefully without raising the storm again.
