LMAO!

wp sir, wp

LOOLL like the DOJ going to care

PostageDue is my 2+2 username. It's not my poker username. Check sharkscope: the last time that the PostageDue you found data on played was 02/02/2012 12:26 PM. Is that today? No.

But, haha, good job turning a bad situation into a joke about fish.

I'm mad because when I pay my buy-in and am very close to the final table with a mid-size stack and suddenly find my chip stack stolen from me, I think that's criminal. That's theft, pure and simple. 18 players left and you're in 8th place, with several stranglers down to their last two BB and then suddenly you are just removed from play.

Maybe the reason you're not angry is because you weren't close to the final table.

Maybe all you lost was the buy-in. I can see how you would think that wasn't worth any fuss.

Say what you want, Lock DID made good on this for me, at least to some extent. So for now I'm taking down the various posts I put up around the net.

Pretty sure by not posting your actual SN you just confirmed you are being a busto tard itt.

Put your money where your mouth is. I say my ROI is roughly 44% and that I can prove it.

You want to place a bet?

sounds like a good sample size

What sounds like a good sample size? I didn't post any sample size. You made a statement without anything to back it up. Well, here I am offering you a chance to back it up. You front the money, I reveal the screen name I played today's tournament under. I'll prove it's me by sitting at a table and saying hello. If the ROI of that account is about 44%, an intermediary ships all the money to my account. If the ROI is not about 44%, he ships it to you.

Simple enough.

We can choose someone trustworthy here to handle the cash.

I suggest $500.

We can sit together, and when you see what my screen name sharkscopes to you can either prove that I'm busto *and* win an extra $500 -- or lose $500 and apologize.

Come on, Larry, you have 19K posts and I have 16. What are the chances I can sit at a table with a screen name that sharkscopes to 44%?

Are you offering me free money!!!???

Ok, I get it, you don't really want to bet. That's fine. You want to make random disparaging statements about people, but when push comes to shove, you don't want to back it up. I get it. Don't worry about it, if someone offered to place a bet with me about something they obviously knew for a fact, I probably wouldn't take that bet either.

you dont get it

I will escrow this bet, minimum sample size 1000 games... Booked?

things just got real.

I don't play that much. I'm defiantly not a pro. I'm just a guy who likes to play sometimes. Sample size is roughly 250. I can't play 750 games in one hour -- and since the the game that lock let me get blinded away in hit plus playing another three last night in an admittedly frustrated state, the ROI is now about 43 not 44, with an ability score between 70 and 80. But with those numbers, I'm ready. As I said, I never quoted a sample size.

I'd have to check that Brow2821 is an acceptable intermediary, since I don't know him, but otherwise... I think a good intermediary would be someone who has good feedback in the P2P transfer thread and has a Lock account. If not I'm sure we could find another.

I realize 250 games is not enough to statistically prove beyond a reasonable doubt that I am a winning player, but it's enough to prove I'm not currently in the hole, which is what was claimed. Further I will state that my graph is not a constantly descending slope with a single big-buyin monster win.

250 games is like a coinflip?

If your roi changes from just one game...
your sample size is ****.

Emailed them about getting blinded down in the $530 and $215 events from the freeze and they refunded me the whole buyin it looks like. I didn't even lose my whole stack in them, so I'm pretty happy with the compensation.

The sample size is what it is. When I've played another 750 games it will be 1000. I've only been playing at lock a few months since I hurt my shoulder and it was healing and couldn't do much else. He can take the bet, or leave it.

I wasn't the one who came on here claiming how great I am -- he's the one saying how much in the hole I must be.

If he thinks 250 games is too much of a coin flip, then it would be wise not to take the bet. Of course, I think it's not wise to take the bet no matter what. I mean, I'm the one staring at my numbers at shark scope. It's not like it's a mystery to me. I know 100% what the outcome is. But if he wants to push the bravado, I'm happy to walk away with $500.

Come on. We all know what the outcome of this is. There's no way he's laying out $500 on a bet where his opponent knows the flop, turn, and river and can see all the hole cards. The outcome is this: he complains that 250 games is too small and come up with some witty line about how he must be right regardless. And, whatever, because I have other things to do. Play poker, raise my child, live my life. I've posted more in the last two days than I have in the last year, and barring him suddenly deciding to front $500, I probably won't be posting again.

DNQ

Thanks, but I don't recall asking you to set the rules of the bet. If you don't want to be the escrow, that's fine -- if he wants to take the bet we'll find another.

This is not about my ROI. This is about his claim I'm in the hole. Am in in the hole, or not? I say I'm not, he says I am. It's that simple.

Anyone can be in the black after 250 games...not that hard.

As I said, he claimed I was in the red without knowing anything about me -- how many games I've played on Lock, how long I've been playing poker for, what my knowledge is.

He made the claim, he's the one who needs to back it up. It's not my fault I've only played 250 games worth of online MTTs. Maybe he should have found out something about me before spouting off.

We're not proving or disproving my claims. We're here proving or disproving HIS claims.

At my current profit, I'd have to lose 400 buy-ins straight without so much as a just-inside-the-money win to get back to breakeven, at which point my sample size would be 650 games. Do you think that's likely?

But I haven't seen any posts from him, only from third parties, so obviously this is over.

you haven't really proved that you're a winning player either...anyone can be in the black for 250 games but have a negative lifetime ROI%

Never said I was going to prove that. I only offered him the chance to prove I'm in the hole.

And, as I said, I'd could lose 600 straight and still not be in the hole.

Maybe I'll come back in a year when I have 1000 under my belt and offer him a second chance to see if I'm in the hole. Of course, I'll know my sharkscope numbers then, too.
