Laziness factor. Pain in the ass to put them into rolls.

PS Wells Fargo has their own machine that you can dump coins into. It isn't one of those coinstar or whatever ones. It prints a receipt, you bring it to teller, they deposit amount the receipt says into your account.
Never seen them in any branch I've been in. Don't think I've seen any even behind the teller desk.

Every bank around here has a coin counter. If you have an account, you just walk in and they count your coins. They cash you out at no fee. The school here did a "twisted penny" contest where they needed to know exactly which coins were in the count, and the bank could tell them total $ and how many of each coin type. I think that one of the local groceries will count coins for free, but not 100% sure. I know several charge ridic vig.

open K2o otb, stuff like that
Exactly what I try to do when I encounter them but they still own my soul somehow. Maybe its just ultra nasty variance. Thanks for the input bc I was starting to wonder if what I was doing to counter this style was somehow a leak in itself.

Unfortunately, too many posters are busy rotting in their 2p2 regfish coffins to bother exploring the 60/5 realm. But hopefully he will chime in and your post can spark a deeper discussion on this matter. In the meantime, I remain skeptical, but optimistic.
I am incredibly interested in super unorthodox styles ever since I have run into these 60/5 crushers. Sometimes I also encounter them in nlh mtts(normally 50-100person mtts specifically) and they end up headsup with me after playing 55/10ish the whole tourney and I am just amazed. I am going to seek him out in the very near future and read some of his posts. Thank you for the informative response.

just got stacked, KK<77 all in pre for a nice stack fairly deep

however, I've doubled up + in the Main Event

Edit: it's fun to swap percentages with people in these things, alas, no player transfer
04-13-2014 , 08:34 PM
It baffles me that people choose to play MTTs when there are so many other options that are actually fun. This is really ****ing boring.
04-13-2014 , 09:37 PM
Yeah, you really have to be in the right mood. Like, there definitely can't be anything else interesting going on at the time.

I busted everything, and then a couple stacks of Omaha and holdem. Really ugly day. I wrote a ton of gross hands down, just give me 30 minutes and 14 separate posts first.
04-13-2014 , 10:20 PM
We need to hear how one of you shipped the donkament.
04-14-2014 , 12:06 AM
I did just cash in a free donkament for like the first time ever. But my stack is pretty gimpy. 350 hands in 7 hours... almost as slow as livetard play!

Really ****ing tired... this is dumb.
04-14-2014 , 01:42 AM
Finished in 42nd place... got all-in my KK vs AKs, flop axx. Woulda taken lead if I won that hand, lol. Won $1563... but I am poker point buston now, so don't have to do that **** again for a long time lol. Thanks for pointing out the tourney Elo! I owe you a magnum ice cream bar next time we meet at Commerce.

04-14-2014 , 09:10 PM
ya I thought 1111010 beat 113121110.
04-14-2014 , 10:07 PM
river was a king board was atxxk with 3 clubs. he had qcjx. i posted wrong initially.

anyway, quick update. down 300 at 24, 36 and 48 over 1500 hands. is it possible that limit holdem is simply an unbeatable game? i am quite sure i have played nearly perfectly for those hands.

False

bust ensuing rapidly

a8, qq, qj, a5, a7, aa, 33, q3s (pair and flush draw) all lose in a row playing 3 handed.

i mean, its 4-8, ppl arent really putting you to the test. flop top pair, get raised, lose. thats the thing, every hand has been really trivial and easy to play.

my went to sd is 30, won money at sd is 11 over 140 hands. like, its not possible to win that way. that includes calling twice when i knew i was beaten with aa raised on the river of 3477t board. and heads up qq raised on turn of 993k, mercifully he checked river. his stats were 41/29/2.5 so like, i cant really fold to that turn raise.
