-200BB in 1500 hands

seriously

im amazed 28/21/******ed allstars dont forget to breathe and just die on their keyboard every day

player of the day has to go to riki71

oh no i outed a territag maybe he'll go hang himself now oh well

no its cool knowing wadsulator will make 150k a year as a professional gamestaller and i just played 4500 hands today and broke even


okay and just like that 85% off tilt

still i pretty much despise everyone on pokerstars who plays like a horrific tag. I think my goal for 2011 is not to move up past 5-10 or make $x but just to be the one that puts the nail in chipmovr's miserable luckboxing coffin

This was the weirdest hand of the day. Villain is Hedgehog. Hedgehog is pretty bad at thinking but far from the worst. When he 3b the river I didn't know if I should be cry-calling or fistpump 4betting so I just purgatory called. It felt weird. I feel like his line is really, really spewy but wtf do I know.

Maybe my line doesn't look like an ace high flush? I mean who clicks bet/raise any 7 times with an ace high flush?

Meh, its not horrible, but in situations like that, I always talk myself into capping because they can't put in another raise. Without a cap I would be less inclined to 4bet for sure.

Pre Flop: (1.333 SB) Hero is BT with Q 9
utg raises, HJ 3-bets, 1 fold, Hero caps!

utg is winning 33/22 reg, HJ is 55/35 LAG winning over smallish sample, there is a 40/30 in the blinds. Thoughts?

Depending on what the flop is I like it.

But the thing is if he could put in his own money and take 100% of his winnings why would he even start a stake to begin with? Daiquiri made a case for him getting more info but losing all of the stake money would be an indicator that he can't beat the game, not the other way around. So he would want to maximize his win when he's staked then end the staking agreement and go on his own.

Like I said earlier I do not know anything about the customary staking agreements. I'm just looking at this from what I see from my perspective as an Econ student. I think the case of him purposefully going busto to gain information without losing much of his own money would only make sense in the situation where that information would be worth more later than the amount he could've won if he had played his top game from the start. I find that case highly unlikely so I don't see much of what is called a principal-agent problem (when your and the stakee's incentives are contrary to each other). But people are irrational so...

yeah it wasn't really a comprehensive staking arrangement, it got complicated because I would usually buy 80% of his action so he could be "rolled" for the games (he's not primarily a poker player but I believe is capable of beating 1/2 nl live...) but I was out of town so we had something going where he "paid" me some money he owed me and the "borrowed" it back to be staked... but then he was losing and wanted to reload, despite not being "rolled" for it.

whatever tldr, but not a typical staking arrangement to be sure.

This was an epic day for me. I hardly ever play this many hands. I have no idea what 10k hands would feel like for 1 day, let alone 10 straight days of it.

What I'm trying to say is that in football you could conceivably make it to the national championship game without really earning it.
yes they did, but you wouldn't agree that a Butler type team that dominates a weaker conference is not on par with a mid-level team in a top conference? Obviously the Big East is a good poker conference, but the logic needs to work for both levels

+1 and congrats. I played 4500 hands today and that's either my longest or second longest day. I also have the luxury of 9 tabling which I'm sure you don't, how many hours did you do?

My graph looks yours upside down, it sucks way worse. I made $144 and paid $700 in rake.

11.3 hours. My brain starts to explode if I go much higher than 5 or 6 tables.

Yeah, comebacks always feel waaay better than losebacks (is there an actual term for this?) even though the net is the same.

No, because you also have to run as good as dr.olson for it to be profitable...
11-28-2010 , 01:54 AM
and it was then, I realized the differences between high stakes winners and small stakes winners.

Slowly, I am learning.

No.
You can discount AA/KK pretty significantly for lack of flop cap..

And the diamonds + 4 straight on river scares over sets from making that 3-bet sometimes.

River raise is my standard there

lol heis if you're gonna talk about a hand someone posted 260 posts ago plz quote it so I don't have to fish for it.
