Cause I'm on a break for a while.

Got SNE right? Time to play more $5/$10! Screw $3/$6!

Wadsultator in this thread!

too bad thetalker hasn't showed up yet, I'm sure the atmosphere would reach new heights

I think hes a 40 year old tilty degenerate gambler, Not the typical internet forum type imo

that didn't stop La Peste either

I still wouldn't bumhunt you. I mean there are like 40/30's and 80/2's out there. The only reg i kind of bumhunt is NthgbtRcks (or w/e his sn is). That guy is horrific and he helps train me in 3betting preflop.

Also, i never sit to the left of decent/even breakeven TAGs/regs, and bad TAGs ill sit on the left of only if there is some huge stonking fish also on my right- like 1 or 2 seats away.

Honestly, i would just concentrate on *seat selection* (table selection is really just a way to get good seat selection) and worry less about the regs.

A good reg cant really hurt you as much if hes on your left. Sort of.

Honestly i think it doesnt really matter at all in 6max. Most of the ppl who you'd like to avoid you are good enough to know that your presence in a game doesnt determine it's profitability. However i think having a terrible looking PTR is very very beneficial if you play HU.

Just yesterday i played a guy in a $200 HU SnG. When he's down to like 200 chips he starts quoting my PTR page telling me i'm terrible. After i beat him in the 3rd one in a row he finally realized i was owning his soul and quit me. I guarantee if my PTR wasnt such a trainwreck i woulda missed out on $400.

Also, one player i try to avoid is down 80k on PTR, so take that fwiw.


is that confirmed Wadsulator? Wads i u. And hate u . . .

Haha wow really? That must explain the wittiness, Wisdom is a virtue

imadamyay keeps leveling me, same as at the tables

read: I want him to repeat and confirm that he finds me witty cause my ego needs it so much :P

Ya welcome

ps. I hate you

Quick question about PTR I just recently started checking it out and plan to use it more for Motivation purposes to get more hands in and stay near the top each Month. Now on to the question do allot of people use it while logged into PS? Guess I am to much of a nit to take the risk good luck at the tables this Month all unless we are in a pot together.

Burn!

Sorry La Peste, that was a good one though.

Go easy on that.

What risk? They would be banning thousands a week if they were that bothered.

This is a rando internet forum, you don't know me, no guarantees, I won't help cover your lost BR if they take it, etc...

Months ago PS sent out some nasty e-mail to people who had PTR open while their PS client was running. The explained it was against their ToS, and that if those people didn't stop, they would take action. There was a huge backlash about the PS client being spyware, and PS backed down. They said that they might look into changing their software to make it more difficult for people to mine hands.

So far, PTR has only gotten more accurate and nothing more has come from Stars. You can see how many people here keep PTR open while playing. No one has posted about any bad consequence of doing so. The way I read the ToS, you shouldn't have it open while playing (or potentially ever). However, not having the information there puts you at a disadvantage to someone using the info.

If you mention PTR in chat and are reported, you will be chat banned afaik.

I make a point of only looking at PTR when I have closed down PokerStars. Whether or not they can catch me or not my opinion has been that I would be cheating if I did so, as it was aginst their TOS. Using the same logic I don't buy hands for PokerStars. I hope my honesty isn't costing me.

I wasn't trying to be mean I actually like thetalker when hes not berating everyone in chat, But I do still think hes a very emotional based player fwiw I still love him at my tables. Hes like a turbo aggressive Maria - the dump limps

As a 40-year-old degen, it hit close to home.

Also, we've played a lot of hands together. Welcome to the forum. It is both heartening and disheartening to see you and Wads show up the same week.

Hard to remember what game selection was like without it.

Although the other day I was playing with some guy that was losing like 9BB/100 over 20k hands so I marked him as a fish... he then proceeded to play solid TAG poker for about 100 hands... at which point he turned into a complete spazbot and openlimping every hand and spewing postflop. I guess the wife was playing at the start.

yeah it is interesting that stars is incapable of blocking their hands from being gathered by an outside source such as PTR. Id actually prefer they do it so that the players who take copious notes on player types have larger a edge. Yet they have no real way of policing it. I totally agree that not using the info puts you at a disadvantage , its sort of an easy cop out now that everyone know to man uses it. I dont like the idea of data mining. Kinda like baseball and steriods , i feel this coming to a dreadful end. So soak up PTR while it lasts. I have heard even tag fish and losing players tell me i have a nice graph in the chat. kinda funny lol. word spreads fast on interwebs.

I have some notes on players where I think that there are multiple people playing the account. That or the drunk/sober divide is large.

this is obviously impossible to prevent (currently). But yeah there are rumors of some of the highstakes accounts being like this. I think stars needs implement future ideas of ways they could prevent this from happening. Maybe they could actually confiscate player funds if an account is suspected of foul misuse like two player accounting.

Is march invest on 2+2 ?
