She would have a better chance to clear the bonus than I would. I seem to lose money every time I am clear a bonus. It must be a sub-conscience thought that I know I will get more money when the bonus is cleared, so it is ok to lose money to get the bonus.

Or you can PM it to me. Muaha.

I'm the exact opposite. I always run so hot when I have a bonus to clear.

yeah, i would think having her play on your account would be a violation of TOS. should be no problem for her to get her own. i would email stars to though just to let them know whatsup.

the best response to their response to "i knew you were bluffing" is "whatever man, you know your terrible at bluffing, give it up"

verno, if she cant clear deposit bonuses then forget about them. just dont let her play on your account.

create her her own account, email stars to let them know whats up and dont play together. you grinding her account to get bonii is a terrible idea and is just not worth it, not to mention against the TOS

Don't worry I can't wait to more than you could possibly imagine to get back to grinding SNE (In before La Peste's smartass comment) but i'm not going back home where my setup is for another week and right now i'm teaching my brother how to play and 2/4 is a nice 1/2 structure for me to teach him all the basics, I want him to start out out 0.5/1 or 1/2 i'm not sure yet.

Who is that --HGII-- guy? Lord have you seen that PTR? Puts Dbeck to shame. You want this one on your left (or 2 seats to your left) amirite?
04-29-2010 , 01:36 PM
I like bonuses. I also like waking up and vaguely remembering that I played poker last night. PTR shows I played 1/2 to 5/T. And I won a small amount of monies. I went back and looked at a few hands, and I played a couple of them poorly. It is a lot of fun to play above your normal limit and I suggest it for everyone!!! I did have some great suckouts vs Stacy's mom and donated a few bucks to jfresh. Good times.

He plays a million tables which affects his ability to hand read and is super nitty. He posts here on 2+2 and I think he said he was a rb pro. He will pay you off with your good hands, but I don't actively seek him out to play against.

HGII = robii on 2p2, has a few posts last year in the SNE chase thread

he's not very good for the described reasons
04-29-2010 , 02:29 PM
I like him to my left. I just steal his blind and then he calls and folds the flop.

Etiquette question: Is it wrong to constantly join tables that are about to start? What I mean is:
Like there's this good guy waiting forever alone at some 6max table (below 10/20). A fish sits down, not to his left. While the 15 seconds to join the game are counting down, I join with position on the fish. It's like he was doing the waiting and I was doing the double waiting, because he won't play me HU. A lot of the time the good player even leaves. Bad etiquette or good game selection?

I call this vulturing, but it's good table selection, (but i still get to make fun of you for it) and i'm speaking as someone that starts alot of tables. I frequently sit there waiting and finally a fish sits, and before a hand starts one of u *******s jumps in with position, but i just think "well played" and then move to the seat to fish's right. (because i know that table's about to have 3 more fish join, and then i'll be the one with good position)

The only time it really tilts me is when you let me play the fish for 8 hands first, he wins every single one then sit in between me and the fish and i just want you to die a horrible death.

(ok, you're really only a vulture if you sit there hovering over all the tables that have single regs waiting, then jump in as soon as a fish sits. Which i have been known to do )
