I think Stars must be monitoring what games I play in cuz I got an email advertising the FL tournaments tomorrow. I didn't get one for triple draw or NL btw.

It is because you played it in the WCOOP last year, I am pretty sure.

I only played one WCOOP event last year, the $109 8 game, and that was the only email I got.

Let me edit that, I just checked my email, and also got one for the 6max FLH event. I didn't play that in the WCOOP last year, but I did in the SCOOP, so if you entered in any of the tourneys the last year, I think you will get emailed about the corresponding one.

not sure which is more impressive. losing 30K in a couple hours in oct, or the 19K i lost in under a half hour yesterday morning

I lost 105k in 3-4 hours one night a few months ago playing in the softest 500/1k games in the history of 500/1k.

its all relative though

losing 150$ at 0.5/1 when I started out hurt so much more than losing f.ex 9k at 30/60 these days, and for me its not even close

I suppose so -- but fwiw I can slip into super tilt mode at 10/20 just as easily as I can at 100/200+. I don't know if this is true for other people. I'm such a raging tilter in general that maybe it's different for me.

I ship more than the bottom 95% of the LHE forum combined while tilting like a madman, man I play sooooooooooooo bad while tilting all the time you wouldn't believe while still rapecrushing the games because I'm a total boss.

I have serious tilt problems."

Despite it being harder to get back, doesn't everyone irrationally hate losing money to lucky donks vs. skilled players? I know I do!

meh, I'm pretty sure I'm the worst chat tilter in the whole LHE field on Stars. I also think I might be the most hated. Not proud of these things, but, there you go...

Also my PTR tilt score has been 100 for like 4 months straight

im the opposite..
one thing that i do kind of hate is when tight/ABC type players do something horrible and spewy and then pulls like a runner runner to get there. Cause then it feels like I will have to play them every day for 5 years before I get a reasonable sample size for similar spews

VPP's in Limit Holdem 6 max
Do these numbers pretty much fall in line with what you guys are getting?

Limit Rate Hands to reach SN
50/1 0.20 500,000
1/2 0.33 303,000
2/4 0.45 222,000
3/6 0.87 115,000
5/10 1.35 74. 000
10/20 1.68 59,000
15/30 1.96 51,000

I know it depends on how you play and how the rest of your table plays, but I am just wondering if these are good benchmarks to use.

i get annoyed when some doofus runner stunner ships big pots off of me only to turn around and gift wrap it for someone like Wads - it's all relative.

it's even better when every time you call them down with middle pair they have something awesome like a full house or quads

but then you watch others at the table do it and every time they have 7 high
