***Official Stars Regs Thread*** - Page 993 - Small Stakes Shorthanded Poker

Not really sure what this means.

But yea, **** like this is annoying in the regs thread where poker discussing is occuring. I was considering not posting, but boredom got the best of me.

It means you aren't really responding to each other. Giantbuddha or whoever said that real jobs suck because your promotions/pay depend on whether have bad teeth. You respond by saying that having good teeth is actually has value in the workplace.

GiantBuddha's point was that he likes poker because his teeth are not a factor, and you respond by saying that good teeth are important for real jobs, which is only relevant to the "meritocracy of poker vs. real job" argument, but not really relevant to GiantBuddha's point. Then sethypooh says that teeth quality shouldn't matter in real jobs because he's a communist.

jobs still suck in the free world despite no-one giving a damn about your teeth.

9 people sitting around at 200/400 hoping sepl55 sits in. Meanwhile, he sits alone at 400/800 8 game. LHE players are pretty ****ing gay.

Hey Buddha! Don't really wanna bet against you, but 100k hands in 10 days with >0 WR seems sick. I'll also wager 100$ for motivation.

hmm, I didn't realize that. That is pretty gay, so I'll leave. I don't even know if he's bad, actually.

Rakeback pros aren't all bad, i.e., nl minstacker wizardofahhs:

http://www.pokertableratings.com/sta...h/WizardOfAhhs

http://www.fpppro.com/blogs/needbeer/index.php?pid=65

I start reading about how he's on pace for over 3m vpps, how he's played 5 million hands, and I'm impressed, but whatever. And then I read "In addition, I am currently going through chemotherapy. I've been told by many that the undertaking of this goal is not a wise decision considering my poor health. "

wtfwtf

Even though I approach poker differently than he does, I was inspired, by the sickness of it if nothing else.

3 50/100 tables each with a wait list of 10+. for the love of god people, just star new tables. there are huge fish sitting 8 deep on the lists. I hate you all so much

I also never understood why people join a wait list when there is a massive fish in the game and 8 pros ahead of them. Do they really think that 8 pros are going to pass on the seat before the fish leaves?

Okay, I'll do it. 12:00:00 AM November 19th through 11:59:59 PM November 28th - EST.

$100 jph0424
$200 TimoK
$123.45 AfriCola
$100 alip
$100 chezlaw
$100 bellatrix

All of the above confirmed by me.

I win if I play at least 100k hands of LHE $5/$10 or higher with a win rate of at least 0.01 BB/100.

I lose if I play fewer than 100k hands of LHE $5/$10+.

If I play at least 100k hands of LHE $5/$10+ but without a positive win rate, it's a push.

This guy is a pro shortstacker, nanonoko plays full-stacked, I think there's a ceiling at shortstacking that won't compare with nano's winrate. v impressive nonetheless.

He is currently in the well in the zoo:

I'll obviously have to make some stipulations for cockblockery and whatnots if it goes 5 figures. Otherwise, I just trust everyone. And I know Kung Fu.
