Why would you want people to know the truth about your skill level?

- If you lose 140 buyins in the next 3 seconds or in the next 3 years you still lost 140 buyins. Microstakes is full of ****ty players and your downswing proves you're the ****tiest of them all.

- No one cares about your 13 to 93 sit and gos at your local goofball donk bad beat casino tournaments full of all of your fellow lonely virgin RPG clan members.

- You ran up a little bit of money to a slightly larger little bit of money and still at the end of the day lost it all. You're still broke and ******ed.

- Your logic is nonsensical and awful. Freerolls are for other drooling ******s like yourself and its a contest to see who can lost the longest without defecating on their keyboard and rendering it useless for typing in betting amounts and blinding out. They have no buyins because they are free and are for idiots like yourself that are broke.

- There aren't thousands of free rolls on full tilt for chris ferguson to play, but its nice to see that you were sweating him that entire time because you were too broke to get your own seat. At the end of the year though he still ended up with 10k and you are still broke and lost 140 microbuyins and have absolutely no reason to ever mention yourself in the same breath as him.

- You are a bad losing stupid idiotic poker player who doesn't understand the game of poker and has been told this over and over by 200 to 600 different posters on here over the last 6 to 20 months and like the famous saying goes, 50 million elvis fans can't be wrong, and you're apparently just too dumb to clue into that and think that the fact that you almost won a few really big free rolls proves that you're the next durrrr except for with 1/10th of the IQ and 1/1000000 of the net worth.

just wow.

lol

I cant believe some of the responses itt. Trolling a ritard is pretty pathetic.

Mike

I'm speechless.


Mike for Mod imo

This.

Your are not good at poker. Not a "decent ok above average good poker player" or a "6.7-7.3 out of 10" regardless of how many mindless posts you spew across this forum.

You don't have the mental capacity or wherewithal to successfully beat poker. I'm beginning to think you might be mentally handicapped by your complete lack writing ability. You can't string together a coherent sentence and you are how old ?


The saddest part is this is not a level or gimmick.

I feel bad for you.

so what's with all this bragging here...
you don't qualify in the post below, sir.
good players might go on bad runs, but they don't go broke.

I don't believe you ever gave me a clear answer when I asked if you've ever cashed out of a poker site, Mike. Have you?
lol, "value call." also, it's a freeroll. just shove and get it over with then fire up another. jeez.
seriously Mike, do you think anyone cares about your Grandparent Status?
you are associated with the worst poker players making videos on the internet. just Google "goofball clown donk freeroll video" and who comes up first? Try "freeroll videos" and who's second?
fyi: you ain't exploiting anyone but yourself with your play, posts and videos.
The "13 to 93 sit and gos" referred to the number of them you played, not the buy-in. It was poking fun at your habit of seemingly making up figures and ranges out of nowhere.
highlight of the post of the thread.

more gold...
I can't wait to finish reading this thread!

Goooooo Mikey!

Uhhh, where did I say all this???

Searching for "goofball clown donk freeroll video" on YouTube yields a bunch o' Mikey.

that's just ole' Mikey twisting your words and misquoting you. it's just his way.

mike was supposed to be my mentor a few months back but never contacted me. Is he not really as good as he says?

Dude I contacted you 2 or 3 times by email,and 2 or 3 times by AIM,and you never answered.So I gave up on you.I dont waste time trying to contact people over and over.If they dont respond the first 2 or 3 times,they can either contact me,or I wont try to contact them again for a very long while,and then if no responses keep up,then eventually I will give up entirely on contacting a person.

As for how good I am,my record(not to brag),which I havent lied about,and which others have confirmed here,speaks for itself.Which is 45 cashes out of 115 attempts offline at casinos in the $13 to $33 50 player tourneys,over last 3 years,and 23 cashes out of 57 attempts this year in the same tourneys.

And then I took $15 2 times and 2 times made $15 go up to $80 playing $1 18 to 45 man sit n go's at poker stars.Its also funny how this has been proven and then how some after it was proven who checked to see how I was doing,would say "mike I sharkscoped you and you are totally crushing $1 sit n go's" "you are becoming a good winning player"

but now after this bad run,I am all of sudden a bad player.Like monster bad runs dont happen to good players.

Well to show you all how bad it has been I have made vids of 7 to 9 25c 45 to 90 man sit n go's at poker stars,where I have been donked out by donks and trainwrecked and coolered out by donks who totally played bad or the wrong way,and bad beat out an otherwise getting bad lucked 2 to 3 times per tourney and bad lucked out of each of these 7 to 9 tourneys before I cashed in 5th place out of 90 in yet another 25 c 90 man sit n go poker stars tourny.And I will post vids of all these tourneys,mainly for the reason to be able to say "see I freakin told you so,that the bad run is mostly bad luck with maybe a little bad play that has been happening after the bad run,and was caused by the bad run,and caused th bad run to last longer" "see I told you so that I can play good,and that its tourneys like this where I am bad lucked out that have been typical of most of the tourneys in the bad run" "See I really am the murphy of poker online,where what can go wrong does go wrong".

Also I hope you have gotten past check calling,or check folding,when you have 2 pair and a flush draw simply because there is a 3 card straight possibilty on the board.And I hope you have gotten over your fear of raising.


Mike

Mike, a hypothetical question:

How long would your bad run have to last until you would start to think that maybe it isn't just bad luck but instead that you are not playing winning poker?

Actually we always thought you were a bad player.

the fact that mike hasn't realized that anthonyp44 is my gimmick account is hilarious to me.

confirmed.

Well lets think about this.There are those who have said that 50 to 150 buy in bad runs are somewhere between uncommon to common,and not as bad as some of the bad runs some of the way better players go thru all the time.So I would estimate these bad runs at about 250 to 350 buy ins lost over time.Of course these were probably large field MTT's.

Also Chris Fergusson has lost about 1700 freeroll buy ins over a 7 month period.But again those are large field MTT's.So if these other players lost 1000 buy ins,and Fergusson were to lose 3000 buy ins,in a 7 month time.that would might probably mean they were not playing winning poker and or sucked.The average split difference between 1000 and 3000 is 2000.

So since a person cashes a heck of a lot more often in Sit N go over large field MTT's,I would say that since I have lost 140 buy ins,that if I were to lose 75 to 100 more buy ins,that I would not be playing good poker,because 250 buy ins lost would seem to go beyond all probable bad luck.Yes it would still be possible to have bad luck mainly responsible,but it would be a extreme statistical probability anomaly.

If that were to happen,and I dont think it will.I dont think it would be a lack of skill per se.When I look at my game,I dont really see very many problems with the skills I do have.Meaning I dont see myself limping in all the time with stuff I shouldnt.I dont see myself shoving all in preflop in bad situations all the time.I dont see myself playing to tight or to loose.I dont see myself bluffing to little or to much.I dont see myself bluffing in bad spots some to a lot.I dont see a lot of bluffs not work.I dont see myself making bad all ins postflop some to a lot.I dont see me having some to a lot of bad betsizing.I dont see myself having some to a lot of misreads.I dont see myself having some to a lot of bad postflop play.I dont see myself making bad value bets and value calls,and or not making value bets and or value calls.I dont see myself leaking lots of chips I shouldnt.

Now for leaks I do see:Since I have added the resteal to my arsenal.I am still working on it,because I either dont do it enough or when I do it,I either pick bad spots,or do it more than whats good for me and my skills at this time.

Not sure on this one:Maybe limping to much.I try not to limp,unless its early tourny when the blinds are cheap,or if I have a big stack later in the tourney.I usually only limp if I have limpers in front,and have pot odds,and if I am in position,and only with marginal hands or better.Now most of the time limpable situations dont come up that much.But in some tournys they happen a lot and so even though I am limping right and ok,I am limping a lot,and thus leaking a lot of chips.I wonder if I need to stop limping as much,even if right,as much,in order to not leak as many chips,and in order to not get into to many bad situations postflop.

Making errors,mistakes.even though I know how to play,I make about 1 to 3 unforced errors,mistakes per tourny where I know not to play in such a way to make those mistakes.Most of the time,I dont realize I am making the error or mistake.Now usually these mistakes are usually very small ones,and not big ones.

Not sure this is a leak,but here is a example that defines the leak.Lets say I raise a hand to 5.5 x BB under gun early position mid tourny,with AKsuited.Now when I am called,I put the player on at least a generic range,if I havent ranged the caller yet.So when I am called in that situation,I am expecting the following range KJsuited,KQsuited,unsuited,A9-AQ,44-AA(not saying this is my range,just a standard range for micro stakes average players and fish.Now if the flop comes A 7 8 rainbow,I am now expecting the caller to hold cards they called with that would play into a 87 to card straight draw.And so if I check,or bet medium or pot size bet,and called,and a 6 comes on the turn,I am not putting them on a straight,because why would someone stupidly call a big under gun bet with 54,and then stupidly call a Pot sized bet on the turn hoping for a miracle 6.And since I cant see anybody playing that stupid.I assume they are not,and that its extremely unlikely,and ignore the 3 card straight possibility.And so because of that it gets to the river,and they show straight and I lose a lot of chips.This is also an example of what I call getting donked by a donk.These kind of situations seem to cause a lot of chips to be lost a lot.And have caused me be bust out of a lot of tournys,when I have top pair top kicker,and I just cant see how by the range they should be holding,and by the cards on the board,how in the world they can have my Top pair of Aces Top Kicker or 2 pair beat by whats in their hand and on the board.

But apparently I am not the only one who has this problem,as many good players,and pros,also have this problem.The solution would probably be to just give the donks credit when they reraise like crazy.The problem is,cant do that,because they could easily be doing that with hands that are worse,and that they errantly think are monster hands.And also if they are a smarter donk then most other donks,they could bluff you off your hand,if you were to give a donk credit for having a straight they really shouldnt have like in the situation example above.So this is a problem or a leak,in dealing with donks.

Now based on this.I think my play really hasnt caused or started the bad run,its mostly been bad luck,where I have been donked out of a lot of tourneys by donks.I have taken a extreme amount of donk beats,trainwrecks,legit bad beats,goof off clown beats,coinflip beats with me holding the pair vs the QJ overs.Very rarely have I been outplayed out.

But even though this started the initial bad run,the bad run,and the problems with donks,may might probably have caused me to expand the leaks in my game and create new ones accidentally,unintentionally,subconciously,without realizing it,to slip slightly into limping more,making more errors and mistakes,and overcorrecting,or over thinking,because of the problems I have described having with he donks,without even realizing it.

And even if that either hasnt happened or not very much,I am very much worried about that happening now,and happening if the bad run continues.

So thats why I need to be aware of that possibility,and examine my game,and sharpen up my game.

Because if this is happening or is starting to happen or if it does happen in the future,then thats not playing good poker,and is playing bad poker,altho not terribly bad or horribly bad,but bad enough to be not be playing winning poker

And that wouldnt be playing winning poker.And I have heard that the longer a bad run goes the worse this kind of thing happens to good players.And so thats another reason why if my bad run were to go another 50 to 100 buy ins lost,that would mean I was playing bad not winning poker.

And so thats the reason why I need to be watching my game and examining my game very carefully to make sure I correct leaks,sharpen and improve my game,play better,according to how I know how to do.

And so I think my bad run was is a combination of mostly bad luck,plus a little,to some of the other factors I have talked about.

Now what would really help me sharpen my game,and improve,turn my bad run around,is not people trolling and flaming me,by saying "you suck" "your a bad poker player" simply because in a HH that I have posted,an HH I will post and in previous old outdated vids,and in new vids,that they find 1 error,or 1 mistake,or 1 J8 limp in,or a Q9 situation where they didnt pay attention t the explanation of why I did what I did,and say "OMG thats crazy insane" "you suck"

None of that helps and is not wanted and or not needed.

What does help is when somebody looks at my HH or vid,that something like this happens.

"Hey mike I noticed looking thru your HH(or vid) that you limped J8 in late MP to early late position."

Person then shows me the HH or vid segment of the vid segment showing the offending limp in.

I look thu the HH and vid for background and context and to see if I have been doing that a lot and notice I also limped in like that only 1 othe time in the tourney.

I then say "I see what your saying,but heres the reason why it happened and why I probably did it.That doesnt make it right,just probably why I did that" "also I notice that I did that 1 other time in the tourney."

"Yeah I also noticed that and I was going to tell you mike about that as well.You need to be aware of that and not do that"

"Yes your right and I know,thanks for pointing that out to me,and making me aware of that.I will try to be more aware of that so I dont do that again.Thanks for reminding me"

And for situations where I am not aware that I am doing something,or if I think that something is ok to do and is the rightway to play poker:

"Hey mike I noticed you did or do or dont do blah blah blah,you need to do or dont do blah blah"

"I do or dont do blah blah,for blah blah reason blah blah.So thats why I do or dont do it,because I think its the right or wrong way to play blah blah"

"Ok Mike,But here is why I dont think you should do or dont do this blah blah blah"

"But what about blah blah about that part of blah blah,wouldnt that mean blah blah about blah blah,thats why I do or dont do blah blah"

"Well Mike the answer to that question is blah blah blah blah,so thats why you should do or dont d blah blah blah"

75 to 85% chance I wil say"oh ok I see what you saying,so your saying blah blah blah and that blah blah,and thats why I should do blah blah.Ok I will do or wont do blah blah then"

This is called logic,reason,based questioning,discussion,debate,conversing,convincin g,persuading.

And its what my coach and me used to do.And 70 to 85% of the time I am going to agree,and about 15 to 30% of the time I am going to disagree.And that even if I disagree,if talk about it later,by same person or someone else,after experiencing some of what they talk about.I might agree right then and there,or if a person talks about it,there is a decent good ok chance I might agree with it then and there

And this is what happened with me and my coach,and there is only 1 or 2 things we have ever disagreed on about poker,when he has gone thru this process I am explaining about with me.And we pretty much agree to disagree about that those 1 or 2 things.And tey are 1 or 2 very minor things that dont impact my game much,or hardly at all.One of them is about whether its better to have lots of donks,goofballs,all in freaks or not.

So lets follow my coaches example and use logic,reason,discuss,debate,converse,convince,pers uade.

And lets stay away from things like "you suck" "your the worst" etc

Because for 1 thing I and some others(its about a 50/50 split,or they are in the minority)think I dont suck.And before the bad run,how I was playing and the success shows I dont suck.

And so your probably not going to convince me that I would be or am sucking.And even if I were to be sucking at poker.Even if I were to agree with you,which I dont and or probably almost never ever will agree with you on that.Thats not gona change or help.Saying "you suck you suck" doesnt help at all.I have told you what would help.

So lets do what would help each other and lets stop trolling flaming me and others and stop saying "you suck you suck",or things similar to that.

tl;dr

Mike.. that is way too long and just full of garbage.... and get it out of your head that Ferguson played 2000 freerolls in 7 months. He would have had to play every freeroll that went off every day.. and even then, he might be eligible for what.. maybe a dozen that gave out cash prizes? I don't think he's interested in the winner take all Phil Gordon Final Table dvd freeroll.. doesn't seem like it would help him much.

Mike,

Who's better at the pokers - you or your ladyfriend?
