Go play PLO.

Start with CAP.

Then 50bb runups.

Then Railheaven.

Then crash and burn again.

It will be fun.

Honestly 100bbs deep doesn't play that different.
Open tight, open ti 3.5x instead of 2.5x. Make your cbet on average 3/4 or 4/5 pot.
In mtts people open to 2.5x and nomally cbet 40-60% of pot. See how 100bbs deep isn't so deep anymore.

In cash most people 3bet pot or a bit less in position. Most people 3bet over pot out of position. In mtts nobody 3bets that big, stacks are effectively pretty similar.

Eagles what you're missing is that you're a lot better than the mtt pros you're talking about. A lot of these guys will never beat 2-4 and can make money from tourneys. I'm with you word for word on derek8 though.

And yeah derek8 tried to berate me in an mtt for such a standard play that no reg would call out another reg for. 2000/4000 w/ an ante of 500 and he berated me for shoving 79s from the cutoff w/ 28k. he sucks balls too

Some mtt pros would get crushed. There are definitely mtt pros who I have played with/talked to and I'm sure they are better at deepstack poker than a lot of msnl regs. Even nitty mtt regs would do grind out a small profit because of how badly people spew.

I wish I could switch to cash. I admire MSNL players who constantly stack it. Quite the skill to have in your arsenal

'Young Punk' Banned From Bingo Games

Stuart, FL (AP) - In the past week, a man, whose name is not yet known, appearing to be in his early twenties, has been ruthlessly dominating local bingo games. Playing up to 500 bingo cards simultaneously, the young man has taken what is to believed to be at least $1,000 out of the bingo community. In response to complaints that it was unfair for a person of his age to be playing in the games, the man claimed to have recently retired, but gave no further details.

Many regular players in the games, in addition to being upset with the youngster's constant winning, felt that he had a bad attitude. Mildred Wiley, 86, reports, "Whenever he won, he used to point his finger at the closest opponent and shout something like, 'Pancake Crushed!'".

Additionally, there were reports of the young man intentionally delaying announcing bingo to give false hope to his opponents. Milton Chester, 79, reports, "In one game, he was sitting next to me and I saw that he had achieved a bingo on just the fifth number of the game. He put a chip on the number, but waited for what seemed like forever before shouting out, 'Bingo'".

Having seen enough, Jeffrey Pollack, the recently-hired Martin County Bingo Commissioner, issued a lifetime ban at the close of business today. He said the young man would be allowed to keep the $6 worth of Jack Links' Beef Jerky he had won for achieving four simulataneous bingos, however.

NO WAI!
