BrTarolg,
I ask you to read everything i'll write here (and i mean everything until you reach the bottom).
I know you read fast but i also know you like to respond after you read only a couple of words, so read all of it, the most important part is somewhere hidden.

Staked rdmr on pokerstars (rdmr on this forum) for limit omaha, starting at 5/10 and 10/20 games
First off it's me on this forum and not rdmr (no idea who he is but i do like his sn choice).
I had a feeling that would come up the way you deleted me from skype and kicked me out of the group.
It's not exactly fair of you to not notify me about this post so i wouldn't get a chance to defend myself.
I guess you're p!ssed because of some RL situations but you shouldn't take that out on me.
No don't respond yet and read all of it.

Stake started off well, i allowed him to play some 15/30.
Right, i made about 3.3k at 5/10 & 10/20 - started with 15/30 and made about 4.5k there and took two shots at 30/60 which we agreed on until i faced something i didn't even know was possible, a downswing of 400bb at 15/30 - and so i dropped 12k... I faced probably one or two close to 200bb swings when i was WAY worse or about average compared to other players at the game several years ago - 200bb is a recommended BR for flo8, well it was just a pure sick runbad which is still an understatement, so sick that poor stars support people got insulted badly and me wanting to quit poker and throw my pc out of the window, go downstairs and give the broken parts multiple kicks.
Tarolg somehow managed to calm me down and we decided to go back to 5/10 & 10/20.

However, he is an absolute degen, and despite making money, started taking shots at games that i specifically did not allow him to play, and ended up busto-ing his roll (and my money) at 75/150.
I don't know about the degen part, you probably mean i couldn't control myself to stick to 5/10 & 10/20 which is correct, i don't consider my shots "degen" tho.
So at some point i winded up taking shots from 30/60 to 75/150.
Overall in the stake i didn't lose money in those shots and made some profit which i put under the stake. I didn't mention it, probably because i hate people to see me lose while i should be winning, that way it was a better feeling for me which was more worth to me than a couple of 100's.
In the last shot i busted at 75/150 with the current stake money (we did several splits before that). Here are some of the hands if you understand lo8 and feel like puking or want to share my misery:

He then refused to pay back any of the money he lost there.
We agreed on that the money lost at the last shot wouldn't be counted into MU when i keep playing for you. Yea there was a lot of discussion going on about it but it's not the way you described it.

Wanting to recover some of my losses, i agreed (grudgingly) to do a 50% action stake at 5/10 and 10/20 games, which he has promptly bled and lost over time
It wasn't promptly, it took me some weeks of 1-2tabling my way to 3k+ hands. Half of that money lost was mine, 3k is no sample and it was 100bb which is half of a roll for that limit, needless to say i run like sh*t.
Quote:
Would not stake again, constantly whines about running bad in a low-variance game, incredibly impatient and takes shots with your money in high stakes games without telling or asking you,
The variance is almost the same as it is in LHE if that helps out some people who do not understand lo8 variance. Yes i posted a couple of hands per day, so did others and at least i converted them :P!
I told James (his partner) i busted at 75/150, it's not like i was hiding it at any point.
Quote:
Whenever i talk to him, he is incredibly passive agressive and is constantly making excuses and trying to appear as a victim/pass on responsibility
Passive aggressive?
Yes i let it get to me facing a 400bb downswing because i do have emotions.
Yes i berate other players at the tables for being bad because i'm an a** at the tables, but only there.
Yes i cry about running bad.
However i never was aggressive or insulting towards you or anyone else in the group. You're attempting to ruin my credibility here and yet i don't sound aggressive here, do i?
The biggest problem of this staking was that i was actually searching for a 30/60-75/150 stake:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/13...150-a-1074968/
You shouldn't have contacted me about it and i shouldn't have accepted it.
5/10 & 10/20 doesn't equal to my skill level (yep i don't care if i sound arrogant, it's how it is).
"But rdmr, why did you accept that stake while you're already a reg at 10/20-30/60?"
Because i like to spend money, imo that's what money is for.
I like to spend it, feel safe playing under stakes and at the same time choose when i'm going to work/play. I'm not going to lie it feels good and better that way.
So, this is gonna be the most important part (for you).
I'll be going to send you the amount of RB i owe you.
I know you've forgotten about it again. I was going to send it to you regardless of this post. You can ask James about it, it's only a few weeks ago i was talking about it with him. I could easily keep the 1-2k right here. It's also going to take me a whole day to figure out the exact amount because of how complicated the stake got with me taking 50% etc.
With that not being enough, the passive aggressive person i am, i am going to send you the amount that will get you and James even on the stake.
You will receive the RB amount before the year is over, i have to actually get to the 250k fpps first because i would guess you want the best equity bonus on it and not some shi**y platinum boni.
The rest i am going to ship somewhat later in case i don't catch a 1000bb downswing... good odds for you even with my runbad.
So who in his right mind would do that? Probably someone who still likes you after all, or a brainless degen... you decide that.
I don't care if you're going to still be an a** about all this, you will receive the money you've forgotten about and the money i don't even owe you no matter what.
If you agree that we both made mistakes in the staking deal (you offering it while i was searching for way higher limits and me accepting it) you're free to re-add me on Skype and to the group.
I like you, James and all people from the group.
So stop being a Bi*** and lets get over with this...
Over and out.
