It's always logical to get upset at people playing poorly.

LOL. You want all the bad players to withdraw?

You're forgetting TheOnlyHuman. He's pretty good.

I don't really get why we are calling here. Seems like a fairly obvious fold or raise situation. He doesn't provide limper's position either. I could be way off on this, but looking for some input.

Blinds: t30-60, 9 Players
Your hand: You (t1900) have A3ss in the small blind
Action to you: Two limpers (t1800 and t2100)
Question: Fold or Call?
Answer: Call. You are late to act before the flop and are being offered a discounted price with a quality speculative hand.
This is a easy call, raising is terrible, now lets say the blinds are 75/150 and you have A3s in the SB with two limpers, then yes I would fold, but when the blinds are that low, its fine to call 30 to see a flop in that spot.

You are the biggest clown here. I know it, you know it, everybody knows it.

Somebody was mad he didn't make the list

btw if you are thefox23 you are a massively ultraloose spewfish and you should play MTTs or cash instead where that play makes more sense
06-10-2018 , 09:47 PM
Not mad about any list. The funny thing is I think I do better when I play in your games than when I play random fish.

Hi everyone, I concur with whoever posted that this is the nicest poker thread ever. (Until poker12's tilt posts today). I also haven't deposited on the site. I hadn't played online since black Friday and was skeptical, so I signed up and played a few of the play chip free rolls. After not experiencing any disconnects or other issues, I decided to try to build up the free $2 so I short stacked .02/.04 cash games. This kinda made me want to hang myself, so I only played once in awhile. When I built it up to ~$15 I started playing the Princeton and Rockford SnG's. Once I hit $30 I set the goal of getting to $100 and then withdrawing $50 to test the process. I've read mixed reviews about varying experiences. Anyway, after a mix of .50, $1, and $3 SnG's with a couple shots at the $5 Wade table, I hit $100 last night. I started the withdrawal process but haven't received an email from Global yet.

I'm going to focus on the $3 Huntsville's with some $1 Rockford in when I want to multi-table or hit a downswing. I prefer 6-max non-turbo and currently only 1-2 table.

Thanks to those of you who have posted info regarding your graphs and bankrolls. It's inspiring to watch players a few levels ahead to give me something to work towards. I'm definitely a rec player (regardless of my sn), but am playing more online now because I can't go to the casino as often as I was.

I don't chat at the tables, but look forward to chatting here. Run good to all who aren't at my table. ��

I've just been trying out some of the stt's on global and they seem quite soft at the lower limits. How is everyone tracking results without the ability for HH's?
I've done well at the sngs and cash, as I've grown the free $2 for signing up to about $2500. Beyond that, no idea on tracking. I haven't done anything to track other than my account balance. It's much different than having Holdem manager. If I was starting out and just learning I think I would miss it more.

Future pro, I also built up without depositing, after also not playing much since the black Friday mess (well, since getting tired of driving up to Canada anyway, I did that till the end of 2011) so you shouldn't have any problems there. My first cash out was less than 24 hours from request to money sitting in paypal, including the documents verification.

Welcome to the thread, man. And congrats on hitting the $100 mark. I recognize your screen name, so we probably played in a Huntsville at some point. I don't play them anymore, but I played 197 of them as I was building my bankroll.

Glad you found some inspiration ITT. Keep grinding, and I'll see you at the tables!

Your conduct on here in embarrassing. Even more so since you consider yourself a pro. If you're a pro, act professionally.

We've all been there before. I just try to keep anything that I'm thinking when I'm tilted to myself. I can tell why you got your chat disabled.
06-11-2018 , 03:54 PM
Is it still proper etiquette to check it down when a player is all in in SnG's and MTT's? I've seen quite a few players bluff and otherwise bet at pots so I'm wondering if my thinking is old school.

It had never been proper etiquette to check it down when another player is all-in. However, it is often proper strategy to do so. But do whatever you think is most profitable for you. For example, if we are in a hand against another all in player, and my 87s hits top pair on the flop, of course I will bet.

I think it's more about strategy than etiquette. That said, many of the players you'll face on Global won't care too much about strategy. You'll find a lot of fun players on there, so there are a lot of strange plays, suckouts, and many players who have no clue about ICM. It is frustrating getting donked out of sngs by bad players, but if you're a good player, and keep grinding, you'll make money on Global.

Poker one two LOL





I have been saying for months that this guy is a total clown. Begging for WSOP stakes after winning 69 grand on Global . Come on man . Real players know 100% that 69 grand is nothing and we also know for a fact that you probably felt like it would never end so you spent a ton of that dough on useless crap.

Its ok we all go through it . Bink some unfound money and then chunk it off in local cash games or online. I said it before and I will say it again . Embrace that 28.5% when Uncle Sam decides to stick it in you . You think Pay Pal is not going to send info to IRS ? They do it for Ebay sales . LOL. Yeah anybody who would stake you based on Global Poker success is just throwing money in the garbage can.

In fact here is a challenge for you . Take some of that money from Global and Fly to Vegas , Jersey or Delaware . Get a ballin hotel room . Deposit 5 grand into WSOP online. Grind for a week in the WSOP tournaments . Surely this is very easy for you to do given your baller status . Report back with how the true grinders on a true regulated site ass raped you for the 5k . LOL> . You could accomplish a few things . Win a bracelet , prove your not a one hit wonder, prove you don't need Global's hinky sweepstakes rng to save your ass every hand you play . Like I said you are a minnow in a mud puddle .
