Locked outta PLO. LOLOL.



Re: the net loss, I am getting 40% rakeback, and trolling 4 a bonus.
But still, dayum.

I think you are wrong there.
While the typical grinder isn't going to be 'the next Durrr' as you put it, that doesn't mean the typical grinder doesn't want to be the next Durrr (or at least earn that much money from poker)

Not ever footballer is going to be the next Pele, not ever basketball player will be the next Jordan, just as not every lottery ticket player will be the next lotto multi millionaire... but it is the fact that opportunity to 'make it big' exists that motivates/inspires many.

In the new 'casino poker' that these smaller sites are trying to present, the only goal is to reduce winning players so that the site alone wins.

If Durr and Phil Ivey et al could only win $750 a week what a joke that would be.

Who exactly is going to want to play poker if the biggest stars of the game earn less than joe sixpack the truck driver?

is there any rule against playing on multiple skins on everleaf?

You may only have 1 active account on the ELG network.

thanks for that

Looks like that software was made with paint.exe in 1994.

as much as i wish this was true, its not. this is the motivation for the grinders which are only maybe the top 5-10% of players, the fish are not trying to be the next ivey they just like to gamble and poker is more fun than table games because there is more interaction and strategy. it never even enters a fish's head to think about possibly playing the game for a living or making some money each month, its just a fun way to blow their money. winning a tournament is just winning the lottery with some more prestige.

go play live for a while with some regulars, it may open your eyes to exactly who plays poker. see who gets invited to their private home games. its not the sharks, minus the well disguised LAGs and charming hustlers

wrong.

Not sure where the notion that fish are just clueless ******s who exist solely to donate to regs and have no aspirations or expectation of winning anything comes from.

When I started playing poker I was a fish (just like every other winning player was...we all started somewhere)

And the ONLY reason I started playing poker was:

1.) Thought it was fun

2.) Wanted to be cool like Gus Hansen and become a pro.

My question to everleaf management: Have you ever met a losing live player? Most losing players have some delusion that they're a winning player and either just don't keep accurate records, or they're currently on a "downswing." So even if this won't effect them, they'll think it will. Which will cause you to lose traffic. And losing traffic is the last thing your tiny site needs.

it appears that my PLO restriction has been lifted.

You suck Everleaf.

I don't know who you are and have never played at everleaf but just wanted to say **** you for even attempting to pass this off as an accurate description of the situation. Whether you were dumb enough to believe it, or dumb enough to think we would believe it matters not. **** you.

This is not true although I have heard people say this before. I researched renunciation extensively earlier this year. The wording of the specific law leads to the confusion. I don't feel like digging it up again but what it really means is that you simply have to prove to the IRS that you have satisfied all tax obligations for the past 10 years before they let you renounce. I actually don't think its even 10 years anymore, like 5 or something.

Yes, it is illegal to renounce for the purpose of getting out of your current tax liabilities, meaning you are not absolved of what you already owe the IRS. Once the IRS agrees you owe nothing to them and have renounced, as long as you don't spend over a certain number of days in the USA each year you have no tax obligations to the USA.

Just wanted to say that neil admitted the number was wrong and it was closer to 0.4%.

*nice avatar

who really stopped playing?

it looks like everybody complained but there are always the same people playing

...
week 5: move to a limit where you can beat the game

I really can't help you with your game, but find that I have no problem taking of ~$20/day if I sit down and play. This would be ~$140/week and you as a professional should have no problem making double that since you do this for a living. that is +$250/week. Hence +$1000/month is doable, the better player the more money they should be able to take from the tables. But we all know that most of the players who whine about this are rake pros whom never will be able to beat the games as such and make it up from bonuses and rake back.

Bigfish!!!!

You should bring back the old avatar of yourself, imo.

I stopped playing when they increased the rake last time. If I hadn't then, I would now.

i understand. But im refering only to the 750euro cap.

a lot of people here said they would stop because of the cap.
and im curious to know who really did, cause it seems no one did.

Options are pretty limited for US players. It's not like we can quit and go play on Stars or Party.

I was going to stay in america and play on minted for the near future. Now I've made plans to leave at the end of the month and move my play off of everleaf.

So, you are not a current player that stopped.

i was asking for people who was a player and stopped because of the cap
Looks like no one did

lol I've lost $800 in 100NL HU to one guy (he randomly won 8BIs at showdown, my red line was positive) and made $800 the next day from another guy (tried to be too laggy and I never folded)
I can beat the game, thank you very much
but what if those two days were after the weekly reset? I would only make $750 back and I'd be blocked from taking action from the guy I was fleecing...

do you even know what variance is?

people definitely did, there are maybe four games at 200 at peak where as pre cap there were many euro tables running. i've sat in empty euro and usd tables waiting for hours and i rarely get anything. im off the site as well

Looks like ELG will become the network specially for the micro players. In a few weeks, maybe 50 NL is the nosebleed limit over there.

The bastard that always sucks out on the River?
