Hello, I'm not the greatest poker player, so I dont play much, but I enjoy following other player's progress eg this thread, I noticed a player on super nova elite pursuit list has a great record in low to mid stakes buy ins, but in last month has jumped to high stakes buy ins and has dropped almost 60k. I imagine player must be going through mental hell, I wont name player obv, but should I say something to them(eg take it easy, drop down to games they destroy), maybe they are just trying to get their vpps up, maybe they are tilting off their head, I dont want to offend anyone, maybe I should just mind my own business.

yes you should definitely tell them to stop doing what they are doing. It will go well!!!

I am being sarcastic for sure tho. SNE grinders are mostly all slaves to the grind. Chasing rakeback but probably more so the status of being elite. It is the same **** as jumping up and taking shots. The money really doesn't matter so much, as the rush/fame/fun.

I would just sit back and enjoy the show lol

How?

I would just sit back and enjoy the show lol[/QUOTE]

k. Will do, congrats on your scoop score MrDurden, was it staked or all yours? It is was like 400x your average buy in(as in the buy in for tourney) which makes it an amazing stat.

he was staked!

for like.. $300 of it lol.

Oh well best $200 investment I've ever made, SHIP IT!

Really? I've never felt this way, I always worry about money first, I play cap, so not a lot of rushes with $40 buyins, little fame since most people think that anyone could play cap and make it (hmm) and fun... FUN? )(#$*)(*)(*EFJ)(*#!!!!!

US players who relocated in 2012 were given the option to carry over their VPP total as of April 15, 2011.

haha yea was staked for 310$ of the mtt.

So they started at 1 january with the VPPs they had 15 april?

Not necessarily January 1. It depends on when they relocated.

People lose at PLO?

Pretty sure I know who you're talking about and fwiw they are an insane amount below EV and not the slightest bit worried about the downswing.

260k...big couple months coming up though : )

only their sanity

Just got this mid session




lol, what association? We're in the same religion? We both play cap?

He's in Canada, I'm in Mexico... and I don't even know how to play the ****ing guitar.

The weird thing is I'm already on probably 10 tables with him before this comes up.

Que the fvck?

He stacked me a few times, maybe stars added a table selecting feature for SNEs??

lol just moved down to Mexico, Calafia tower 3. I'm guessing you're close by. Hopefully Stars can work something out for us since we often play the same tables.

lol no ****, ok yeah we are close, you must be using a telcell air card huh?

Im up in La Jolla del Mar. Not for long though, Im actually getting ready to move back to Canada.. U should have held out a month and we could have swaped condos lol.

Stars security was trying to trip me up when I wrote them. They said "We can confirm you two are on the same IP"

I wrote back that I searched my condo high and low and I couldn't find you anywhere, and asked if you were showing up as from Mexico.

Then they get all sneaky and say " This falls under privacy of another player. Due to this, we cannot disclose any further information regarding 'ffguitarguy'. We would suggest you to advise him to contact us directly at his earliest convenience."

HAHAHA I guess that was the part where I was supposed to say, "Oh ok sure, here he is."

Nice try Steve D, nice try.

Yeah Im on a telcel until Telnor comes out and sets up my internet. I guess its just gonna be a bit of a pain for us for the next few days but it should be fine once my internet is set up.

u were hogging all the 200 tables so i was forced to add in more 600 and got pwned.

Dick go back to canada!

KOTH in real life, I guess.

this is actually pretty hilarious

Yeah they value customers privacy, but yesterday I get a huge popup that was an email sent to a player and for some reason it got put into an announcement. It listed his email, his name and apparently he had multiple accounts that was combined into one haha.

I got that as well, confused the **** out of me

I got the same message too, it popped up while I was 12 tabling 25nl

I'm not even french.

Is less than 2/4 CAP beatable for significant win-rates given the enormous rake %?

Just had a bug occur that I hadn't seen before. Tables where I had money in behaved like I'd been disconnected, but other tables were moving fine. Emailed Stars about it and got a standard email about the connection problem being my end but was given some money back as I am a valued customer (woo)
