Yeah, you aren't trying to belittle anyone with that comment.

You're the first person I'm putting on ignore on 2p2 as your idiotic posts tilt me.

Good luck getting that self esteem of yours up

There are plenty of players who make significant amounts of money every year playing poker online, but are actually losing and/or breakeven players. You could lose $95,000 in the process of getting 1 million VPPs this year and still come out with $5k+ profit. That doesn't mean you beat the rake and the competition for $5k+...

Not that any of this matters...a pound of rakeback $s is worth the same as a pound of donkIstackedatthetable $s

fwiw, I agree with this because the description of a game being "beatable" or not typically means "can I walk away from the table with more money than I showed up with?"

When someone posts a thread to the tune of "this cruise ship has a 15% uncapped rake, is this game beatable?" The answer given is simply "no." No one says, "depends, will they comp you a Mercedes?"

Really though, it's just semantics. Since neither side can agree on a common definition of the word "beatable" everything else is moot. Of course both sides will disagree on everything, they're talking about different things.

It's not an ad hominem. It's a thread of another guy who is too dense to understand a message other posters are trying to convey to him. I'm not going to try to explain my premise to you again, because then I'd have to call starvingwriter82 nostradamuswriter82.

Did you really read that whole thread? You are my hero man... I read like three pages of it and I was so tilted I wanted to run a bunny over with a lawnmower.

Anyone that reads that thread (let alone comments) has either zero brains, or balls of steel. I couldn't hack it.

Right now, you're the guy telling me and other posters we're wrong and trying to tell us you flopped trips.
