Yarbles

Hm that brings me up to 20 cancer/AIDS/swine flu/death wishes this month I think.

have you ever taken on a student or done any coaching

ok jorj... do tell how horrible am i ... im sure u have tons of notes on my horrible hyper turbo play

lol

jorj: congrats on SNE. are you going for 1.25m?

I addresses this earlier in this thread I believe...it's not really something that I'm interested in now as I don't think it's really worth my time to do, but it could possibly change in the future.

Hehe I don't think I've played a ton of hypers with you but you play fine as far as I can tell. I have no notes on you.

Not sure yet, I doubt I could get that many vpp playing only hypers and I'm not sure if I want to play regular sngs for a week or 2 to get it. Probably depends on how close I am with a week left. If I had to guess I'd say probably not since I'll be in Costa Rica for a week for LAPT and then going visit my wife's family in Ohio for a week during xmas.

After playing the game so long, do you find there is a significant difference between those who are skilled and those who are just lucky?

I have been playing a while and it would be nice if I could predict when my doomswitch ends. When they say move up to where they respect your raise does that come across as true for you?

I mean yeah sure there are people who just seem to run good no matter what they do (a lot of people would probably say I'm one of these people, and maybe they're right). But really, how you run is a thing of the past, not a thing of the future. Just because you ran good previously doesn't make it any more likely that you will run good or bad in the future. So thinking in terms of doomswitches and moving up to where they respect your raises is just a loser's mentality. It sounds like you may not be as good as you think you are and are looking to blame your losses (or lack of winnings) on something else besides your own skill and play.

Believing that you can just move up in limits and suddenly beat a game when you can't beat the lower game just doesn't make sense. In at least 99% of situations in poker (and in life in general), the higher that you move up in level, the harder the competition will be. You want to be playing against bad players, not good players. Good players aren't the ones who will be giving their money away. Poker players in general tend to think that it's their great skill that gets them the money in the end. While this is a little bit true, the vast majority of your money comes from your opponents mistakes, and you making an effort to make less mistakes than them. If you can't beat your current limit, you will most likely get crushed by moving up in limits.

To be perfectly honest, you may not have the right mentality to be a poker player at all. It sounds like you need something a little more stable for income if the downswings are going to affect you that much.

Thank you for pointing these things out to me. I dont think Im giving money away when I get opponents to push light etc. I was mainly being sarcastic as I dont plan on moving up without the roll or skill. You may be correct about he mentality for poker. I should probably start packing up my things.

Thank you Georges for having unlocked the research. Pretty awesome.
Good luck !

I have no idea what you're thanking me for, but you're welcome!

do you reckon it would be hard for a superturbo player on ftp (w/o antes) to adjust to the hypers on stars?

No idea as I've never played the ftp ones. There's probably a lot of similarities and also a lot of differences if I had to guess. The ftp ones are standard sng payout I think? So that would be an adjustment too. But realistically if you're good at poker you should be able to figure out any form of the game.

They do take a while to get some of the nuances down. There's stuff that you can't really know until you play a few of them. If I went and looked at my hyperturbo hands from the beginning of the year I'm sure I had a lot of terrible plays. But the games were softer back then and there was no rake on them, so there was a lot more margin for error.

Is my english so fkg bad ?!
Well, one week ago when we looked for jorj95 on PS we couldn't find you because the research player was enabled. But you have modified that, and now we can follow your crazy sundays (and tuesday).

Oh my player search on stars? Ya I enabled that sometime during wcoop a few months ago. You should have been able to find me a week ago. Actually I was in Costa Rica last Sunday so maybe that's why you couldn't find me on Stars.

Stop trying to Hijak the thread Noob. The BBV shiet is ---------> Down the street...

Haha sorry. But I was in Costa Rica. And you weren't. Imo.

So what is your recipe to reach SNE? I have thought about it myself but I currently can only play about 10 tables at a time comfortably. The Hyper turbos maybe a few more simply b/c it's push/fold situations. How many tables can you play at a time and how many hours on average a week (or day) do you spend grinding to SNE?

I'm not really sure what you mean by "recipe to reach SNE". I dunno, play a lot of tables for a lot of time? I wasn't really even sure I was going to make it this year until WCOOP when I got like 200k vpp in a couple weeks.

I probably average like 20-22 tables at a time but I'm comfortable up to about 25 or so. I think the most hypers I had going at once was like 38 but I was just doing it to see how many I could do at a time. Obviously I could never sustain that for more than a minute or two. Usually once I get to around 30 I stop registering until I'm down to around 20, then I start registering again, but it's pretty rare that the games go off quickly enough that I have 30 open at a time.

I don't really have an "average week" of grinding. During WCOOP I was playing 12-18 hrs every day for 18 days or however long the WCOOP was. But my normal weeks are probably 20 hours or so on average. Like, during the last 7 days, I played maybe 8 hours on Sunday, 7 hours on Tuesday, and 3 hours on Wednesday. I might have played an hour or 2 on another day but not much more than that. I don't play much except on Sunday and Tuesday normally because the higher limit games don't really go enough for it to be worth it to me.

You just have to find what works for you though. That's the beauty of poker, there are so many different ways to win money at it.

What do you use your fpps for?

Are you planning on buying a fancy laptop? I find it amazing that you own only a normal 15" HP.

Since you are a high limit player, do you do anything special to protect yourself from hackers?

Thoughts on FTP's super turbos?

nice gimmick

I use some of my fpps to buy into the live events that I play. With whatever is left over after that I usually just play the fpp satellites to the Sunday million and stuff like that.

I may upgrade my laptop at some point but I'm not really in a hurry to do so. I like my setup for now for the most part.

As for hackers, I got an RSA Security Token pretty much as soon as they came out. Also I stay logged in pretty much 100% of the time anyway since other people aren't allowed log in if you are already logged in.
