could be English is not his native tongue. perhaps he's from a place where periods are frowned upon... or even illegal. he could be from say, Djibouti.

I wish I could. I need to earn $350, I promised my sister I would give her something and I'm at school so I don't have much money and I can't find a job. I only have $20 in this account and no matter what I do I just can't win. I was ITM 50% over 800 SNG's. Now I'm ITM like 20-%. It really is every hand I play I'm beat and I honestly don't know what else to do. Any advice?

Serious question? Use PT4 and 2+2 to spot and fix leaks ffs. Figure out how to exploit weaker players. Look where and how you could have lost less and where and how you could have won more than you did. Stop focussing on and ranting about bad beats and quads.

what I meant was. What should I play. I have now $24 left so should I play:
zoom 2NL
cash game 2NL: FR or 6max
SNG 1$ SuperTurbo
SNG 1$ Turbo
SNG $.35 SuperTurbo


I really have no idea which one I should play. I feel like I should go for 2NL FR because of lower variance, but at the same time I don't know if that'll be profitable. Is it easy to win like $2/hour playing 6 tables with like 12VPIP?
I think I make the best decision like 90% of the time. Like this 2 hands:

88 on KQKX8 - Villian had KK checked flop and turn, bet river 2/3 pot I called (V was open raiser PF)
JJ on QXQAJ - Villian had AQ bet flop and checked turn, bet river pot I called (V was open raiser PF)

But I also have a hard time folding hands like AK on A63 against high VPIP villians.

What you guys think?

Thanks, I will try this playing double or nothing's as regular tourneys have higher buy-ins ($1 next is $2.75).

I'm not gonna make a deposit for her she's underage, and she sucks at poker. (u know who she got that from)

If I suceed I shall find a way to compensate you, I will save your nickname.

it's aggressive but good if you need a quick fix or whatever. later you should really have 50-100 buy-ins instead of just 20. double check strategy for don's; I think they are optimally played slightly different than a standard payout structure, but i'm not sure. it may have something to do with tightening up more early on.

or if you find don's unappealing just grind the dollar games up a little further and use the same criteria for shot-taking $2.75's. (20 buy ins + 5 buy ins).

wut? DON's are a completely different game, and the difference actually is least significantly early on. Later on they play like a satty, with folding AA pre quite a bit and such.

Are you counter-trolling?

yeah it's 8max superturbo DON

I would rather have 6max turbo DON, as I'm not used to play 7&8 handed and turbo has less variance.

I just tighten up early, play pretty tight range even LP. Once blinds go up, I start shoving LP a lot. Once I get like 20 BB's and 6- players left I fold almost anything, will call small allins like 5BB with decent hands AJ+ or so.

The best thing we can do is just not post period in this thread. This will negate the purpose of so many shills, or at least the few of them with multiple accounts. All they will be left with is making fake accossional accounts of the tools who need the shill/prop poster interventions on how they really are not being rigged and are just playing poorly. Just don;t post period and like the player meetings 2014 the thread will just evaporate.

I wished everybody claiming a rig who is too dumb to prove it would do just that. It's ****ing boring to cope with idiots. At least read wiki before you babble.

That is, if you do not prefer to stay dumb, what i strongly suspect.

Yet you keep coming here for years arguing with riggies along with the other prop posters. If I constantly got frustrated arguing with "idiots" I would simply stop. Well we know your having " fun" anyways, right Sounds like it.

Sound the horn, cue the other shills/prop posters monitoring this thread to chime in

Well, it is true that i would wish to have some intelligent discussion here. How does that mean I should stop to voice my opinion about your massive deficits in that regard?

When you really need money, gambling probably shouldn't be your first choice.

^This.

If you don't mind butt hurt, you could pimp out your own ass and have that cash in as little as two hours PLUS have enough left over for a bottle of liquor (shame juice)
