wow so i just opened ap to see 28 people on the waiting list at a hu 15/30 table so i had to check it out

Stacks:

tarcards- 57 k
boomshkalaka- 6 k

so you can buy in 200 bb deep but wow, what a whooopin

the rail says they have been playing for hours, not flipping

10 bi swings happen pretty often in hu

this would also be a better post if you posted relevant information known such as what game

$15/$30 NL Absolute Poker HU. $6000 Max buyin.

poker

lol

lol tarcards

1000bb swings happen pretty often, 2000 much less frequently. Just because the stacks are deeper it doesn't mean the pots magically start becoming twice as big. Pots still grow at the same rate, and there's still the same number of streets to get money in. Trying to get an extra 100bb into the pot is more difficult than it would seem.

ive been watching this match on and off.......it seems tarcards wins like 95 % of the pots. not many hands going to show down. a lot of this going on:

It is surprisingly easy when their standard openers for some reason have bumped up to 5-6x the bb.


regardless of whether theyre making an error; it's almost as if they're playing 30/60NL.

remember a while back when someone had 60k at a 2knl hu table on ftp? something in that ballpark.

tarcards instantly left after timing down and making the river call

It was 90k and they played for over 24 hours. The guy who lost 43 buyins posted on a forum afterwards saying he was the better player, he'd just been unlucky

superuser imo.

i dont understand how anyone could ever play high stakes on ap again... i mean every single losing session your gonna be asking yourself, was that guy cheating

your a libary of degeneracy

lol why would anyone play that high on ap, chances are the other guy sitting wit u can see ur cards

After he quit he was super depressed because he threw away 19k at the end. lollackofperspectiveaments. We're gonna go celebrate tonight (LA).

Suggestions?

Yeah, but if both can see each others hole cards, is it (1) unfair? (2) actually cheating?

It is interesting how people don't want to play on AP because they might meet a SU and not because out of principle. I wonder if those same people stop traveling by plane after seeing on tv that one of them crashed and killed many people.

i remember when fluffdog or brodogg dude lost 90k to a guy HU on ftp at 10-20nl. true story, it ended early in the morning

yah i saw this, Kwaazy pokah or some sht like that

ap is the only place i can get rakeback so i play there :P

its more out of principle, its rly unlikely tha there are any SU left there now, ap is still a scumbag company.

Also your plane anology doesnt work cuz theres no safe travel alternatives to air travel, whislt there are safer non scumbag pokersites

How is a car safer than an airplane, if you look at stats death rate/mile is bout the same.

Okay theres an argument for trains, but even in them you crash, same with boats, well there u drown :P

I think cars are safe.
