Pokersesh with Limon RIP?? - Page 11 - Poker News

It's not that fun seeing 25 hands an hour while maintaing a reasonable VPIP while these ****ing fish play 100% of their ****ing hands and then talk about how masterful their limp call BINK was.

[Elbow poke] Hey, hey... hey
- [Takes off headphones] Yea?
I folded 92
- Ha, yeah. [Starts to put headphones back on]
Look, I would've flopped a boat
- Yeah...
I mean, I can't call the $70 re-raise, but if I did... Hey... Hey... Hey...
- [Takes headphones off again]

And repeat.
Ah, Live Poker.

the scowling grinder who looks like they are trying to land Apollo on the moon while sitting in in a 1/2 game makes me sad. Lighten up, laugh when a rec makes a joke and even if you can't carry a conversation, it's a least a start.

Believe me, I'm super social about anything other than poker at the table. Don't care what you folded, what your fav hand is, bad beats, etc
Any other topic in the world, I'm game

I took issue with your use of "all MTT players". Sounds like a bit of a generalisation to me. The fact a lot of MTT pros are scumbags does not mean there aren't thousands of make-up free, successful players making a good living in 2017. Think what you want to think though.

The range of replies ITT have merged now. I have no idea if you're levelling hard or if you're also woefully out of touch.

I'm not even sure what the "underlying truth" of your post was. I just had to laugh when someone cites Trump as intelligent (though I completely agree with the cognitive dissonance observation regarding him).

You get what you negotiate. Tuch 0, Limon 10.
Whining about just makes it look like Tuch 0, Limon 10.
He was grossly underpaid at LATB maybe he can do better at Stones.

I very disappointed.

I believe everything a poker play says.

I also thought Trooper97 owned the Dodgers, played centerfield, and won the Triple Crown.

Meet new people at poker table is a joke right? Not the best envoronment for meeting new people unless you mean jusst having a laugh or two, its a predatory game where worst character traits thrive, you are not being serious i know..

I know enough, no one was talking about the online scene. Even then there wouldn't be thousands of MTT pros. Def under 500 people who are making a career just off of MTTs. I'd guess the number would be closer to 100 then 500 who have solely made a living year after year 2005-2017 through just MTTs.

As for live pros, I remember Haralabos Voulgaris taking heat about 10 years ago for saying that there were maybe 5 or 10 people during the boom era who make a living through live MTTs. I'm sure that number hasn't ballooned up.

Lol @ Josh being a fraud trying to buy the Dodgers. I wonder where his original $ comes from since he is terrible at poker. I remember him getting salty at Doug when he played at LATB.

I think we have a very profitable way to exploit him, frankly. If you could pick out his top 3-5 tells correlating w both strength and weakness, I will hunt him around his various live games and give you 70% of the profits after travel expenses.

Def wouldn't call the guy a live crusher given how easily we can identify his smorgasboard of tells. It's just that this is kind of a short-term scheme. Once he figures out that I can read his soul in 3 different languages, Doug will just stop giving me action.

But until then, up for sitting me at the ole' 500/1k HU cap doug?

Don't know if it's the right place but I enjoyed it. Lots of cease and desisting... Perhaps the times ends up as the one being scammed.
