This thread has to have the record for most deleted posts ever. Lot of overzealous modding ITT (by humans and bots).

Limon,

I was reading the old privateworld threads and came upon this post https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/s...3&postcount=55 can you expand on this? How did it work, how much were they making, who was involved?

edit: You talked about it here I hadn't gotten to that part yet, sorry. https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/s...6&postcount=75

Hint: In California Split, George Segal's character has a job.

Is it ever ok to slow roll a whale? If so, what type of circumstance would it be optimal?

Big pot, medium, small? Friendly whale or tilty whale? Etc.

So part 2 is it ok to go out of your way to always slow roll (literally every single chance whether pot is 2bb or 2000BB) a reggy reg who fake claims to be a Rec but really is more of a reg than a rec and loves to needle?

Slowroll anyone who is bad for the game including me if I deserve it. Lol. I’ve been slow rolled many times and basically never slowrolled back, 99% of the time the slow roller is a fish. I feel I gain psychological ascendency by not caring.

I don't know what's going on in LA as I've always been based out of the NYC area but perhaps SoCal isn't the live poker hub it once was. /shrug.

Online? WPN and BOL both have high stakes games running. BOL has had a full pool of 80+ players in the 5/10 zoom for days straight now. WPN has nosebleeds running pretty regularly. 25/50 reg tables are running every night and there are games even higher than that. I sat and watched guys play 100/200 the other afternoon. Wild swings in a short period of time.

This, of course, doesn't even mention private games. Regardless of the state of the economy, there will always be people with money and apparently - always be people looking to gamble with it.

I told, ya! Big time, high stakes poker exists en masse outside of LA. Move out of the sticks, Gentlemen!

Please give more examples of how to get psychological ascendency. Does running it once every time for example gain this by putting the fear of god in opponents who face an all in pre or on flop etc?

running it once only matters against low bankroll nit grinders. you gain psychological ascendency against a mid-reg when your opponent realizes you are going to outfight and outlast them and so they stop making marginal plays against you and start just giving you the tiny pots. you gain psychological ascendency agains a whale when they just want to ship it blind against you and run it twice, they just see every hand with you as a complete gamble.
