I think Mensa is stupid. I never bothered to join.

The one time I went to a Mensa party, though, at the World Science Fiction Convention in 1976, I got laid.

A 100% getting laid rate at Mensa parties should have encouraged you to go to more parties. Low IQ move on your part. A girl in the Mensa poker private game had sex with several of the dudes and even broke up a marriage. High IQ chicks are very horny it seems but they only want to bang high IQ guys.

Any advice for a winning long term player going through his worst downswing ever? Running very bad, playing worse, the usual, over a few weeks now. How did you handle your bad downswings?

Lol because no matter how bad or long the downturn is, if you keep playing there is a worse one somewhere in your future. Same with winning streaks obviously.

Tighten up, keep playing, go back to basics.
The run bad will go away, but maybe not today.

during one horrible downswing i started playing at new online site called "party poker" and that pulled me out quick, lololol. During another I started booking sports bets and built a sizable book. during another i moved the game i was losing in to another casino and made a deal for 40% of the rake. I guess you could say i think wayyyy outside the box on this stuff. I just want the money how it comes in is window dressing, poker is just a vehicle. I suppose the boiler plate answer is move down in stakes and tighten up pre flop.

Hey guys, I just joined the forum, and I’m wondering if I’m the only one who feels hopeless in unfamiliar environments? There’s always one or two guys who hit incredible hands, and in the most important pots, they actually get there. I already have an idea of the solution and have taken the steps I thought were necessary, but I’m curious whether you think this is just theoretical, or is there really something to it that I keep losing my key hands on the river when playing away, and there's a reason for it.

Poker is a misery-making machine. There are basic two approaches you can take: to accept this, and endure the misery that the game inflicts upon you; or to revel in it, and become an agent of inflicting misery upon other people when they lose to you.

There is a third way, though, the Limon way, in which you work at alleviating the misery of the other players, so that they have more fun, while continuing to take their money.

I think the most likely answer is you were hitler in a previous life and have been reincarnated as a poker addict who always loses on the river. Sorry bud, it is waht it is. No escaping it.

Are there website for real fare poker without bots? How much time a beginner need to make money for life with poker, if it is real of course?

they are called casinos in 1st world countries, no bots, heavy security, 100% guaranteed cashouts, fair rake structures at higher limits. Online is DEAD DEAD DEAD. lolol. Casino is near dead as well so "make money for life" with poker is definitely not a thing anymore (unless youre happy living off comped food and never acquiring any real wealth).

I also get the feeling poker is only hobby money anymore even if you are decent studied player. Good games simply are running less and less.

I found amazing game last year, made nice profit. But this year the same game has like 0.25x value it used to have, and its always like this.

Only exception to the rule seem to be the live games in USA. Ridic good games still.

This is changing quickly because “euro-grinder” **** regs from around the globe have descended upon the good American games like a swarm of dour Grindy locusts. The very best games at stakes that matter (above 5-10) are all moving private or hosted.

It depends on where you are. My local good game is facing an onslaught of rich, young Chinese college students with more gamble than sense.

Eurogrinders don't play games that solvers don't exist for. And they don't go to places with tornadoes and MAGA and actual locusts.

I agree with your assessment if you're only talking about solved games in fashionable cities.

Nah, they go to Orlando sometimes too lol, they love cutting in theme park lines pretending they don’t know how lines work.

Limon has and always will talk mainly about big market poker. Thankfully, the Euros are still experiencing brain drain from the age of exploration. Can you imagine how bad they would be if they weren’t all drooling nincompoops, talking about how great it is that gambling winnings aren’t taxed and there’s no tipping in their awful country?? Meanwhile, the country is begging to join NATO or dealing with riots, or deciding how to ration out terrible healthcare for free in the smuggest way.

Heard a Eurogrinder tried to grind in the Deep South one time, got propositioned for sex by TBC, smugly won a lot by nitting it up, then got his head kicked in trying to find his Hyundai rental car, he was complaining about how stupid tipping was when he got jumped too, go figure!

My question is for Limon, do you have any funny stories of kicking beards out that were booking with you? And not the people betting the three biggest mlb favorites in a parlay everyday that you booted.

What in god's name is this?

i assume you're talking about the design

i've posted my initial thoughts on it here
https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/55/about-forums/new-version-2-2-a-1841613

limon, how do you feel about your well apparently being the beta testing ground for the new design

yikes it doesn't flow either, if you click reply it gets embedded in

Supposedly it will have new features or whatever. A weird place to test is since I’ve never used any features or asked for them. I just want my posts not deleted when I’m owning bitch ass morons who come to MY thread to attack me FIRST.

The fear over technological advancements, like the current AI fear porn, “destroying jobs� has never been warranted though-out human history and here the reason why:

In the short term businesses will eliminate and automate jobs to save money and increase profits but this will be immediately counteracted by businesses that will spend the same amount of money and keep the workers to increase quality and service in different areas.

Quality and service will always outpace low prices in the marketplace and we can all see that around us everyday. By any known metric the quality of everything we use today is far higher than it was decades or even a few years ago, it’s production requires far more workers and the prices just go up.
Technological advances through all of human history have always produced more jobs and better products at a higher price. These are all good things! The fear mongering is laughable. We all live in the greatest times the world has ever known. Anyone from the past would kill to be where you are right now, and it only gets better. Ignore the fear porn, deal in facts and logic.

thoughts on this, you think nick will remain the showrunner?

also this link will restore it to the old design

Probably. If you asked me what sort of texts he was sending to female players I would have guessed 10x worse than that. If he sent anything like that to a hustler employee he’s likely gone.

My guess is Nick provided the primary funding for starting HCL using the profits from his real estate investment seminars (allegedly basically a scam). I question whether Ryan had the capital to put it together on his own.

Maybe HC should talk to Laurel the dealer who doesn’t work there anymore. Someone is covering for someone. And why anyone would give Vertucci any kind of cover whatsoever is beyond me.
