Dayum. Nice work there lacky.

Someone who actually performed their $2-into-$10k challenge successfully. (Apparently very hard to do these days). Nicely done Steve!

Its that a thing? I coulda been a hero!

Nice to hear from you gramps

Check that - $100 to $10k. 50 times more impressive.

I just read some of it. I guess I could have made a thread but I got bored and didn't play at all for a couple months several times.

nahhhh that was a special once in a lifetime event. i too have grown up...a little

GtrHtr is lurking, but unable to log onto 2p2. He emailed me (yes, I am that special) that he's going to be in LV the weekend of June 8th. Sounds like a good time for the meetup.

Oh bloody hell, he can jump out of airplanes but he can't fix his damn login. Dude, put in some effort, your not THAT old!

Btw turned 52 a couple weeks ago. It just doesn't feel right. Mid thirties seems like yesterday. A wonder at what age I, you know, start feeling my age again. I don't think any older, don't really act any older. I grone a bit more. But mostly it still seems like my thirties.

Edit-I look older, but that only counts when I look in a mirror

Sad that you're so old and not a young 51 yo like me.

I might be up for it. I haven't been to Vegas since 2011.
Congrats Lacky!

tyty

We have an oldish skool STTF champ in the house. Marty (TheLipoFund) took home almost 900k USD for taking down this year's PP Millions in Brazil. Kid has worked hard at the game and the grind for years. Well earned. Congrats Marty!

Nice. I guess his lipo is well funded by now.

Nice! Hopefully he will stop being lazy and grace us with his presence now and then.

thanks for the well wishes boys. I do more lurking than postings. will be sure to have beers with Gramps to celebrate

Congrats! I thought about saying that earlier, but didn't think you were itt.

Book it!!

Lipo!!! I mostly only ever look at or post in this thread and the global sng thread.

Didn't even notice the lack of annual **** thread for 2019. The years run together when you get old I'm thinking about nixing the year on this and keeping the current thread going forward. Sound good?

Yep, that's what we decided unofficially back in January

grats!

Awesome Lipo! We were at the same table for awhile in the main last year haha.

late congrats to Mr. Lipo! I watched the stream (while coincidentally in Mexico) and thought he played extremely well


Vegas roll call this summer?

Except the thread where that guy was accusing PokerStars of being somehow rigged, is there any literature out there that discusses PT4's all-in EV calculation in conjunction with SnGs?

I played a few thousand SnGs at PS last year and ran crudely around exactly the same as PT4 showed my all in EV to be, just a touch below but my sample size is small enough for that to be variance.

Switched to PP a few months ago and almost immediately I was running a long way ABOVE all-in EV. Through about 5k SnGs at PP, I'm running at about 6% ROI, which is pretty much as expected, but my all-in EV suggests I'm actually a losing player! I don't think I'm running amazingly well, it's all pretty much par for the course.

Again, not great sample sizes, but there is surely something weird going on there. Since switching sites my all in EV graph has nosedived, without me really playing any differently. In individual SnGs I'm seeing AIEV at negative more than the buyin itself, even where I went out on the bubble to a bad beat. It's weird and a little frustrating as I really don't have a quantitative indication as to how variance is affecting my results any more.

Wondering if there are any insights about how it is calculated and its relevance to SnGs?
