Sitting with the same guy at all 6 of your tables

Why waste color code system ranking their skill level.

It is arrogant and useless. Unless you use it to table select, then fair enough but in that case you are a ****ing pussy and don't deserve to play.

Use it for tells,

good one is relating the colour spectrum to their tempo, give colour for those who have no ****ing idea how to play the game and so the colour is a warning to not make logical assumptions about their play,

I give red to multii tabling regs, as I know their awareness is low they can be particularly abused.

I have lost all of my ****ing colors since I got new pc. TIlting

I do agree but for another reason - there are simply too few colours (on smaller networks) to waste them on skill notation (though it's 'recommended' by the rooms themselves ). But I strongly disagree with this:

Then 90%+ of people are p**sies in your classification, esp. those who drive or take the tube to commute instead of running a semimarathon. Table selection is an achievement of scientific progress, and it's silly not to use it. Those living in the stone age are manlier, no doubt, but there are more sensible fields to excel other individuals.
Spoiler:
That's written by someone who can't buy a HUD for more than a month already, but that's because of agoraphobia and the absence of compatible ATMs in the neighbourhood - an obstacle to putting fiat $ into a debit card account - so that's a manifest of the lack of civilisation, not unwillingness to use it.

Higher, actually.

I'd expect someone with agoraphobia to table select, and have a 200 buy in bankroll.

unless you live in some shoddy area full of crime and desperation, your body needs to SHUT THE **** UP and let your head go where it wants to.

Table selection is an achievement of parasitic leachers of society who are addicted to and fear what money represents in their silly fantasies of greed. WHat a grey sludge selfish life that is. Not learning anything. Their ancestors were the ones that would sneak up on hungry cavemen and eat them instead of fighting then consuming wild mammoth and saber tooth utilising the whole body and praising the kill whilst showing gratefulness to the powers that be like mine did.

Well, I doubt that poker players are of use to society in general, unless their goal is to entertain railers. One can amuse villains at microstake tables but it's nothing compared to pleasing millions of spectators. But to grind up to the heights where one can be noticed, one has to be a leech in some way, as low limit rake doesn't allow to move up on bare talent, with the exception of true genii like Isildur1.

Do any of you guys use that Tilt Breaker software? I've noticed lately i've started to feel small amt's of tilt when I'm playing online (I've been playing live almost 99% for the last 6mths, so when Ive jumped online recently and things have gone bad in 10mins, I have started to see red).

If you use it / have used it: What is the general consensus on it? Did it work for you? Do you like it?

If you stopped using it, why so?

i encourage other players to use it so i can try to stack them a couple of times in a row and cut their session off

I installed it, and it seemed to slow down performance noticeably while ruining with table ninja and pt4. I decided to uninstall it and it would let me for about 6hrs.

Tilted the s*** out of me.

I heard phil galfond say once if you need this kind of software, and lack the discipline to quit when you need to, maybe poker isn't for you. But I know alot of good players use it.

The only use I see in Tiltbreaker is that a backer can be sure that a horse (who is forced to install it) won't take insane shots if in slight makeup at the end of the stake (to take some part of the profit if the shot succeeds; if it fails, all the loss is absorbed by the backer, so it would be a freeroll for the horse).

If a player risks his own money, he's often sound enough to quit in time, or will learn it sooner or later by trial and error. (Judging by the session I've just finished, I'm not sound enough yet ; but no soft is perfect enough to always determine my psycho state correctly.)

One of the most important aspects of a case we consider when
reviewing a case for collusion is whether or not the suspect
players have a relationship. In this case it appears that the
suspect players do, in fact, know one another. It is PokerStars
position, however, that poker is a social game. We encourage
friends and family to play together, so long as they do so
honestly.

[...]

Despite our finding that these players know one another, there is
no evidence to suggest that they are working as a team at our
tables.
Not colluding. Thank you PS, I'm gonna play with them now! It's completely normal for people who know each others to start tables (only) with each other, obviously.

At least they decided to include that first part in the answer, I guess that's the best "yeah obv they're colluding" answer they can give when they don't have enough evidence to ban them.

Yeah, I understand the Galfond quote etc. And I understand the reasoning above.

However, I haven't played online in about 3mths (maybe 300 hands during that time?), so I can envisage **** going bad for the first few stints back. @ $60 it seems like an easy way to stop myself tilting off stacks before I get into the swing of things?

Oh, and i'm only playing 100PLO to get back into things, so it costs less than a BI, and even less when I move up.

Is it really your bit? I thought it's a well-known bearish behaviour in the market, that's why traders are advised not to set stoplosses at round numbers: bears attack specifically round stops put by lots of trading fish.

Likewise, Tiltbreaker stoplosses should be set at e.g. 501.1 bb, not 500 bb

There are also 'bulls' that try to lose enough BIs to trigger villains' take-profits (without knowing it).

I can never tell if your posts are serious

The nature of an S/L in trading is obv v different to poker. Trading e.g. an equity you set your s/l at a certain price, which obv makes it a bad idea to set it a e.g. 30$/share, at poker you obv dont have that.
