Hey guys,
I'm looking for a study partner for PLO 6 max. If you're interested in climbing stakes and are dedicated to studying almost daily, this may be a good opportunity. I did this once, and it worked out very well. You don't have to be beating 500 PLO, but it's preferred if you can. (need to be beating 200 plo tho) A few of my goals:
Right now I play mainly 500-1kPLO 6-max. My end goal is to be beating 5k PLO over a significant sample size. Most of my studying is geared towards a more theory oriented style, so it would help if you have a decent understand of theory.
PM if interested with stars/sites sn and stakes/results etc...
Thanks

- Studying 4-7 days a week
- Must have poker juice and know how to use it
- Study sessions would be 30-60 minutes

Ya, when I signed it I didn't have as much info as I had now. I believe it's not going to do anything in reality, and potentially cause more harm than good. I can't delete my post unfortunately, but I decided before today I wasn't going to strike

On a personal utility level, I can't possibly convince people to boycott. That's kind of the entire point of this though, isn't it? Stars is convinced that they can apply infinite pressure to us with no repercussions because we are unquestionably self serving, and we will never unite in a meaningful way. The fact is though, I am asking everyone to trust me that the overall pressure and PR associated with this is having an impact. I am working extremely hard on all of this in public, and even harder in private, and I would love if others would join in. On the other hand, you could get a few hands in of 5/10 while you still can get vpps

As someone who certainly has more info than you, I can assure you that this strike is having a positive effect. But rest assured, most of those who said they would strike actually did, and performed the effort that you committed to.

Even though I am neiter convinced by part of the arguments being made against Stars, nor the strike itself, I have a lot of respect for the effort and also think that the strike has been a succes so far (see 888 rake reduction). Even though I don't technically partake I plan on not playing out of solidarity and respect for the work being put into this.

Nothing wrong with not takeing part in this boycott, but signing up and playing anyways is just ridic. Like you didnt know before that you are not on pace for the 100k VPP bonus.
You really underestimate your "voice" imo. Ansky and others mentioned it before... this is only somehting like a 1st step. If you can get organized for something similar/bigger in the future or as you call it "something more substantial". Just to let Stars know they can not do whatever they want without a reaction.

888 decide to do something for us, i think that we should show that its worth to care about us. My proposition is to start some reg vs reg action on 888 this week. I will sit to play in few hours, it will be rly coll to start few 5/10-10/20 tables.

I really appreciate everyone involved in the boy-cut´s efforts, but the fact is this is December; christmas brunches, christmas parties, christmas shopping, and i threw up a little in my mouth just thinking about the rest. Point is, i have to make the most vpp ive ever made in 30 days, while having tons of **** to do.
I don´t know if you have ever gone SNE, but if you have, then you know you simply cannot afford to waste a years worth of work by taking 3 days of in a crucial month.
This is also the reason why i haven´t signed up for the boy-cut, so don´t be hatin. I support the cause, but the timing is way off for me to be participating.
Thank you for understanding
