How do you know when you've been running bad for an extended period of time?
a: This Happens
b: You just call

haha, this is the catch all thread. Haven't played much in the past 6 mths.

See my post above. Greatest TV show ever IMO.

hot tub time machine or takers? :|

I have the feeling that the high bar set by the wire won't be matched again for me.

The waterfront looks nice in the wire. Is there much to do in Baltimore?

Yeah good bit to do. Normal medium sized city stuff...some museums, waterfront, good restaurants, some good bar spots...Both stadiums are great though the Orioles are LOL... Seafood is the best if you like seafood.

takers was sh*tty

Thanks! I am planning a DC area trip for the summer. Will make Baltimore one of the stops.

I can't think of anything good from Baltimore.... said the Native Pittsburgher

I echo these sentiments but in reverse

My biggest ever profit on a single hand

Learnt something today. When you're in the middle of a session, DO NOT take phone calls from your gf. Whether you've done anything wrong or not, you will end the call more tilted than when you started.

gutshotting like it's his job yay

from losing player to average player to winning player or whatever adjective you'd put in front of 'player', how would you describe a player who lost $600 in one year (my dad) of uber micro stakes but earned $515 in rakeback (meaning he paid over $2,000 in rake)...?

he's taking more money from opponents than they are from him (hence the 'winning'), but he's essentially getting killed by the rake. he likes to play a ton of those SNG's and tourneys that are like $2+$0.25 and I keep telling him if he'd play one step higher he'd probably have the same results but would be a net winner at the end of the year.

Break-Even Player IMO

Since 2+2 is a jungle with 1 mio topics, im not sure if that one was posted somewhere
b4.
However i would enjoy to share the following hand with my fellow Omaha8 buddies
( i hope this is allowed - Buzz? ).
After a pretty long session i've seen that one and couldnt stop laughing, hilarious!

alfredo...ALFREDO...

FYP?

oh right, thx

Well he is crushing the games for 7 bb/100, unfortunately he is paying 9 bb/100 rake at that limit.

The question you should ask yourself is, does your dad need the money? Is paying $85 for a years entertainment at the poker table worth it?

why would he play micros in the first place ._.

dollar running bad like sh*t
sux to cashout in euro :x
