I'm still around occasionally, still hoping to beat the tree fiddies. Higher up "couldn't beat the rake"

But on the other hand, you'd not prob call me a reg...

Poker still saves my day though. Incredible game.

How many times are you going to post in this thread that there is no traffic at NLO8 hypers? It has to have been at least 10 times by now.

Do you think there was ever a time when hypers were not reliant on regs to run?

Biood switched to hu hypers and bokkie mostly plays hu cash games. Nobody has came in to replace them. Platon attempted and failed. Why don't you give it a shot?

No player, mediocre or good, should be wishing for reg infested traffic just to have more tables running.

Sure there are some names I would like to see around again, but as someone said to me even the bad players are getting better.

If you're not getting enough money per hour at an unpopular game that even top players can't beat for 5% ROI long term, it's time to consider expanding to other games.

Also what does it take to get a little credit for having some tables going at off peak hours.

Sorry if that last seat keeps you waiting when five known players sit at the same time. Sometimes the sixth player sits without table selecting and a game runs that is marginally -EV for the entire table. Does making 0/hour make you happy? Learn to be more efficient with your time.

I think you are a bit misguided here gumaaa. What is more profitable? Being break even in a 60 or having a 10% roi in a 3.50? Of course we want more regs playing provided they are willing to play the higher stakes games. This is why Holdem hyper regs make so much more money than anyone playing O8 hypers.

It isn't 2012 or 2010 anymore. It's not going to happen.

I dont know if your last post was in response to mine or not but none of it really makes sense if so. "Its time to consider expanding to other games"

I have essentially been a poker pro for like 8-9 years at this point. 2013 is the only year in which NLO8 hypers were my main focus. Yes I do still play hypers but I have also played over 3k mtts this year with more of them being holdem mtts than O8 and I have also played like 50k cash game hands this year.

Bokkie sat a few days ago and that was enough to get a few 60s and 100s to go off so no it is not impossible to get them to run.

It was alex I was saying that about.

Anyway, it isn't a zero sum game. For all the reg to have 0% ROI someone has to be losing. You can sit all day with four regs and it may or may not run higher stakes. Those days are in the past.

ahh ya I thought so but then I second guessed myself.

Yes I agree that it is unlikely that 60s+ get going with any regularity again any time soon but I'm still going to continue to ask others to play. Also I agree that in reg heavy games some of those regs are going to be -ev but I'm also confident I would not be one of them.

There have been alot of action during the weekend. Belowcaxa did cash close to 200 hypers within 24 hours. How many hypers did you play during the weekend ?

Ya it is such an obvious over exaggeration to say there is no traffic. 3.50s struggle to get going? I mean cmon Belovcaxa has played 41000 games so far this year and Platon may have played even more. Traffic isn't what it used to be sure but unless you are playing when there are only 40k players on the site and every euro is asleep if you want to fire up some low stakes sngs you shouldn't have any problem in doing so.

i was mainly refering to the comment about $30+ games, also just wanted to post something to see if anyone still pays attention to this thread.

do you know what happened to platon? havnt seen him playing in a while he had super high volume at one point but didnt see him making to much profit?

and i dont have much time these days to play, i try to play now and then but normally just play around 30sng in a sesh

I'm not sure about Platon. He could be just taking a break from playing them. I know if I put in the volume he has so far this year I would need one.

hypers are not completely dead...I got in enough buy ins to lose 500+ today

should stop shoving any 4 then

I can't help myself

haha you shove over 50% of your hands, least your having fun.

how do down $500 thought, were u playing 60+?

Shoving 50% can be right if they are the proper ones. I'm more a fan of 35%. That could be a crucial difference. Don't know where to get those 15%.

This thread is more or less dead. Remember its great days. Will maybe link to it in http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29...reads-1102029/

ITM and 8 left. bounty 170 I think.

billygstar???

Fold. But realizing that sometimes your hand will win, don't watch to see how well you would have fared if you defied the odds and played it.

Buzz

anyone know if we can still use poker tracker? i had a pop up on stars about it the other day?

fold billy
i dont see a reason for going allin with that crappy hand
if you had them all covered you could go allin to hunt te bountys

Yes but you need to update to the latest version. Stars updated their TOS on 3rd party software and PT had to make a few adjustments.

do you know what adjustments they made?

arnt they planning to get rid of hand history all together to level the playing field? would be interesting to see what affect it would have, would make mid/high stake sng/cash alot easier for the casual player

i dont even use it for the hud, i mostly use it just to track results.

You can only use 3 max colors per stats in your hud.
