1. you dont know how much I am up lifetime so maybe gtfo with the guess I could not brag about my winnings.

2. I said 2 times allready that I brag about being the best AFTER I got laughed on here massively... and NOT about the money... read my posts before you insinuate me stuff or you are actually the spoiled brat imo.

3. if you realy think its worse to ask someone what he gets paid for than calling someone and ass hole then I think we just have different opinions about that lol..
+ I didnt start that

1. Good for you....even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day. I never commented on your winnings from plo I was commenting purely on your hyper results.

2.Reread what you wrote. I understand that English is not your mother tongue so take it from someone for whom it is when I say you were being extremely offensive.

3. How old are you exactly? Because if you genuinely think that the worst/most offensive thing you can say to someone is a rude word then you sir have the emotional maturity of a 5 yr old.

@ Streity I get what you were trying to do but comparing the public perception of Tiger Woods to the perception of Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicholas is a bit ridiculous. The fact is we are living in a different world now compared to when those guys played. When those guys were playing there was no info on their personal lives being put out into the public like there is about every sports star in todays world. For all we know Arnold Palmer could have been a racist drunk who cheated on his wife just as much as Tiger when he played. Comparing him to Phil would have made more sense although admiring pro athletes for anything other than what they do on the field, court etc. is a mistake imo. The fact is that most top athletes have to be completely obsessed with the sport they participate in to get to the top which leads to many of them to being unbalanced individuals away from the game.

Also in North America everyone still loves Tiger. The ratings for golf are terrible when he does not play.

I am 23... you guys just interpret things into my postings, you were not even 'included' in it. buzz simply called me an ass hole FIRST so dont go ahead and tell me I am the one to start 'fights' in here. It ****ing doesnt matter how old buzz is, If you insult on someone you will get an answer, thats it... fight your own fights and stop pm me for that ****. buzz can post for himself and for me the thing was actually over and I was posting about higher stakes and answering alxmck (or however his nick is) but obv as long as people wanna tell me its my fault to be rude to someone who insults on me I will obv keep grinding this topic aswell. he excused and I was actually fine with it.

Additionally Buzz hit the nail on the head you do come across as a spoiled bratt. Whilst I congratulate you for working on your game and getting better your total profit is really nothing to brag about.
I disagree with this. He is up 43k with rb this year from sngs with over 3 months left in the year and just a 10$ avg buy in. That is quite impressive in my book. He likely has more sng winnings this year than anyone else on Stars with a similar avg buy in.

didn't want to get involved at first, but I feel I have to now.

biood, I don't wanna bash you or put the blame on you, but the comment towards buzz is pretty insulting. You might not see it as this or you might not have meant that way, but the interpretation for a native speaker (buzz, omahaha, juicy, streity etc.) is very clear.

Here the sentence again: "Must be very cool to be a mod and read a forum all day long. Do u get paid ?"

Buzz might have overreacted, but he apoligized for it. You only get defensive when people point to your mistake, that's why you come off very young and immature.

And again, this is not meant to pick on you, but more as help for you to understand why others reacted the way they did.

Well I trust your calculations more than I do mine but I see a total profit of 38k over 75k games.

In fairness though you are right he has done impressively well I just wanted to pull him up on his attitude.

I did send him a polite message saying why I had done so but I think he may have missed the point.

Actually J, Tiger Woods' behaviour off the course was only part of what I was referring to. He often swore, spat and threw clubs etc none of which could be said for the people I have mentioned. The parallel definitely stands and is certainly not ridiculous!

Scandals involving famous people have been going on for centuries. Tiger Woods would have been exposed 40 years ago. I am therefore pretty confident that Jack Nicholas and Arnold Palmer aren't closet womanising racists. I could quite happily point to a lot of political references both here and in the U.S from their era but it would be lost on many.

I certainly agree with you that to be successful at an elite level you have to be driven and obsessed. Whether that leads directly to certain forms of behaviour is questionable as there are plenty of highly successful people who don't succumb.

The thing is I recognise the traits pretty well because I too used to be young immature and a complete douche as well. I am pretty sure it's a maturity thing rather than anything else. I actually guessed he was about 22.

I actually don't think anyone was questioning this. It was more the bragging, the demanding of respect and the insulting nonsense that came with it. He seems to confuse our dislike for his attitude with the fact we don't respect his genius/mad skills and $$$. They are completely separate issues.

I for one respect his achievements recently. But note respect is never demanded it is conferred. I don't need him telling me when I can see Sharkscope leaderboards and judge for myself whenever I play these (infrequently these days).

You see, yourself and Bokkie and Bob have achieved exceptional results at hypers without acting like a douche. I look up to and respect people like that, who can play poker professionally, achieve remarkable things and still conduct themselves properly. Respect at poker and respect as a person.

The fact he has been successful recently does not excuse certain forms of behaviour. I think you may be excusing his behaviour because you respect his achievement/skills. IMO there isn't an excuse.

whole thread going mad for that one huuhh ? I was mad he was deleating part of my post for no reason I think. the first one he deleated I accept I was offering something... in the second one I wrote something like "imagine you make 1-2k / month, pay 5k and then make 5k/ month ", if I remember correctly. ... doesnt has to be deleated imo, no advertising and blah lol.. seems like you are all realy big fanboys of buzz which is ok but you make such a big thing out of this while me and buzz where actually allready done (atleast I was). If you want we can keep this going forever. people who didnt say a **** for weeks come out of their holes to save the mod of their heart.

1. it doesnt matter at all how much I made in past
2. everybody telling I got bad character, but you guys are blind when people insult on me, posting wrong stuff about me and so on... ******ed ****. kinda mad bout this.

I definitely dont agree with this. The internet and social media has completely changed the sports landscape. ESPN.com use to be a sports site 5 years ago where is now it is more of a glorified gossip site. Take for example someone like Michael Jordan who is arguably the most beloved figure in North American sports history. Jordan was a known womanizer, degenerate gambler, talked down to teammates, fought with teammates and was one of the most ruthless trash talkers in the game. If he is playing today you really think Disney is signing him up to do Space Jam. No due to image concerns they wouldn't because his personality faults on and away from the court much like Tiger would be so much more publicized compared to when he was playing.

I certainly agree with you that to be successful at an elite level you have to be driven and obsessed. Whether that leads directly to certain forms of behaviour is questionable as there are plenty of highly successful people who don't succumb.
Im not saying every famous person has issues with dealing with life away from their profession but certainly there are many actors, musicians, athletes who have great difficulty in living a balanced life away from their profession. 90% of the NFL are broke 5 years after retiring for example. Numbers are also high in other sports as well.

The thing is I recognise the traits pretty well because I too used to be young immature and a complete douche as well. I am pretty sure it's a maturity thing rather than anything else. I actually guessed he was about 22.

Most guys are douches at 22 including myself mostly due to inflated egos and lack of life experience. At that age you are full of testosterone and you just want to be the man whether it be who can get the hottest girl or who makes the most money etc which often leads to looking down/poking fun at people who are less successful than you are. Of course as you get older part of maturing is realizing that its a big Fn universe and nobody in the grand scheme of things is as important as they think. If I was in Bioods position at his age I would have likely came on here and gloated about being number 1 to those who doubted as well.

Welcome back Brun. Hope things are well dude.
I agree some of his comments/jokes towards Buzz and plaaynde certainly could be viewed as douchey and Im not excusing that behavior but I understand it much more coming from Biood who is still a young guy compared to lets say quantum who is probably in his 40s and still acts like a child.

Here's a suggestion, for you and everyone else: if you ever see that we have deleted or edited your post(s), or anything else that you don't like or have a question about, pm the mods (or if it is simply an offensive post, report the post with an explanation). Give us the benefit of the doubt in the first instance that we didn't do it to be a jerk, and don't run to immediately post something that one might take or view as insulting or nasty without asking us privately first what's up, even if you didn't intend it that way. I can't think of a reason why we wouldn't do our best to give you a full and fair explanation. 2+2 has rules about where things should and should not get posted, such as coaching stuff. We're obligated to abide by those rules. If you think we made a mistake, just ask. I made a mistake once before, and now I have 3 kids to show for it.

yo as I said,I totally agree with the first post he deleated, I simply didnt know it. dont need to report something, I just wrote 1-2 sentences ( NOT EVEN A BIG DEAL IMO ) trying to get him mad after HE deleated 1 post of me for no reason imo, and insulted on me. He did his actions first, still the whole thread completely agrees that I am the bad boy here. generation clash maybe.

As always total gold.

Technically isn't that 3 mistakes? Or is Mrs Niss the de facto 1st mistake that led to it all! Or did you have triplets on your first conception?

Btw aren't you aware this is a hyper thread and that hyper turbos are NL08. What are you doing here ? Did you get lost?

You are right in that he has 38k profit in 75k games pre rb lifetime on stars. The stats I gave were for 2014 with 43% rb which is roughly what you get for reaching 200k vpps.

For the record I was not disagreeing with the rest of the post. I just thought the part about his results was a bit unjust.

@Quantum If you think 30k downswings are not possible playing 60 and 100 hypers just go sharkscope any of the Holdem players who play those stakes. Pick anyone from the count leaderboard for 36-100 hypers and you will see massive swings. Of course a lot of those swings are mitigated by high RB but still If we are considering our poker roll and life roll to be one in the same playing just 60s and 100s with anything less than 40k or 500 x 80$ avg buy ins you are really putting yourself at risk for some stressful situations if you are not prepared to move down quickly when things go bad.

@ JUICY : I agree that for holdem hypers 500 buy-ins are solid, but atm O8 hypers are softer so I think you can easily be a litle more aggressive with like 300 buy-ins for them. these holdem hyper players mostly have -EV roi right ? like -1% but still make like 1-2% post rakeback cause they are SNE and get like 70%
Quote
09-24-2014 , 05:22 AM
some of the top holdem players make money pre rakeback but not alot, only a handfull of players.

but yeah i agree with biood, you have a much bigger edge at these games and the money ud make in rakeback would be worth it, and what about the upswings? theres just an equal chance ud spin up a big roll too.
Quote
09-24-2014 , 05:51 AM
we dont realy know if they make money pre RB.. as juicy said, variance is big and we dont know their EV... even if they are all -1% EV roi, they could be up after big amount of games.
Quote
09-24-2014 , 06:09 AM
i know players like Awice did, then theres alot of satty players who are up, but yeah they make most there cash from SNE x3 or what ever which must be worth about 400k?

Have to comment because my name popped up. No hard feelings. Have the impression biood is not genuinely evil

But think he has to learn how people react to certain types of expression, like I had to learn when I was young. I should maybe have had a little more respect myself.

Astonishing how much ass you can kick when young though. Congrats to your achievement, biood!
