Isn't WIM something SE came up with? Why doesn't the poster just out himself?

SE never quantified WIM so elegantly.

Simmons played in WSOPME, other donkaments. The evidence of BS lurkerhood mounts.

The original SE WIM was so much more elegant in its simplicity though

Using this statistic we find:

Michael Jordan's WIM = 73.07
Kobe Bryant's WIM = 47.06
Lebron James' WIM = 9.64

Therefore we can scientifically deduct that Kobe wants it 4.88 times more than Lebron does.

I mean, Carmelo is 2nd in their WIM rankings, just lol at that

I've posted before itt I believe that he has talked several times about the Blazersedge forum hating on him, he does like poker, and now he works and has a relationship with Nate Silver. Maybe eventually someone from this forum will run into him and just ask him, but I'd be pretty shocked if he hadn't at least visited this forum once.

Still positive he ratted out Yeota for the dating thread.

Thought SteroidBoy fessed up to that.

Either way, I'm on board with the zero chance Simmons isn't a reg'd 2p2er.

I miss poker from back in the day

Quote:

And I wanted to pick him off. Holding K-10 suited, I called his $550 bet along with two others. The flop? K-10-6. First guy called. Jeff came barreling in for another $1,200. Third guy folded. And I knew four things: First, I had the best hand (nobody had trips, I could tell from the body language). Second, I needed to steal that $3,400 in the middle. Third, having played one big hand in two hours, everyone would know I meant business with an all-in wager. And fourth, with 20 grand in chips, Jeff George might be dumb enough to call me. Which he was. And you know what this nitwit had?

A-K. With the odds now significantly in my favor (84.3 percent), I was two favorable cards from taking control of the table.

I mean to be fair, how did Simmons play the hand wrong? He knew he probably had the best hand and knew he'd get called. So he went all in. He got called and sucked out on. It happens. But it's not like he donked his hand off w/ K10 suited and the flop was K93 rainbow.

If you are LOL at him for whining about getting sucked out on, then carry on!

It's even more confirmed that he reads the NBA thread.

Also, "I have the best hand, but I need to 'steal' the money", and "I have the best hand, so I'd better go all-in to let them know I'm serious"

You left out the part where yeota was lying about their interactions and talking (some fairly racist and sexist) **** about her and the hilarity of his freakout when she found out
