In what sense? She’s a pretty poor player but she also makes the game miserable for everyone at the table.

Except when you can get most of the table to make fun of her.

She is supposedly nice when she isn't playing poker.

She is my #1 example of people play poker because they want to be miserable.

In the sense that she helps create profits for you. I'd be more lenient to someone whose presence creates a + EV scenario. If her overall net impact is to make the fish miserable (- EV) then I'd be more likely to make a stink.

Or to put it another way and keeping the ratios the same, I'd rather grind 150 hours a month in an enjoyable environment than 90 in a miserable one

I suppose I'm somewhat spoiled as a weekend warrior with the fun games and personalities out on the East coast.

I've played a couple times there with a player of this dscription. I wonder if she's the same. Can you give a description of her? I wouldn't know her name nor expect you to say it.

Ok whoever it is that keeps denying action after 10 hands or w/e, that's perfectly fine but if someone sits you, please be fair and let them have the last button at the end.

And what do you suggest I do and regs leave and come back so stats disappear? If you think i unfairly leave after playing for 45 mins. let me know we can set something up without worrying about getting button

Edit: you were the same reg that leave and come back and get had data on me or you were watching our head up match for 45 mins and only come to play after data mining. what makes you did I have the any problem with leaving after 10 hands?

im guessing it's a language problem between us. i am not suggesting you're the guy who does it, it seems you're as much a victim. i'm just saying to anyone else listening: If someone sits you heads up, and you take the first button, sitting out after 10 hands or whatever is fine, just give the dude the last button. Because of this I can't even play anyone HU anymore unless I was at the table first. ( I realize this problem has plagued poker since the beginning of time, but it might be worth it to give one more PSA)

Congrats! What stakes and how long was your session? I'd guess 80/160 or higher, hard to break 10K at anything less without an obscenely long session

Thanks! 80/160 ~8 hour session. I've come close a few times so getting over this hump definitely felt sweet.

I can't decide if that is an "I'm washing my hair that day" excuse or a logic puzzle.

It means I'd be in no state to win money from you or likely to be able to remember to meet up in the first place. Any meeting would be happenchance like last time we 'met' in Vegas.
