Ok...gonna try something new for the New Year. For the next week (and maybe longer, depending on how this goes), I am going to keep all my normal trolls, witticisms, and other BBV-related posts ITT.
I may comment on other threads, but I will do it from here. I may flame you, but I will do it from here. I may praise you, but...bah you get the point.
So if you hate me, solution is simple...ignore this thread. There is no reason for you to be here. I am trying this experiment for me. If you enjoy it, read it. If not, GTFO. If you really must, then go ahead and lay on the insults...just for the love of god make them somewhat humorous.
Anyone is welcome to post ITT. (Like I could stop you, anyway.) I'll do me best to answer questions you may have, but this is not a well. It's just a garbage dump of sorts.
Anyway, happy new year all. I fully expect this to be a complete and total failure, so anything more than 2 stars will be a victory.
If I was going to make a prediction poll for up and coming poster for 2011, I think I'd give my vote to Jumbo Al. The guy has made 2 top-flight witty threads in the past week or so, and I really enjoy is contributions. If you haven't checked out his work, I suggest you do. The humor is subtle but, for my tastes at least, very very funny.
My rookie poster of the year for 2010 goes to Srsly Srius (or however he spells it). He is definitely a favorite to win poster of the year for 2011.
IRM probably took 2010 BBV poster of the year. But that is only cause Eponymous' epic thread was in NVG. Both are awesome. TTI used to be cool, but he is a mod now so he has dropped a peg or two on the evolutionary scale. Still, for a mod, I guess he is okay.
Worst poster of the year is UFO123 and his 50 other aliases. I assume we'll see more of him in 2011, but bleh. It'll just be more of the same.
John Bradshaw annoys me far less than he probably hopes for. In fact, He sorta amuses me. I look forward to his ban being over.
My poker goal for 2011 is to book a 6-figure year. I am going to try to take poker a bit more seriously, and maybe (but very doubtful) give up my day job again to focus on playing. Short term goal is a 10k January...which may be difficult considering I am currently 2.6k in the hole. I really need to stop playing drunk...but damn if it doesn't make you play a bit more fearless!
That's all for now. I drank quite a bit of Metaxa 5 star, followed by a bottle of champagne, and now some Jameson 12-year to finish off the night. Hopefully I won't wake up hung over. Or banned. Or broke.
Whatever...happy New Year. Now I am heading back to the tables, which are ****ing empty. Guess I am one of the few ppl with no life to speak of.
Oh yeah, there will be typos ITT. An assload. You have been warned.
Did you grind up to your current stakes? I used to play 5/10+ online. And up to 25/50 live, but that was when poker was easier. I restarted at NL200, worked on my game at NL50 and NL100 when I saw how much crap had changed, then back to NL200/400. I probably should move up, but poker is fun again for me, and it lost that "fun" feeling awhile ago. Once you reach MSNL then you gotta start thinking more, and that's no fun.
What did you grind? Mostly NL 200 and NL 400 rush. I do like MTTs quite a bit, but with the new kid I just don't have time to play them anymore.
You currently playing anything new? I've been playing badugi and five card draw a bit. It's fun & keeps things fresh. I been playing 5 card NL draw. basically buy into a 50 nl game and just eff around. I'll call an all in PF then draw 5. I am like santa claus. Been playing mostly Rush tho...there are some really cool nuances to the game that I think I am ahead of the curve on.
I also play s8b when I can. It is probably my best game but there just aren't many ppl who play it. I really need to learn PLO soon, but I just hate Omahahahah.
Do you have any pets? I have 1 cat. Used to be 2. She craps all over the basement cause she struggles with the litter box. It pisses me off.
My favorite color is purple. Just thought I'd tell you. Pics or GTFO.
Dammit this isn't a well...but I answered anyway cause I like u.
