Hi Tien,
I haven't seen his stats but I show him my hands. I think he picks up on my play. He plays on most of the big sites, primarily FTP I think, or wherever has a good promotion.
Just out of curiosity, how many hands do you think I should play to find the definitive long run of poker, etc.? Thanks
He's my real-life close friend who recently made the switch from Limit to NL after playing a million STT. He has done well at tournaments I think, getting 2nd in a big party tournament, qualifying for the WPT 15.3k in Vegas over Winter, and will be at the WSOP after qualifying on FTP. He reads all the books and I used to laugh at him, but he's doing well now. He is the one that kicked my ass at smash, except when I was drunk(i play better when I'm drunk). When I had a huge "high" off of winning a 1000.00 pot on poker, I played him and beat him soundly the game after at smash. I proceeded to get owned the next dozen games.
I still enjoy taking his money if I play on the same table as he does. He likes to play pots with me as he says, "you're the only player who makes me think. the rest are dumb s h ! ts." At the end of the day, it doesn't matter. HE SO POH. LOL
On my way to Vegas, having only driven there once before, we took a bet what the temperature would be outside. I told him to open the window. It felt like 80 something so we placed a wager. I said 85 or below despite his car thermometer saying 99 degrees[thought it was broken].. (I swear, who woulda thought at midnight it would be ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT?)
I lost, picked up the tab for dinner when we arrived in town.
