Normally I would quit a guy when they get down to 25bb if they were not going to reload. However if I'd already won a cpl buy-ins off them or it was one like the situation you described I'd go ahead and just play it out to be a good sport.

They are a rake free site, with low traffic (fish). They have micro stakes HU, and you only pay when you cash out if you have a profit. Otherwise it's totally free to play. They even give you money just for signing up.

lol this is 2011, what you're looking for doesn't exist.

I don't play 10/20$ yet but I had good reads on a 5/10€ player that plays quite a bit vs me, he asked to move up to10/20€.. I oblige since I had extremely solid reads on his tendencies.. one might assume someone will pay attention if he takes shots, or at least is able to read his holecards.. guess not..

VERY bad etiquette imo

98% of players that buy in with random stack don't reload so it obv doesn't help your winrate to play a guy with 8bb's etc but come on, how lifenitty can you be. I only make a quit when someone is short if I really have to bc of other action or quitting or whatever.

if the dude was being nice and he only has 25bbs left just tell him to go to a lower limit and play it out there.

if someone is a prick i just tell them reload and leave if they dont

I doubt the 8bb's helps your winrate/bottom line/happiness enough to outweigh the times when the dude goes on a run and turns that 8bb into 200+ and then snap quits. That would be bad etiquette also, but you think he cares?

It's very bad etiquette IMO. Clearly if he's playing with 25bb he's just a recreational player. He likely sits down with $XYZ and is ready to lose it, and quit, or win a bit, and quit. Let him lose his money and don't make him feel bad or small about it by saying his money isn't enough for you.

I view those types of experiences like I am the casino and the player is someone playing blackjack. When you think about it, HU pro vs recreational player is nearly the same situation... one is grinding a small edge off the other one hand at a time, one on one. Can you imagine if the blackjack dealer was refusing to deal you because you may double up and run before losing it back? Or that you don't have enough money to properly gamble? (Yes I realize tables have betting limits, but if you can't meet them I'd equate it more to having a 1 or 2bb stack)

Keep the fish happy!

Agree completely on this, great post.

very well written, good read....try to remember to post the rest in here when he posts the other half, bc i know i will forget to read it if someone doesnt link it to here

Wow

dudes a really good writer, really enjoyed that entry and am looking forward to the next.

anyone had any problems at entraction the last 24 hours? getting told that i can't log in and support aren't answering in live chat and haven't replied via email either?!?!?!? find it a bit worrying/confusing.

stars go down for anyone? software just froze on me when I had been grinding a donk for like 400 hands, thanks a million stars.

lol i hope nothings wrong i just depo'd there

haha, ok as per usual, someone replies to me 10 mins after posting on here. there's nothing wrong tony, they just halted my account without telling me, until this morning, that they need me to send some id in due to increased activity before i can reuse my account.

seems an arse backwards way to go about it, but happens.

Given that Ashton is physically fit and has experience in running at least short/mid distances, it's more then 50% chance he might run 70 miles( ~105km?) within 24 hours span, because he can stop and rest, and let's say given 8km/h run for 12 hours would accomplish the goal, so with average speed of 12km/h and brakes, he would complete this and have pretty nice breaks in between to revive pretty much undamaged. The only minus is he drank before that and didn't sleep well, which drowns the chances alot, because alcohol in blood and not fresh state of the body is very destroying for an athlete.
When i was doing it professionally, we used to run 7+km on weekly basis when there was no ski season. But if he is a sprinter-trained, then his leg muscles mainly don't have endurance to do 105km per 24hrs.
Just my 2 cents.

Given what I've read from the story so far, Ashton's mind went into 2nd life mode and made the muscles work through the rest of distance before the time was over and he won the bet.

pretty ridic to bet that amount of money against a friend in a prop bet, and its not even close

what is the HU policy at unibet(microgaming)?

yeh super good read, cant wait for 2nd bit!

Not a valid argument.
Where the casino has an edge every hand, our edge may be so small that it doesn't beat the rake when the stacks become too small, and the fish isn't spewy enough.

ohhhh man

yeah his posts are always very solid (but unfortunately infrequent)

I read the comments to it, seems that CTS(if it really is cts) ruins the 2nd part of the story.?

But I agree, he writes well.
