gl jungleeee

goooooooooo jungle!!!

yea i meant borgata sorry

i will pay a lot to see their hole cards during this match

Limping in qith hands like J4o and K2o early in HU match and buying in for about 87.5BBs in order to get action from a bad bumhunter-sad life. BTW when are durrr and jungle playing is it on FTP? How many hands?

according to http://www.highstakesdb.com/live-results.aspx

jungleman is up 3384$ after 2820 hands

Crushing for more than dollar per hand, this challenge is practically over!!

jungleman vs durr is starting again, 6 tables

it is indeed

wow looks like durrrr is getting destroyed...

hes stuck like what looks like 2 BIs after 3 some k hands.........

it is more already

Jungle is sitting at 200k stack at 200/400...

yeah in a 6 tabling crazy match that doesnt really mean much

lol durrr vs jungle is gonna be so ridic epic


also, streamliner, i'd def get in on that startup. it sounds like a really cool job and playing poker fulltime isn't really a long time plan for almost every poker player. if this great opportunity presents itself now i'd go for it

You guys have to realise that working for a startup will likely end in failure. The vast majority of them have an amazing idea/business plan/marketing idea, but most of them just don't pan out for the basic reason that its hard to run a successful business. The failure rate for the first 3 years is very high. It's one of those things like "i'm gonna start my own business" or "i'm gonna buy property because it always goes up in value", where people don't really know about the downsides or what factors go into making a successful decision.

Now, thats not to say that Steamliner hasn't researched the company or that its actually one of the minority which has huge potential to be successful, its just that people should be aware of the risks and know that getting into a startup isn't necessarily a great opportunity. I am all for people diversifying their skill set and am of the opinion that a lot of poker players would be better off in the long term getting out of poker now (rather than at a later stage) and starting to gain skills that will help them in the corporate world, but imo working at a startup will likely hamper that ability, just because there's not as much supervision and they're not up to date or can't afford the latest technologies.

Just my 2 cents, i say this having spent the first 3 years of my professional life working for 2 IT startups. The offering of stock options/IPO is pretty standard too, there actually IS massive upside there, as previously stated though, the majority of the time you're going to be using them to wipe your ass.

thanks for the reply Daddy Warbucks. could you pm me your aim/msn ?

jungleman FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There used to be a thread where you could post looking for HU games, I can't find it so just posting here.

Anyone up for 1-3 tables of 50NL on FT? So bored of people sitting out after 2 min...

I made a bet with a friend that jungle/durrrr once started would take under 4 months to finish, has there ever been a bigger lock of a bet ever? The psychos already have like 1/10 of it down in the first 12 hrs of the challenge.

Where can i see the results from their matches?
