1. Two (or more) accounts at the same IP address is common - think families - husband, wife, twenty something kids.

2.FTP s/w will prevent you from sitting at the same table as someone else playing from the same IP address (or entering the same tournament).

3. Yes, no problem.

sweated with el nino yesterday

pretty awesome advice and very interesting points of discussion
i have even more problems than i thought at first

thanks a lot man, look forward to next one

we can be triplets since my graph of oct is now underwater by a couple bucks ofr da fiddy. we could string them all together and go hiking.

I think his chances of doing this are at max 5%

TL;DR

Berating fish is terrible no matter what fashion it is presented in.
The reason it is terrible is no matter how degan a gambler the fish is by berating him you are ruining his enjoyment. The reason fish play is not that they think they have an edge but it is because they want to gamble and use poker as entertainment. The same reason people play roulette. If the dealer at a roulette table started berating you for being an idiot for playing roulette would you keep playing? Of course not because then your fun time would have been ruined.

The same thing happens when a player berates a fish trying to have a good time on the weekends. If we ruin their fun time they will just get up and find a funner table to play at or worse see it as no longer being fun and take their roll off the site and find a new pastime. Why would we want to discourage the fish from playing at all. This is just bad logic.

The second thing that can happen is that they think they have an edge and are playing even though they are terrible and don't realize it. If we degrade them then they might realize they aren't playing as well and tighten up. Why would we want to encourage fish to tighten up. This is bad for us and bad for the game. If we encourage fish to play better then they will learn to play better and the game as we know it will get even tougher than it already is. The other option is they will realize they are playing against opponents that are better than them and get up and move to a different table and avoid us. Why would we want to make fish realize we are better and choose to not play us. I don't know about you but I hate playing the nitty tough regs in here. lol I still love you all though.

Key to the story is don't berate fish cause its bad for the game and if you see anyone berating fish you can automatically tag them as a non-reg cause no true reg would be this dumb.

Me and my GF play on FTP at the same time all the time. We never play the same tables though and I notified FTP to make sure they knew and were ok with it.

Has anyone ever made 20k in 1 month at just 100nl? I dont think I have seen it. I am not even sure if CJ could pull that impressive of a win or has he already before? (Not saying you cant CJ or haven't )

ahhhhh....2 hours grind on NL50 and I ended 12.50 up. FML...
stack off TPTK against a fish who flop a set and AA<JJ
50BB pot AA < A6, 50BB pot AA < AK when it all went in on the flop and fish hit runner runner flush....bleh...

can NL50 regs please put your hands up. i want to stay away from you.

sounds like da fiddy is tearing all of us up. anyone here actually having a good time in oct?

F october imo.

Also, on the topic of berating fish. I'm going to keep this short, but basically don't do it. If there is a table coach fish, I like to talk to them, but I always keep it pretty nice. If they are chatting they are probably not playing many tables and just trying to have a good time.

For example, last night I beat a table coach fish when I flatted T6s (teh nutz obv) on the button and won a big pot vs his KT on a T6x flop. He started calling me a donk. Do I feel the need to defend myself? Hell no! I asked him what's a donk?? He tells me a guy that plays T6 is a donk. I said haha, any 2 cards can win in poker. That's why you have to play a lot of them. If you are going to give advice to fish, make sure it's advice like that and don't be a jerk about it.

I completely agree. I have no problem with communicating with fish so long as its friendly. Such as: "Man I cant beat you tonight" "Wow your lucky " and sometimes don't mind playing into the table coach fish as said by Equis as long as it doesn't discourage other fish from playing their fishy style. In other words don't let it get to the point of discussing strategy or letting the table coach tell you strategy and why you should and shouldn't do stuff. This is bad.

I just push buttons

I thought you just logged off of FT and had sexi time as soon as the GF walked through the door

Stress relief time FTW. What do you think we do after that 30 seconds is over.

I'm having a decent October, except for the lack of volume. I'm at like 6.5ptbb over 10k hands. Oh AND I am up like 4 buyins in EV. I feel left out when everyone complains about how bad they run...

My table coaching recently has been convincing fish to buy in full. Just have them imagine how much more they'd have won when they shoved A7 with 100BB instead of 20!

This is basically what I will say, if anything, to a fish. If he wins a pot, I will basically be massaging his shoulders through the text with stuff like, "whoa nh man" etc etc. But I am 12 tabling most of the time so I usually don't say anything.

Been having a good month myself. This morning I had a hellish session losing two buyins by pretty much losing every race I was in. It would have been worse if not for a very good red line. I think I had 100BB of red line. One of my best.

my day was a pretty big fail yesterday. i was going to call it a day because i was up quite a bit but couldnt resist and played in some games that were really good but sadly... i lost all the money back. AA got cracked 2x and a set over set. gg.

I even bullets and multiple colors...

I just think you guys are underestimating the tolerance of these fish. I just have a hard time imagining fish being so offended that they leave the game when they were planning on staying longer. I spent the summer as a dealer, and when there was a feud between players, no one ever left. If anything, they were more willing to rebuy. Maybe my perception is wrong, but when I come across a super fish (probably 1 tabling), I imagine them as that crappy live player who thinks he is good at poker since he had a huge cash one time.

I just lol`d


Just let the fish have a good time. They are willing to loose their money so make everything possible they feel comfortable while doing this. Yeah, sometimes they will suck out realy bad against you and you want them to die in a grease fire but our profits are coming for them in the longrun.

someone join my nl50 ante tbls.

your post was three times as long as the one you labelled "tl:dr", unless you were prefacing your ramble with a a "tl;dr".

Sorry luka I wasn't referring to your post. I just got through my post and realized it was really long and wanted to warn others of my post. I dont use the forum abbreviations much if you didn't realize.
I still feel altering a fishes view of the game in a negative way is -ev. Even if he keeps playing he will just be looking to play better against you. If he is making terrible calls why berate him and let him no they are bad. Just let him be happy and keep making the terrible plays.
