***Official 2009 Micro Stakes FR Full Tilt Regulars Thread*** - Page 378 - Micro Stakes Pot Limit and No Limit

I am not going to buy HH of course, as i don't want to get in trouble with the site, but would it hurt to get some from a friend?

Also, how is that cheating? Do you consider poker books cheating? For instance, in Chess players exchange their notations(like HH here) to have information on how their opponets play. The same goes here. If that's cheating then reading poker books is also cheating along with this forum.

Do people here who are friends with someone exchange their HH or something?

In correspondence chess it is actually banned to use game score databases when playing. You can use game scores in books but not masses in a database. This is analogous to poker sites banning HH's you didn't play but allowing you to look at HH's in books or on 2plus2.

Don't get a friend's database.

Don't worry about whether it is cheating or not--reasonable people could differ on this. Just accept that the sites don't want you doing it, and don't do it.

Alright, i won't. Just requested my 65k+(35k+ at 25l) HH and will wait when that will arrive. Thanks for all advice you had given me.

similarly, I got it AIPF with KK (or was it AA?) in a 4 way pot (I was the biggest stack) and not only did I lose the main pot when I was the favorite (standard) but I had the lowest ranking hand of the 4 at showdown. I believe the worst hand PF made a straight for the best hand at SD.

OMFG, lets all stand around and laugh as the RNG kicks funkyj in the nards! LOL

Yes, you're allowed.

The saddest thing is that after 20K hands you can expect to be still 18BI below EV as you have 0 EV expectation. You can't expect to ever catch up.

And, does anybody else feel like FT turned up the riggedness of the games for the holidays? Seems like a ton of coolers and bad beats. It's been going both ways, so I can't complain as much as Sammy, but def seems like the best way to win is to do something dumb.
