you were 100% right!! thanks!

ty

haha

I practice avoidance with the whole reg wars thing. Concentrate on playing pots with the weaker players.


gl with the moving up

At the point where I want to move up asap. Starting to play more table to achieve this and will cut right back down once I get to 50nl.

Just so you know and wont start to post BBV hands ITT...

50NL IS RIGGED!

Confirmed, see 5 posts up

LOL. Sorry, should have clarified that was in my FIRST 22 hands of the session.

I totally know what you mean. Just make sure the card back's color really sticks out vs background and table. But in this regard Full Tilt has actually one of the more clear layouts. This problem was worse for me on pretty much any site there is.

what when and why?

Welcome to uNL R2R72!

Paddymctaff, you're added and I skyped you mine. Could only play for a bit last night when I got home from work. Close to being called this morning, but I'll have two plus days off! Gov't passed a law on our rest requirements and I've about topped out!

Yeah, this struck me as an odd complaint. 22 hands just fly by for me. Only time being card dead annoys me is when there's a whale who is looking to go bust as fast as possible.

How many tables?

Oh, haha, I guess that I misunderstood.

I don't usually have this problem - my card backs are like neon lime green.

i use yellow card backs

unfortunately i was wrong anticipating again
i abandoned Breaking Bad after 3 and a half episodes...
maybe it's something wrong with me
next try: sons of anarchy

got up $500 on two rush tables, felt like quitting but wanted to put in more hands, so I rathole them.

my win rate has increased since i change card backs.

At NL100? I mean idk how people view it, and I never ratholed rush so far, but I feel it's at least a little different there. You have no table dynamic, you didn't just stack a guy and then leave the table. I think you can't even tilt anybody with that behavior. If at a regular table you stack a reg for 200bb and then sit out and join another table - I bet he's pissed. At rush he likely won't even notice.

btw, mmmmmh

idk, haven't seen a lot of those shows, but if you don't like Dexter, you might as well give up finding a show you like

it wasn't a single score....I just got really deep and wanted to not think that much.

I guess it's fine either way.

push through some of the boring parts of breaking bad, it gets good

I was only single tabling (on my wife's laptop with a touchpad that I am terrible at using, and no HUD). Basically playing just because I wasn't ready to go to bed yet, but after about an hour, I started clicking back through the hand history and realized that I hadn't had a single pocket pair, and was just running ice cold in general. Oh, well. Shake it off, and jump back in around lunchtime today and see what I can grind.

Northern Exposure! Always thought Maggie (Janine Turner) was pretty damn hot in that show. I've never watched an episode of Wire, Office, Dexter or any of the HBO series either. Overall I think television sucks anymore for primetime media. Too much reality crap too. China Beach, Colleen McMurphy (Dana Delaney) was a good show too.

wtf's up the people critiquing your quitting a table whether you're "ratholing" or not? Brunson mentions numerous times in 'Poker Wisdom of a Champion' you can quit WHENEVER you want. Seriously, someone gets pwned for a couple of stacks and cries RATHOLER when the guy leaves? Anyone should be able to bank their $$$ and go when they want.

One mans Biatch is always another man' Queen lol!

it's usually not so much the leaving. that isn't even ratholing. ratholing is securing your profit and coming back with a shorter stack, aka going south. (so, what the short stackers did). Whatever comment Doyle made about it isn't really applicable, because you just can't rat hole live really well, whereas online it's easy with all the tables available. But again, I feel Rush is kinda different.

Maybe this makes me a douche, but if I get over 150BB deep with a LAG on my left who is also deep, then I'm out. I also leave if the fish leaves and I have a bunch of TAGS tags left (unless they let me steal), or if thier is a table dynamic that I don't think I have a big edge in. The way I see it, I am here to make money and learn. If thier is a reason I don't think I can play profitably, or if I think their is a reason that table is less profitable than another table, I'm out. It's not like I'm not at another table or won't play again, and their are only 2 players I would actively avoid (split and starscream - 1 has 2 stacks of mine and the other just scares the crap outta me), so you will have plenty of chances to take the money back.

Yeah, I don't have a problem with that at all (and if I had it wouldn't be your problem anyway). I think what really annoys people (and myself) is ratholing short handed, i.e. play HU or 3-4handed, take a stack and snap leave.. Or even worse, 3bet the first hand and snap sitout.

I can see that SH.

and LOL at 3 bet sit out. I think that anyone doing that would get notes pretty quick and wind up seeing a LOT of 4 bets.
