Too funny

I was just about to post that exact video, guy's evidently not all there but what a legend.

Not really sure what possessed the black dude to pick a fight with EBM in the first place considering he's fairly huge and resembles an older Zangief.

Hey can you guys click the "run it twice" button plz? I'll pay the 5 dollars or so extra rake per day to have much less variance.

No one seems to be using it.

Where's the graph? Why do people want to come in here and talk about how much they make or how good/bad they run yet never post a lifetime graph + EV line? Irock is the only one with the balls to do that. Everyone else must be fronting IMO.

i run good all in ev wise. but then again I'm just another mediocre reg. I think the only claim I've made is that I'm better than larghetto, and I stick to that regardless of AIEV.

I'm not going to post a graph because I fear the wrath of the poker gods, which is why I have an altar to them beside my desk that I sacrifice swedish fish to before every session.

Nobody questions that you're better than larghetto, except maybe larghetto, and his opinion on all matters is deemed worthless by me, Nick Rivers.

I don't believe your claims of superstition. It's obviously something else but, yes, you do acknowledge that you're just another mediocre reg, so you don't have any big reputation or braggadocio to uphold. I'm in the same boat; if everyone ITT posted a lifetime graph, I'd probably be somewhere in the middle.

Anyone have any theories as to why I consistently do better without a HUD than with a HUD?

LOL he's obviously trying to prove something by coming in here and posting his win rate.

I'm glad you can separate the message from the messenger but, even still, I don't front at all. I make no questionable claims about myself.

I was only posting the fact that I ran completely at EV over 500k hands. I provided my winrate to show that it was not some runhot at highstakes to get me at EV or above EV (HI MOONSHINE!!)

Yet you won't post a graph to verify these claims.

I guess that's a reasonable first step. I noticed you went with BB instead of $, which is kind of weak-sauce, but it's better than nothing. gg.

TJ, serious question. You have one of the better win rates I've seen, do you game select a lot and avoid playing regs? I'm not trying to insult game selection (or bumhunting as its adversaries call it). I'm just wondering how much value there is in playing HU since I usually play 6m and only play HU when starting empty tables.

Maybe he posted that to prove his WR.

way off in my experience. the best players at my stakes I've played with in my FTP career were always a little bit laggier than 21/18. In fact I can't think of one great 21/18 std tag. However there are way more guys playing around those stats vs laggier or super nitty so thats why it may seem like that to you.

while I don't think hes terrible, I beg to differ on this. I could see him being a very good 2/4 player tho

I think tcorbin could go "busto" 2 times in 2010 and still make more than nicolak
