I no longer feel I have anything to offer.

And it's not because of things like this happening:

I mean that could happen to good players as well.

What proofs beyond a shadow of a doubt that I suck is SexyAngeline called me out by name and asked me to play her at a Heads Up table.

I mean that just breaks your heart and makes you realize that this game is just not for you.

Haha I like you

I really wouldn't be surprised if the optimal strategy for fr did involve limping. But that being said, If it is, why don't you play 35/15 and why aren't people crushing fr playing that strat? (Eccentric_BG doesn't really count here since plays mostly 6m)

The funny thing is I think if i was given the arbitrary choice of playing my standard game or playing some limping strategy with equally proficiently (Ie as skilled with one as I am the other) then I would choose the limping strat.

a strategy involving limping can surely be effective, but as for 35/15? i only know of one reg that plays 35/15 and have no reason to assume that this reg is actually a winner

basically this, if it was so good and optimal i think either more people would be playing this strategy or someone would be killing it playing this loose.

Yeah, you'd have to have great hand-reading skills (that's at least 95% of regs ruled out straight away), great focus, and know your opponents' styles very well. You wouldn't be able to multi-table too many for too long either. It may be possible to win like that but it would be far from optimal.

I'm sure that decent winrates could be achieved with a style that involves lots of limping.

^10/10 for the volley, and the save onto the bar.

UK Gay Crew: I'm in London with the family for three nights in Feb, Tue 18 - Thu 20. If you have a game one of those nights and could use another player then let me know. x

a lot of fitness is what you want to achieve, what you are willing to sacrafice, and what your genetics will allow you to have. I'm pretty lucky, Tim is as well (completely different goals and body types tho).

Agreed, what I meant to say is if u r not even willing to change nutrition (or at least try to change) "I don't want to stop eating bread and pasta bc I i like it too much" than bodybuilding/fitness will get fairly frustrating bc it will not be possible to get superior results...
I know what I'm talking bc I worked out wit mediocre nutrition from 18 til 24 and results where meh, and with solid nutrition after and results were decent. I can only say over and over again nutrition is at least 60% and if u r not willing to learn and sacrifice here u will not meet ur goals...

I just picked those numbers as some reg who spazzed on me said that's what I play. I don't use a HUD while playing so I have no idea what I am.

I can recommend a standing desk to everyone on the grind. I've had one for about half a year and I love it.

a bit off topic guys but please assist me. I play on Winning Poker Network (American) and their VIP system is identical to Stars. unfortunately it will be impossible to get the highest tier but I think the 2nd highest tier is certainly doable.

I just started out ~7 days ago and am currently tier 3. Now, i see I have three $10 bonuses I have accumulated. Should I be accepting these bonuses ASAP, or should I be waiting until I move up tiers? or, is it irrelevant? Again, most months I will qualify for the 3rd highest tier and hoping by the end of the year I make 2nd highest tier. So any advice on how to approach the VIP benefits? I am only semi-familiar with it.
