I feel like poker is a game for people, not bots. What if a chess championship was played by bots? It wouldn't even be poker anymore.

Also, it devalues necessary attributes such as discipline by eliminating emotions. I personally think the notion of legalizing poker bots is disgusting.

and the fatigue element is gone. If you aren't coasting, poker can be really mentally exhausting.

It's ok. I felt like a baller using level 3 thinking or whatever, I usually fold QQ in that spot.

Thats why i shoved figured you fold almost everything there nice hand man. Its kind of cool to be able to have reg wars at 4nl. I think with our history calling there with QQ is mega standard I would call fairly wide there. I think you are winning at this point. PM me if you want to talk about our games.

johnnynytt, what level did you play on PS/FTP? 25NL and 50NL, right?

It is LOL to see so many of us playing several levels lower on merge.

yeah stars only. Mostly 25nl but I had an OK win rate at 50. I had a decent winrate at 25 playing 20+ tables over large sample. I played too many tables at 50 and never really maximized my potential really imo. Did you play on stars? PM me screen same maybe I will remember. FWIW 4nl is the real deal.

I won a few freerolls on carbon thats really only reason I still play online went from 0 to having a small bankroll so figured I just mess around for fun.

Let me know if you want to just donk around or HUFROZL ect

BTW - I'm trying to gauge the interest in a fantasy football league. Escrows can be done through Paypal, Greendot, BoA, and Merge. We can have a similar set up to last year's leagues - $10, $25, and $50 league ($100 if enough interest). PM me or write in the chat thread if ppl are interested. Even if 10 ppl are interested in a particular stake, we can get a league going.

I'll volunteer to set up if ppl are interested.

I'd be interested in a $10 league. I'm going to be a Merge reg as soon as I'm allowed to sign-up again.

I was "funkyj66" on PokerStars. I wanted to be "funkyj" but it was taken (LDO). the 15 months before BF, I played 99% on FTP, Rush poker 50NL.

Before that I played 50NL on PS. Before that, 10NL, 5NL and 2NL on PS. I played my first play money iPoker on PS back in November 2007. Before that I had never really played poker.

If some 2+2 folks are screwing around on a 4NL table let me know and I'll join you, otherwise I'll see you at 10NL.

What freeroll did you win? How much prize $$? What was your progression through the merge stakes? Did you have to start out at 2NL? Are you HEM or PT3? (PT3 here).

They were some freerolls through raketherake. Pretty small tournies like 50-60 peeps. I got first once which was on like $30 or so and got 2nd and final tabled a few times to get myself like $50 to start with. No 2nl on merge so just started underrolled at 4nl and now am getting close to being able to move to 10nl soon.

Unfortunately and fortunately I just scored real job so pokers will be minimal and have a little johnnytt on the way so doubt I get many hands in so I probably start hitting 10 nl since BR wont matter much because I wont be putting any real volume in.

Using HEM here. How about you how you get started on merge?

I was xHowAmIxNotMyselfx (no x's) on FTP. How about you? I'm a pretty meh reg so you probably have some notes about how terrible I am. Amuse me and tell me what these notes say. What was your FTP SN? PM me if you don't want to say. My FTP and Merge SN are related via a favorite movie (not Brazil).

I just deposited $250, the biggest amount I wouldn't be too upset to lose when they get DOJ-ed.

I think this is probably the main reason so many people are playing so much lower on Merge. With the current environment, initial bankroll = "how much money can I throw away and not be too upset."
