Ive started betting sports seriously with the help of a friend that runs a betting website and therefore im privy to his picks and he is a beast. As for the micro betting thread i started it was more to just be able to bet almost every game that is ever on tv as im a complete action junkie. I struggle to watch sport without money on it even if its only $5 - $10.

As for books i think i like the Greek or Bet Jamaica the best

Ive never been so sad in my life. Not good when i cant even win at the league i organized !!!

Good thing is i will be setting up the leagues again next year so i get revenge

I am really tight as compared with most of the people on 2+2 but i have always been of the opinion that there is little point in playing a 16/14 style if you a) cant play it well and b) the style doesnt work against people that arent willing to fold. I think if you understand your competition that fitting your game to it is best. I dont have the desire to move up and therefore i can play somewhat exploitably to better players as the better players arent the ones with the money i want.

I start tables because i dont like passing money about between the same 6 regs that are always at my tables

I dont do as much session reviewing as i should, most likely because im not really sure what im looking for. I tend to make notes on regs pretty extensively at the tables and play based on those notes and tendencies that i have seen them have over time. Most of the money is obv made from fish but being profitable, even slightly, against regs will certainly help the WR

Yeah it was a huge win for me. I almost quit my job to go "pro" in fantasy football.

I'm definitely in for next year.

Guess thats where i failed, i quit my job based on my runner up finish Oh wait i dont have a job.... fail me

Not sure if you answered this before but your game is obviously solid, and you beat 50NL at a steady clip why the lack of desire to move up at least to 100NL?

Surely just doubling your hourly earn in rakeback/fpps alone would make it worth it.

An excellent player and no doubt an even better person. This is bound to be a great Well! Much success to you my friend in Life, with your g/f and future plans, and in the upcoming Grind House.

No questions, just wanted to let you know I was about and in your corner.

lol i keep asking where you see yourself in 5 years and yet you don't answer. please do.

.

He said this?

If you were xxxxEastlandxxxx would you stab yourself in the leg or somewhere else?

Do you think they should bring back the yearly Scotland v England footy games?

Is this miniFTOPs series going to be the one where we finally ship a decent result?

Will you beat me in our prop bet for the month?

+1111 to all the praise for El Nino. He's been a really solid friend for the last few months and has helped me a ton with my game. Thank you sir I hope I'm going to be able to make it to Vegas this year and the micro grind house so I can shake your hand in person.

Really cant answer why i havent moved up. Due to some circumstances beyond my control i currently am forced to play for a living and as a result tend to withdraw a substantial amount of money winnings for expenditure, which doesnt allow me to build the 100nl roll that i would like. I mean id want 10k and i just dont keep that much in my account so kind of makes moving up hard. That said i could and should probably move up and get the benefits of rakeback at the higher limit

You need to be in the grind house. So what that your married and have a job

ah he answered it the second time around. yo el nino you cant do that. i will be in vegas next summer so you must so too obv.

If you were xxxxEastlandxxxx would you stab yourself in the leg or somewhere else?

All i will say about the guy is that he sure does play a lot of poker without improving. I was amazed by his PTR and his lack of improvement. Only guy i will fold bottom set to on a dry board.

Do you think they should bring back the yearly Scotland v England footy games?

100%

Is this miniFTOPs series going to be the one where we finally ship a decent result?

Doubtful. We have made some decent runs but cant seem to get over the hump. Altho i will be playing a full schedule so hopefully.

Will you beat me in our prop bet for the month?

Not a chance, you are crushing. That said next month your not getting a headstart. Altho after having a db review with Mpethy im holding out hope of crushing your soul

I appreciate all the kind words. If only my gf could read this on the occasions that i piss her off then my world would be a better place. Glad to have been able to help although i think you did most of the changes without me. Never thought id be this happy to have a Jock as a friend. And yes get to Vegas

Need to have a 'real' job before the gf will marry me so if i can combine it with a real job then i most certainly will be in Vegas next summer

Can you take the Bar Exam in TX and practice some personal law?

i would need to take a years conversion course to convert the degree and i really didnt click in the law field so im thinking that i might run my own business.

I wonder if my gf considers charging $25 an hour to coach players a regular job ????

walking into the tarp i see. sigh. jk im sure she is nice. is she a brit? can we get a pic? of you and her maybe?

Why not? It's pretty steady and reliable work, I'd imagine and I'm sure at that price, you'd have a good market of microstakers.

No actually she is American. Her name is Jessica and i will see if i can find a good picture of her to post too, but for now here is my ugly mug

Id certainly love to start coaching and consider this post as me advertising my coaching at $25 an hour Pm me with requests

Just found this picture of my set up and thought you guys might have interest

grind, rent grind flat, buy suit, drive to "work", sorted.

Oh hey count me in for that! Let me know when the sign ups are if you guys are still looking for players
