WoeUntoMe posts the big blind of $2
Up 300 real fast, then somehow down 300

KK loses to KK AIPF for a buyin:
WoeUntoMe posts the big blind of $20
Any of you guys do this as well, or am I one of the few who play 50/1 and 10/20 within the span of hours. Tskillz seems to thinks its not a winning strategy.
(Some background, I have played a bunch of 5/10 live, and some 10/20, so I am fairly comfortable with the stakes, just saying I'm not a small stakes only who is way out of his league, altough i probably am, but then again, out of all the stakes, the 10/20 seemed the softest, anyone else find this?)

I find the 1/2 2/4 stuff is INCREDIBLY nitty.
I am well aware they play different online than live, but the stakes, IE money played with is the same, which is was i meant, and jesus, the 2/4 9 handed was the nittiest game ive ever played in.
Haha at the live game.
I scored a 125ish, by the way.

It's mostly 2x-year-old college dropout "pros" multi-tabling from a 5-year-old PC in mom's basement, and they're wondering where the good old days have gone. Most of them are making their "living" on rakeback and their one nutted hand every three hours. If they can clear $1.50 per table, per hour and play 6 tables, they figure they're good.
It's not really a poker game.

I think we all know my style of breakeven poker is the best way to go. Whenever you win, it's completely attributed to skill and outclassing the opposition, whenever you lose it's because you run worse than anyone ever, seriously.

To me Thunder Bay sounds like a teeny bopper summer camp to go to.

But yeah, Vegas better be cool. Or my life is gonna suck.

Today I bet bigjoe 3k that I can make 25k playing the 60's in 30 days. I've been a little sick lately but once i recover i will be 20-25 tabling the 60's for 30 days and will try to make more than anyone ever has at the 60's in a 30 day period. This will not be easy but I know with my dertermination I can win this bet. The bet will start within the next week. I'll post my results daily, wish me luck!

Sounds reasonable, I mean, that's just an insane number of tables and sngs to be playing.
I guess there are far more factors working against him than there are working for him, so I'd take the bet at 2-1 I guess.

What did you do the rest of the trip? Is Acid Knight being an overprotective mother?
I had a few nights of moderately controlled gambling, as a method of getting free drinks, and just having fun.
I find it enjoyable to start downtown and just go casino to casino playing a different game at each, for min bets, and just drink a couple rounds, and then take the bus to the north end of the strip or whatever.
It's good times. Only gamboool with money I am prepared to lose now, anyways.
