LOL? Should I have called this. Odd that he just shoves. Am I ahead most of the time here? Villian is 25/6/7. Don't really have any reads other than that. Since it was early in the SnG I felt ok folding.

Ehh. I just saw the poker tracker numbers. I did not notice them before.

Having seen them, I have to say.....

????????????????????????

he plays a 25 / 6 ??? with a post flop aggression of SEVEN?

This means he is very loose pre flop and ridiculously aggressive post flop. I find the fold baffling.
 
Bedhead, you are giving people too much credit. You are not beaten every time you are raised.

remember, very few people play low stakes games for a living. most of them are playing low stakes for one simple reason.

THEY SUCK AT POKER. Like this clown for example.

This is a $26 game, SECOND OR THIRD HAND

I am not making this up. I swear this happened.

button open limps for 80. I push 13 big blinds in from SB with AT. big blind calls.


THE BUTTON decides to limp/OVERCALL BOTH ALL-INS with JACK TEN OFFSUIT.

this is a $75 game, the highest level 45 man that runs on full tilt.
 
Bedhead, you are giving people too much credit. You are not beaten every time you are raised.

Ya, I'm kicking myself now. As I watched him in later hands he was a spewtard. Folding was stupid there. AQ was definitely good there.

holy shit. I just checked him on poker stars. 99.99 in 07. 99.99 in 08. and 100.00 in 2009 !???

And that is in addition to the $400,000 he made on full tilt!?

What is it that they do that we aren't? I want to observe them.
 
Is anybody that plays on stars reloading this month and taking a stab at the free rolls? I'm thinking about it just for fun. Free rolls are free rolls... but they'd be a nice change of pace. Plus, if you win you get a ticket to the 20k (I think it is?) free roll in late june. In total stars is giving away 300k in prize $.
 
alas, for me, freerolls are negative EV.

They count against my rakeback, and they occupy space on the screen that could be better used for a more pforitable game.

Also, I think poker stars is negative EV. The players there are better right? So why play there?
 
1 Hr playing 3 tbls of 5NL and 1 tbl of 2NL... made $10.82 8o. Time to quit my $8/hr job. :o

Not really, but running with god mode on feels good after getting horrific beats in the last few SnGs. People willing to stack off w/ 10s helps too. :)
Talking VPIPs of 65 - 80 :)

Overall, I'm positive for cash games and in the red for SnGs. I'm running slightly above EV for cash and like 3 million dollars under EV for SnGs. Go figure.

Nguboi is right. Volume is the key. You must be careful about making conclusions based on a sample size of 210 games. If you are playing good poker, then you are in good shape. That is all that matters. I have had 200 game stretches of over 50% ROI at single table SNGs. And I have had strateches of 200 where I made nothing at all.
 
So, I have a baby stack on the bubble, so I start nitting it up big time trying to just cash, figuring I have little chance to do much else anyway.

Then this shit happens. Player 7 needs to get his head out of his ass, as player 8 had been sitting out (rather obviously) for three orbits.

Seat 1: player 1 (16,506)
Seat 2: PLAYER 2(27,850)
Seat 4: Player 4 (7,552)
Seat 6: player 6(3,284)
Seat 7: player 7(4,575)
Seat 8: Player 8(2,858), is sitting out
