strategy 4 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Hmm. Are these things really a good way to make money (re: better than cash games)?I dunno. For me, it's much less stressful. I can't second-guess myself in a tournament like I do from time to time in cash gimes. My return on investment in the 180s is about 100%, meaning I can probably do better than $30/hr if I'm continually playing them for a few hours a day.It takes about $1k to play the 180s and there's not much risk of ruin there. Compare that to the $30/hr winrate you're hoping for with two tables of 5/10, the extra $2k in bankroll, and the added stress. It's an easy decision for me. Link to post Share on other sites

It'll work then right? Link to post Share on other sites
therrinn 0 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Train? To Gary? I might be up for it.Hmm. Are these things really a good way to make money (re: better than cash games)?Yeah, thinking about taking the train, will depend on whether a friend wants to have dinner tomorrow night or not.As for the 180s, I had an ROI that hovered around the 100% mark for a long time. I had a downwing and then started playing on party for a change of pace. Since coming back from my brief love affair with party poker, the games have been extremely juicy and I'm around 160%.I'm not really a cash game expert, but I feel like a lot of the cash game players are much better than the tourney players, compared across the stakes you would need to play to make the same sort of money. I just know that my advantage is bigger in tournaments than cash games, and these 180s have proven to be quite reliable. Link to post Share on other sites
ShakeZuma 585 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 you and me shake...you and me babywhats up there my Iraqi residing sexkitten?You know, we could also have a home game.

I've only cashed once, but I've put myself in so many +EV positions that I know that I'll do well in them. Link to post Share on other sites

mrdannyg 274 Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 wow, i must've missed that strat guide from Mr Mexico the first time around. Really not much to argue with there, especially considering that the uglier girls generally have decent personalities too.I might just have to throw it in a couple ugpigs in the next few weeks, though it's a bit tough in my current living situation.Actually, in the spirit of Mexy, I went to a class tonight, and completely ignored the good-looking blond girl sitting on my left, and chatted up the marginally-attractive brunette instead. She told me of a party on saturday, which of course involved me getting her phone number as well.She's definitely the type of girl that I probably should toss it in, and while i'm not really that interested in doing so, i'll probably regret it if i don't.also, i know from experience that she keeps her mouth shut if a guy does something horribly awkward/embarassing sexually, so that's a relief.How the **** do my posts always get so long?Oh, and 180s are a decent money-making strat, but tourneys really are for suckers. If you can beat the 180s, you can make more in cash games. Link to post Share on other sites
