Oh, Dont get your panties all up in a bunch big guy

I guess next time you say "I only have one hand to type with" I'll just keep my perverted thoughts to myself.

[donk4life 34]

Don't play the min-stacks... send them to my table instead :PSeriously, I have my greatest win rates by playing these opponents. 99% of them are suuuuuper easy opponents who will more than likely go bust within the first 20 hands. It's always a great session when I end up playing 5 of these guys back to back in the span of maaaaybe 70 hands total and am up 1 buy in with *zero* effort.

I agree with this, but today I ran into 3 players in a row that bought in for the absolute-minimum and I doubled all of them up. The next thing I know I get hit and ran. That's the biggest problem I have with these players, they aren't looking to play you long term or try to get a big score, they only want to make 5 or 6 dollars because their bankroll is small and taking the "safe route". Whereas those who buy-in with a fullstack more than likely will play you for a decent amount of time..I wish there was a way to calculate win rates against players with specific buy-in amounts..

This throught process is way off. The same goes for when people say "The rake was killing me, I ended up only up xxx because of rake".One. Long. Session.

my first thought is LOLmy second thought is over how many hands

I'm not sure of how many hands. My computer is ****ed and i've been using a laptop for about a week while its getting fixed therefore have no stats. I only got that graph cause I shipped my HH's to Teddy and he did it for me.I just know I'm down about $200 at 25max and up about $700 at 200max.

Kinda silly to call it a merger imo, I would call it more of a partnership, but what do I know.

Except I think it's actually a merger at the corporate level. That is the people who own cardrunners now own stoxpoker. Kinda makes sense. They can run Stox as their low stakes/lower cost/entry level product and run CR as their higher stakes/higher cost/more big name talent site. They'll pickup people who were going to DC because DC didn't have an initiation fee (I have to admit that's part of the reason I went to DC) without losing money from the people who are willing to pay top dollar for the top/most specialized CR content.I have a feeling there's still to many training sites out there with DC, CR, Stox, PXF, PVT, PokerSavy, Leggo, etc. I wouldn't be surprised to see some more mergers happen.

The only problem is that 20 hands can eat up 20 BB worth or rake at 50NL HU. Fortunately these guys typically bust in 4 hands.I do remember once getting a guy down to like $3 at 50NL and asked him to reload. He said it was his last money and he couldn't so I quit him. Some other dude sat down at the table and after a bunch of up and down busted him for like 10c profit after the rake took the rest.

another long day of being stuck. had AA 10x and KK 12x and was down w/ both, but whateverBut finally Robusto for the month. +.4BIs after 7.3K hands. And Iam not on pace to hit 40k hands like I wanted, but we will see if I can get there.I think I am playing fairly well but I cant wait till the 18th, hopefully the coaching will help me get out of my 15k hand breakeven slump.

Nothing makes me happier than hands like this where they make a stupid raise, make an even stupider call of a reraise, and 'get there' so you can stack them. LOVE IT!Mark

How ****ing retarded am I? Now I just proved I'm too stupid to ever have a joke account.I just tried to create my first one, even made a Yahoo email address for it, and tried to log in in two tabs on Mozilla so I could reply under King1305, and it logged the other one out.SIGH.

when i was getting a new computer, i was told that xps was just bells and whistles basically. and that you're way overpaying for it. i dunno if thats true or not, just what i was told.

[Acid_Knight 2]

HU players..Do you bother playing players that sit in with the absolute minimum at the table?For example: at .25/.5 a player sits with 10, do you play them or just move on? More than likely they suck but is it even worth it?

they are easy money imo

For anyone interested, I will be taking a new HU student next week. For those that don't know, Bdc30 and Merby have both been students of mine and their results speak for themselves. If you are interested PM me or IM me (screen name is same as here) for details.
