To be honest, I'm so outplayed by you all that I'm embarassed. I tried most of 2007 to hang with the LP'ers and earned a few ladder points, but my best showing had been a second (to myth, who had a bounty on his head,which went unclaimed I'm sorry to say) and third. I hadn't played in the weekly tournament since last Christmas. And I r...

Are we still having sunday tourneys? What has become of myth? Anyone wanna give me a clue?

I was doing well until I picked up pocket aces. UTG I raised 4x, only to have the player on my left re-raise. Though I really didn't want to get all in pre-flop so early in the game,...

Since I've only played real money games on pokerstars, I have no basis for comparison. After 18 games (I play SNG's almost exclusively), my line according to sharkscope: Avg stake = $9 Avg profit = $8 Avg ROI = 73% Total profit = $139 Compared to the embarassment that are my stats for pokerstars, ...

After ending last Sunday $300 up, I worked through the week running that up to $465, only to run that down to about $200 by this afternoon's event. Playing stupid and donking off my chips one sng after another. since it's father's day, I'm going to step away from the computer for a while after the LP tourney. I'll try to come back fre...

Go figure. Usually you find me playing $6.50 turbo two-tables. I played in $16 2-tables when my bankroll was bigger, but donking out in ten or fifteen minutes @ $16 a pop cuts into the roll pretty heavily. But today was different. I haven't played a $16 in a while, so today I thought I would give it a shot. Glad I did,...

Can anyone share use experience with this program, i.e. is it safe to run, no bugs etc., do you find it helpful? Your input is appreciated.

I was able to win my first match in the HU tourney, but up against Roald in my second match I don't think I stood a chance. He played pocket fours well and took most of my stack on one hand. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/179248 In the Weekly, I faired no better...

If I seem excited about coming out twenty bucks ahead, it's because I'm used to losing twenty bucks instead. Four $6 sng's, two cashes, both thirds. Made a couple dollars at the fishing hole too. I think I'm on a roll.

Got up at 5 am and got in a two-table sng with a $6 buy in and quickly donked out. But I had time before work to try again, so I got in another. I played well, got good cards, and sucked out when I needed to enough to build a nice chip lead. But it was getting near time to go to work and I hadn't even gotten dressed yet. So I sat out with five of us remaining and a ...

Game is rigged. The whole world is against me. I got all in with a/10 spades, against fives and queen high. Flop hit the queen and another five, and so ends my tourney. Looks like I retained my spot on the ladder though. RaSZi wasn't there to pull further away. Really only vltava pulled away a bit. I'm going to have to cash next week. http://ww...

I had felt I was doing well enough at play money games and that this pokerstars thing would be a breeze. So I made a deposit of $50 (big money!) and entered a five-table $10 + 1 sitngo. Much to my chagrin, I donked out in 30th place. Undeterred, I immediately entered a three table, with similar results. Now I...

I found a link to a hand posted here that I was involved in. I actually had won the hand, but I was sitting with no money at the table and didn't win much. I guess that was his point with the post. What I found in LP was a lot of brash talking poker players, some deep discussion of mathematical theory, blah, blah , blah. And so I set ...
