| Charles Hawk: Do you think it would be possible to be in relationship if you would be live cash reg?
Helio “hneves182” Neves: Everything is possible if you make the best out of it, I know a guy who lives in Vegas and is a live cash pro that is married with 2 kids and still manages to put in a lot of hours at the tables, and is quite stable. |

yep
cartels are a pretty new thing, at least on smaller stakes than 1ks, it all started around the end of last year |

"Helio “hneves182” Neves: The cartel groups work is simple: if you're in, you sit outsiders opensitting. That way we don't have the ridiculously large sharky lines that we had last year.
Charles Hawk: How about playing each other? Are you allowed to do that?
Helio “hneves182” Neves: Sure, nobody gets protection."
I didnt quite get this

Yeah, I just explained it without taking into account people that have 0 idea what it is would read it, and so did him, most of the site's audience has an idea at least.
HUsng lobbies work like this: a reg sits, waits for a fish, fish sits reg, next reg sits next lobby (could simulsit another reg). Then someone came up with a program that creates a line and let's you choose what you want, to sit an empty lobby and/or sit X type of opponentes (based on PS color note tag)
This created a bumhunter-like enviroment after a while, since a lot of regs wouldn't sit regs and just wait for their turn. After some time, people moved up and stakes started getting crowded, and nobody was beating newcomers down to the previous stakes. Some of us were trying, but the lines were still too big and at peak hours it was over 40ppl long to get a seat, play a fish in a 3mins match and go back to the end of the line.
So starting from the higher stakes, people started organizing and deciding that the better regs had to start pushing the worst ones/bumhunters down. The groups were formed and after battling and swapping members to get the best fighters inside, eventually things started looking better. At $100 stakes there were maybe 200-300 guys considered regs, today our group has 85, so we don't have to wait at the end of huge lines anymore
Hope that explains it a little bit. This made sure sngs wouldn't end up like HU cash, and it was possible because you're forced to play someone that sits you in a sng. So if you're weak you just gonna have to move the fk down. |

Obv anyone can sit anyone who is on a lobby, but if anyone but us gets an empty one, we snapsit that person. And the only way to play fish is by being on a empty lobby and waiting for a fish, so we have tham all to ourselves. |

They do, not a lot since the group is made of probably the best ppl on the stake
I can post, it's just that after some time hands stop looking interesting, after you herocall 100k times it doesn't feel impressive anymore, I guess I just forget it can still be interesting to others |

I always liked looking at your hands because it let me remember the good ole days of playing husngs on stars. Recently started playing them on bovada, but it doesn't feel the same . |

don't you worry about the games getting solved (or "solved" to the point that rake eats up any edge)? it seems like those hypers/turbos would be the first game types to be solved, no?
well, and the cap hu cashgames, but i mean any shorter-stack hunl format. |

not really, it is still way too complex, if there was no rake the best player would still be happy to play the 2nd best player and would have a decent edge |
