9max FR:
*me = super nitbag

*random shortstack donkey like 20bbs
*fatdan44
*weak tite
*some random asshole lper who reads my blog/hands trying to outplay me with hands in position 3betting faggot (lol)
*studboy
*prairie hawk

now where the fuck will the money come from?!? yeah good times lolol

obv me prolly lol

yeh

improve your game other than full ring. or improve your full ring game and crush the regulars. what else is there to be said?

Wth, didn't expect Weak Tite to be at NL100 full ring (especially the full ring part) :0

whos the 3betting asshole?

I saw weak tite shortstacking NL200 recently

played with weak tite not too long ago 2/4 6max on FTP

hes bad as usual

he shouldve kept his clown icon.. suits his shortstacking ass perfectly.

someone once told me that you're an internet cop

eyyyyyy yoooo

dude, no offence but you seem to complain more than you actually play.
if you're complaining about the toughness of the tables on 100nl FR u should quit now, cause it aint gonna get any better as you move up.
even @ 200nl i have to admit there would be some tables that are not that profitable to play on, but you just have to use a little bit of table selection to solve this.

so quit crying and more playing imo *shrugs*

and your a eyyyyyy yoooooo

lol I kinda understand about 400nl being tough but 100nl is a joke

If you think 200NL is tough only play poker at peak time. Your winrate will increase atleast by 1.5

its all relative.. to me 400nl is a joke and to peachy the games i find tough are a joke. the point is theyre getting quite a bit tougher than they were before

true. but what i meant is that there is no game in 200NL where you would leave because tables are all full of 'super solid professionals'. I think if your not better then half the regulars in your stakes you should move down. I played 200NL even when i had 100buyin for 400NL game just because my pt/bb was more then double.

who cares if you are a 1bb winner in a (relatively) tough 200nl game, why would you stick around when you can join one with fish for 5bb

my friend...

in poker it is essential to practice daily to attain familiarity, treating them (bad beats, suck outs, losing a lot) as ordinary affairs, so the mind remains calm and unchanged...

this is what you lack...

and oh...

but if you practice daily for two years and still couldn't attain familiarity especially at small stakes, then you're fucked!

ok guys i will crush everyone now...hihihihi

Yesterday (Sunday) at Party 400NL, well over half of the tables were full of only 19/17 regs, an ok shortstacker and maybe 1 idiot shortstack until the european evening. Now I'm sure that these games are ridiculously soft to a higher player, and there's loads of scope for money still since the regs are aggro as hell when they play a hand, but has it always been this dry of fish? That's not a rhetorical question - only been at this limit for a couple months.

crushing...

crushing requires a crushing mood, as when you view an opponent as weak and become strong yourself, thus overwhelming your adversary... if your crushing is weak, it can backfire.

yes yes i will weakly crush them!

hihihihihihi

everyone makes mistakes.

play solid poker

the traffic at 400nl is not that great. At some points in the day I only see like 12 tables running. I think in January right after the holidays there was a sudden influence of mega fish. There's still money to be made though.

the weekend games are still quite fishy and soft last time i played

o u shuld play in the eu prime time or usa prime time

so best to change sleep sched? lol

i dont know what when eu prime time is. i live in the philippines, same time zone with taipei

Wow weak tite at 100 nl? Poor guy.

weak tite has been all over the place

all sorts of games

every level

downswing prolly huh

how can i find this post? i have been out for almost 2 weeks and haven't kept up with things. sounds like something i might want to read.

i think also a lot of regs get into a comfort zone and aren't willing to really improve their game, then other people do and they are left behind.

There's not lack of fishes at NL400, it's just that fishes are camouflaged with TAG stats and the regulars are tougher and think in a higher level than the lower stakes. Midstakes its still profitable

i played with weak tite at 400NL 6m today

and lol Frink, he's not horrible, you always seem to overexaggerate how bad some regulars are

you are like those bums screaming about the end of the world in the streets

hmm hes playing nl100 fr now still, maybe hes learning full ring

yeah because 6max players have to work pretty hard to "learn fullring"

lol

that table u posted looks fairly soft.

Weak tite has turned gay and was shortstacking 200nl 6max the other day

The coolest movedown I think I've ever seen was nanonoko. Guy was playing highest level HU matches and other guy had 40-50k stacks while nano had a buyin at 2 tables(i assumed he was being taken for a lot of money).

A couple days later I saw him playing 3/6. He lost I guess because I saw him short stacking 2/4 soon after.
