Just curious as to what the feelings about this are on this site. What I've read on other sites is pretty much against it. I personally don't see how it can be a good thing.
The high stakes level is going to now be saturated with regs and good players 4x and then some fish 1x'ing. It also hurts the lower level in two ways imo
1) It will push more good players down to that level. People playing 26's are now going to be playing 5's 4x and so on.
2) It makes its MUCH more difficult to get started and BR properly
If you are a micro guy, and they make too many of these tourneys multi-entry then you are screwed into playing out of your BR, or doing the -EV thing and single reging. I'm fine with having this as an option, but they need to make new tourneys so rather than change current ones.
Apparently the entire double guarantee week is going to be multi-entry, every tournament.
Seems like its going to be bad.
Also the way merging works seems to be terrible. If there are 2 tables and you have the top 2 stacks, and it breaks to FT you get hosed. And I don't even want to think about the ICM calculations that people could come up with...eww...
All in all, I kinda like that FTP is trying stuff, trying to revolutionize the game, but this isn't it, and I hope they don't get out of control with this idea.

Hi all,
I've decided to try to get better at MTT/multi player sit n goes. Since there are quite a few good tourney players on this site, I thought I'd ask a simple question. What stats do you put on your HUD (if you use one)?
Went to a casino for the first time ever, Hard Rock Casino on Hollywood, FL. It's awesome, so many degens in one place, sick! Ppl just throwing money away everywhere!
Only had 200 bucks with me so I wanted to put it on black obviously, but my nit friend made me go play poker, 1-2, he thought it was smarter. Steamrolled the table full of 20bb nits to win a whooping $200 (which is what I would've won on roulette anyway ).
Still not on "SNE mode" so only playing a few games here and there, things back to normal rungood-wise since my last post:
PC must be powered on and running for 1 hour before any poker sessions begin. My sweet gaming rig has had a defective video card for the last year now, that seems to crash as the system warms up for the first 30 minutes or so. Entire system freezes and I have to reboot to clear it up. If it has sat for a good hour then it runs stably for the rest of the night. Nothing like getting home, opening a table, flopping the nut straight on a 234 board in a 4way raised pot OTB, just to have my pc lock up as I'm typing in my raise amount.
In fact, I've heard of people keeping a laptop on standby as a backup in such crisis as down internet or something. I'll keep my cellphone tethered to that too just in case.
I was about to sleep at around 3am when i see this filipino act's music video and just wanted to share it coz its about bret's favorite topic lol
pretty cool tune
Last 50 hands were single tabling against sick maniac after I lost 90bb (250bb deep) folding 66 on 557K to a 3bet, flop b/3b, and a turn overbet. Turns out this was a terrible fold, as he proceeded to play 70/40/20 and overbet both flop and turn with any two. Finally got my money back after playing 100% VPIP for a couple orbits and waiting to flop a pair.
I think this is the most volume I've ever put in an entire month, let alone half a month. I'm really inspired to play right now, I think watching some coaching videos is a part of that, and I just don't wanna be a busto anymore. I'm adding a couple of NL200 tables to my sessions now, I'm gonna see how that goes. I also regained my Black Card Status, so I'm looking to chase after the next two tiers. If I earn about 3k points a day for a month, I can get the highest tier easily. Good luck at the tables everyone.
On the cancer thread which is getting out of control...should I even bother continuing to argue in that thread?
http://www.liquidpoker.net/userpoll/draw.php?poll_id=1147
Poll: Should I continue posting in the cancer thread?
(Vote): Yes, d_smart and group have good points about medicine.
(Vote): Yes, the posts make good reading material if i need to bore myself half to death & r educational.
(Vote): No, even if you have NOTHING else to do but watch paint dry that is better then continuing arguing.
Also this has been bothering me but I don't want to bump the ron paul money bomb thread b/c I currently don't feel like arguing economics. Dustyswededude said to correct him if someone found something wrong w/ what he said.

Also, and please keep in mind that in no way try to accuse anyone of being a Nazi or anything like that, I feel that the an example of keynesianism that actually worked fairly good was the third Reich. I'm fairly certain that that economy would've crashed in a couple of years anyway since it's a classic example of increased Governmental spending to get the economy going by increasing the aggregated demand. And don't worry, I do have a point with this that I feel this is a good example of. Keynes himself was asked by some student (I think? at least someone) something like; "But what of the long run?" and apparently answered; "In the long run we're all dead". The way to make keynesaism make you look good is to die before the bust. Of course, Hitler fucked that up by being a complete psycho killer responsible for millions of deaths, but that's besides the point.
This is not the context at all for the long run quote.
here is the context and what he meant by it.
In the first place, Keynes was complaining about the “classical” economics, that is, the ideas of the economists before him who believed that the market, if unhampered after a recession, could reduce or eliminate the unemployment associated with the business cycle. ...Some basic methodology is in order. When economists talk about “the long run” they do not mean calendar time. Yes, that’s right. They do not mean long in the sense of many years or perhaps even many decades....The long run happens when all of the variable elements in a model are fully adjusted.
The long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead. Economists set themselves too easy, too useless a task if in tempestuous seasons they can only tell us that when the storm is past the ocean is flat again.
A Tract on Monetary Reform (1923) Ch. 3; many have thought this meant Keynes supported short terms gains against long term economic performance, but he was actually criticizing the belief that inflation would acceptably control itself without government intervention.
‘The long run is a misleading guide to current affairs - in the long run we are all dead ‘ JM Keynes
I thought this was very interesting as it puts forward the idea that we shouldn’t bother to think beyond our own lifetime, our own generation. Which I think is a terrible mistake.
This quote came from Keynes' General Theory of Money. During the Great Depression, the prevailing economic orthodoxy was the Classical view. This stated that markets would adjust to disequilibrium without government intervention. Therefore, when the Great Depression occurred in 1930, the classical response was to do nothing - because in the long run the markets would solve the problem (real wages would fall, people would return to work and the economy would return to full employment)
However, Keynes said this was madness - In the depth of a recession, why not try to do something about it, rather than leave to 'market forces'. Yes in the long run, the recession may end, but, here the long run could be 10 years. Keynes wanted to try and solve the depression now rather than wait for 10 15 years or however, long the 'longrun' was.
In particular Keynes criticised the idea that falling real wages would solve unemployment. He argued falling real wages would just leave people with less money and therefore aggregate demand would fall more. Keynes argued for public works schemes, financed by government borrowing to inject money into the economy and get people back to work and spending. This was too radical for the UK Treasury, and generally the UK didn't follow Keynesian policies in the Great Depression. If we had injected government spending, the recession may have been less serious and ended sooner.
