any recent sc turned poker players here?

Im quite new to the poker scene, i started around a year ago playing meaningless tournies and low stakes for fun. Recently ive taken it more seriously though and began really grinding the low stakes(am currently at nl20).

what im wondering is if there is anyone here in a similar situation who would like to get together and add each other on msn and play together/discuss together.
Perhaps with team view or something, i guess it doesnt matter how so long as youre really into mass grinding and learning the game like i am.

For anyone who may remember me from SC : I am HeRoS)Senator aka Senator[LighT] and Newblish. I was on team canada A for awhile and got A on pgt as my highest rank.

pm me back, or write me up here if youre interested.

cheers

welcome. most of us here are ex-sc players, although i dont know about 'recent'

welcome

enjoy your stay. D:

im played 99-02 and have been active in the community since I quit.

I was pgt-A since like season 2 then quit BW like around season 4. Been a +ev player since last year but cashed out all my winnings cuz i had no job back then. Started over and now im playing 50NL and well rolled for it.

theres so many ex bw addicts that they should add "your best pgt rank" next to your avatar

PGT D+ high, ICC B+ high. New school ftw.

Heey there, welcome, I'll probably send you a PM later with email and shit,

I was always a chobo

I think I remember newblish from battlereports.com or from some weird games like winning with only arbiters, scvs etc?

I remember u, I think you played Terran. glglgl

he was P user.. i remember him.. he made a rep pack with crazy strats and his id on that reppack was idogaystarts was really good one xD.. gl in poker

haha i remeber playing you at pgt when I was still quite new player (but ofc thought that I knew something about sc) and then bming you after getting raped :>

welcome anyways, you could add risto98@hotmail.com for msn, ive played mostly sngs and just cashed out most of what I won. Now iam starting to get serious with cash game, Iam currently playing nl50

I was iG.Reaver / MgZ)Li / V_DrOp)Reaver quit bw in January you're welcome to add me to msn pm me

i was LG)Darki , LRM)Darki etc i started poker last november i dont post pgt stats cuz pgt stats are a joke 8 ) . i was almost all seasons A A+ as far as i remember of course smurfing sometimes hehe

pgt later seasons are a joke everyone was A+

darki who was A A+? you said you dont post your stats cause they are joke? ooa

Wow what a convenient post! I just got into poker like a week ago (how awesome is it that there is like an inter-connected poker AND starcraft website?) after being a pretty avid starcraft player for quite some time. Of course i'm about a D- poker player right now, losing a 10 dollar buy-in on pokerstars, but I don't even mind paying because poker is such a fun game! You can add me at Elite00fm@yahoo.com for MSN, would be great to get better at poker along with another SC player.

i mean that when pgt just started being A or A+ was quite something but later almost every "decent" player was A+

Im sort of recent sc to poker player. Except i still play the meaningless tournies -_-

Not recent but I played bw. Won WCG netherlands in 2004 and got to top 16 in the world finals. That's about it. ToT)Twisted( was my bw alias. I only watch replays now. Played some because of WCG but then the national finals was when I was on vacation in Spain so then I quit again

I'm Rush)_CosMo- bitch

:-P

You'll never guess my Starcraft nickname.

oh twisted ur the guy my friend mora is in love with or well used to be

thats what everyone says lol i think i should have made the switch one year before

I'm in a similiar position to you although I'm still taking poker very casually and I still spend more time on sc than poker. I'm sMi.Arcology on USA B sc team although with school I'll have less time for both poker and sc. Playing NL25 on a $100 BR.

I made the switch , but not fully. I still play Sc and poker occasionaly , but not as much as i want to since im always out. My aka is not0rious. Mainly 2v2 on iccup right now.

ure doing it wrong

--- Nuked ---

CruiseR here , ex. pol-b national, A- high

I was ig.naranjito , made the switch about 1.5 years ago, strongly suggest you try hard at poker as it's EZ

old school [cf] , [x] , oMg. player , cant wait till sc2 comes out

yo senator, bout time you made the switch. i was trey[light] and atreyu[light].

Starcraft players make bad poker players. If you have played starcraft before plz quit poker now

My name is SpoR and I still play.

Poker is such a lousy game compared to SC. I'm quite happy that I started playing SC again.

Heh I always thought loco was rS.Loco , and yes SC > Poker anyday

Ah, yes. I have stumbled over here from tl.net as well.

I need to learn2play. I've been playing fairly seriously for the past few months. I don't have the monies to get started with a serious bankroll, or the patience/discipline to play .1/.2 tables. As such I mostly play NL25 or $2-$10 Heads Up.

+ Show Spoiler +

My progress, or lack of so far this month.

First post as well, though I've been lurking for quite some time. If anyone wants to play, or teach me, or whatever hit me up. lol.

I was Nal_PsycO and i suck at both LOL

Loco is rS.Loco

locoo is naranjito who couldnt find an original name on LP -.-

Came over to poker from SC about 2 months ago. Started gringing nl2, and am still grinding nl2. eek.
