what??
ban please

?

it wasn't a sarcastic comment at all. when reading the blog i thought he seemed like a really smart fellow that's all???


maybe my wording was pretty terrible. i meant doing well in life in the traditional sense. i mean after reading loco's posts; it's pretty obvious he has a much different definition of "doing well"

yeah but you are also saying that poker players are idiot and incapable of doing well in life

how bad was that one? don't know if i've seen a legit (not boss media i guess?) graph of triple digit buyins under EV

i apologize; it was not my intent.

nice post Loco, agree with u

Loco I think it's quite clear this blog is personal. If you just wanted to make a post about bad luck it would have been much more general. You clearly find it revolting that a winning player could ever have so much to complain about. That's why you draw the comparison to the holocaust. It clearly offends you that a winning player would complain in the fashion he does.

So Loco after reading what you've written I'll post some counter-points:

1. Some people post angry comments on bad beat hand histories or blogs as a form of cathartic release. Words said an anger aren't comparable to a persons mindset when they are calm and rational.

2. You apparently believe a winning player cannot run bad. Running bad means you're winning less than you should based on luck. If a player who has won 50k should have won 110k based on their all-in EV that player is running horrifically bad. Your posts of Newblish's winning PTR's are not evidence of anything except that you apparently don't understand the concept of running bad.

3. The options in your poll clearly reflect a personal bias. The presentation of your blog clearly reflects that same bias.

So basically Loco you've massively failed to prove anything except maybe that you're an asshole. Unless you have access to Newblish's entire database for every site he plays on and have done a statistical analysis of his all-in hands how can you claim to know anything about whether he runs good or bad? I've watched him play many many sessions and he's run pretty horrifically bad over a very long period of time. He's won far less overall than what he should have to this point. You should probably reserve judgment the next time you don't have any real information other than your personal bias on a subject.

Good read, I just saw forrest gump and for some reason I read everything with a forrest gump texas voice in my head. Someone try it and tell me if its actually funny or perhaps it's just me since I just saw the movie.

that's friggin hilarious.

benjamin i'll respond to you soon, perhaps just in your new blog entry, i still have to go read it!

Yeah that's fine with me. I made the blog simply because I think it's unlikely my comments in his defense will be seen if they're just buried somewhere under 3 pages of comments.

glad i could help

i assume ur reffering to me =)

First, I'm not going to deny what this blog post implies and what you're trying to state. Because I'll admit that a lot of the time i am like this and see things for what they are directly when they happen(without looking at long term success, which i certainly can claim i have). I am currently in the midst of a 16 BI downswing and that's why i made some of those comments yesterday(to engage, not you - which means you should mind your own business). There's no doubt that I have some issues to deal with in terms of how i look at poker and how what i "believe" should happen in poker should really be.

That being said, i cant believe you take something like this so seriously. While i wont deny that i have some issues to deal with(almost exclusively with regard to poker, and not my life in general), this blog made it pretty clear that you do too. Seriously loco, every time i see a post of you on this site you're always trying to prove some point to someone or post your opinion about X topic(s) that most people on here seriously don't give a shit about. You practically always need to have your say and refuse to be wrong. I really don't understand that to be honest because you not long ago told the LP community that you couldn't stand a lot of the people here(including some mods) and that you were leaving. Yet here you are, back practically instantly after you wrote that and writing up useless blogs like this one about your opinion about one member of this site(me).

I mean this is incredible, you actually wasted a good 1-2+ hours writing this thing up(probably longer), looking through all my hand histories, taking screen shots of PTR graphs(and also wasting time finding out what my nicknames for those accounts were), making stupid pictures with stupid remarks and having the nerve to bring cancer/poverty/starvation into the matter. Why don't you just try ignoring some of this shit and not spend countless hours of your time arguing/rebutting/making posts when almost NOBODY cares? It's like in this thread where you argue with essays upon essays against Tien in an effort to prove your point to an online poker community that seriously for the most part probably doesn't give two shits about what you're saying. Seriously, just try to ignore these things, chill out. You have fucking 16,000++ posts on this site, almost all of which are forum posts and stupid pointless shit like this blog. I realized very soon after i came to this site that posting in forums/trying to prove/make a point is a complete waste of time and that it changes nothing except for the fact that you ultimately waste your own time and effort. Seriously, congratulations for making this ridiculous blog post loco.. hats off my friend. I mean why did you come back here? Are these the kind of things that make you happy or something?

What's worse is that while you decided to write up this nonsense about me you did so basically knowing absolutely nothing about me and how i perceive poker/what happens in poker. For one, all of these blog posts you're referring to are well at least over a year old by now. A lot of the complaining that I once did all that time ago was when i practically first discovered poker. I've only played this game for about 2 years and almost all of that complaining or whatever you want to call it was so old that it basically means absolutely nothing anymore. I mean, you actually brought up my blog post/hands against bailman1 which was may20th 2009. We're already half way to fucking 2011 and somehow this is supposed to represent what kind of player i am in what is almost August of 2010? I already decided awhile ago that I'm not going to write any more blog posts(the last one i wrote was in February and was basically a funny one where i made a clown picture about a donk i played). I for a while haven't made a blog post about my progress(or about complaining) and i decided months ago that i wasn't going to make another one. So apparently despite that and despite all of my blog posts/complaining being awhile ago, I am still somehow implying that "life is tough"? Fuck you. What an arrogant and stupid thing to write, especially to the entire LP community. If you have a problem with me, then say it to me. Pm me or something, dont write some bullshit nonsense like this that implies that you know who I am, what you think you know about my life/how i think about poker.

I even remember telling you on msn months back(probably exactly after my last "complain" blog) that I took alot of steps towards telling myself that i cant get angry at 16 BI downswings or the odd bad variance spikes. I know I cant change what happens and its part of the game, i remember saying those exact words. Recently now having my worst month ever(16-18 BI downswing since the start of july) ive for a few instances flared back up again(last night to engage) and in a few hands. So the fuck what? you found like 1-2 hands of me getting pissed off for running bad, it happens to all of us. I am perfectly content with my game and how ive progressed at it so if you want to show everyone a one sided story knowing basically nothing about me, then be my guest. I dont give two shits what you or anyone else thinks about me on this site. I seriously have changed alot and i dont bitch anywhere near as much as i did 1 year ago or during my 4 month breakeven stretch in September. It's part of growing as a poker player.

So fuck all of you idiots for judging me for this(the ones that do judge me). Especially you Loco. Mind your own fucking business and find better things to do with your time other than write up stupid inaccurate pointless shit like this. Posting shit of me when im on tilt and then claiming im actually serious about it is pretty narrow minded on your part loco. You should really be ashamed of yourself, what i say/do should not concern you, but it seems like everything concerns you on this site enough that you came back just to let us know.

Actually, would also like to just mention that if you actaully want to "conclude" anything based on PTR graphs then boy are you ever fucking retarded. You see that "best day" on my FTP graph? That session a donk bought in for $320 at 2/4 and built it up by stacking me 5times to $2600 or so. I was down $2200 in the blink of an eye, yet managed to get it all back. That day was recorded as +$2200 yet it was only ~250 after rake. PTR has some extreme flaws and are extremely inaccurate.

What an idiot you are to actually think that when im on tilt for brief instances like some of these 1+ year old examples that it actually reflects exactly how i look at poker and how i play this game. You are nothing more than a judgemental asshole who needs to find better things to do with his time than state his worthless opinion about what he thinks about people and the world and just shut the fuck up and mind his own business. If any mods read this i seriously think this deserves some sort of penalty/temporary ban. I'm not perfect and everyone makes mistakes, but it doesn't warrant this self-centered judgemental prick posting his inaccurate/biased opinion about another LP member and trying to make him look like a fool in front of everyone else.

Loco, seriously, i mean at one point i was friends with you back in our brood war days and i had a lot of respect for your knowledge and your professionalism towards poker. I know you don't care, but you have lost all of this respect and you don't deserve anyone else's. Get yourself a life and mind your own business, for everyone's sake including your own.

Thanks to all who have looked at this in a non-biased fashion and don't judge anyone before they know who that person is.

A person is how he behaves, nothing more. I judged you on your behavior, so I was fair. Everyone on this site should know by now that I'm not the type of person who holds back. Deal with it. Don't behave like an idiot and I won't have to expose you as being exactly what you are.

Wrong estimate, by the way. It took me less than an hour to write all of this up because I already had those hands, pictures, and PTRs in my history from my conversation with Fayth yesterday. I would've never started this from scratch.

I have to agree with Newblish, this blog was completely unnecessary and childish. Loco, may I suggest chilling a bit? Admitting you're wrong or choosing not to answer sometimes isn't a sign of weakness. At some point when you're writing essays in every topic you're active in, people are gonna see the big picture with you and one thing I'm certain of is that no one likes a know-it-all who refuses to be wrong and tries to get his message across point by point ALL THE TIME. That's basically what you do, and is what I'm sure you will do this time too. But it's my opinion this sort of blog is low class, especially from someone like you who really, really should know better.

I think you owe Newblish an apology, I obviously don't know the dynamics between you two but I doubt it warrants this blog. I say this as someone who appreciates the intelligence of your posts very often; be a man, use this opportunity to grow a little and admit it was completely unnecessary. Don't start personal vendettas like this, you have enough on your plate as it is.

hehe loco

"A person is how he behaves, nothing more."

Again with the very biased and narrow worldview Loco. I would say circumstances & reasons for why people behave the way they do is just as important to understanding them.

Is the man who steals bread because his family is starving the same as the man who steals bread just because he can despite being well off? There is more going on than just a persons actions.
