The Homer Appreciation Thread
 

Post in this thread if your online poker successes can be directly or indirectly related to Homer, imo the most valuable poster in the history of this forum short of Sklansky/Malmuth/Miller.

Thanks to "Homer's Bankroll Building Guide" lots of online donks were able to turn $100 or less into a bankroll worthy of making thousands and then some. Myself personally, I used the Crypto bonuses from $100 on up, then the GRANNYMAE bonus through 'Dise, etc.

Nowadays there are lots of people who don't even know this guy existed. Which is kinda a shame.

So anyways, props Homer. You done good, sir. Thanks for being awesome.

Thanks much and please continue posting in the Sports Betting forum! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

In fall of 2003, I ran the casino bonus trail as directed by Homer. This was before 'whoring' was widely known so there was no information available. He took the time to answer my 'noob' questions via PM. I made thousands of dollars under his guidance during this time.

Thanks HOMER.....

Wow is Homer gone.... so hard to keep track of everyone. I never read his bankroll building post, but it must have helped many stay afloat for a while.

I remember Bernie helping me when I first got here...a long long time ago [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: The Homer Appreciation Thread
 

The guide made me as well. Def owe a thx to Homer. But I'll bet a ton of newbs went busto trying to learn how to play 1/2 LHE with 50BB.

Re: The Homer Appreciation Thread
 

The very sad thing is that now you can not do this, at least not if you are a US based player, thanks to the Republicans and Bill Frist.

Homer shared his knowledge and wasnt a dick- a lost breed.

Re: The Homer Appreciation Thread
 

I did a lot of work based on Homer's posts on variance in building a variance calculator so I could actually see the signal to noise ratio based on SD/100, win rates, and total hands played. He has always been an asset to 2+2.

Thanks Homer.

He is alive and well in the Sports Betting forum and has a new web site up that deals with arbing sports.

Re: The Homer Appreciation Thread
 

Started with $50 in November of '04 and some basic weak-tight skills learned from prior limited B&M play and Free IRC poker. With help from that guide, I was up to $2500 by March '05, took a shot on the UB 10/20, and ran uberhot.
Now I'm just another TAP (wanna-be TAG) 4 tabling any good games I can find between 10/20 and 30/60 LHE.
If I could just find Homer's Guide for Weak Tight Limit Players trying to transition to NL... I'd be all set.
Thanks Homer

Re: The Homer Appreciation Thread
 

Gotta say my thanks. Used his guide to start my roll. Ahhh those were good days.

I'll second Spartacus on this one. I also ran this trail during the Fall of 2003 and Winter of 2004, back before any of the casino bonus whoring went big time. Both Homer and Spartacus helped me out big time, and I made 5 figures pretty quickly thanks to them.

2003 was before it was widely known?! I found out about casino whoring (back then it was called bonus hunting by us, bonus abusing by them) through the book "Beatwebcasinos.com" in 2nd half of 2000. Back then, it was amazingly good. . .WR's usually 6x-12x d+b (15x actually seemed high!), sometimes even less, all games were allowed at most places, and the few that didn't allow BJ generally allowed Bacarrat. And some had monthly bonuses with nearly as good of terms that you could do for almost a year without being banned! At one RTG group (this was before they had the shady licensee problems), I got almost WEEKLY bonus offers for up to 4-figure bonuses, and didn't get banned for over a year, with only small amounts of cover play. I actually had to quit and transition to poker in early 2003 because A) I had already hit almost every casino that existed, and been banned from most of the reload bonus providers, and B) the wagering requirements and games allowed were getting stricter (although still profitable, just not as sweet as I was used to).

Sorry if this post should have gone in BBV. . . [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: The Homer Appreciation Thread
 

Homer got me started with arbing sports, although not as profitable as casino whoring it still adds a nice little chunk of change every month. Thanks Homer.

Re: The Homer Appreciation Thread
 

Thx Homer...your time spent posting advice to us newbs years ago has made this moran thousands.

Re: The Homer Appreciation Thread
 

I agree. Homer is an under apreciated hero.

He was very helpful to me in a time of need.

Same goes for Granny Mae.

Re: The Homer Appreciation Thread
 

Ya, I followed it pretty closesly and got my BR up during the most crucial time when it was low and every $100 counted.

Re: The Homer Appreciation Thread
 

Homer got me started on casino whoring and I am forever grateful. He personally helped me out with questions and I have many many $$$ to thank him for

Re: The Homer Appreciation Thread
 

Thanks to Homer my bankroll became bigger than I imagined...and faster than I expected.

I know you're smart enough to find the SB forum, so I assume you want this:

If that link is a problem (I'm not an affiliate, I get nothing from it, but you can sign up for stuff through affiliate links on that site. I'm not shilling for Homer in any way), delete this post.
