Nah

Was thinking of Sokrates1973 who also $100s at 13/9. There is also Shpric I think, altho he appears to be 8/6. Lesley F is 11/8 for me. Not in any way suggesting they are doing anything wrong, but when 3 players from the same place start buying in for a half stack which is not at all standard it got my curiousity going. Maybe a Russian strategy site [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]?

Speaking of Russian strategy sites, they lurk 2+2:

obviously the only option is give yourself a 2k present at 10/20 but don't lose

HB the main

If it's any consolation, you're the only 2+2er I really don't like at my tables.

[Das Budrick]

really??? this is where you put your 20,000th post? I was expecting something more...

[the_main]

Thanks guys, and yeah DB, that makes me feel a bit better. Glad to see you with full stacks lately. You're smart enough to beat 1/2.

My graph for the month...oops:

[Das Budrick]

It looks like you have a very swingy, variance-laden style. My graphs do not look like that.

[the_main]

30k is a drop in the bucket.
