Look, I'm impressed...but I'd be more impressed if I could see this guy's:

1. Watch
2. 18 y.o. Girlfriend
3. Rims
4. PBJ cashout card

Instead, I just see charts. And graphs. Not that baller. Get going kid.

1) I don't own a watch

2) I like late 20's workout chicks

3) I drive a 1994 lexus which is missing a hubcap

4) I have never played blackjack online

I guess I am a failure at what really matters in life.

but writing this makes you sound too defensive...obv you are running well to have that sort of day and you had to run well to move up so fast. you must be a good player but you can't deny the facts.

Re: what aba20 can do in a day...
 

I dont know how many hands aba has played but I dont think its impossible at all to move up that fast and still run normal. 1 million hands should be enough if you are a great player.

Re: what aba20 can do in a day...
 

On a serious note, you seem incredibly groudned despite your immense respect. Props for that, i think it's awesome.

Re: what aba20 can do in a day...
 

1/10 on the balla scale.. You're going to need to fix that.

Cmon, this guy wasn't really playing $50 NL a year ago, was he?

Re: what aba20 can do in a day...
 

all (especially the few naysayers),

I've been playing the high stakes internet games for about 2+ years now, and I would say Brian is one of the top 5 players I've ever played against, period. Many have come and gone, with 1, 2, even 3 month sick runs. Aba will winning at the high stakes poker games as long as he wants to be. He doesn't seem to have any gambling leaks, and doesn't tilt too often either.

People should learn from him, rather than criticize. He is still a student of the game (flattering that he still watches CardRunners videos), even though he is better than practically everyone on the net (maybe everyone???). Those who have negative things to say should reconsider, especially if they hope to achieve some of the things he has.

Before this thread, I was content with winning a few grand. Now I am unsatisfied, and feel very poor.

You win.

i find it hard to be content with my monthly wins when someone is making so much more. i guess this means lambo for me, bugatti for you [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]


anyways man, i wish you the best. i know you think im a NL donk and that im not worth your time, but ive improved a bit and think im good enough to get away from shortstacking these high limits.

also id like to say that im impressed with both you and durr's abilities to get away when the game is getting bad/things arent going away. signs of true winners and world class players, and certainly a quality that I lack in LHE.

Re: what aba20 can do in a day...
 

I am very suprised by SBRugby's success. I always thought of him as a tight weak player at 10/20 NL that couldn't win unless he had a hand. I haven't played with him in a long time so he could have very well improved a lot by playing the great HS players but I wouldn't make any strong assertions either way until somebody is up 200 or more buy ins their given game.

If I wasn't a US citizen I might play those games. In those huges games I could imagine a scenario winning $ 5 million one year and paying over $2 million in taxes and then being down 4 million another year. And its tough when you have to keep over $500k online at all times.

When everyone is really good its seems like the good players are just flipping coins against eachother and its more gambling then investing.

Re: what aba20 can do in a day...
 

what does citizenship have to do with it?

Re: what aba20 can do in a day...
 

Taxes, apparently.

Re: what aba20 can do in a day...
 

i don't really get that though, wouldn't the expected winnings make up for the tax loss? well they'd have to.

Re: what aba20 can do in a day...
 

not year on year. although i dont see how he wouldnt be a big winner if he used good game selection. but possibly not a bigger winner than in his current games.

Re: what aba20 can do in a day...
 

Well I would say yeah, but in the scenario he presented, because taxes are paid yearly, he ended up down 1m over two years.

200 buyinns at 100/200 = 4 million dollarzzz! Anyways I am a low baller and obv can't comment on aba'a abilities/skills. Obv we will prob all know a year from now. I would say this that I think moving from 2/4 to 100/200 in 6 months is f*cking sick anyway you slice it and I hope aba keeps it up.

I think a lot of the hate and skepticism comes from the fact that nobody from 2p2 really knows him. If Schneids came in a posted about winning a lot of money in a short period of time everyone would be congratulating him on his success because he is active amongst 2p2ers outside of this forum and he has a lot of friends who are glad to see him succeed. But instead of that we have a bunch of mid limit NL players who don't know [censored] about anything oozing with jealously and hatred because they'll never ever be as good as him.

LOL no one is hating and literally I think noone is unhappy to see him succeed. Seriously read the posts. People have just said that in order to move from 2/4 to crushing 100/200 in 6 months you have to run good. Actually Schneids posted several times in these threads saying the same.

Wrong! You really don't have to "run good" if you're actually that good, you just have to play. You don't think that the best NL players online could take a 20 buy in bankroll at 2/4nl and move up to the highest games online within six months if they were completely deciated to this task?

Also, if you can't spot the hate in every thread that aba20 posts about his results it looks like you need to read the posts better than I do.

I think my main point would be that this isn't true.

Secondarily, PLZ do research b4 you post. I read all the threads today. 95%+ people patting aba on the back. Snagglupuss and others only semi-hate by suggesting that aba is running good. Certainly not ooziing with jealousy.

I quote Schneids from one of the threads(is he a hater too?)

I don't know you, I hear you're an awesome guy, but this statement is ludicrious.

Trust me when I say you're running above average the last six months.

edited to add FU sponger I just spent the last 20 minutes rereading the threads. No hate! Everyone saying aba plz let me suck your balls! Snaggle puss prob semi-jokingly saying wow you're running really good! Aba being a big bitch about it and getting attention for it. Other people kind of siding with snaggle puss but certainly not hating on aba. Again FU I wanted to go to sleep plz read threads b4 you respond! Seriously quote all the "hate" you seem to pick up on that I must miss by just skimming over the posts. FU! (just to clarify b/c I am not impressed with how "hard" you read. I did not skim the threads. I read them thoroughly. PLZ quote what I must have missed.)

Possible, yes. Likely, no. It all totally depends on how you run when you initially make each jump in stakes. You get creamed once or twice when you move up to a new game, and it'll side track you a LOT and slow you down from moving up soooo much.

I'm not knocking aba's game at all as he surely is a top NL player. It's just, he's been fortunate enough to run good at the right times and when he does run bad (as i'm sure he has at some points, hence, why he asserts he has not ran overly well) it is at points in his transitions where his roll can handle it. Also, what he has said is his largest downswings thus far, are small in comparison to other top NL player's worst swings. Again, more evidence he has ran HOT this year.

Saying someone runs hot shouldn't be taken as a diss on them.

[censored], I'm the PPM champ. I ran hot there. OK? It's not a diss if someone says I ran hot and that helped me win it. Sure, I also played well, but I ran hot. OK.

Re: what aba20 can do in a day...
 

Oh my [censored] god

Re: what aba20 can do in a day...
 

This thread turned into a heated argument. That sucks.

Man, I thought I put in marathon sessions but ABA is like a damn kenyan with these marathons.

He's still sitting at the 100/200 PLO table. He's been sitting on 3/4 buyin profit for awhile, but that's still 15k, not bad.

Anybody know who triplewitch is? He made some sick nasty bluff pickoffs in the few minutes I was watching; on the river, scary boards, with one pair pickoffs. He's sitting with 6 buyins. I'm impressed.

Saying somebody runs good isn't a dis, most players can't profit and capitalize on their good runs. They don't even notice them. You still have to be a very good player to take advantage of the good runs.
