Re: I Need to Move Up To Where My Raises Get Respect...
 

all,

my instructor "candidate" called me back just now, some 23 hours after his first time returning my call. luckily i was prepared for him to be a retard so the first question i asked him was, "do you live in Las Vegas?"

"uh, no. i live in vancouver, b.c."

"so why are you applying for a job that's in las vegas?"

"i didn't realize it was in las vegas."

"hmmm. so what did you think it meant when it said 'Las Vegas/Reno' next to the phone number you called?"

"i didn't realize that. i'm interested in starting a program in vancouver."

"ok, welll, here is my boss's phone number. good luck with that. click."

so how does everyone feel about hiring this guy now? how do you feel about setting him up to start a program in a brand new city in a different country?

Pitch in some NL for sanity's sake when I ran bad. Which I rarely do [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] (note that because you have a vpip of ~75-85, this is comparable to a 25-30k sample at 6max. Note also the 5bb/100 [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] )

http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/6...benanntrg4.jpg

At some point I got sick of low-stakes 6max and switched to NL. Beat 25NL for 20bi within a week, moved up, beat 50NL for 6bi over 50k hands - moved up obv. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] Beat 100NL for 10bi over 6k hands and finally decided that I'm too much of a showdown monkey for NL. A game where I have to fold my QQ vs. a bet on a AT2r flop is simply not my style. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] So that's when I decided to return to LHE and become good at it. And since I'm an action junkie, I chose the quickest game available. Which also means that I'm blatantly incompetent for anything micro-stakes and full-ring. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

So how's everyone else been doing?

And when's the next HULA? HARHARHAR!!! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

ZOMFG you actually assumed I even contemplated playing FR NL?!? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

But seriously. If I can keep my winrate at where it currently is, I'm making the same as in 100NL and it's lots more fun. Fun/action isn't a function of # of tables. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Also, it's a lot easier to beat the tar outta some clueless dude at 5/10 rather than trying to get some loose-passive station to fold his bottom pair in a $10 (lol?) pot at NL.

So everyone can find out what you get when you combine Jack Boyer (or whatever, the guy from 24) and lolwalrus. Kthxbai.
