I'll think about it. I might be moving to 2/4 though since I'm kind of close to rolled for it now so I shouldn't bother you anymore...oh wait.

where do you bet sports? Is it easy enough to move money to whatever site from Stars. I think I want to start small and move like $200 or something.

a lot of my hatred of shortstackers really is just selfish, I want to make more an hour and deeper stacks gets me more money

but a big chunk of it is shortstackers really weaken game dynamics and make the game a lot less fun to play, I got into poker because it was fun to play, I likely wouldn't still be playing if it wasn't fun(at least some of the time, it can be really frustrating)

that and ratholing goes against everything that poker as a game stands for, money won stays on the table if you want to continue playing

Re: *** Official October Chat Thread: The Purple Goose ***
 

i can understand that and actaully agree for the most part, but a lot of the times people with short stacks have a horrible game and give up their money fairly easily, its just you never take it in the way a set over set does.

Re: *** Official October Chat Thread: The Purple Goose ***
 

And btw i actually have never shortstacked before, and god willing never will again ; p.

Re: *** Official October Chat Thread: The Purple Goose ***
 

From the last thread:

Phresh: Iunno what set him off, but the next day he tried to talk [censored] again and I did for a bit but it got old so I just told him I didn't feel like messing with it anymore, but whenever I tried to have any conversation with any other player he would throw insults in and try to constantly make really idiotic comments. It was actually quite immature and I was kinda disappointed that a stupid "bigger epeen" match turned into him just constantly being a dbag and not giving up. I ended up not responding to anything he said by the end of it although he was very persistent to get into any other conversation I had, but hopefully he gets over it soon lol. I don't think highly of his game already(15/7 ftw), so hopefully he will get mad and spew off some chips to me.

Renton: I personally haven't received any payment. I need this to feed my kids mang [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Fwiw, i dont agree.

This is an old concept carried over from the days of live poker - if you want lets take it to the extreme; if you are ever up on a table you can never leave because winners dont quit the losers. In one swoop game selection is out the window.

Re: *** Official October Chat Thread: The Purple Goose ***
 

So far so good, won a set over set and hit nfd for anotehr stack, woot!

I prefer less variance in fantasy sports and more in poker.

I've also watched football and railed the wcoop all day instead of studying for a midterm I have tomorrow.

Roto is so boring though [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img], in H2H it's fun to watch games knowing, for example, that you need x player to drain y threes to edge out your opponent for a 5-4 victory.
