Identifying other 2p2ers

[leo doc]

If I'm playing at any given casino for the first time, is there any "socially acceptable" manner (in 2p2 terms), to identify myself as one who frequents this forum and to meet other 2p2ers?

The reason I ask is that I don't get to play live often- maybe four or five times a year since the closest casino is about five hours drive- and I never know anyone when I get there. I'd like to meet other folks that love the game and have enough interest in it to post here.

Obviously, I don't want to sit down at a table and ask if there are any 2p2ers here. Is a casual "sup bro?" acceptable? Any other ideas?

Anyone going to be playing in Tunica next week?

Just look for the donkeys who think they play good.

what limits do you play?
AFAIK, very few players at 20/40 and below post on 2p2. You might average one for every 3 tables you sit at.
I guess it depends on your area though.

I generally expect that I'm seeing a few 2+2ers in my games - they tend to play a rather distinctive style that does stand out.

actually 70% or more of most mid-limit tables probably reads 2+2. We had over 2 million unique visitors in the past 6 months, as a group we have got to come to terms with the fact that 2+2 is commonly read. "2+2'ers" are not special anymore, we are only special because we contribute to the forum often because in reality the majority of readers are not members.

I use the NY Times analogy. Everyone reads it, but not everyone subscribes.

Wow. 2M unique visitors in six months. I had no idea, but am genuinely impressed. I suppose this speaks well for the overall popularity of the game, and, more specifically, for the robust offerings of 2+2.

I am curious, however, how you derived the 70% of mid-stakes players visit the site. Does that include both B&M and internet. How do you measure/conclude this? (Not asking for trade secrets, btw.)

Finally, IMHO, the 2+2 community will always be "special", NYT analogy notwithstanding.

Its an estimate based on non-scientific measurements. Last year I went to play at the commerce, put my name (TT) on the 20 and 40 lists. I sat in the 20 game, floor came up and said TT (he reads 2+2 and knew who I was) your 40 game is ready. Guy to my right says "TT? From 2+2? Is that you?" Guy to my left says "TT? Your famous!". I racked up and stopped using my nickname on the board due to total humiliation [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

i guess I might be one of the better people to judge this just because my nickname is so easy to remember, but honestly if I sit down at a game and say "high I am TT from 2+2" 2/3 or greater of the table would know what 2+2 is guarenteed.

So its useless?

Not to mention that 73.4385% of statistics are made up on the spot.

lol at the Rickroll shirt. Gold.

I usually just ask people if they're 2p2ers, but it does get a little awkward when they're like "2 What? What's that?" and I just have to be like "It's an internet thing -- nevermind"
