Re: go_seminoles the big 1k/2k winner ?
I played with goseminoles around 5 months ago at 10-20 on pokerstars. I had a long chat with him and he said that he was not broke but he was having trouble getting money online. He also said that he is fine with that, as he enjoys the challenge of building his bankroll back up from scratch.
I tried to tell him that I don't think it will be that easy to get back up to the levels that he was playing at and he told me he would be there in a few weeks. I still have not seen him five months later. While he sucked out on me with a two outer I told him that I would be there before him and I am. He then told me why he played the two outer like that and explained that that is why he will be back up there in no time. LOL.

I put $2500 on and was playing 10/20. Obviously I was playing out of my "bankroll" and the shot didn't work out. Congratulations on making it up levels quicker than I did. What are you up to now? Five months ago it was hard to get money online. That was only a month or so after neteller went donktown. A lot of the sites stopped excepting traditional methods of depositing and I had never made deposits before (nothing more than $500). All the transfers I had done up to that point came from neteller, which was now no longer able to be used. fearme - I don't think you are a fish. Although I haven't played with you a ton, I have played with you a real long time. I was UCNoles back on AP, so I played with you a ton back then. I obviously also played with you on stars, although not as much. I don't care what all the haters say, if you are able to make it up to 1k/2k, you aren't a fish.

Re: go_seminoles the big 1k/2k winner ?
Ive played w the guy and to describe him as a huge fish is way way out, I don't think he'd do too well if he sat around playing every 1k/2k game that went, but who would......strange to hear he's apparently a super nice guy, as he was always incredibly unlikeable at the (online) tables.

[/ QUOTE ] Seriously I would take 9 of them on each of my tables every day... He might be decent enough to beat the old lhe line up, aka the not so though game, but I saw him doing some bold plays that only a not so good player would do. I don't doubt he is a super nice guy but I def woudln't pay for his coaching [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

Re: go_seminoles the big 1k/2k winner ?
I can confirm that Noles was a nice guy in person. He recognized me in the hallway at the WSOP and said hello. While we didn't talk for all that long, he seemed pleasant enough, and not the type who would be an a-hole at the tables.
Regarding whether he's "good" or "a fish", such a judgment is highly subjective, and I think such discussions are generally stupid, unless you're having a serious talk on how to best play the guy. Ask most pro players how good other pros are, and you'll get a lot more "sucks" than "good" responses -- even if you only solicited the opinions about people who you knew were winning players. From what I have seen, many players -- even some of the best ones -- are poor judges as to the skill of their opponents. Pick just about any player you can think of, and I can tell you about someone who has told me that they suck. The bottom line is that you are not a fish if you can make a living playing poker. Obviously certain people are underdogs in certain games. Take the 9th best player in the world and put him at the table with the 8 best players in the world, and he's an expected loser. However, put him against nearly any other lineup, and he's a strong favorite. Obviously I'm oversimplifying things a bit, but you get my point. Perhaps Noles made some dumb moves at the table before. So what? So have I. So have you. So has everyone. If you don't think you have, you're kidding yourself. If the guy has been playing poker for a considerable amount of time and has turned a nice profit, that means he's a lot better than most are giving him credit for.
