Gildwulf's Play-Every-Hand 100 Hand LIMIT Challenge - Page 23

I had a major surge in the middle and actually thought I was going to get even. It was interesting that when I started playing, about 6-7 people were seeing the flop, by the time it was over, I was playing with the same two guys and just couldn't catch cards or hold a lead as they pretty much went to every showdown with me.

I could have minimized my losses with less pre-flop raising and probably a little less aggro during the hand, but, oddly enough, the few times I slowed down and tried to trap, I missed a bet or two. Bluffs were flat out not working for obvious reasons.

Interesting idea, it was fun, if nothing else, to watch the table try to adapt once they knew I was seeing every showdown.

If I ever did this again, I'd tell the whole table up front what I was doing and see if that changed anything.

I am some nit, some of this stuff is just mind-blowing to me. I am a 20 year old sophmore in college. I have an earning potential that is around 200/hr so I am not so far removed from the concept of dealing with much more money than ever previously accustomed to. The idea of dropping out/taking some time off has crossed my mind as I sometimes fall asleep in econ or do whatever I may be doing at 12 on a Wednesday rather then be in class. The more I read about the kids who have chosen to drop out , the more comfortable I am with the decisions I am making in my own life. These tools can be learned without college, but the academic and social interaction seems to be more valuable then $x dollars. I just think it is easy to get caught up and short-sighted as a young kid, making a lot of money. Newhizzle displays some characteristics that make me think college might be worth more then he can fully understand at this point.

Yeah, smooth calling on the flop to wait til the bets are doubled is fine, but you have to raise that turn for value.

Im pretty new to the BBV. This is the funniest poker story/contest I've ever read.

If that guy (newhizzle) can afford 3 grand then more power to him. The fact that its 5-10 makes it way better then some .25 .50 game.

I laughed my as off. Poor college kids made money. Whizzle had a blast.

Whats the whining for again?
