sick. there's not many 100/200 tables i'd consider sitting at, but one with him is one of them.

I goto school in California in Pasadena. I will be 21 when I return. Where should I play live if I want to play 5/10 and 10/20? I guess this is simply, "The Bike or Commerce."

havent really played any poker in a while, but put in a lot of hands today.

i act think i ran pretty bad today and i there were a couple of spots where i could have tilted and i didnt, so i am happy with that. most of the 3/6 losses are on PS where i dont have much money, don't really like the software, and cant dodge a 5 outer for my life

[Ship Ship McGipp]

ok snipes my ftp account is rigged we should switch accounts so i can see if i can win on ftp and you can see if you can win on stars bc my stars account is cashmoney

actually I play relatively tight...but last night I played like 8+ hours straight, and I got VERY deep stacked(posted the $3200 pot i lost @ 2/4).

I also lost 2700 late last night to a guy who bought in for $150 and wouldn't fold any face card oop. And i didn't even break my mouse [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I had a 4k stack when he sat down, so we played V deep after he won some big hands.

My decision to move down for a bit to play/learn HU was definitely a good idea though, as I am getting some good deep stack experience, and fish keep sitting with me, even if I have a monster stack. at 5/10 I could sit alone for an hr or 2 if I was avoiding the better regs, at 2/4 someone sits within 5 mins every time.

I've also gotten called a fish by multiple people whose entire BR is less than I've had in play @ a 25/50 table before. seems like too many players @ 2/4 are bluff happy and think calling down/semi bluffing light is spew, even when they take super obvious lines. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] yet they never seem to take me up on the offer of multiple tables. funny how that is

theres prob ~100-150 reg posters in both forums combined ......what % do u think will actually become winning players at 5/10 in the next year?? just food for thought

1-2 would be my guess. There are a lot of really bad posters as well. FWIW the jump from 1/2 to 2/4 is huge though, which I'm still struggling with.
