i hate it when people title a post "NL100" "NL50" "NL200" or whatever and here is why:

1. this is the no limit forum. there is no need to tell us that your hand was a no limit hand. WTF?

 Ugh. It does matter and it took us forever to start getting everybody to label their posts properly.

Here comes a big shocker: Not every level plays the same. 2NL does not play like 400NL. That's right. I said it.

So going into a thread, the reader should have a general idea of the players involved in the hand and this does just that.

2. referring to a limit by the maximum buy-in is silly.
-it is not traditionally done that way.
-it only began for micro limits so they would not
have to be called .01/.02.
-on full tilt there are games where the max buy-in
is 200bb. referring to a 1/2 game as NL400 is
confusing.

 IMO it is much easier to refer to the game by maximum buy-in. Consider:

1. We pretty much all buy-in for the maximum.
2. Going from the numbers to find the dash mark and then back to the numbers on the keyboard is annoying.

3. a better way exists ".5/1" "1/2" "2/4" and it takes
up less space.

 Huh? This is just plain wrong.

How does .5/1NL take up less space than 100NL? Is this one a joke or something?

Yeah, that's probably best. It's just that it's a tough game and some social aspect is needed. I'd never discuss hands or hand advice or poker theory, but to discuss with somebody how many hands a month we each play and if we plan to move up/down is something I do sometimes.

Is your name insaneaces? Some guy by that screen name was berating a fish at 25NL last night for playing with $75 in his bankroll.

[/ QUOTE ]I never berate fish. And I haven't played NL25 since I moved up from there this... hmm... February? I also haven't played FR cash in ages.

So I kinda doubt it's me. Nice try at guessing though.

LOL, why so offended then? Why post in this forum if you don't play FR cash? I didn't really think it was you, was just more pissed at that guy and wanted to post it somewhere. I've moved up too, I had to liquidate for my sisters wedding so, I'm rebuilding. August was my first full month of FR cash.

Nice report.

Looked like you guys had a lot of fun. I love traveling.

I especially liked the picture and caption of the gf going over the 'safe bridge' first. LOL.

Games have sucked this morning.

Where's the fish?

Tables have been weird this week. Either tough as hell or easy as a convent girl.

If today is like last Friday, hard before 3pm, then a little better, then easy as hell from 6pm onwards.

Yeah thats him. Seemed like a nice guy in chat.
His stats weren't the greatest either, so I don't think he was too serious about it. But he did say he was trying to build his online roll.

[/ QUOTE ]
I heard he has most of his ME winnings in investments. Seems like a smart guy. Doesn't let his ego get in the way and play nosebleed stakes because of a big tourney score.

This might not be a very good idea given that everyone is already doing it the other way:
