i think this is definitely true for events like the 1k and the 200reb, but to be breakeven/losing all this time is really meh

one can have a tournament schedule where the max buyin is the 55r and the 162 (and the 215s on sundays) and still destroy.

i think if mkind just eliminated the 100r+, $320+ tournaments over the course of the week, his confidence would go up infinite.

Yea thats basically what i do in terms of daily tournaments then play some of the larger weekly ones and am backed for the two 1k's.

Really helps keep the variance down and i think to beat things like daily 100r, sunday 200r and a few of the other toughest you need to be really highly rolled and extremely good at poker.

No point playing things for ego.

Dude, I've been telling you this for a long time. Glad you finally backed off some of the **** tourneys. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Except that he says he isn't.

mkind lies to make people feel bad for him "running bad" He's done this same type of post before on the pxf forums.

The funny thing is he hasn't run that bad according to his DB. I haven't FT'ed a single tournament in over 3 months.

one issue he has is that he is buddies with Annette and believes his game is the same as hers, so he should have the same results. it isn't, and he won't, but not sure he'll see that/believe that so he will always have a warped view of what he could accomplish.

i think imper1um called him out on that in the P5 thread as well.

Funny the poker db says I'm "up" 60k (I'm sure it says 60k in cashes, not profit, which for a high stakes MTT player is actually not that much). In my 2.5 months of being backed, I am up $4800, of which half was paid to my backers. When you throw in all the money I pay for travel expenses, I'm well into the red. Hell, London alone cost me 5k for the week I'm here.

I played cash games from last May until this May. I was playing very infrequently due to the fact that they bored me so much, but I was still a modest winner in 5/10 and 10/20 nl games. This past May, I moved up to 25/50 and after a little success early, I went on a big downswing and then decided no mas. Cash games are just too boring to me and I can't handle the immediate downswings.

The p5 rankings are based on a TLB. They don't include ROI, so if you play a lot and lose, you can be ranked higher. Also, you have to be a member of p5. Their list of other strong players who don't meet the criteria is much stronger and includes well known live tournament pros and cash games players.

mkind, if you are a winner over a big sample (200-500k hands) at 25/50, i will have a sex change into a woman

mkind, if you are a winner over a big sample (200-500k hands) at 10/20, i will give you my first born child

mkind, if you are a winner over a big sample (200-500k hands) at 5/10, i will consider paying for cosmetic surgery to make you less ugly

(and hey- maybe give you a chance with annette!)
