Confession: I used to be a a NLO8 angle shooter

[NU Star]

I used to make single chip bets with my AAXX hands in NLO8 (.10/.25, .25/.50, .50/1). There are a lot of oppurtunities for this because of the high limp % in this game. I feel bad that I was angle shooting, but would probably still do it if I didn't find other games (w/o angle shooting) more profitable. How bad should I feel? [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Here is some of the evidence:

wow, awesome

ever have stars email you?

[citanul]

i ... don't ... get ... it...

[kyleb]

Wow. This is awesome.

I have no idea why Stars would ever care?

Look at the raise amounts carefully. It's only a single-chip raise and fish don't look at the buttons - they just see one chip.

Yeah, people used to report me sometimes. One time a guy called what he thought was a $.25 bet and the software just stole his stack, but stars just said he was confused by the chips...duh.

[citanul]

Actually even if they do look at the button, it'll say $25, instead of the $0.25 they usually are calling.

[kyleb]

Yeah, even if they look at the buttons it looks innocuous enough.

This is really awesome. How often did it work?

[bazooka87]

Hahahaha holy [censored] that's awesome
