I have dropped a "sup bro" in unknown card rooms and have received the countersign of "sup bro". I try to confirm the read by stacking 2 stacks of 2 dollar chips and then combining them into a single stack of 4 chips, which should be the universal 2+2 signal. It would be helpful to identify at a glance for table selection purposes.

I have been shocked who is a 2+2 active poster. I had one show up to a home game that I advertised on Craigs list.

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout. Some sort of ubiquitous(albeit subtle) communication to other 2+2ers. For those of you fortunate enough to get to the major casinos in LV and CA, this must seem silly. I'm guessing, though, that there's a significant minority of us that don't get to play live very often; probably due to geographic restraints. It'd be way nice to meet other like-minded folks that post here when I do get to play live.

Other suggestions are welcome. (Please don't flame/redicule me 'cause I'm not trying to be an idiot here. BTW, women are more than welcome to respond.)

There needs to be a universal sign to aknowledge another 2+2er. Sup bro is good, but have you ever gave a sup bro, only to find out they have never heard of 2+2? Its too common imo

That's why the "all county 95!" or "15 tackles for losses!" response is useful. TOTAL nonsense to anyone not in the know. I've only gotten a couple "sup bro's" from folks sitting down and they were always legitimate, non-ID-requesting greetings since their response to my "all county 95!" has always been "huh?"

I usually will ask them if they know Orlando Salazar

Or try paging Brandi Rose over the intercom and see who at your table reacts.

My avatar is the same as the card capper I use while playing. I have been identified as 2+2er LVM quite a few times due to that. No real code. Just saying 2+2 out loud is often enough to get some head turns.

How 'bout "the guy who's always at TI that everybody knows named Michael"? You're not hard to spot.

[/ QUOTE ]

Fair point. Unfortunately, it seems that you and I have never crossed that I am aware of. I did ask a guy once, at TI, if he was Bav, and he said no. If you're ever heading down there, give me a ring (pm for the number). Would be nice to finally meet.

I'd say less than 10% of the active 2+2ers are good players. Just because you post on 2+2 doesn't mean you know what your doing. Luckily for the other 90% there is a path to enlightenment

[/ QUOTE ]

Not to highjack the thread, but since this was mentioned, how do we know when reading the strategy forums to avoid the advice from the losing players? Or is simply the discussion and thinking about hands the benefit in and of itself? At least books have a supposed expert behind the material. With only 10% of posters being winners, the consensus of opinion on how to play a hand could be the losing opinion.

I didn't say 10% winners, I said 10% good players. There are lots of marginal winners who cant think outside of the box, and lots of luckboxes who haven't learned yet that they are just lucky to avoid a lot of tough situations.

Thats the beauty of the forums, you should spend the time to figure out who the experts are, its not hard if you spend enough time here - and just listen to what they have to say while weighing out the logic behind the naysayer's POV.

We've crossed paths. I know you. You know me now but don't know you do. Isn't mystery fun? Not sure why but sitting there one evening I was thinking "I bet that's LVM" and then someone says "hey Michael" and you reply. DINGDINGDING. I'll think about fessing up when we cross paths again.
