[Das Budrick]

the worst swing I had at 50nl was like 7 BI, then I thought well obv move up to make it back, lost 4 BI at 100nl and called it a day

I think I made all of it back within 2k hands at 50nl

I love calling.

I don't post the ones I lose though.

[bottomset]

is he bluffing with KJ on the river there? valuebetting? betting for the sake of betting?

[Das Budrick]

ah, a little bit of each it seems

[the_main]

Anyone know who 'ahhh_snap' is? He plays 25/50 on stars, but was in my 1/2 game yesterday or today. He was playing pretty solid, so I assumed he was making a video or something. I ended up stacking him in one hand and would love to see the video if it exists.

[vizer02]

He's a friend of Daut44's from Cardrunners(Ryan Daut, I think is his real name), so if it's for a vid then it might be on Cardrunners soon. However, here's one of Daut's latest blog entries:

im going to take a couple days off then when i get home i think im going to 24 table 1/2 nl for a few days to cool my head off a little and to get to 300k vpp on stars. im at about 283k right now so i figure 3 days of 24 tabling will get me there and have it cleared so after that ill go back to grinding 10/20.

I've come to realize that all-in equity is a really, really tiny fraction of the overall luck factor.

Not to say you aren't experiencing a run of bad luck; I'm sure you are. But I think that all-in equity tells us much less than we think it does.
