***Official November Chat Thread: The Golden Duck***

[coordi]

I just got 400k hands sent to me through email. Took them about 3 days to gather it up, but they were all there as far as I know.

[Effen]

After all the hand wringing, agonizing, 1 coaching session to reinforce I'm not really doing anything wrong, etc., I'm going to sit at 25NL between now and December 1, play as much as I choose to play, and never, ever look at my balance. I don't even look when I reload or join tables. Just gogogogogo and what comes, comes.

Probably the smartest poker-related thing I could have done. By the end of it I should hopefully leapfrog 50NL entirely and be rolled (30 BIs) for 100nl and bypass 50nl entirely. End of operation thread to come Dec. 1, obv [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]. Wish me luck.

why skip 50? its like the 5o'clock free crack give-away. i suggest skipping 25 =)

[Berge20]

I'm getting annoyed at flopping top set in raised pot against an idiot, only to see them call the flop PSB and have a 3rd of one suit show up--then they call my bet to stop a 4-flush (me no have any of suit) and then it shows up.

3 times in the past hour this has happened.

kinda agree with split
