The Well: dobieatwar (stats/pathetic staking request included)

[BigBiceps]

I have been at 2+2 for a while, and my name often comes up in threads, but I never revealed my screenname, although some people might have figured it out by my obvious avatar.

I withdrew most and busted my remaining funds.

I would like a stake for just today until I can rebuild. I will transfer the money back at the end of the day with 50% of the profits. I will play 8-12 tables of whatever I am staked, so if 200 then I play NL25, 800-1200 NL100 etc. I will split it between multiple stakers starting at noon EST.

Possibly interested in a longer term higher buyin MTT stake if anyone else is interested.

5 screenshots of my stats are below. Below that are 3 hand histories showing where I lost my remaining money.

Ask me any questions here as well.

Stop going all in pre-flop.

[Split Suit]

why do u think minraising and minbetting is an effective strategy?

(srs question...not trying to b an ass)

[BigBiceps]

Because I consider open limping to almost always be a mistake.

I also consider playing too tight (<15% VPIP) to be a mistake.

Also, it encourages others to make mistakes when playing against me.

And the main reason: It is fun!

btw: congrats on your first place in the daily double that day, the opponents were truly pathetic.

[Split Suit]

do u feel ur play style is more adequate for FR or 6max?

[ship_it_trebek]

Why are you a tilt monkey? (serious question not patronizing)

[BigBiceps]

I prefer full ring, because I feel in the long run the rake is prohibitive at 6-max.

My style probably works better at 6-max, but hand reading is alot harder for me at 6-max, and that is one of my major strengths.

I do not think I tilt very often, seriously. Please explain in more detail.

[Split Suit]

fair enuff. i remember u being a spewfish at 50 (6max)...but fairly decent at 60 (deep 6max). i guess ur style works well when u can incorporate solid pot control...

[ship_it_trebek]

Well what caused the jump to 25/50 dollar blinds is the main question?
