Did you like come home totally drunk from your home game and wonder how you managed to lose like 100 bucks against complete retards? Cause that's how I'm feeling right now...
And btw, after how many 2nd pair turned straight hands am I officialy allowed to hit one of my best friends right into the face? Thanks for information! Btw: I can't barely righ t anymore, anynoe out here playing micro stacks NLHE jsut PM me, I'm ready to bounce of some BI s...

I was serious about this question: What does it mean on the PokerEV graph that has net winnings where mine for the month is at +500, but sklansky and expected are at +1200?

[Effen]

Off memory (though this could be wrong), you lost $700 in hands where you didn't go to showdown. SD was $1200, real results were $500, so hands that didn't goto SD = 7 bills.

Someone explain to me why I'm banging my head against the wall at 50NL when I can take an underrolled shot at 100NL? WTF, is .5/1 the land of milk and honey?
