Scottish Dave's Bankroll Experiment

[mikkyT]

However a Hun is actually a member of a nomadic pastoralist people who invaded Europe in the 4th cent.

Attila?

Yea...

Its used by catholics to describe prodestants and historically refers to the germanic decent of much of Britain, via the Huns. Wikipedia can be quite useful sometimes! Although these days meanings are twisted somewhat and usually its an insult.

European Huns

Huns made an appearance in Europe in the Fourth Century AD, appearing first north of the Black Sea area possibly from Central Asia, forcing a large number of Goths to seek refuge in the Roman Empire; then later the Huns appear west of the Carpathians in Pannonia, probably sometime between 400 and 410, which was probably the trigger for the massive migration of Germanic tribes westward across the Rhine in December 406.

The establishment of the 5th century Hun Empire marks one of the first well-documented appearances of the culture of horseback migration in history. Under the leadership of Attila the Hun, these tribal people achieved military and diplomatic superiority over their rivals (most of them highly cultured) through weapons like the Hun bow and a system of pay-offs, financed by the plundering of wealthy Roman cities to the south, to retain the loyalties of a diverse number of tribes.

Attila's Huns incorporated groups of unrelated tributary peoples. In the European case Alans, Gepids, Scirii, Rugians, Sarmatians, Slavs and Gothic tribes all united under the Hun family military elite. Some of Attila's Huns eventually settled in Pannonia after his death, but the Hun Empire would not survive Attila's passing. After his sons were defeated by Ardaric's coalition at the unidentified river Nedao in 454, the Hunnish empire ceased to exist.

The memory of the Hunnish invasion was transmitted orally among the Germanic peoples and is an important component in the Old Norse Völsunga saga and Hervarar saga, and the Old German Nibelungenlied, all portraying events in the Migrations period, almost one millennium before their recordings. In the Hervarar saga, the Goths make first contact with the bow-wielding Huns and meet them in an epic battle on the plains of the Danube. In the Völsunga saga and the Nibelungenlied, King Attila (Atli in Norse and Etzel in German) defeats the Frankish king Sigebert I (Sigurðr or Siegfried) and the Burgundian King Guntram I (Gunnar or Gunther), but is subsequently assassinated by Queen Fredegund (Gudrun or Kriemhild), the sister of the latter and wife of the former.

BTW this "hun" bears no relation to the use of the world to descibe Germans during WW1, I think the only relation was to do with a similarity between the helmets of the two armies. Again, all depends on context.

oo er!

[mikkyT]

Aye thats terrible you ya fienian!!

right if i get my post modified, i want this too!!!

Infact ban the Bar-steward

LOL in the interests of fairness:

Fenian is a term used since the 1850s for Irish nationalists (who oppose British rule in Ireland). It can also specifically refer to members of the Irish Republican Brotherhood (see Historical usage below). The term is still used especially in Scotland and Northern Ireland, where its original meaning has continued and possibly expanded to include all supporters of Irish nationalism and by extension Roman Catholics of Irish descent, many of whom are traditionally (sometimes incorrectly) seen as supporters of Irish nationalism. The term in its more modern usage is often considered offensive and a sectarian insult.

[Scottish Dave]

Since when has the word Hun been offensive? It must have a very different meaning up there is all I can say!!

Keep up the good work Dave, you sticking to this is making me do the same

Mikky why do you always need to get all high and political with us all the time!

the term hun, is used by me to describe the Teddy bears, end of. Everyone on here knows me and knows that i mean no harm by it, its posts like this one that makes people think i have other agenda's when i say the term 'Hun' just leave it out and things will be fine.

Ironside you, and everyone else on here knows me and knows what i mean when i use the term 'Hun', so please stop jumping all over posts and calm down about it.

this is supposed to be a thread about my bankroll, and its going elsewhere now - sometimes i wonder why i even bother posting any'fuckin'more.

[Sark79]

Ok, back to the proper topic on here.   How is the BR challenge going mate?   I liked Wardonkeys Part 1, is there a part 2 coming mate?

I also read some 2+2 posts on STT.  Jesus Christ it is in another language  , really hard to understand for a simpleton like me

[Graham C]

As a brief summary Sark

1. Low levels - play tight as tight can be
2. Mid levels - open up slightly
3. Abuse your tight position and go for it (but sensibly)

[Sark79]

Cheers graham. 

I am going to stick with ring games,  don't you think they offer a better way to build you BR?

Cheers graham.

If you are good!  I'm not very good at playing cash, I can't seem to adjust for it and probably play too many hands. 

At my level and for me, I think stt's are the way to go.  If I win I get get around $40 for winning (I've moved to the 18 man sng's)  which for 45-60 mins work is great.  I can't get this return in ring games, I'm just not good at them.  Actually I'm about to move up to the $15+1 ones too which pays over $100 to the winner.

I'd like to say mtt's are the way to go but the value I get out of them isn't that great.  Last nights efforts for 7th place took me over 5 hours and I only made about $100 profit - not the best but it was bloody good fun.  I love playing mtt's,  especially when the blinds get big and you have 100k + in chips to be playing with, it's just great fun but as far as making money and building up the bankroll goes, it has to be the sng's for me

It's great that everyone is different though. If we were all the same, I'd probably earn less from them

Are you Me, in disguise??? thats what im talking about with MTT's i love them so much

Nice post BTW, hope the $15 STT work out as the $10 did

[Graham C]

thanks, mtt's are great but I don't cash high enough often enough to build a bankroll hence the sng's.  I do like the sng's though and the 18 man ones are more interesting and take no longer to play.

It was only $6 games before and they don't do a $10 18 man sng - bit of a step up,

[thetank]

Loving the thread Dave, keep us updated.

Take a look at Wardonkey's piece on STT strategy if you've not already. It's all good advice. Except perhaps advocating the playing of AQ  (how loose is that?)

If Mikky keeps trying to divert it, give his parole officer a call.
