losing faith in the maths - must read!

[Rookie (Rodney)]

must read? lol

Haha, I laughed at this too! I thought that a mod must have changed the title as the OP is so funny.

[action man]

i laugh when i hear people say the internet is rigged because i know they have no clue about life and hence, no clue about poker. Live players who say online is rigged because they cannot understand why they do their nut in online yet do OK ish live. Well chaps its because you play more hands online and variance catches up to you, and you dont like it cause in reality your a losing player long term and varience is coming with a late rattle on the outside.

Don't tap the tank, we NEED these people playing poker.

hi again guys, just to reiterate a couple of things as the previous posts have got the wrong idea a bit

1) i dont think online poker is rigged in any way - i just needed to vent my frustration

2) I am a succesful winning player online and have grinded out a bankroll from $100 to %2500 in 2 months playing SnG's despite the recent variance and so dont really understand the previous poster saying i should brush up on my game.

3) The 'must read' part of the post - well lol, the forums i usually post on hardly get any replies and thats y i started posting on blonde with the over dramatic title - ill keep more realistic next time

cheers

As a lurker and irregular poster, I thought it was well worth a read with all the replies. Which is why I like this place.

Winning mosest amounts online at low and mid limit STTs isn't difficult. I don't know what poker forum you used to post on but $2,400 in 2 months is not going to convince many here that you know everything there is to know.

Always room to get better, but if you want to stagnate in mediocrity because further learning challenges your ego (the thought there might possibly be something about STT strategy that you don't already know) then crack on.

You're not alone, it's the path of most grinders. Learn enough to win consistantly and then stop learning. Moan about bad luck every once in a while grinding out a less than impressive hourly.

erm thanks Tank - still not sure where youre coming from, i dont have a big ego and thats why i have not mentioned the following recent wins this year : 4th Stars sunday warm up for 32k, 4 sunday full tilt brawl for 22k, 2 1st place finishes in Cake nightly $109 plus a recent live win at the vic festival for 9k

I pay the SnGs on a daily basis but am also a succesful at mtt. I didnt feel it nessesary to say this before as i dont have an ego or brag bone, im actually very modest. I just didnt understand you 'ego' reply which made a judgement without the full story

great forum though!

Good karma guaranteed if you try it, I know the man with the lever to the RNG

because I project my own personality onto everyone else

Where I'm coming from is that everyone who thinks they have nothing to learn I see as probably having an ego issue impeding them in some manner. (either that or they're stupid/crazy, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt)

Ego not in the sense of bragging to others and being boastful, but ego in terms of how honest you are with yourself about your own skill level. It just doesn't logically follow that someone should rigidly oppose the idea that they have any more to learn. After all, even if you were the best in the world you could probably still improve.

If you win mad dimez in MTTs (or if you earn mad dimez in real life job for that matter) then fair play to you. I was just talking about the STTs though coz that was what thread seemed to be about.

Just because you win doesn't mean you play good, but you probably do, just because you play good doesn't mean you can't play better.

I consider myself a very good player, i still take the time to try to learn new things everyday about the game, i have been playing online MTT's for 6 years now and if i had stopped to learn i would have gone skint a long time ago, as it is that $30 spinup has just passed the $1m mark and i can't wait to get better at poker!

thanks Tank - i can never stop learning this wonderful game! noone ever can - the game evolves constantly and players have to adapt and learn all the time. When i first started playing years ago, i was advised to 'always raise on the button' whereas nowadays, that can be lethal! Try button raising me when im in the big blind lol

I do play on blonde, in fact i won a $15 feeder to the equal chance event this week but the main satallite was cancelled dur to lack of runners. 'Colchest Kev' was really pushing to get players in and then failed to enter himself!!! Its a shame this event is not properly advertised at Equal Chance club which i frequent. They should put out a bunch of flyers to promote this monthly satellite.

As for the blonde website - along with Blue Square website, there are 3 features missing that prevent me from playing on Blonde full time. 1) not being able to choose seating position, 2) screen not popping up whens its my turn 3) no time bank

Ps: what do the following mean

ido?

As to Equal Chance promo-ing the sats, yes I agree
