The Best In The Business

[redsimon]

I can sort of understand that posting graphs might rile some and probably best off GIQ.

Is all that play on Zoom nowadays? Have you given up the MTT grind or still flick it in on Sundays?

One guy says something on Skype and you insta-fold the graphs - hope you're not pushed out of pots so easily when you're playing poker.

Well it had came in the forum too and kinda felt abit weird when realising nobody else really posts and it can come across as abit big headed to always post.

Ha, unfortunately I am not a big fan of folding. I really shouldnt say this as opponents may read, but looking over my stats yesterday the big thing I found was that I have a 28% fold to 3bet. Ive never seen less than 40% from a winning reg and never really see less than 55% from most people and the average is definitely over 60 so I was like woooowwwwww and that was eye opening!

Thinly veiled "I can even outplay the wizards post flop" brag

Page 240 is a bit late for the thread to start GIQ - the fans have grown accustomed to a certain style.

The thread title is not 'The Moderately Talented In The Business (But I Don't Like To Shout About It)'

Yeh just zoom in preparation for sne. They were never meant in any way other than to document my results. Jut like how Monda did them in his thread I enjoyed reading andnkeepingupto date with his progress like that. But message understood.

Still playing mtts yeah but haven't for the last 2 weeks or so I've been busy met days that I haven't been ablemtoncommit to 8 hours worth of playing in a row.

Haha perhaps it's the end of bitb and time to just attempt to giq.

Nothing wrong with the graphs, other than they aren't mine

[redsimon]

I probably shouldnt post when Im ultra tired lol. Wasn't saying you shouldnt post graphs, hell I love seeing those steadily rising profits

The SNE challenge on top of your job with the site we can't spam on here about will keep you busy for sure in 2014!

I like the graphs. Just think cos & Alex were joking.

Same, doubt the graphs bother anyone really. If anything it will be the comments like a 'meh day' when the equiv of 2 weeks wages of an average person has just been won.

Yeah those are the things, I usually post at 4am when Im very tired. I think its good im at a point where the results dont make me happy or sad on a daily basis, so when I say its been a meh day it means Ive done absolutely nothing but grind and havent had fun rather than meh these results are pretty meh. Its just hard having a blog and writing as you piss people off when you really dont mean to and Im really not one to check every post I make (obviously  )

Thats why saying something along the lines of had a good day at the tables but didnt really do much of note would be better than posting a graph and saying its been a meh day.

[20:45:21] yxy:and that's why your blunt approach gets such harsh critics sometimes
[20:45:25] yxy: their reactions are never in proportion to your post
[20:45:32] yxy: but their jealousy gets the better of them
[20:46:24] yxy: i've found myself in conversations defending your name, but to your credit, only ever with pigeons
[20:46:43] yxy: all the heroes seem to just be very impressed by how you've gone from a fan of poker to a crusher ina  few years

When theres people Ive never met who would have something bad to say about you when in reality Id probably be really happy to help them and would be interested reading their blogs etc it just means that obviously I post in a way that doesnt put me in a good light. Its weird though because I post on a different forum almost identical posts and post a lot in other peoples blogs there and on a lot of strategy posts etc and im portrayed almost completely opposite there.

I think fun hands with big bluffs or hero calls (right AND WRONG) will generally be most entertaining for the audicene though, so will just stick to that. Like I said I have my own website being built right now, so montly blogs there with a graph on an overview, especially with SNE seems like a good way to do it.

Newcastle vs Sunderland on Sunday...

Graphs>HH

Especially those HH where i don't understand why what when how or who. Makes me kinda depressed to be like i dont understand this etc and makes me worried i could never get "wizard" status in this game. Most things in life i can get with enough understanding about it but some of your hands i dont!

The Graphs remind me it is possible to win at this game with determination and drive like you have. They make me jealous also but i would never say im the jealous type in a bad way or to get bitchy about it just the jealous type that makes me envy your success and would love to be able to copy it!

PING PING PING!

Obviously this!

I wouldn't write here if I didn't wish success on you. I'm definitely envious of your work off the table. I'd say less than 1% of poker players seem to spend as much time as you do working at the game so it's only fair you seem to be doing so well lately.

It's like Woodsey says though, semi-moaning at playing bad/running bad in the same sentence as 'only won 1k so whatever' just comes across badly to me.

Just figured you could take good old needles from people like Alex and me.

Post more graphs, continue to contribute to in all areas as you do but perhaps phrase things a little differently, not all PADS haters here

[pleno1]
