Sky 6 max UKPC Staking Package

[redsimon]

Right calmed down a bit now from last night after a relaxing morning in the steam room and a swim at the gym.  Thanks for all the regs commenting on my rants.  I appreciate the input but i am a terrible loser generally and after a monster 9 day session at dtd over all the sky donkfests and sats looking down at those kings in the bb i had my eyes on the £14k first prize.  It's over now and we move on.

Everyone has a £6 refund per 1%.  TBH i don't really want the hassle of refunding £12's to every one (i will if anyone really wants obviously) so happy to roll it all forward for a bullet at the GPS at dtd in September although this would mean the mark up would be a bit higher than before.  Can everyone let me know what they think.

Once again thanks for your support and i await instructions from the investors.

Rollovers fine as long as you've calmed down by then

Secured your spot in the advent calendar at least.

Hi Arbs

Ive enjoyed the sweat and feel your hurt.

Im not wanting a refund you can use if for the GPS if thats in order.

See you on the DTD site some time.

Cheers

Harsh to mug the guy off like this in public. It's gambling.

yeah 100% agree with this. Ofc it's tilting to play good all week and get sod all back in return, but putting the guys Hendon mob on here and saying how bad he is is imo totally out of order. 

It hurts a lot when that happens but in the long run u will win with kings way more than lose so you should want him calling off all day long. I would be loving my life when he flips AQ, if he hits he hits that part is unfortunatly out of your control.

As pads said if you kept getting yourself into these spots in the 1st place you were obv playing well. When u in the last third of any tourney it is massively relied on luck imo.

Oh and afaik the guy in question grinds cash online with his own bankroll.

calling ppl out for "assuming they get staked" is pretty rude don't you think? and considering 85% of the poker population gets backed is pretty laughable too.

AQ>KK is just bog standard. Happening deep in a big comp is straight up bog standard, almost expected. And as we all know terrible play is ultra rewarded as STANDARD! Happens to EVERYBODY!! So dry ur eyes arbboy

So you wouldn't vote for him to be Vanessa Selbst's next protege? Pretty sure it's the same guy right?!



Even Trumper is plugging him!

85%? Where do you get that figure from, Dreenie?

I have no data to back my view up, but the real number is surely way, way, less than that. I'd put it at under 10%, but just a guess. The vast majority of the poker playing population are "low limit" recreationals who have never even heard of staking, & would not be in the least interested in being staked.

Of course the 85% it's pulled out of the sky  but like most things in the tiny little poker world if we have 20 mates who play poker and 17 are staked that must be representative of the whole population.  Just like calling off the vast majority of your stack in this particular situation is a 'totally standard spot'.  It's one of the funniest phrases used in poker in the past 5 years 'totally standard spot'.  It can usually be translated roughly into 'i got far too many big blinds into a pot when there was no need to in a really marginal/usually -EV/bad ICM spot and lost the 43/57% or 28/72% 'flip which isn't a flip but we will call it a flip because it sounds better when we tell the backers' when there were far better uses/spots to invest my gambling tokens for my backers'

I don't understand what the problem is here. You jammed an awful lot of BB with a premium hand, presumably so it would look like a kinda bluffy squeeze, he interprets the move in this way and calls with a pretty ideal hand against a bluff squeezing range, and he got there. If, even after a few days, you can't take that, you should probably look at some stuff like the mental game of poker and work on improving in this area, or find a different game to play.

[SuuPRlim]

do agree with that point Mark.

Feel like there is a tone used towards people who are backed that's kinda derogatory, you'd be very surprised at who is and isn't backed in the poker world.

Hi Dave, good to see you last week, thanks for coming along to UKPC, & I hope you got the lot in the cash game.

In case there is any confusion, the point I made earlier about Staking was not suggesting it was a bad thing, just that I thought "85%" was wrong by a factor of about 10!

I do have views on serial staking generally, but that's another story altogether, and they certainly don't include anything derogatory about those who are staked, or who stake. It does sort of worry me in some ways though, some folks don't 'arf get in some big holes, & I heard THE most incredible staking story last week, though it's not for publication, sadly. Each to their own is fine, though. I now play small-ball poker, & I've never enjoyed my poker as much as I do now.

I am just answering questions put to me and statements made against me.  I am well over it there is no problem.  Let's just move on.
