how bad are some of you?

[sickread23]

Lulz... just name names.

IKR.... whole OP reeks of jealousy. Tommy, I am going to be very nice when I say this, but you really aren't a good poker player. Your poker theory is very bad bro. I would encourage you to take a week and study things like ranges, fold equity, nash shoving/calling ranges, and other sundry things. Now lets talk about what you are really getting @ in your thinly veiled jealous OP. First off, I have run less than 20 games for Poke, and the first day I made a FT in an $11 mtt and lost QQ<99 and 55<AQ, and still got 8th for $110. The past 2 days were filled with bad beats and silly BS. I am less than $100 in MU, and could easily have shipped that $11 score for 1k if not for run bad late. Thats why you get staked, so that you can ride the variance wave till you score some wins. As far as Jay and DK12, they have not had any real scores yet, but they have just started and play a more high variance style. The whole staking operation is going to be fine if we ride it out, and your coming off as so JELLY. You keep playing for your min cashes, and thinking " If it werent for the Casino losses" Prove it bro. Talk is cheap. I would encourage you to play the Carbon PO FRs tbh. Your game isn't nearly as good as you think it is. I can think of players like Jay,DL12, myself, Creds, Pray4Spades, WEC, JDS, and a few other that I would stake over you. There are 3-5 players in the PO Carbon FRs who are more +ev in games than you. Your game theory is awful man. I wouldn't be so harsh, but it really is clear in your OP that your JELLY because Poke is staking Jay/DK12/ and myself and not you. Bro I have made almost $70 in 10 days alone off Carbon PO FRs. Why more people including you aren't playing these games is beyond me. Even if for nothing else that WD'ing the $$$ to Depo on another site you prefer more. Trust me Tommy its not the casino thats your only leak. I wouldn't have said anything, but you really rub me the wrong way quite often. There are easily 10 players on PO that are better than you Tommy, so get over yourself.

lmao you need to get a life for real kid. im not asking or looking to be staked. wasnt even talking about you or any of the whole poke deal. i asked a simple question. wasnt poking at anyone really.

nothing to be jealous of. if i need money its a short skip down to walmart and ill deposit. im not a broke bitch like most of you begging tards here.

i was not trying to come off as jealous or anything here. i really think youre an idiot for the most part. and of course you post a 3 page article like normal. you should go get a job at the newspaper so you can enjoy reading what you write on a regular basis you ego moron

[MyDogsRMyHomies]

if a person is extremely passionate and wants to get very good at playing poker then why should that person consider quitting the game if they play every single day? i don't quite follow you on that statement.

fwiw, i know for a fact that not literally everyone on PO is broke. for example, johnny deep stacks is killing it and atm it looks like he has a $200 BR.

A $200 bankroll killing it does not make, just goes to show you how far of some of these ppl are

[tommy62278]

hey im not saying there are no good players here. i agre with sickread on a few things. dk12 jayyy creds and nab can all play good poker. i dont think other players are as good as they think. SICKREAD being number 1 on that list but he knows the game.

this thread was not intended on calling anyone out. mainly just a how can ppl win 100$ one night and be broke the next??? makes no sense. especially if theyre decent players. did they just get a lucky FT? deck run them over?

[Drywallman3]

This is my 1 cent, there is maybe a handful of players who can make a living grinding free rolls and taking their winnings and buy into $$ games and stay in the positive.

For the most part here at PO there it is 85% degens whether it be Poker, Sports Betting, Client, Casino's or any other form of gambling.

This is why we are seeing more and more " I messed up and sorry for screwing _______ over and will try and re pay my debt" threads.

I wouldn't say I am killing it but I am doing well for joining in Oct. 2013 Zero to $200 is fine by me.

[jayyy27]

Even good players can have major down swings. Look at Sickread's hand history from yesterday. Doesn't matter how good you are when that shyt happens. I think all you did hear Tommy is open a wide range of opinion and thoughts on a subject that is relevent in the forum. People are just responding to it in their own way in how they understand it. Actually think that it was a great Thread to get people thinking and talking about their game.

Well this is a BR building site last time I checked. So what exactly are you expecting? Winning players? Your not a winning player, and who cares if a bunch of people here play poker and lose. You come across as a dick head telling people they should quit playing poker if they play day after day and lose. And LOL you weren't referencing the whole POKE staking operation thats clearly in the market. Sure, thats believable. What pray tell were you referencing in the market that had you so worked up you felt the need to create a thread? FWIW, 90% of the stakes in market, including stakes that you have given or received are -ev for the backer. 50-50 deals with SB are a joke. The mere fact that most of you guys do these just goes to show how little you really understand the game. Tommy you're a nice guy for the most part, so I wont proceed to poke fun, but get real. I mean you talk about how you should have folded AK OTB when you opened a 20BB stack and the BB raised, or you calling 15% of your stack after an UTG limp and a raise. The limper is going to call and you sandwiched in between the limper and the raiser, which a stack thats super shallow relative to the bloated pot. Then in the next breathe, your asking for stakes into HI5 mtts, including a $33 and $60 mtt. You would get eaten alive bro. In all seriousness though, I think even on BCP your -ev over a $5 BI.
