Marginal Tries to Poker

[Marginal]

ill play atleast 2.

I've sorta said before most people who play poker do stupid shit with money and play stakes too high for their BR. Most people who post on forums like these are way too nitty with money/brm and don't realize there's more to life than making ror 0% and maximizing ev. Or I guess more accurately that there's more to lifeEV than moneyEV.

True.

I mean, when you think about the difference between low stakes players and mid to high stakes players, the mentality that allows you to bluff in a 5k pot is going to be, more likely than not, the same mentality that has people doing stupid degenerate stuff.

I should also mention that FTP adding a casino is probably the worst thing that could ever happen to me online poker wise. Im pretty sure after that score im up (but wont be much more than $500) but, I can already see this being my downfall. While I have some self control, Im just going to click that lobby and lose my mind. Granted, I enjoy gambling but online like that in a cold dark room, is a bit sad.

with that said, If stars had BJ, i would be SN already.

Dont call me 9k. that would tilt me being associated with over9k.

marg is the man, clearly relatively new posters unaware of his aura

^this. If he wants to do it, it will be done.

 

[LgBassMan]

Also lg and people who dont know me, i kinda dont like that you judge me without knowing me, kinda lol. Also 200k (or 100k hands if i just play 600plo) hands in 7 months lol. seems easy.

No, you're right- I was quick to jump to a judgmental post. I don't know you, I haven't been here long so who am I to say anything?

I am following with interest, good luck.

the grind finally resumes today.

 

[rhombus]

GL with the grind.

Cant you block the Casino with settings so it doesnt keep popping up. Would be constant reminder to throw money away !!

 

[Marginal]

if i could ban myself or self exclude i would.

Fwiw, just played 3 hours of the most uneventful poker I've ever played. Finished down 2 BI but, VPPs

 

[Ubercroz]

Good luck grinding.

I was in vegas this last weekend and I spent about 4 hours doing nothing but folding. I don't know if it's more painful live or online. Live it just takes so long, and there are so few hands - but at least you have people to watch and to chatter with. Online is fast, but lonely.... so lonely...

 

[Marginal]

Nothing beats a 24 hour live session. Seriously, nothing

 

[Ubercroz]

A 12 hour session is about the longest I have played live.

Seems like the next few hours after that would be tough, but I am sure it comes around.

Awake off adrenaline, coffee, or blow?

 

[Marginal]

A line every 2 hours, coffee every 4

 

[vinylspiros]

Now thats the recipe to a long and healthy life.

 

[IPlay]

I wonder how many of those players playing 24-48 hour sessions are doing blow.

 

[Ubercroz]

you mean doing it every 2 hours? probably just like 1/2. doing it at all? like 90%.

 

[duggs]

So basically blow is rake?

 

[Ubercroz]

So basically blow is rake?

Yeah.... I guess you could say that cocaine is like "rake" for long sessions.
