Ha! I know what you're saying! They have treated me very well so far. TBH I don't know if it could get any better?!

 

[Poker Orifice]

I don't know how you can summon up the willpower to play a game where you can play for 10 years and be no closer to knowing your ROI.

I don't get why it would even matter? ('true' ROI I mean). As long as you figure you're always improving (or attempting to), I don't see what difference it'd make.

You don't know what difference knowing whether a game is +ev or not would have on your decision to carry on entering that game?

Is that what I said?

 

[duggs]

ROI is not static blue its dynamic by the time its converged you or the games will have changed

 

[KingCurtis]

Final table of a small $20 Deep stack and approaching another on intertops in a $9. Should be fun!

 

[only_bridge]

Some really silly hands lately.
One was as follows:
Short stack goes all-in EP for 10bb's.
MP maniac pushes over the top for 30bb's.
I call with AA, everyone else folds.
EP has A4o, MP has the obvious 84o.
Flop 88x, turn 8.

Sometimes I think Campbell is right. People at the micros honestly don't realise the rest of us have cards.

 

[only_bridge]

Not sure if $16.5+r is considered micro though.

Looks like PS thinks its Low.

lol, alright, fair enough. Didn't see the 16 tournament bit, read it as 1.60 for some reason.

 

[seanDCFC]

Im just getting back into the poker grind, havent had much time recenlty with the long hours i work. Im hoping to put in some decent volume this month though.
I want to play at least 100 $3.50 turbo SNG's and try to move up to the $7 games as soon as possible.

I need some new goals, have had way more playing time than I thought I would. Ive played 150 games already and im mixing in a few $7 games. New goals are to play 300 games before the end of the month and to reach silverstar status.

Hopefully I keep running as well over the next 150 games

 

[BlueNowhere]

Depresses me when I see graphs like that lol.

onto the 12th day and I've yet to even have a winning day after 346 games.

My stats for the month:
games ........average profit......... total profit .... average stake.......... ROI
346 ................ -$0.81.................. -$281.37 ..............$3.14 .......... -25.8%

You should always have outs when you semibluff on the flop, but 24 of spades?
Thats a bit on the weak side I think.

true ,i was just suprised that he showed up with that hand, he played 0 hands out of 14. I was expecting a pair of some sort

a pp had eq vs your cbet range so he prob should just flat.Not a bad board to bluff raise at all imo.

fair enough, but do you like the all-in bluff rather than a decent sized raise?
