so you're gonna 12 table or something, not 24, right ? I mean if the point is to make money...

Between 12 and 16. I feel pretty comfortable 16-tabling and still playing pretty well. If I hit a downswing I'll probably cut back and work on just playing my game again at 9-12 tables or w/e but I've been playing 16 the last few days (mix of FTP and Stars 400nl with a few 200nl tables while waiting for the 400 tables) and I feel pretty comfortable.

objective observation (not a complaint): i've held up with a set vs. a flush draw once this month out of either 5 or 6 times. that's not a very good rate

Meh, you're really pushing the limit of this "not complaining" pledge, imo...

Seems like the criteria now is that as long as he claims he's not complaining, he can then complain as much as he wants after it .

well the spirit of the bet was not "you're only allowed to report about good things that happen!". that would be kind of dumb honestly. things happen and we post about them. but there's a clear difference between making a factual statement (that happens to be a negative occurence rather than a positive) and saying you can't believe how bad you run, you're so unlucky, you hate this effing game, etc. etc., ya know

if you guys can't see the difference, i don't know what to tell you. i'm not going to be like "well i want to post this hand or statistic, but it has a negative outcome so i can't"

This enough to collect on it? Direct quote.

Oh wait just realized it's not direct lol, still a quote though, with unnecessary pronouns removed .

March Mayhem, obv.

countdown to busto imo, zach's gaming too hard for this 1/16th of a 400NL buy-in

Why are you guys putting words in my mouth ? Sick bastards.
Don't have a clue what WV said but it sounds close to matriarchal..

Combu is just projecting, as Freud says, his own lusts and fantasies ldo.

Mayhem sounds nice imo.

...march masochism seems appropriate from how these threads turn out.

"Ministry of March Mayhem" LDO!

ministry of sound ? much better than plain old march pffff

good music too

Well I am putting in the least about of hands and profit since September I think. Been sick twice ... work ... life ... Feb has been a bust. Only saving grace is that I cleared goldstar by like 92 points.

Don't plug that into an odds calculator, because you will vomit.

i think what happened is everyone got dealt way too many cards, you should talk to UB about that
