Guys hold your horses. You know me, you know the mod team. Would we doing anything to harm this forum? No. Would we make a big decision without thinking it through VERY carefully? No. Do we make smart, tough decisions every single on this forum? Yes. So please just think about it a minute...

Fair enough Nick but it is frustrating when something is happening that is very out of character for the site and will change the site greatly.

Hope you all sort something out.

Whatever happens I just hope it doesn't take a chunk of the community I'm only just getting into

The only thing I'm afraid of is the forum not reversing its decision to avoid embarassment or something.

it already his taken some great posters. lets just hope everyone doesnt leave.

 

[jdeliverer]

I'd like to trust that it's going to be ok... obviously there's nothing I can do to help but I hope we can make this work out. So many people I respect here are involved and it would really suck to not have them here.

So I guess all I have to say right now is... the ****?

 

[slycbnew]

Nick and mods, I'm certainly willing to be a little patient, and understand there may be things that can't be said.

However, several of the best cash game posters are threatening to leave - these are guys that I read no matter what the topic is - several of the best haven't said anything yet, but for the sake of keeping the quality of discussion in this forum high, I think it's important to say something substantive relatively quickly.

I hate seeing the community fragmented like this and hope something can be said very soon.

Let`s be calm, shall we ? Nobody`s pants are on fire.

Before Zach or any of the people threatening to leave ever got here, the core of this forum was a group of 6-10 competent players (Liam, Chris, Taylor, Rex, that Toasty chap , one or two others). None of us has any thought of going anywhere, as far as I know. CC will be just fine.

 

[BelgoSuisse]

bye too, i think.

 

[jdeliverer]

correct me if I'm wrong but
1/3 Multiplied by 1/3 = 1/9th

STDEV I guessed mine was the same as I couldn't be arsed looking mine up.
Mine is probably a little lower hence I'd have less variance but its still frightening none the less.

If you want to be picky over my accuracy I'd suggest mentioning how there is only ten samples.

Yeah, (1/3)^2 is 1/9 obv, but it's actually much worse than that. You said you could have a losing/break even 100k streak 1/3 of the time, and so you could have a 200k losing/break even streak 1/9 of the time. But you will have that much more often.

You only counted the times where you have a negative 100k stretch twice in a row. But what if you have a negative 100k stretch and then a marginally positive 100k stretch? It could still be negative. Or if you start off break even or slightly positive and then finish the month terribly you could have a losing month. In the end, you'll probably have a losing month about 20% of the time.

OK, bye. Live long and prosper.

Over him? Really?

 

[Emperor IX]

Placing emphasis on other members who are leaving is not as bad as acting like it's not a big deal.

[GeoffLacey]

For sure

 

[Deltafrost]

this day is amazing....not

 

[Stu_Ungar]

Well this may be the kick up the ass we all need.

Time to stop sponging knowledge off the likes of Zach and get down to some serious poker study and play.

After all they made it through hard work and dedication, so looks like that's what's install for us.

 

[Emperor IX]

For me, Vanq and Combu are FML's. But they have not said anything, so why are others speaking for them?

 

[Jurn8]

thats what bw told me on AIM so maybe he has spoken to them on AIM

 

[Egon Towst]

im calm. just stating a concern.

OK, it`s a reasonable concern. I`m just asking people not to get too excited.

I have met Olivier (BelgoSuisse) in real life, and consider him a good chap, but if he wants to go, he can do that as far as I am concerned. This community is bigger than any individual.
