Overall a bad thing short/medium term. Long term if they get bad enough maybe we will see someone else enter.

Except as duggs said it's going to be hard for anyone else to enter the market in the first place. Including long-term. Unless you're talking like a decade+, and even then I'm guessing we'd have to see some unexpected circumstances for that to happen.

FML next thing you know we'll end up having to pay for a subscription to subsequent "updates"

I was wondering if PT4 and HEM users may be grandfathered in for a deal of some sort, because otherwise we're gonna end up getting purely dicked. I'm pretty sure this is gonna end up being a subscription type of service now.

They will run as separate brands still, just not competing and colliding on prices

lol, I've seen tons of these posts lately. They give me a headache trying to read. Are people trying to get into freerolls or something?

Anyway, had my first losing session. Ended with 15% w$sd or so. Villains had top of their range the whole session. Made it back, but that'll put a quick stop to awesome winrates.

Any chance for sympathy stopped at the bold. Though I do love me some insane winrates. :)

That we beat and calls a bet*

Keep in mind we basically only rep boats/quads. So if he actually gets to this point with 43 he should be folding to a river bet. Maybe he doesn't, but I don't think it's that tough a spot for him to fold. We just don't get to this point on this board with very much air at all.

The open is probably bad, but his 3bet sizing is so small I thought I could peel profitably, especially as I have him marked as a massive fish. I'm getting better than 4-1 and have position.

Yeah open is just bad play on my part, only reason is I didn't notice BB was short he must have lost a big pot but also I felt I'd been folding too much. But your right, still no reason for it.
