Re(28): big session vs. mahatma
GP, First, let me say, I enjoy watching you play. There is no doubt that you are a very good poker player. As a matter of fact, it's probably not a stretch to say, at this point in time, you are one of the best 21 y.o. poker players on the planet. I know that someone that has a mind like yours would be successful in many other walks of life. You are a natural fit for the finance industry, but DO NOT make the mistake of going into the wrong field of finance. I don't remember if I read correctly, but I think I read somewhere that you were doing an internship in NY. Are you doing the internship ...

Re(8): A message to all the "youngsters"
Yes'sir truesyalose, I do believe we agree for the most part. There are some real hidden gems in the statements that you've made. My "NOTHING" statement was probably too definitive. I think I take for granted some of my sports knowledge as just "average" interest. *snip*

Re(6): A message to all the "youngsters"
Easy Truesyalose, when I first read your post, I actually thought to myself... Now that is a guy who seems to have an idea of what it takes to be successful at sports betting. Specifically, when you wrote... Sports betting is similar to poker in that you are playing against other people and that does give you an advantage if you are aware. Alas, I hope my first instincts about you weren't wrong. I assure you, someone who wants to be successful at sports betting is FAR BETTER OFF learning about "organizational behavior" than they will EVER BE learning about the sport. If you aren't (as you ...

Re(1): Was Bax sour about this one?
NG, I just wanted to commend you for you honesty. It takes an honorable person to admit that they wish they had intended to make a brilliant play, but didn't. You aren't going to beat Bax with "conventional" poker. Every argument that everyone has given makes complete sense only in the realm of "conventional poker". In case you haven't noticed, Bax doesn't lose much at the game of "conventional poker". Congratulations on the hand. BTW, disregard all advice and criticism the other people have given you in this thread. They are wrong. drinkceo

Re(4): A message to all the "youngsters"
Sdouble, This post is directed at you. Normally I just read these things and move on. However, you remind me a bit of myself when I was your age. First, let me preface with, I mean absolutely no disrespect. If you really think you have a future being a Major League Scout, concentrate on becoming a great talent in that field; however, please stop betting on sports. SUCCESSFULL sports betting has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE GAME. NOTHING TO DO WITH MATCHUPS. NOTHING. NOT A THING. I know this might be difficult to comprehend because the "event" at hand is in fact a "sport", but without ...

Post about Wachovia's article
Wachovia, I completely agree with the overused nh statement. Sometimes I think it is actually someone's nh that puts me on tilt when I take a bad beat. However, I wanted to provide a little insight that might help you out with some of the "bad beats" you've been taking. There is a fundamental flaw in the way you are playing your hand that top pros would NEVER make. Don't EVER push your chips when the only call that can be made is one that has you beat. Granted, the people playing those hands had no business being in the hand, but your play in my eyes was equally as bad. You made certain ...

Re(1): Bad play or bad beat?
After reading jsbyn and adam's discussion I removed the post do to confusion. Sry about the confusion. I recommend pulling each of your posts off, jsbyn the events aren't mutually exclusive as stated in your post (onus on my writing), they are independent, and Adam, probability of success in a sequence of independent events does nothing to explain the chance of failure, only adding to the confusion (again onus on my writing)... What I should have written is, mathematically you should lose one out of 5 hands when your best starting hand has an 80% win rate, therefore, your TOURNAMENT's failure ...

Re(1): bad lay down ???
The only question you need to answer at that point is; would you invest 4K to make 24K if you have a 30% chance of being right. Your expected value is 4.4K. This scenario is a LIMIT player's lifeblood.
