new outlook on poker

I don't like the tone of this thread and the direction it's headed in.

Come on now boys, don't bicker.

I think it's time this forum has some referees as well as moderators.

That way, say Brian says "TP you are a dick", we can change that to "TP you are the best man".

I nominate Pshabi and I, we can be called the "love cats"

Wait wait... first the WPO, and now LOVE CATS?

You're an interesting man, Geoff.

I suppose I am.

It's not everyday someone gives you access to a poker account

Edited to Add: it's actually PWO, get it right

Go ahead and play MTTs Brian. Hell they are alot of fun. Lots of variance though. I have been placing well lately too. Played two MTTs and finished in the money: 6th and 68th. Not too shabby.

However you are going to have long spans of probably not finishing at all. Just the way they are. You need luck and skill both. Wish you the best though. Id keep playing some ring games. I have 250 in my roll now, and I am playing cash games to supplement a weekly 20/2 MTT and playing freerolls. Its alot of fun.

LOL. What?

Something that's a nice compromise between the big MTTs and the SnGs are the 3-table tournaments at Party. I've probably played in only 4 or 5 of them and have a 1st and a 3rd.

GeoffM · #8 06-01-05, 05:39 PM

Agreed.

You might win 2-3 in a row and then go 6 months without winning. It can be very hard.

Well all this tournament talk made me wanna play some. So I did, just some cheap buy in SnGs. A 20 buck tourny, and a 30 buck tourny. I won em both

(there are some pretty bad players there, and a few good ones)
Net winning was 68 bucks on the 20 tourny, and 102 on the 30. Went fairly quick though, finished the first in 50 minutes, the second in a little over an hour.......plus I absolutely LOVE the HU experience. Normally online is mostly cash games, and home games are all tournaments -- but Ive been incorperating a few tournies as of late, some MTT some SnG

I can't reply to this right now, so I'll put it quick:

For the most part, MTTs are -EV for most players. Placing deep (not just placing ITM) is very hard to do, so I don't see much variance at all. When talking about MTTs, people should talk less about variance and more about ROI, or, return on investment.
