5 Figure Month Homie....

[Zybomb]

Although I've come close on several occassions this is my First Ever.

Ship It! Lets go 2008

[Wes]

Congrats though.

Nice Zy... better than any month "working", eh?

[melioris]

[New Guy]

Word up!! I cant must a 4 dig month I sux

[Talking Poker]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

If you spent HALF time time you waste playing live playing online, you'd have five figure months EVERY month.

or this

[CalifNaughti]

Right on Zybomb!! I wish I could have a 5 figure month! Someday oneday. Do you ever play the 100k games on Stars?

[CalifNaughti]

Hey Reel
Im calling SPCA on ya for beating that dead horse!!

[Reel Deal]

Can you technically be cruel to something that's already dead?

[Talking Poker]

Only if you have sex with it.



What? I'm being serious. That's the law.

[Mr Eaton]

Yeah I saw it in Fletch.
Nice job Z.


I had a slightly above even month. If not for the last week I would have been up a bit. I was running SOOOO bad that I was actuality dealt a red 6 from a UNO deck.

[Zybomb]

Im short of 5 figures for this month by $430. I normally don't play fridays but Im tempted to put a session in (especially because Ive been running fire this week 5 for 5) to top that 5 figures for the 2nd consecutive month but im not sure -- either way lets do itttttt!!

[Daomonk]

damn nice job zybomb

Keep up the goot work

[CalifNaughti]

I was wondering where you play at? Do you play exclusivly on one site like Stars or do you also play on FT? What are your average buyins? Fantastic job your doing!

[Talking Poker]

Zy plays live.

If he played online, he'd have 5 figure weeks, but I guess it's too much trouble for him to sit at a computer in his underwear... he'd much rather play 10 times less hands per hour and triple rake at clubs where he risks being arrented or shot and killed.

[Zybomb]

And has to tip

Edit: not arrested though, the players arent doing anything wrong, only dealers and floor are subject to arrest

Edit 2: Oh yea and I get gifts of QQ baby raising preflop then 3 betting a T96 board after I raise him, then firing the turn (2) and shoving the river (9). Hello $2200 pot

[Zybomb]

To further cover this. I have $$ on both Tilt and Stars and play a bit -- mostly 6 max 2/4 NL Cash games, sometimes I'll get more into it than other months, but as TP mentioned the majority of my play comes live. I normally play in 10 Max 2/5 NL, 5/5 NL and 5/10 NL games. All of these games play larger live than they would online. 2/5 is a $1000 max buy, 5/5 is a $1500 max buy and 5/10 is a $3000 max buy. I normally buy in for $1000 at the 2/5 and 5/5 games and $1500-$2000 at the 5/10 games depending on the $$ on the table. Standard raises range from from $20-$40 in the 2/5 games $30-$50 in the 5/5 games and $40-$70 in the 5/10 game just to give you an idea. Straddling, Restraddling, Sleepers,etc are common and lots of people are just gambling

[drewjax]

can you please esplain???

ima noob...obv..

[Zybomb]

Sleepers are blind bets made with an option from anywhere besides under the gun. If all players fold before you, your sleeper becomes "live" and it is treated like a straddle. If anyone calls or raises before the action gets to you, you take your sleeper back and it is treated as if nothing happened. For example if you are in 4th position you can put a sleeper of $10 out. If positions 1-3 all fold then your sleeper is treated as a normal straddle (you get an option at the end). If players 1-3 call or raise, you take your $10 back and all proceeds as normal. Normally a sleeper is placed by an opponent UTG +1 that way if UTG folds the straddle is on -- if you do it in 4th or 5th it becomes stupid because of the high liklihood of one fo the players b4 you calling or raising anyway
