Poker Strategy / What to do?

are you seriously that thick headed or do you just like to post a lot so you can sell shares at 60% premium despite an expected return of -50%?

As you stated I just started playing online for real money. The ultimate bet scandal was national mainstream news. I am not an ignorant person. I watch the news. I was aware of an online cheating scandal. Before depositing real money I wanted to do some research. In an era when national investment firms are collapsing Madhof's exist call me paranoid or better yet a scammer for wanting to know where I was sending my money. I found the story quite interesting and read some more just out of curiousity. God forbid I remember what I read a couple weeks ago.

I picked a singe online room - Pokerstars - after googling around and finding a general consensus that it's VIP program was greater than Full Tilts rakeback.

Is that clear enough for you or do you just attempt to discredit every new member who fails feed your degenerate gambling habit? At some point you should probably reevaluate and reconsider how much of other peoples money you are willing to lose before you are honest not with others but with yourself.

Poker Strategy / What to do?

correction: I was wrong.

MSNBC reported on it with a nice little picture.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21381022/

geeeeeez I must be some crazy made up account. I research poker sites before giving them my money and practiced some before playing online. nobody does that.

your right kya that must be why you are so good at this game.

It's not like anyone who spends 30 seconds on google can find national media outlets reporting on the UB scandal and potriper

Below is a very poorly formatted copy/paste of my limit MTT events from sharkscope. The filters are; game = hold em, limit = fixed limit, type = scheduled (mtt).

Getting Started on ChipMeUp / what have I done wrong?

Maybe it's the customs? I had a stupid-sick week with over 100% ROI in $13 and $16 sit and goes, enough to get 2nd on the Battle of the planets leaderboard. So I made some customs for those exact same sit and goes.

Ended up canceling events as I didn't sell a SINGLE share.

Do custom sit and goes just not sell on CMU?

Poker Strategy / What to do?

what he had is not the point unless your screenname is potripper.

that is the easiest snappiest call, usually AK, or TT-JJ and villain is pooping his pants about seeing a flop.

ChipMeUp talk / I'm the Second Best Player on Earth

that's overall ROI. I took some high-priced big field MTT shots and missed.

Also pokerprolabs has a retarded like 3 day delay sometimes

ChipMeUp talk / I'm the Second Best Player on Earth

ummm...OPR shows me as having ~60% ROI in sit and goes, hardly 'bad'

Sharkscope if you have a subscription and can do advanced searches. do a search for SnG's that count for Battle of the planet: 6-27 players, no satelites. that shows me with a 92% ROI in these.

IDK about you, but I always figured 60-90% ROI not to be "so bad". Do you?

ChipMeUp talk / I'm the Second Best Player on Earth

@soui21, based on what? Not being defensive, honestly curious why you believe that.

Last week the top score was 565 and 10th was only 459. keep in mind this is the *Earth* division, you may have looked at the wrong leaderboard.

In anycase, that's why I set up the events, to run more SnG's and improve my score :)

@CMSmith.

No offense (and I do appreciate you warning CMU members) but I just found your comment funny.

When I was deciding between sites I took one look at the PTP FAQs and insta-closed the tab. hehe

ChipMeUp talk / I'm the Second Best Player on Earth

It resets at midnight on saturday night (or starts at 12:01AM sunday morning)

http://www.pokerstars.com/poker/promotions/battle/ is the summary page (although starting next week, of course after my big score, the prizes will be doubled for a special promotion).

http://www.pokerstars.com/poker/promotions/battle/earth/ This is the level I'm playing in and will most likely get second in the low orbit (20 game set) without improving current score and have a good start on the high orbit (100 game set)
