Improve thyself

I remember you writing about bum hunters in your other operation thread and seeing it first hand gave me a chuckle. When I sat out at my CAP table (usually because I had too many HU SnGs pop up), it was often enough to break the table since all the regs sat out too.

I say it made me laugh, but it's actually pretty sad.

It's extremely tilting because ill play sessions where I average 8-9 tables and I end up sitting at about 50 different ones - not even exaggerating, my tracking software shows this.

The constant turnover is tiring and has put me off from playing a lot, but I'm working on just accepting that it is what it is, and everyone else has to deal with it too. At least I'll always be in at least somewhat decent of a game since it won't even run if there isn't a fish seated. I wish something could at least be done about everyone sitting out when the fish just sits out for a break, but oh wells. No wonder poker is getting boring/depressing for me, I have to spend all my time scanning the damn lobby while yelling 'deal me in motherfucker!' at the screen.

Question for you: Are you still grinding donkaments online these days?

I assumed you meant a capped bet game... which I'd heard of on FT back in the old days. But more and more I'm not sure.

It's 20bb poker but stacks are capped at 20bb so no matter what you're sitting with every hand is capped at 20bb. It's still nlhe, just with short stacks. 20bbers used to rathole 100bb, now it's a whole different game with new dynamics. I think the full tilt game was 30bb cAP? (Never played it)
