No. Im only 22, and since i turned 21 ive actually never been to a place where gambling is legal.

1. You will probably have many god-awful days at poker.
2. No, because I was before you.

Do you need a big ego to become a winning poker player, or does becoming a winning poker player give you a big ego?

[donkbee]

How'd you do in the warmup on Sunday since you didn't answer my IM?

Do you need a big ego to become a winning poker player, or does becoming a winning poker player give you a big ego?

The following only doesn't apply if you are exactly Lukie.

I think that a big ego is extremely harmful to a poker player. I think that the best players have all gone through poker situations that were so horrible and humbling that they no longer have that ego. I think confidence is important though.

The best players exude a quiet confidence, but aren't egotistical really. Gabe would probably be an example of quiet confidence. If u ever watch the cardrunners video that muddywater, sbrugby, or stinger do, you'll notice they are a calm and humble presence.

I'd have to say that one of the biggest negative aspects of my poker game is my complete lack of confidence.

[Renton]

lol, what a setup. God threw in me stacking two people in the first 5 minutes as a clever ruse to throw off the fact that i would eventually bust out at the start of the second hour by a nut str8 vs flush followed immediately by a secondset vs topset.

In fact that whole session sunday, although it seemed like ordinary poker playing, it was really God raping my in the ass with his giant black godcock.

By the way, godcock is an awesome word, and you heard it from me first. No one has ever used the term 'godcock' until i did just now.

[Warpe]

Um...no. I've known a few women in my time, and they've all used that word.

1. Haven't had it yet. Sorry.
2. Wow this is tough. I can only give u a list really: Theory of Poker, HOH2, the BooostedJ video on cardrunners (the piece of shit one where u can't even see his cards on one of the tables, i think its free to download even if u aren't a member of cr), the master sticky in the SSNL forum on 2p2.
3. Hmm. It definitely gave me more drive to succeed. I couldn't really say how much more. I would have definitely gotten as far as i have regardless of the prop bet I think, because I had intended to make 10k anyway, and was chronicling it in my blog prior to the bet.
4. Ring.
5. I would be working in an office, doing something im not very passionate about (designing crappy ass cookie cutter retail buildings), making about $20 and hour plus "bennys").

[Lukie]

Renton, serious question:

After 4000 posts, a million (give or take) hands played, and quality discussion with the one and only Lukieplaya, how are you still not beating games seriously higher then .5/1, or whatever it is you're playing these days after your 200k hand losing stretch? oh, nvm.

I beat all games up to 2/4 that i have ever played.

Now, why I only beat these games for an extremely meager winrate, is anybody's guess.

I thought you beat 2/4 for a while, then lost at it for a while, then moved down a level or two because your bankroll was going down. For what we're discussing, the later hands you played would be more important then the earlier hands you played although they obviously mean the same for how much you made (lost?) in the game overall.

[zook]

1. Toughest FR opp(s) at FT?
2. Toughest leak to plug?

4. Wright, Kahn or Gehry?

Well, a huge downpoint to a low winrate is sick sick swings. However, im a long term winner in basically every game i have played, albeit a small one.

1. Indi_T, stylistic, full_tilting, daddy123 (he's a lag, i don't know if he's any good, but he runs like gangbusters vs me for some reason), can't think of anyone else right off, and these people i've listed aren't very tough.

2. Not folding weak made hands (two pair/trips/baby flushes/etc) to obvious strength.

3. Rant in e-minor.

4. Out of those three??? Wright. My favorite current architect is probably Renzo Piano (www.rpbw.com).

5. Probably triptaint.

1. Don't really have one. Basically I just want to carve out a decent profit. I'd like to eventually be a regular at 5/10. I'm not sure i'd ever want to play higher than that.

2. Wow, there are so many. I guess the most recent one was that bottom set fold that i posted a while back.

3. Ugh, so many again. First one that pops into my head would probably be Rebecca Romijn-Stamos.

4. Angelina Jolie??

4. Music is extremely bad for poker playing IMO.

Good to read this somewhere, I've always been under the superstition that I've played more marginal/bad cards listening to music.

[bigspenda73]

My mind wanders too much without music on

[donkbee]

music distracts me too much. i stop playing poker and start listening.

[zook]

It's the opposite for me, I always listen to music when I'm playing and it barely enters my consciousness. When I finish a session I usually want to listen to the same stuff again b/c I didn't really hear it the first time around.

1. During Christmas break, i went out drinking with my mom (like, as in we went to bars and played pool and stuff). My mom is pretty young (only 40), and guys were hitting on her and stuff. It was pretty cool, because it just shows how my mother and I aren't on a typical mother/son level.

2. Absolutely no clue. I don't like making plans for life. All I know is that i'll have a degree in Architecture, and maybe be a licensed architect. Whether i'll actually practice is anybody's guess. As far as "where," I'd like be somewhere different than Atlanta by then

3. Not a clue.

4. I've been spending a lot of time at school lately (just had a huge presentation yesterday) so lets talk about this guy that sits next to me in my studio class.

By the way, a quick explanation of architecture school. You have to take 5+ years of a "studio" lab course. In this course you basically do projects that you are given 1 month to an entire semester to do, depending on the project. Each student gets a cubicle in this studio room, and the studio is open 24/7.

The reason i went through that explanation is because it helps to know how huge of an amount of time I have to spend with my classmates. This one guy in my class who sits nearby is the person I would kill.

Its not really him specifically I would kill, just his type of person. I call this type of person the "pseudo-intellectual prick". It isn't that he's stupid, he's semi-smart. Its that he's completely full of shit. I'd rather be a complete retard than be full of shit. I think being retarded would be more virtuous. Guy takes up all the professors time in studio class asking all these dumbass fucking rhetorical questions about the project, question he already knows the answer to, but he wants the professor to know how intellectual and interested he is.

Plus the guy is a prick.

[Renton]

1. What is easier, full ring or SH?
2. How much money have u spent on online poker.
3. Which FTR poster has the greatest potential to move up quickly?

1. Full ring. This isn't even close. There may be more money in six max, but theres easy money in full ring. When you play full ring, its almost always a clear decision one way or the other if you use common sense. In six max its always 'well you could go either way' decisions, and you need reads a ton more.

2. I don't really understand the question. I assume you mean how much have i spent on like monitors and stuff? I've bought a lot of books, payed for a cardrunners sub for a year, and three monitors. Not sure what that adds up to.

3. trainer_jyms. He's playing a shitload of hands lately, and thats seriously all it takes.
