$300?? NICE

ex_matt didnt see that previous edit my stars name is kleath

Well your sharkscope profit is impressive.

whats your average sng buy in?

Mine was in better shape until stars introduced those $60 turboā€™s that kinda sunk my profit.

Just moved to the 60s, they arent really any tougher than the 27s but they take longer to fill.

Was playing 16s and 6s for a while cause I cashed out a lot and the 6s are sooo ridiculously easy, oddly enough 16s are probably slightly harder than the 60s cause there are a lot more good regs that chill down there.

Quick question: just tryen to get a general consensus " if thats how you spell it "

How do yall feel about K/7,8,9 suited, from the big blind? 6 handed?

Usually trash but tons of factors honestly, stack sizes reads on opponent your image etc. Default is just dump them though, oop sucks with a reverse implied odds type hand

am I the only one that plays free tables only on pokerstars? is there a way to do a free srk only table?

uhhā€¦not to be a jerk but why on earth would you put yourself through the pain of grinding SNGs?

shortstacking is not scum. I dunno where you got that idea. Just because itā€™s annoying, doesnā€™t mean itā€™s not real poker. There are many profitable shortstackers, who are very good, and are no less skilled than others.

PS. I got dead last at TS today. Started at 10, busto by 10:08. ship itttttttttt

PPS. Sharkscope is lame.

Cash is more of a grind than low/mid limit sngs.

Im exaggerating about shortstackers but youā€™re missing the point, yes I know it can be profitable but the only way it is more profitable than playing full stack is if you arent very good, also if I play cash I dislike playing 15 or 20 bb stacks which is mostly preflop play, and shortstackers force effective stacks down. Im nowhere near alone in this opinion and several people have tried to get the min buyin raised significantly cause its a big problem in a lot of the limits.

Oh how is SS lame? Overrated tool sure, dont see how its lame though.

lol @ cash games being more of a grind than low limit SNGs. Soooo funny.

Pleaes donā€™t try to say that SNGs have just as much skill as shortstacking. Itā€™s so funny because you bash on shortstackers, yet at the end of every SNG, it turns out to be gasp, MOSTLY PREFLOP PLAY.

Sharkscope is lame because I have a bad ranking :slight_smile: I was just kidding, but I never use it because I donā€™t play SNGs. I just like seeing my graph tumble.

seems like you dont understand sngs, you really think learning ICM thoroughly is easier than shortstacking? Sngs are retardedly easy if you know wtf you are doing, but shortstacking isnt exactly complicated, and you just have to know how to play short no ICM related plays. As for what is more of a grind, meh I guess it depends on your definition of grind, you can use good br management and move from 6 sngs to 16s alot faster than 25NL to 50NL, but to each his own. Playing poker pro or semi pro is an utter grind no matter what your game.

oh and I just shipped over 700 in sngs in less than an hour GODLIKE, thats like tb17s lifetime sng profit:))) j/k <3

uhh, i have profit on sharkscope now? thatā€™s so not right.

Hey guys, first post in this thread, where do you play and is it profittable?
I play @ Vegas Poker 24/7 and see Poker replacing my p/t job. I also have a question about withdraws because I use epassporte. Could epassporte deposit money into my US bank account, online gambling being all illegal and everything. Thanx and hope to play against some of you.

^^ Similar questionā€¦

Iā€™ve played poker for a long time (local games), and I do well on the free tables at PartyPoker.comā€¦ I thought about making a deposit and playing some of the cheap tables and seeing how I fare (ya gotta crawl before you walk!), but always wondered how Iā€™d get my money OUTā€¦

Back when internet gambling was outlawed, I thought banks would block your attempts at deposit with the company? if I tried to deposit 100$ into my PartyPoker account w/ my bank card, would it get rejected?

What do you use to get around deposit/withdraw blocking? I saw a list of places to play on the first page of this threat - and PartyPoker seems to be somewhat popular on this siteā€¦ What about bodog? What about Full Tilt? Do those places suck?

PartyPoker doesnt even accept US customers anymore.

I can find ways around that i would thinkā€¦ I have family in Europe.

They check for US IP address and other stuff, I donā€™t think anyone has found a way around it because a lot more people would try to play party.

I used to play at pokerroom . Whatā€™s a good site to play at now?

Stars.

edit:

double shoot outs are the new crack.

Heads up sngā€™s are the new crack, so soft itā€™s unreal.
