LOOOL check this:

So I came back to Poker on december with the motivation to go pro. How you ask? By playing spin and go’s on stars because they’re super soft. I managed to find a stable and I get a lot of coaching which helped me improve a shit ton. However, the variance on these fucking games are about to drive me insane. 5000 tournaments later and now my motivation is just trash, especially with fucking Amaya getting rid of rake back soon.

Maybe I should’ve learned PLO instead.

High variance, should’ve switched to PLO?

Try O8.

I have to admit I don’t know too much about variance in PLO but in spins you can have 100-200BI downswing like its nothing.

AF5 for 2017 had 2625 entrants. Beginning the pools tomorrow it will start with 512 players. The WSOP Main Event 2017 starts with less than 335 entrants tomorrow. Funny how both events are taking place this weekend.

Supposedly there’s no November 9 this year or something. So, the Main Event will end 1 day after EVO Finals

Should Magic the Gathering, poker, and chess be classified as esports? I mean people view them as video games essentially…

cross post

What do you guys/gals think about a triple tournament in one event?

  1. Magic: The Gathering - Standard

  2. Chess - Classical

  3. Poker - NLHE

Also, can we combine this thread with this other thread:

Hey guys I play Spin and Go’s professionally and actually manage a stable. Would any of you guys be interested?

Spin and Go’s?

Yeah 3 man hyper stt’s on PokerStars.
