I don't like the tone of this thread and the direction it's headed in.

Come on now boys, don't bicker.

I think it's time this forum has some referees as well as moderators.

That way, say Brian says "TP you are a dick", we can change that to "TP you are the best man".

I nominate Pshabi and I, we can be called the "love cats"

Wait wait... first the WPO, and now LOVE CATS?

You're an interesting man, Geoff.

I suppose I am.

It's not everyday someone gives you access to a poker account

.

Edited to Add: it's actually PWO, get it right

Go ahead and play MTTs Brian. Hell they are alot of fun. Lots of variance though. I have been placing well lately too. Played two MTTs and finished in the money: 6th and 68th. Not too shabby.

However you are going to have long spans of probably not finishing at all. Just the way they are. You need luck and skill both. Wish you the best though. Id keep playing some ring games. I have 250 in my roll now, and I am playing cash games to supplement a weekly 20/2 MTT and playing freerolls. Its alot of fun.

LOL. What?

Reel Deal · #8 06-01-05, 04:37 PM

Something that's a nice compromise between the big MTTs and the SnGs are the 3-table tournaments at Party. I've probably played in only 4 or 5 of them and have a 1st and a 3rd.

You might win 2-3 in a row and then go 6 months without winning. It can be very hard.

Maybe what he's trying to say is that investing $200 / month into MTTs is a dangerous proposition. Maybe he's not. LOL. I personally think it is, unless you are good at MTTs... and from what I've seen and heard, you're just starting out.

At least you're sticking with low-buy-in games.

BrianSwa · #11 06-01-05, 04:14 PM

ya maybe he is but I seriously doubt that and doubt you believe that what he means either but anyway. Yea dont think $200/ month will do to good in the $100 buy in tornies. I will try it for this month and see how it does.

Or..... maybe TP realized no matter what people say, Brian is going to do exactly what Brian wants to do. He will post about it and even ask for advice now and then, but that's only to cause the drama that he lives for. I'll give him one thing though - he's damn good at that.

Sure, Brian says this:

But Brian doesn't actually mean it. Well, not if your comments are something besides 100% support of his post, that is.

For the record, I think MTTs are a lot of fun. I enjoy them very much, and I "spend" part of my cash game winnings entering big buy in tourneys now and then.

You can get a lot of poker in for your money playing low buy-in MTTs, and if you play in the large ones, you've got a crack at a huge payday if you go deep.
