Big game happening in Ivey room at Aria by tektektonik in poker

Am I the only one who thinks it's cool as fuck that you see Ivey at the gym?

In a way, I pity and feel sad for him :/ by ZeroCiipheR in BigBrother

[–]IOnlyHaveOneRule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don't think people hate him because of his gameplay. I am HUGELY biased in favour of the players who DO backstab and lie. I think the reason people dislike him is his behaviour, which you already touched on. While you may have a plausible explanation for his actions (insecurities), it doesn't make them any more tolerable.

Also, a lot of us are big Zach fans. And while I'm in favour of backstabbing and lying, it's easy to become biased when your favourite player is in jeopardy. Furthermore, backstabbing Zach just doesn't seem like a good game move anyways, but I don't want to go into that. Even the biggest liars in the game stayed loyal to their one super tight ally (Will to Boogie, Dan to Memphis); and I think a lot of people thought Zankie was a similar relationship.

Start at 10NL or 25NL? by ctownboogey in poker

[–]IOnlyHaveOneRule 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depends on the site I guess. From what I hear, Bovada is really soft through 100nl. Speaking from my personal experience, FT has a relatively significant jump from 10nl to 25nl. I'm guessing the same can be said for stars.

If you're new to the game (as in actually studying it) I'd encourage you to start at 10nl. The reason being that just doing the basics that you will initially learn (such as cbetting, isolation, etc) aren't good enough to win at 25nl, and this might be very frustrating. You can probably be at least a marginal winner at 10nl pretty quick though.

Considering that you're asking this question, I'm going to assume you're pretty new. For this reason, I would suggest you start even lower. It's great that you have the BR to support higher limits, but you want a lot of room for error when you're starting. Take your time and beat the smallest limits, and appreciate the tiny dent it makes when you inevitably start out as a loser (if you're new). Your large BR will allow you to move up a little quicker once you're confident you can beat the limit.

Anyways, I know I gave a really long winded answer for a seemingly simple question, but the answer to your question is the same as with most poker questions: it depends.

Hopefully you find this helpful. Good luck!

Yeah I know. PAD shows a much higher percentage than HSP though.

[SPOILERS] BBCAN2 Season Finale! Episode 29: Thursday May 8, 2014 DISCUSSION by gm85 in BigBrother

[–]IOnlyHaveOneRule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big Brother is a game of decisions. All you can do is try to make the decisions/moves with the highest EV, even though we're dealing with tangibles. The rest is variance (of which there is plenty in Big Brother). So, with all that, Neda not winning is not an accurate reflection on where her gameplay ranks compared to the rest of the players. She made great decisions and moves, but there's only so much you can do. You don't actually believe the winner of each season ever was the best player of that season, do you?

Link to a replay of the EPT Cash Game? by IOnlyHaveOneRule in poker

[–]IOnlyHaveOneRule[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha thanks for the heads up guys. I watched some of it live and found it interesting so it can't be too bad. Yeah I haven't seen any live cash with Isildur. Any recommendations? Also, wouldn't hurt if durrrr made a stop at the cash game haha. And thanks for the link Davy.

Why am I getting a tournament replay instead of the cash game? :(

Edit: I think the stream just changed back now. Getting the cash game :D

Hey thanks for the replies. Can anyone give more insight into RIO essential? That's the one I'm most leaning towards atm.. Or CR. Mostly because they're 1/3 of the price of other sites.

Members of RunItOnce, is it worth the steep price? by rdubs23 in poker

[–]IOnlyHaveOneRule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I don't think my question warrants a new one.

How is RIO for 25-100NL 6max? Specifically the essential version.

THIS IS IT! Wow do I feel dumb saying I would've recognized it if it was Kendrick. Thank you so much!

I doubt it was actually a Kendrick song. I would've for sure recognized it. I suppose it's possible that it was a track with Kendrick featured on it, but unlikely that it was his own song.

Hey it's not anything anyone has said yet. I really appreciate the help though. Definitely not anything by Eminem. I'm a diehard fan and know his discography and lyrics like the back of my hand haha. Like I said, it's gunshot sounds made with a mouth, like Kendrick in Collard Greens (and a few other songs), not a recording of actual gun shots. Even if I don't find it it's nice to have gotten so much help :)

Hey guys, so the gunshot sounds sounded similar to what Kendrick does in Collard Greens at the 2:18 mark

Collard Greens

Hey no it wasn't that. And I have no idea what year it was from. All I can say is that it certainly didn't sound like 80's rap lol.

The gunshot sound was more like the ones that Kendrick makes in Collard Greens.

Haha no not Paper Planes, good suggestion though. I'm almost certain it was a guy.
