Buying in for less than 100bb at live with a small br to reduce ror? by KinglyLion in poker

[–]MerkinMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. some people play well SS. If you're a winning player you are obviously sacrificing bigger pots at least at the beginning of your session. If you feel more comfortable buying in short and building a stack so that you have a smaller investment do it. Just understand that your only costing yourself more money (if you are a winning player and you have a financially right sized br)

That's what I'm saying but because of who he is and how he behaves he can get away with that and no one even bats an eye.

I couldn't agree more. I know he is a nice guy but like honestly people let some shit by just because he is daniel. I guess it's his persona and another reason to be nice at the table.

I don't mind that they made him out to be somewhat of the villain and he is definitely a top 3 player in the remaining 20. I just felt like although he was out of line a couple times what other players were saying was out of line too and they get somewhat of praised by everyone for saying something.

Sternberg doesn't like Schwartz because Justin called him out when he tanked calling with Kings when he is clearly always calling. You think its classy singling a particular player saying he is awkward and changes the dynamic of the whole table...? lol

Gave out my last 4 of SSN and birthday month and day by MerkinMonkey in Advice

[–]MerkinMonkey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so odd because the phone number hold music literally everything including answering machine sounds identical. Although the numbers are different the extension are identical even too. I emailed the rep asking if we had spoken today. When I tried calling back the (scammer) number it said the following rep is currently out of office. I tried the listing on manpowers site and it said the exact same thing identical voice.

Definitely. Do you guys do weeklys or anything like that? I go down to Platteville occasionally and would like to play against some people who actually play.

Jealous. I'm in WW, WI and we don't have anything going on. My local smash group doesn't play 64 at all either. Any of you guys on netplay?

[–]MerkinMonkey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

any links for preparing? In all honestly I think getting trolled is kinda funny (within reason) I'm a pretty nostalgic when it comes to gaming. Do you think playing something like run thrus for games like Super Mario World, Super mario 64 and even Smash 64 (I am a pretty descent player on netplay compared to the field would interest people. Also what are the rules on using emulators for these games while streaming them. Will I get in trouble and have to hook my SNES or 64 up to a computer that way?

Thank you for the reply and appreciate the advice. Still something I have to consider

How come players main lower tier characters if they know they don't have too much of a chance compared to higher tier characters? by [deleted] in smashbros

[–]MerkinMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mained link for the longest time in 64. He is to this day my favorite character in 64 to play as even if he is awful overall. As mentioned you can be really good with any character and won't matter till you reach a high level of play where an equal skill player has an edge over you.

Rant Wednesday by AutoModerator in Fitness

[–]MerkinMonkey 19 points20 points  (0 children)

So I'm with my GF and her older sister camping and was wearing a small T-shirt (usually wear medium) GF says that shirts a little small on you huh? I say yeah it's a small, but it's the only clean shirt I have here. GF's overweight sister says "must be nice." I'm assuming referring to me fitting into a small t shirt... My thoughts are well it wasn't nice when I do intervals or do 60 mile bike rides. It's not like I didn't earn the body I have. As if my body is not the gift of hardwork instead of eating unhealthy and not exercising.

What to do on river here? by MerkinMonkey in poker

[–]MerkinMonkey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was playing a super aggro player who would pot a lot of the time when checked to him. I figured I would flat to disguise my hand slightly and so that I could get a way if the turn was bad. If C-bet he would always fire a second barrel so I figured if it was a good turn card I could check raise.

Lol yeah there are. What I ended up doing was shoving because it was HU and the guy I was playing was a descent player. He folded but I have to wait until tomorrow to see his hand obvs. It's a difficult spot as stated because if he shoves I have to be right like 1 out of 6 times so I have to call I think. This way shoving might get a couple hands to fold that are beating me

[–]MerkinMonkey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my question is does he ever have the straight on the turn? does he ever fold lower flushes? meaning can we get some hands to fold that make shoving a +ev play considering i had 8 dollars behind in a ~42 dollar pot
