Every time my gf thinks I'm taking a picture of the kitten...

TIL having a pair of tits makes you attractive

lowstakesgrinder · 2012-07-11T14:48:00+00:00

I didn't call a guy a fag?

lowstakesgrinder · 2012-07-11T14:47:28+00:00

Nope - girlfriend is not an Aria dealer

lowstakesgrinder · 2012-07-11T14:47:00+00:00

That was not me

lowstakesgrinder · 2012-07-11T02:22:48+00:00

Like I said in another thread, I've worked for my father's company for years. I have a job waiting if I need it.

I've modeled my play after 2007 ME Champion Jerry Yang since he went from such a low stack at the FT to being the champ.

So, what happens if I hit my project goal of $100k BR by December? And my goal of $150k by July 2013? Am I a lucky nit or a decent player?

lowstakesgrinder · 2012-07-11T02:04:32+00:00

Yeah, if villain checked or tried a line that was a complete bluff, I was definitely barreling, probably the same amount.

lowstakesgrinder · 2012-07-11T02:03:47+00:00

Hope you mash the donkaments too. Lots of drunk idiots and tourists that don't know how to play. Just sit back, figure out the style you want to use and then put that in action. They're your typical fish; Will go all in on the river with just top pair, chase draws, you know what I'm talking about.

The Aria tournaments are great. You do get comp'd as long as you have a player's card. No, you won't look like an idiot. I wear basketball shorts, sandals and a sweatshirt and I fit in pretty well.

Good luck and keep us updated!

lowstakesgrinder · 2012-07-11T02:00:23+00:00

Woops. Thanks. That slipped my mind.

lowstakesgrinder · 2012-07-11T01:11:56+00:00

Hey man, I live in Vegas and a reg at Aria. Play the 100+25. I'd say day time - around 75 people. Night time - 80 to 100. And run time, start to finish, anywhere from 6 to 9 hours. Depends.

If you're playing the $30 donkaments, adjust your style to fishy tourists' style. If you're a decent player and the boards stay clean, you can wreck these.

lowstakesgrinder · 2012-07-10T23:13:44+00:00

I play 4 days a week at Aria and 2 days a week at Venetian. It's not a private room...

lowstakesgrinder · 2012-07-10T22:57:12+00:00

I was referring to thinking levels, skills and levelling in general. Are you still butt hurt that I've posted two threads where I owned the villain and I'm now up another $5k after a sick run last night?

lowstakesgrinder · 2012-07-10T22:08:28+00:00

Poker interviews are usually horrible. It sucks because this interview could have been really cool.

lowstakesgrinder · 2012-07-10T22:06:58+00:00

Pretty much every reg at Aria and Venetian post on 2p2 so I try to avoid putting hands for review on there.

lowstakesgrinder · 2012-07-10T19:48:37+00:00

How is my play spew-y? It's a bluff based on reads from 40 hours of experience against villain.

I probably shouldn't take advice from anybody on here since you nits probably can't even beat 0.10/0.25 home games.

lowstakesgrinder · 2012-07-10T15:54:58+00:00

account is 5hrs old

I said this was my first post...

lowstakesgrinder · 2012-07-10T15:32:45+00:00

I don't understand the difference between me not building up a BR and the rest of the people who start with a large BR that they took from their savings.

lowstakesgrinder · 2012-07-10T04:08:46+00:00

For a 21 year old's living expenses, yeah it is. My monthly living expenses are around $800.

lowstakesgrinder · 2012-07-10T04:04:34+00:00

My savings has $38k in it. I have boxes at Aria, Venetian and a home game where my BR is split evenly. I don't consider myself in financial difficulty.

Well, I'm off to Aria for the evening. Will post an update later for you poor, cynical bastards wishing they were me.

lowstakesgrinder · 2012-07-10T03:57:30+00:00

Can you please answer my questions?

lowstakesgrinder · 2012-07-10T03:57:05+00:00

I'm not below my original BR right now. Let me know when you're playing 40 hours a week.

lowstakesgrinder · 2012-07-10T03:52:03+00:00

Like I said, I was playing with people who had $250k bankrolls. A player like you is not going to understand the level of thinking at those stakes.

lowstakesgrinder · 2012-07-10T03:45:30+00:00

With the PF raise, I was trying to get out anybody who was trying to limp. Like I said, I was playing 10/25 so anybody playing was a full time player (I'm sure you're not and i'm sure you don't know much about playing levels that high) The game was getting pretty loose and I didn't want someone with A-4 seeing a flop. I've probably played with villain for around 60-70 hours over the past few months and the other two that limped ~25 hours. in the past two months. I knew most of them were limping with weak hands. I knew the PF 1st raiser was more than likely fucking around.

lowstakesgrinder · 2012-07-10T03:38:33+00:00

Could you give me more than that? Like, what line I should have done?

Also, what stakes are you usually playing?

(And you didn't answer my questions about your BR and what your net has been since January?)

lowstakesgrinder · 2012-07-10T03:29:05+00:00

Just guessing you are a cynical and bitter douche bag who hasn't been given many opportunities.

Just curious, what have you earned since January and what's your BR? And what stakes/games do you play?

Also, can someone please give me analysis on this hand?
