I pulled a daliman

[billyjex]

Well, ok, it was just TPTK, but I checked because I was scared of a flush (and maybe a tricky 9.) Who bets here?

Villian was sorta loose, sorta passive, your typical 5/10 38/11/1.4 donk.

[mperich]

I bet here 100% of the time. You would have heard about a 9 on the turn. He has a lower pair more often than a flush draw

-Mike

[Joe826]

apparently it's an epidemic.

what range of hands do you put your opponent on in order to justify checking behind? after you do the math this bet becomes very easy.

[PassiveCaller]

easy bet against a loose passive.

[billyjex]

i hate to be even more daliman like but I had a feeling he was pulling something on me, and I checked.

he showed 62 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif and scooped the pot.

But this really is a mandatory bet, I think I just talked myself out of it. my river aggression sucks.

[rory]

Come mista dali man
You must bet that riv-a

[Daliman]

I must admit, it is fairly thrilling to have a tendency named after me. Sure, it's mostly derisively and being done by people who wish they made 1/5th of what I do per hour, but you take the bad with the good.

Kinda similar on a smaller scale to people saying how bad Hellmuth sucks at poker, but he has been making a great living at it for almost 20 years.

Naw, it's all cool. Maybe this will be my legacy. Well, other than Dalibabies...

Actually, a better analogy would have been to say how people make fun of how "tight" Hellmuth seems to play, calling a tight fold "Hellmuthian", yet he's actually very loose in many ways.

[ravballz]

Knock, knock.

[StellarWind]

Think about how many times in his life this opponent has seen a TAG with the button go PFR-bet-bet-check with two overcards. Now look again at this straight-ridden, 3-flush board complete with paired nines and no aces or faces.

If he made a big hand he would probably bet. That doesn't come with a warranty, but nevertheless when he doesn't bet he probably didn't make a flush or straight.

Easy bet.

[GoblinMason (Craig)]

I really can't see not betting here against an opponent like this or against most players in general. If he called the turn there's a good chance he's going to showdown, and I don't think I lot of donks are tricky enough to play a 9 like this.

[wuarhg]

I bet 100%, sometimes I fold to a checkraise.

[/ QUOTE ]

1/5 of what you make per hour? Surely, Daliman, you jest. Also, my math is fuzzy, but when dividing by negatives, is it still negative? So if you average -$1000 an hour, would I be making -$200 an hour if I made 1/5 of what you did?

If you are doing this on a semi-consistent basis, I would tell you that you have a pretty big leak. These types of situations happen frequently and this is not even an ALL that threatening board. Hopefully the responses in this thread will push you to fire that last bullet. Btw, tt feels very rewarding when you pull a "scary" value bet.

Wow, you really did some digging around for that. Funny that I had to MAKE all that $$$ to lose it, and that represented a less than 1/3rd of what I had made in the previous 5 months, and less than 2/3rds of what I'd made in the previous month alone. Not to mention that I've since made a lot more, but hey, why let facts get in the way of a jab, right?

Anyways, I think, even given your misrepresentation of my post, that many would have a MUCH different view of me than a weak/tight loser after reading that.

Shows how idiotic you are if you want me to come play you in 200$ SnGs. You think I add to your edge? Please. But you could defeat 9 ZeeJustins at once, so what chance can I hope to have with just 1 of me.

How could you possibly be so cocky? Didn't you just go broke again a few months ago?

[Daliman]

And my winrate is?

[Daliman]

I don't really care to get in pissing matches anymore on here, but here I am again....

I don't know if you're GOOD for my winrate, but I assure you, I am worse for yours than you are for mine. With the logic you use throughout this thread, it amazes me you make $$$ at all, unless, of course, you are just being stupid for being stupid's sake.

You, as everyone else, are confusing the actual terms of the ZJ/collusion thread. Thats ok, it WAS confusing. Good to see yer such a fan of my work though.

I can be so "cocky" because I use FACTS, not parsing snippets from a poker career.

BTW, I have NEVER "been broke" in my professional career. I have "gotten broke" a few times, as do almost all pros, especially those that overplay their BR. Doyle Brunson has "gotten broke" hundreds of times over, and as of late march I believe was still down for the year. What a loser, huh?

This is all even more absurd given the fact that you know SO much about my past posting history, yet consider me a losing player...

[James282]

I don't consider you a losing player, but I definitely consider you an idiot. And I hear this nonsense about "almost every pro goes broke" so much that I almost believe it. I know several people who have been playing for a year or more and I think it would be physically impossible for any of them to go broke given the way they have managed their br and the size of their current br. As to what your hourly rate is, who knows? Who cares? You are an irresponsible crybaby who has gone broke twice in the last year, and yet you talk down to people in this forum about your overabundance in winrate like they should be happy with the scraps from your table. You also seem to calculate your winrate by ignoring your huge tilted losses - seems like one could build a pretty huge winrate that way! Unless you don't consider playing 1k SnG's on a 4k bankroll tilt, or playing with the last of your bankroll in an NL game against the best players in the world. And here's the thing - my not having gone broke ever doesn't make me a better person than you - but your self-perceived winrate doesn't make you any better than the people you berate for disagreeing with you on things where you are clearly wrong.

I don't know or care if you are a losing player, but when you post crap like "by people who wish they made 1/5th of what I do", you are definately a losing poster.

So, does this "self percived winrate" I have of over 16% in the 200's over 6000 trials mean that when I have a losing stretch, I must suck? The 16% INCLUDES all bad runs.

Yet another case of only using the information that helps you, and ignoring all others. You must be a Rush Limbaugh fan.

You don't believe many pros get broke? Ok, I guess they are all lying then, just like I am. The difference is I like to vent on message boards. Many have done TONS worse, and more than a few who are considered among the best in their game are almost continually broke, then can be rolling in $$$ a week later.

With regards to "talking down" to people in the forum, I made a single thread about a play that I make differently 80-90% of the time, and defend my thought process in it, and now I'm being utilized as the poster boy for weak-tight play.

Also, yet ANOTHER fact you had incorrect,(maybe fallacies should be called "James282's", I didn't have "the last of my bankroll" in an NL game against the best players in the world; I had 9k of 23k in a game predominantly with Spirit rock and Tom Keller, and I had 14k of 31k in a game that had Deeb and Hoff in it, where Mr. Weak/tight raised(badly, I might add) $7k with significanly less than the nuts.

I'd still like to know where I am "clearly wrong" though.

But you are correct in one instance; I do overplay my BR, and take a few too many shots. Given the rest of your commentary, this is cause for celebration.

ANother weakness of mine that is clearly surfacing again is suffering fools badly. And here I was doing so well with it....

Yeah, maybe that was a bit harsh, but when you get vilified by a board for a hand that you play differently 80-90% of the time, it can be pretty annoying.

But if you consider me a losing poster, the ignore function works just fine.

[turnipmonster]

nobody cares that you play it different 80-90% of the time. you posted a hand where you made a terrible river check, of course people are going to jump on you for it, with good reason. you should probably just learn from that instead of trying to be right all the time, which seems to be your primary goal.

[Chobohoya]

Dali, I know from your posts in other forums that you're a good player and poster. However, you seem to have a tendency to go on tilt-- not just at the tables, but on this board. Why would you even feel the need to brag about your winrate? You're not being vilified, someone's just having a little fun with a person they've never met, who made a bad play and got all worked up about it. There's no need to get into such an uproar over this.

Posting another 2+2er's screen name without their permission, especially a nice guy like Nick B's, is absolutely classless. Daliman, you suck.

Yet another case of someone posting when they don't know what the f they are talking about.

as per usual, I'll not expect an apology, retraction, or even an "oops, my bad".

[/ QUOTE ]

I apologize for accusing you of something you didn't do.

However, I maintain that you suck.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, better and worse than I expected, all in one post.

You, sir, are to be commended.

With the logic you use throughout this thread, it amazes me you make $$$ at all, unless, of course, you are just being stupid for being stupid's sake.

Funny, when I read your posts I think that the above applies to you, not James282.

I guess I just wish I made 1/5th of what you do per hour. Same goes for everyone that ever posts something contradictory to what you say. We're all just jealous.

[RunDownHouse]

I sincerely hope you don't instill in your children this compulsion to always have the last word. Your house, and anywhere you went, would be a nightmare.

FWIW, the only thing I (and I presume a large number of HUSH posters) am judging you on is the content/thoughtfulness of your posts here. It sucks and only seems to get worse.

[Ulysses]

Pray tell, how did the boggle thread change your opinion of me?

As for you, you constantly and consistently come across as an insecure, overly defensive person with very low self-esteem. That may or may not be an accurate representation of you, but that is how you often come off on 2+2.

The logic you display in a lot of your posts is also often horribly flawed, which is probably largely the reason many people are dismissive of your poker skills. FWIW, based purely on the poker strategy posts I've read by you, I don't think you are very good at poker, but it wouldn't surprise me if you're good enough to make money on Party Poker.

[SomethingClever]

Y'know, I don't know much about you, but you are one defensive sumbitch.

You're out of the circle of trust.

Because I used to think of you as a highly respectable poster. It made me think you are the type of person who will cheat someone out of money by using some BS wrinkle that like " no one said anything about not using a boggle computer". I didn't get through the whole thread, I obviously don't know the whole story, and there are many who share your viewpoint, including some of history's greatest gamblers. But what I got from it was you don't mind cheating, right or not.

Insecure? Not really. We all have a bit of it.
Overly defensive? Yep. Course, alot of of this in in the camp of "you know what your problem is? You're too defensive. Not alot you can say to that.
Low self-esteem? No, but I do tend to go as my game is going. surprise, surprise, it's not going so hot this month. Mind you, I'm not down, but I'm not getting my normal earn.
Yes, I'm familiar with the fact that I come off that way at times. I let people in on my thoughts too often, and I'm loath to back down from an insult. I guess I'm the poor man's 2=2 Eminem in that respect.

As far as the strategy posts I've made that are "horribly flawed", again, as I said in the other thread; too many make mountains out of molehill mistakes. The AK thread is a molehill mistake at most, and my point throughout was trying to show people that the difference between my standard line of play there and betting 100% of the time is small enough to be insignificant. If I made that play every time, it would be horrible. I don't so it's not. The collusion thread was one misunderstanding piled on top of another, by all parties, myself included, mostly predicated upon me going off the fact that ZJ would play all his hands as if he didn't know the others, which was a slight misinterpretation of what he said. Other "horrible" mistakes? Probably a few, but I'm not afriad to make mistakes or controversial posts. I don't know many poeple who hold opinions they think are false, either. Maybe I'm not very good, but, yes, I do make money on PP. My Limit and SH game used to be a lot better, but I only play it recreationally now, and as I say in my profile, I may even be a fish in them anymore vs good SH players.

Or you could use some context and common sense and realize the whole thing was a big joke.

As for all the rest of the comments, they are largely based on the fact that you seem to have such a problem saying "wow, I guess I was wrong" on most any issue.

This is exemplified by your statement here "The AK thread is a molehill mistake at most." Doesn't matter what anyone says, you know you're right. Good for you, I guess. I think a change in attitude, though, would probably decrease the frequency at which you go bust.

As I said in my previous post. I didn't read the whole thing, and I didn't know near the whole story. If it was a joke, you and others went a long way towards making it seem real. Nice little "war of the worlds" you ran then, but just shows you how erceptions can be skewed.

Also, I have admitted when I was wrong in SEVERAL instances, including in this thread.

Do you ever step back and reflect on why it might be that so many people think of you as a complete tool?

[/ QUOTE ]

Nah, not really. People who actually know me think I'm a great guy. People who only know me by posts on 2+2 often see the worst of me. Posts on here have a polarizing effect on one's image in general. For instance, my opinion, and many other's from what I saw, was drastically changed about you in the boggle thread. But I'd venture you and I would get along just fine in person.

People have been talking a lot about how these forums have been going to crap because of the influx of new crappy players and yet I see M/H forum and now this which is just nonsense because of big time posters getting caught up in their egos and all the money they make. I would expect the more advanced players on this forum to be bigger than that. Us lesser players look to you for advice, not crappy flame wars on their BB/100
