Don't take close gambles early, as your edge is greater late in SNG's.

Don;t worry about learning a multi-level count. A single level will do just fine, I recommend either the Hi-lo, which Professional BJ by Stanford Wong, or the KO count, by Olaf Vancura and Ken Fuchs. The main thing though, is to get a good act, so the casino can't tell you're counting.

I cannot help but laugh at this post. Am I supposed to be intimidated by you or something because I have less posts than you?

All I am saying is that if you want to show your friends some of your cool new electroincs, then show them. But I, and I am sure I am not alone on this, do not belive they should be posted on a public Single Table Tournament Forum.

If posts like this were moderated in the manner you are suggesting I would never post here again.

Don't read stuff you don't want to. If you happen to accidently read an off content post close it and remember all of the great things you learn from all of the people who are way better then you for free.

This is unfortunate that people make this type of post as I have made several VERY good friends here (dali is at the front of that list) and wouldnt give up their strategy posts for the world. That said, I would much rather see that they are all doing well and happy, as that may be the most important thing in this world.

ouch.. you're right. my datafile only had venetian, bellagio, mirage, palms, luxor, nyny, san remo, and stardust with dd, s17, doa, resplit except aces, das.

lol..

but if you're betting $2k, why not goto caesars?

same as above, plus late surrender = -.14%

unless caesars no longer offers it? (i dont play HIGH stakes so i have no idea how old this data is.)

My point was that you haven't been around long enough to be pissed about anything.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: There are probably more professionals on this forum than any other and for us, the social posts are the equivalent of a lunch break, water cooler gossip, and interoffice e-mail for those who have regular jobs.

I happen to agree with you, Bluetooth, but it's an issue of give and take. I am trying to minimize the random LC stuff without making people sad.

So I lock SFB's GMILF brag post. And I deleted his GMILF porn post. But I kept his poll around, and I kept this thread around.

I assure you, citanul and I are doing our jobs.

09-11-2005, 01:31 AM

Finally, someone who is reasonable.

Sometimes, I think to myself, "What is the forum coming to?".

With that, I thank you and the other moderators for doing such a great job with the forum, your work is much appreciated.

I actually don't care if the posts go off topic, and i think it's quite good to read posts on subjects other then SNGs (now and again anyway). What i do object to though, is the double standards from the moderators. The other day i posted something about giving up my job to play SNGs and going to college to study at the same time, and it got moved to the Holdem section (where the post was even more off topic!). Did my post get moved because i had <100 posts, and this guy who has over 4000 posts can write what he want?

All I can say is that I'm new here and I'm trying to get used to exactly what people want. I probably wouldn't move that thread if you made it again.

I moved it to that forum because there are a *lot* of going pro threads in that forum, so it's less off topic than you'd think.

their speakers aren't the greatest for sound reproduction, though they are decent, but they do make some of the best compact speakers in the world. their headphones as well are not terrible, though not as good as certain high end speakers.
