95% is unattainable provided you're not playing with people are all in on the first hand with 84o.

[/ QUOTE ]Don't worry; if they went all in with 84o you STILL wouldn't be 95% to place. Hell, you wouldn't be 95% to win THAT hand, and if you did double up, that doesn't guarantee you'll make the money.

I, too, take issue with your 95% claim.

Re: wondering how good i can play?
 

This is OBVIOUSLY VERY POSSIBLE. I play with the same group of guys on a regular basis for a little better than a year now. I have placed ITM in this game 100% of the time, yes you read that correct. I am NOT bragging, okay just a little, but it is very possible. I can even say I have NOT come in first place at the most 5-6 times. [ QUOTE ]

You've finished in the top 10-20% of all players 95% of the time? You'll forgive me if I don't believe you?

We have been playing a weekly NLHE tour. for 2 years now. it is usually 15 to 20 players every week.i think that there are at least 5 to 6 good players playing.We have a 100 dollar buy in and pay 3 places. I have finished in the top 3 everytime except about 5% of the time.I have been to horse and won a couple of super satellites. but i am jiust nervous about moving up to 1000 to 2000 buyin tour.i think i am a decent player.any thoughts please on making th jump to higher buyins thanks.

I normally hate negative posting, but GOD DAMN! IF YOUR GONNA LIE, MAKE IT A GOOD LIE! A 100 nlhe tour (where)? 95% of the time u cash LOL!!!! NOT POSIBLE!!! [censored] 50% is almost unthinkable! Are you playing against monkey's? F*ck even a Monkey is gonna out draw you once and a while.

Yea enter the fictional 1,000 tourts. Tells us about how you have 20 straight cashes in those next!

On a serious note, If this isn't just some incredible waste of all our time and a serious post, learn to take accurate statistics (or any statistics for that matter). Cause you'll learn that 95% cash rate is just not possible. And you’ll learn a lot move about the game.

Actually mathematically its not. But what’s math right?

You’ll almost never get your chips in as a 95% favorite, and especially not over and over through out a year in a 20 person tourt! Your gonna have heads up pots 60/40, 65/35, 50/50, and against multiple opponents and big draws, ITS NOT POSSIBLE! Your gonna have QQ run into AA, and Your gonna have your big pockets sucked out on by smaller ones, or a live over card. There not run of cards this good! ITS NOT POSSIBLE ABSOULETLY NOT!

And Yes anything is “OBVIOUSLY POSSIBLE“, But in this case, it is DAMN NEAR AS CLOSE TO IMPOSSIBLE AS YOU CAN GET!

Same here. I play with the same 20+ guys regularly and am almost always in the money (80% or so). It's gotten a little less as we all have improved, but being in the money a majority of the time is defintely possible *with the same people*. You get to know very well how they play, and they think they know how you play.

Example, one week I was bluffing like a mad man and occasionally showing my cards. Next week I had cards up the wazoo and kept getting called "because he bluffs all the time..."

Your all watching to much TV Poker!

Im not having this talk unless one of you actually look at the figures your throwing around. Theres no way any tell, read, or cards run could give you an edge to the percent you guys are talking.
