people with a lot of posts who play micro-limit (little content)
 

I've noticed a few posters here with like a 1000 posts who play micro-limit. Just curious to know why. I can't imagine anyone with that amount of posts not being able to beat 5-10 or crush 3-6.

Are you seriously equating "# of posts" to "poker skill" ??

(Let alone "# of micro posts" ??)

Look in OOT for your answer.

My mommy told me I'm not allowed to play 3/6 till I have 1000 posts.

I was young and naive once too. Don't get sucked into that black hole.

What do you have to do to qualify for your posting card?

Re: people with a lot of posts who play micro-limit (little content)
 

A good point that you make.

Posting counts (not equivalent to skill) so don't follow that advice.

Re: people with a lot of posts who play micro-limit (little content)
 

I love when people use the term "crush"...as in, I was "crushing" the 1/2 game.

Not just beating...but CRUSHING. I don't know why I get a kick out of this, but I do. I feel like the poster is big German weightlifter who goes around crushing things and saying "I SHALL CRUSH YOU AND I SHALL CRUSH THE 3/6 PARTY POKER GAME." and then gives a low evil laugh, "HA HA HA"

Yeah ok I'll stop now. This is why they say you shouldn't post after you've been drinking.

I am sorry to have to inform you that your posting card has been suspended for seven days.

If you post again after drinking you will be forced to play sober for 30 days.

when i hit my 1000th post i don't think i could have beaten the 3/6 at party, but now i can, and at 2500 posts i still haven't played a single hand of 5/10 at party (i like the 3/6 [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img])...post count doesn't mean dick...

I think if you can't beat Party $3/6 with 1000 posts that's pretty pathetic, especially if you've been posting hand histories.

Hell I can beat Party $3/6 8-tables and I haven't even hit 100 posts yet.

Re: people with a lot of posts who play micro-limit (little content)
 

You say what you think and then state a fact of little to no correlation. Why do you believe that not being able to beat 3/6 after 1,000 posts is pathetic? If its because you are in that situation than your reasoning is faulty at best.

Some people just like to spam these forums with worthless crap (lets have conversations in a thread instead of talking on IM) thats why you find a lot of micro and SS people with thousands of posts.

Others just dont have time to play enough poker to be able to move up so they post at work.

Re: people with a lot of posts who play micro-limit (little content)
 

I spent my bankroll because I have other priorities.

Re: people with a lot of posts who play micro-limit (little content)
 

I moved out of micros, but I still have a lot of my posts there. I like to help people who aren't that good yet. Is that bad?

Re: people with a lot of posts who play micro-limit (little content)
 

Good question, especially since in order to post 1000 times, you have to pass a test.

People learn at different speeds. Some people are more social than others. Some people play strictly for money. Some people are more risk averse. Some people naturally have more or less confidence in themselves.

Re: people with a lot of posts who play micro-limit (little content)
 

I'm a slow learner and didn't break out of the 3/6 game until probably 4k-5k posts. And I didn't even swing by the OOT forum until recently.


Here's a thought:
If I had spent LESS time posting about how dumb Phil Hellmuth is or going on and on about crypto-bonuses or other worthless topics and had spent MORE time actually reading up HH's in the HUSH, SS and M/H forums I would be a MUCH better player now.
The fact that I have over 7k posts is the number 1 reason why I'm NOT as good a player as I would like to be.


Less talking...more listening.

The lurkers who read HH after HH and absorb the information but only have 100 posts are far more likely to be better players than the non-stop mouth-pieces like myself who get involved in threads about the TV show 'Tilt' or who the best and worst poker-announcers are.

Oh crap, now I will have to conserve my posts to stay under 100. Mike Sexton and Howard Lederer are the best announcers.

If you have <100 posts please do not waste a post replying. Replies from those with >1,000 posts welcome.

Re: people with a lot of posts who play micro-limit (little content)
 

Some people, like that Hack guy posted a billion hand history thread which isnt terrible, but then in each one he got in an argument with someone and would have at least 10 replies in each of his threads. The guy had a 1,000 posts in a few weeks and he only played .25/.50, they all were surprisingly in micro but just not worth reading. I lurk alot more than post on the other hand so I dont have nearly as many posts as people who are at the same level or people who registered the same time.

I wouldn't worry too much about it.
If you really think that Mike Sexton is one of the best announcers then you're beyond help anyway!!

Re: people with a lot of posts who play micro-limit (little content)
 

I still play 1/2. Most of my posts have been part of my learning to play. I starting posting while staill playing .02/.04, and build my BR from there.

So, could I beat the 3/6 game? I would like to think so yes. Do I have the BR for 3/6? Yes. I am just a pussy. I am really conservative with my roll -- probably too concervative, b/c I nursed that thing from when it was $50. I don't make a move up until I am 1000% sure I'm ready.

My own opinion is that the biggest mistake people make is moving up limits too fast. I would MUCH rather err on the side of caution.

But, more than anything to me I guess, it's about doing this well. Poker is a hobby for me, and part of the challenge for me is playing the right way. I am taking a long a slow road, but I like to think I am learning the game the right way, step by step, analyzing my mistakes, improving my game, and making sure all my big leaks are plugged by the time I move up to a game where such leaks can cost a lot more.

Basically, like I said above, I'm a pussy.

EDIT: I have never been to OOT -- but I do occasionally make silly or otherwise annoying/inapproraite posts in this, the zoo, or the micro forum that I (probably mistakenly) think are funny. But most of my posts are about poker.

I have over 2,000 posts, a bankroll for 5/10 6-max, and yet I play 1/2 6-max.

I'm risk averse.

Re: people with a lot of posts who play micro-limit (little content)
 

Word. I was playing 5/10 when I had zero posts. Now that I have 2800 or whatever posts I'm playing 2/4. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] Guess I'll be down at nickel dime when I get to TSC status. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

OP: If you can make 1 BB/100 at 5/10 or 4 BB/100 at 2/4 what are you gonna play?? 5/10 is rough dude.

What ever happened to that guy? Was he just a troll (and got banned) or did he leave on his own volition?

This thread now has 33 posts. Many of them from microlimiters. We've answered our own question, in a weird, circular, ironic kind of way.

the general definition equate means equals to. That is perfect correlation. Two things can be correlated and only have a weak correlation. Again, I would expect that people with more posts are generally better than people with few posts. Obviously this is not a fact, but there is definitely some correlation.

This seems really uncalled for. it's a simple question. I'm just curious. If people don't want to answer it, they don't have to.
