what\'s the password - to see if there are other 2+2 at your game?
I might have to read here a bit more to get the inside lingo, but how do you find out if there are other 2+2'ers at your table? It sounds kinda odd to say, so anyone here from 2+2? I was playing in a tournament and then $1/$2 NL in the city tonight (nyc) - was anyone there? There's a regular named "Vegas" that showed up with his girlfriend in case anyone was playing with me. I guess I could just make small talk and say yeah that hand was a no brainer, like 2+2, or some other blunt statement.
That's all I am saying - No PM's - I will not respond, so please do not ask me any questions. |

Re: what\'s the password - to see if there are other 2+2 at your game?
i don't believe i get to answer first! there are two commonly accepted ways of determining if there are other 2+2ers at the table- first is to make a refrence to "brown trout"- sometimes in a sentance like "is the brown trout any good here?" etc... the other is to say "'sup bro?" to the player you suspect is a forum menmber. both tend to backfire, but it's better than shouting out: "i'm a 2+2er, anyone else here post there too?"
though, i usually can see it in a person's play, and i like to ask them privatly if they're a member. GL to you |

Generally, I think if you don't know the question, you shouldn't ask it. Having an account's not such a big deal. I mean, don't go overboard with the secret-handshake mumbo-jumbo. If I see somebody play tight, aggressive, smart poker, I might say something like "Hey, TeddyBGK, do you know a guy named BisonBison? He's an internet celebrity around here."
Once, after they said 'no', a guy who had just sat down said "Sure. The bison is cousins with the grizzly bear and the brown trout. But that's enough talk of animals." Very classy. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] -Sam |

Well, OK then. I had to bust your balls a little tho. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Seriously, I usually just ask them if they're a poster on the forum. If they are, it's real obvious right away. If they aren't, it's also obvious. If they aren't, and they ask "what's that?" I tell them "the wife-swappers forum." That usually ends it real quick. al |

Re: what\'s the password - to see if there are other 2+2 at your game?
As soon as I enter a pokerroom, I usually just shout at the top of my lungs: "Does anyone here post on that poker site for good players twoplustwo.com? I repeat-is there anyone among this sea of idiot fish who posts on two-the number spelled out-plustwo.com?"
Seriously though I don't even worry about it unless someone approaches me about it. But I suppose if I were actively looking for other twoplustwoers I would just wait to see a player's demeanor/playing style and probably find a way to work "sup bro?" into a casual conversation. |
