Default \"I have an 8.7/100 winrate at 3-6 and a 42.5/100 winrate at 2-4.\"

That's a quote from Michael Davis that you can find here.

He claims these numbers are based on a sample of more than 100k hands, so they are consistent. I asked him to simply post a screenshot and he has not yet done so. I think that if he really can make $125 per hour 4 tabling the Party 3-6 (240 hands an hour approximately), this would probably make him the greatest poker player of all time.

When you think about it, if he played 8 hours a day, only 5 days a week, 48 weeks a year he would make $240,000 a year! That's really astonishing! And don't even get me started on the 42.5 rate at 2-4, because at that rate he'd make a cool $816,000 a year. That's some serious moolah.

Anyways, I happen to think it's one of the funniest posts of all time and I thought I would share.

Classless.

EDIT-

Oops, I hope that I didn't just make it easier for people to take note of your name on Party.

How silly of me.

You did, but it's already been changed. Just got off the phone with support.

So your little stunt did nothing but show you to be a dick. Nice work.

Okay?

Actually, it was just another link to one of your numerous moronic posts. But then I noticed it could have another purpose.

By the way, since all of us on 2+2 suck, why wouldn't you want us knowing your name and trying to bust you?
Since you are better than all of us, why change your name?
You should welcome all the easy competition.

(NOTE)

Also, enjoy the time you've spent with this name on 2+2. With all the angry and abusive posts you've made today, I don't see how you'll be here in a few days. I've reported at least 4 of them myself.

Of course, you'll just sign up with a new name.
But we'll deal with that when the time comes.

PS-
I'm not pestering the mod because I can't argue with you.
I'm doing it because you are an abusive poster with the social skills of a retarded 6 year old.

I haven't abused anyone. None of my posts have been anything but argumentative, which, last time I checked, was allowed here.

You're pestering the mod because you disagree with me but you can't argue with me, so you've gone with the passive aggressive route and are trying to get me banned. I hope the mods see through your whining.

Do you really want me to post all the links?

I can do it, if you want.

Just links from the past hour and half will be good enough.

Here, let me start with one of the numerous abusive PMs you've sent me over the past hour.

Yes, they do, or you would not have responded.

I am a better poker player than you, that much is clear. That has to hurt, in and of itself.

But more than this, I've read your little profile, and I am not a fat [censored] nerd who plays with computers or chess games to pass the time between masturbating.

I have a great job, probably unlike you, and I have been laid in the last year (repeatedly, by many different women).

I can see why you'd hate me. I can see why you'd be the passive aggressive dickless wonder you are and try to get me banned.

But just remember, tomorrow you have to look in the mirror and face the shittiness of your own life, while I will be happily living mine.

Best wishes,
TM

DAMMIT COLA!!! I'm holding you personally responsible for not knowing when I'm talking to it in the future. I was actually getting used to it, because if I ever wanted to read a flame war, I could just browse for one of its posts...

When you think about it, if he played 8 hours a day, only 5 days a week, 48 weeks a year

40 hrs/wk of multitabling is not ONLY. That's a very big number to do long-term. After a year or so, you'd most likely experience some burnout.

I do think an extremely good player who is able to crush mid-limit games could 4-table 3/6 with very, very little mental effort, but for someone who is actually playing 3/6, that would be quite a feat to do for over a year.

Wow, I do 40 hours a week on the side of a highly stressful job. Doesn't seem too onerous to me.

Besides that's not the point. The point is that he is lying about his winrates.

Okay, now that I think about it, I could log a ton of small stakes games online without burning myself out because they require almost no mental strain on me. In a game where I'm being tested constantly, no. So yeah, I can actually see myself playing 40 hr weeks of 3/6, but that would just be stupid for me from a money perspective. So yeah.

PS. Wait a sec. I used to have you on ignore. How did that get undone?

PPS. Who are you to get on someone's case for lying in a post anyway?
