Re: If you say hello to me at the tables....
Went to visit friends at the casino I used to deal BJ at.
While I don't talk about my current 'career' too much in public I was naturally bombarded with questions about how i was doing at it by friends whom I haven't seen in awhile. One of the BJ players overheard the converstion and came up to me. 70 years-old or so..used to be a 'pro'...blah blah blah. He asked me if the online-poker thing was legit (not going to run off with his money). We chatted for a little while and I told him about partypoker, pokerstars, 2+2...the general stuff. He said he had all their books and would certainly check out the forums. He then proceeded to tell me how he does astrology charts and he's really outstanding at it and how he knows when to play and not play in the various games. Made a fortune in roulette one week because some planet was off by a half-inch on his charts and he 'knew it was time' or something like that. Fun conversation. I'm not terribly worried about newbies finding out about 2+2.

Re: If you say hello to me at the tables....
2+2 has 23831 Registered Users
Party at Peak time had 18161 seated cash ring players in the last 24 hours. I don't think people knowing about 2+2 is that important, we're all playing against each other anyway. Lori

[ QUOTE ]
If they're motivated to find this place they will but I won't give them a map while I'm trying to take their money. I'm kinda selfish I guess. [/ QUOTE ] I completely agree on this point. I NEVER say things related to the game at the tables (not anything that makes sense anyway). I just don't think that 'brown trout' causes a massive influx of newbie's suddenly finding 2+2 (and actually benefitting from it as well). I REALLY hate when players say 2+2 at the table though...or chat about SSHE, etc. The one I hate the most is Pokertracker chat at the tables. "my pokertracker says you are playing 60% of your hands...blah blah blah." This is even worse than saying "you re-raised with A4 offsuit...man you suck!!" I once was at a table where one guy was arguing with the other that he was making up the stats on the other players because obviously such programs don't exist...and the guy who had PTracker kept INSISTING that he really DID have the stats on all his opponents. And I sat there watching kinda helplessly (or maybe I said something...don't remember). Yes...they will probably misapply the knowledge they might get from the forums, books, software and stuff...but it still bugs me because the general knowledge-sharing that it's out there is probably making them at least a LITTLE bit better in the long run. Oh well.

Re: If you say hello to me at the tables....
Yes...i know I contradicted my previous statement that I'm not that worried about it. So sue me.
I'm really not THAT worried about it...it just amazes me how much some people feel a need to show-off how much they know to the people whose money they are trying to take.

[ QUOTE ] old school: "does the brown trout sleep in the closet?" "aye, she does." new school: Sup bro? [/ QUOTE ] The trick is mixing it in with other conversation. Here's an example from Party $1/2 last night: IsaacW: XXXXXXXX, do you watch sealab 2021? XXXXXXXX: no, what's that? IsaacW: so, you don't know who sup bro is? XXXXXXXX: no, sorry. 2+2er: i do, 15 tackles for a loss, right? IsaacW: yeah, i think he was all county. XXXXXXXX: so, IsaacW, were you going to make a point? IsaacW: no, not really, your name relates to the show sealab XXXXXXXX: oh, when is it on? IsaacW: late nights IsaacW: on cartoon network ... [/ QUOTE ] LOL...suddenly some of the inane chatter I read at the tables makes more sense. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
