I view posts in flat mode as well. I also pay attention to who people reply to.

Dude I love this new blind level. I've only gotten in about 20 games with it so far, but my nick should be changed to pwnmasta perg. Poker is easy.

I don't mind it either. I think it actually helps. Furthermore, I really don't think it adds that much more time. Maybe Party has done something right [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I'm on life tilt or I would try it.

1500 dollars lost in 2 days does that to you.

I use flat mode, and I always just click reply on the last post.

People using flat compared to people using threaded view often seems to create a tiny bit of confusion that people often give no thought to.

In flat mode all posts are in cronological order only. In threaded they can jump all over the place.

I was responding to people in general not any specific person. I think I am among the majority of people who post this way. People who use threaded mode take posts personaly just because it was their thread that happened to be above ours.

In this particular case I responded directly to your post, and it appears below you in threaded mode. In flat mode this post wont be directly below you.

I hope my off topic banter has helped some people understand the simple difference. Especially the threaded mode viewers that are cramping my flat mode style.

I like threaded mode. Is there a way I can permanently set it that way?

Click your home page at the top of this page and go to display preferences. I believe it is there.

Sorry for the drama I caused, I meant no harm. I was trying to make light of a common missunderstanding, but all I did was cause more missunderstanding.

My sincere public apologies for my abrasive humor.

From three months ago:

It seems that 2+2 has developed into a community of people that basically feed off of the fish at exactly Party...I don't know but all in or fold specialists aren't the future of this game. That's too easy for a bot to do.

I'll start by quoting Dan Harrington in HOH Vol. 2:

Be advised that playing correctly around inflection points is the most important single skill of no limit hold 'em tournaments.

The italics are his.

I recently played in a live multi-table tournament where the blind structure was brutal and I was amazed throughout the tourney, and particularly at the final table, that people did not understand how to play a small stack (in relation to the blinds). At the final table I watched in amazement as the guy to my left, UTG+1, limped for 1/4 of his stack, called a min-raise for another 1/4 of his stack and then check/folded on the flop. There are many other examples I can remember both throughout the tourney and even at the final table shorthanded where people weren't pushing enough or were calling when they should have been thinking push or fold. I think one of my biggest advantages at this tourney was my experience playing SnG's. So, rather than think the quick end of the SnG and push or fold play is robotic and worthless, I think it is actually quite worthwhile and valuable to have in your arsenal.

After playing some 10-15 tournaments there is definately a difference when ITM. Blinds are lower and you have to restrain yourself a bit if you don't want to overbet hands to steal.

That isn't a big problem unless you are playing against donks who turn into calling stations even when you raise preflop. It is very hard to put them on hands when they just call call call.

Yeah but you play higher buy-ins! Your bankroll is bigger.

My bankroll (was) only 5 grand.

Now it's 3500 dollars.

That makes me sad.
