Dude, I'm sure he is still cool. Have you seen his avatar? (a la Dazed & Confused "Are you cool?")

you're running good, and should know that, and should know it well enough not to use it as some kind of advertizement.

Claiming a 40% ITM at the 215s he either:

A) Is the best STT player in the world.
B) Mistakenly believes his results are sustainable.
C) Knows his results are not sustainable, but advertises himself as a coach with them anyway.

Which do you think it could be?

Wow, the newest member of my ignore list. Well Done!

you dont take money off of donks at the 11s or 22s b/c of anything psychological, you have a different goal then most people, you try to improve and make as much money as possible while even an awful player who likes to play after work with a -30% ROI is only costing himself 3 dollars for 40 mins of entertainment after a long day of work, different goals and motives for players seperates winners and losers at nearly almost every level much more than psychology or natural talent.

[/ QUOTE ]

I disagree, but it's not very important. I think the people we're taking money from tend to expect to earn money.

[/ QUOTE ]

Noah, I agree. When I first started online, i expected to make money and didnt consider myself a "losing" player. Fact is, I was, for a long time, a loser and then merely break even player. I never admitted it to myself, but looking back at the way I played and the static nature of my "roll" (200 dollars or so) for 5 months I was not good.

To the outside observer I was just a guy who was "enetertaining" himself on the cheap for a few hours a day. In fact, I was determined to learn.

What makes good players different is that they can admit they suck and strive for more. It took a while for me. Not that I am good now (actually I'm awesome).

on megabet's other post, he mentioned %52 ITM over 500 $215. I remember Irie and some other posters talked about that ITM# can reach a true value with much less sample size than ROI, and 500 is probably an enough sample size. even with 10%/10%/32% (1/2/3) distribution (very very modest), he could have 34% ROI.

No, you've got it all wrong. It's just that your 24" schlong isn't sustainable.
