I agree, I will readily play with him. In all my games I think he has only been ITM once.

"interesting... pokerprophecy has r_su_27 at 39% ITM over 3k games. but i dont think he's that great. is it just me?"

Aside from first saying pokerprophecy isn't particularly accurate...

They have me at 40.x% ITM, over 1500 or so. My ROI is nearish 10% four-tabling, so i'm not great.

Also, just for fun, I put my name into Pokerprophecy with the names of the 9 other highest players i recognize on the leaderboard (Quasi, juicyv, langthang, nofearhelps, wokethebears, etc). It ranked me as higher than all of these, though barely.

I know these players are likely much better than me, or at least play as well as i do but with 8 tables instead of 4.

The fact that everone is saying no to this is sorta scary. Avoiding people doesn't cost any money, and it can only save you money. If they're better than average that is. This is free EV. How do you not avoid anyone that could possibly hinder your chances at making cash?????

Table selection, I now believe, is the most underrated skill in SNGs....

If you are one of the people to be avoided:

NS Poker School, a fledgling poker school is looking for candidates to sponsor
into the world series of poker and players to sponsor online. We are looking for
"quality" players who are consistant winners over time. Sponsored candidates
could receive paid entry to the WSOP, we anticipate our online players being
given paid accounts at sites of their choice where they will split profits with
the school at an 80/20 split with 80% going to the player and 20% going to the
school. Sponsored players agree to promote the school and go through the 2-hour
initial online poker training segment, at the schools expense of course.
Interested candidates can e-mail pokergem123@yahoo.com for furthur information.

lol, avoid people? so i should be scared of people? oh. well, i think avoiding people is a waste of time, cuz there will always be someone adequate in most games, even if you dont know who they are. in anything 215 or above its a waste of time because everyone is at least decent, or aggressive on the bubble anyway. also, not enough games get off the ground if you play more than 6 tables, so it hurts yer hourly rate, which is really the only thing that matters. holla
