I PROPOSE A NEW FORUM: WINNING SNG PLAYERS

[GauchoFish]

awesome...i'm glad somebody voluntarily put their stats up:

ok so mixed in with your Irieguy account...the three you've told us about total to:

262 tourneys and 92 ITM's...35% ITM

Not bad. You just meet the cutoff for 'winning player'...though lose a couple tourneys and you'll be down in 'break-even, slightly winning/slightly losing player'...though you will be on the upside of the group.

if i point them out...this will thread will get out of control. i'm not looking to make personal attacks, i'm making a critique of the culture.

no i'm not gauchoholic...though i'm sure we share the same university hehe

i don't use GauchoFish much anymore, but i had a nice run while i played on it.


I WOULD HIGHLY RECCOMEND FORKING OVER THE $30 FOR PROPHECY...if it grabs 60% thats a ton, so long as they are random...just seeing that a guy has 300 tourneys in that thing is enough to avoid crucial early tourney all-in calls.
it also has paid for itself, in my case, many times over for this very reason.

Anyone else find this pretty funny?

there could be a shared database of poster's PT logs then. Or some other way. surely there is a talented coder among us who could easily coordinate PT accounts.

the thing is, people who are losing players know they are such if they keep logs. just having that requirement, some form of verification, would keep the losers from even applying.

FWIW, I for one am not really here to impress anyone or make friends etc...I have all of that in my real life. But...I do appreciate all of the advice given, even what I feel to be, "bad advice" sometimes (whatever that means)....If a disagree with the line someone is taking, it gives me a chance to rebut and explain WHY I think theyre wrong, and WHAT I feel is the better way to play that hand...If I am able to articulate my own thought processes, it helps me just as much if not more than the person to whom I am replying. If everyone was right or "good" on this forum, there would be a lot less learning IMO...I like when people ask stupid questions and I like when people take (what I feel) to be the worst line in a hand...w/o that, there's no chance for discussion...we would just be a bunch of bobble heads.

I dont care about someone's credentials to benefit from what they say...I have enough confidence in my own poker mind to be able to think for myself.

This is a dumb thread...and this is from someone who kept an open mind to you during your other debacle...

"just seeing that a guy has 300 tourneys in that thing is enough to avoid crucial early tourney all-in calls."

This is the only stat that I'd think is useful. #sngs played shows indicates their experience level. 5 sngs played??? Very inexperienced and probally a fish. A few hundred?? A serious player who is probally pretty decent.

I wouldn't trust the ITM stats though.

I wish the IRS would tax me as though I was only a slightly winning player.

Even with write-offs for backees, they sure want a lot of money.

thanks for the input

well stated

why would u not trust the ITM stats???

if its a large enough sample it will even out. when you see somebody with 300 tourneys on there, i think, you can have a pretty good idea of how accurate that is.
