Party has it set up so that you're responsible for making sure you have your disconnect protection. It's always displayed, isn't it? So I think you're out of luck.

I'm amazed you've gotten this far playing the way you do. This is total overagression. I'm surprised the players on 30/60 don't re-raise you all the time. Isn't your style better suited to shorthanded?

Perhaps. I played a lot of short-handed for a long time.


I play where I think I can make the most money at a given time. It really depends on the time of day and the games situation as to what I play. My game probably is a little better suited for short-handed because I think I have pretty good blind play but getting a bunch of semi-full to full tables going is often a lot less work. If they had 30/60 6max I'd likely just play that all day.

Meh. It's maybe a little overagressive I guess. It is 6 handed if you didn't notice...

Why don't they re-raise me? Sometimes they do. And sometimes they get the desired result. Sometimes they get called and spewed a couple extra bets. Other times they get 3 bet and have to fold. If only it were so easy as "why don't they just re-raise you."

They gave me 100 in my bonus account.

Meh, I tried.

And yes, I just signed up for a second internet service provider and yes I was going to look into a router that could handle it. Thanks for doing it for me.

Worst observation ever? Why? That's why this forum is becoming useless. Just a bunch of know-nothings flaming without reasoning.

Over aggressive players pay my rent. They always have and always will. I seek them out because they are profitable. A player with nothing but king high and a backdoor flush pays my rent. That's just the way it is.

I somewhat doubt that were you to play the OP headsup that he would be paying your rent. Your observation may not have been the worst ever but you do lack any context about the hand, the player's read of the other player, etc. You have no idea whether this particular opponent's check-raise on the flop likely means that he has a Q, perhaps it is more likely that a checkraise from this guy means a low pocket pair, or A high. Maybe you should stick to the actual topic of the thread rather than comment about the play of the hand.

Then again, this type of play pays your rent so go ahead - seek out bicyclekick and play him, what the hell do I care.

Implying that a player like BicycleKick is so bad that his style of play is +EV for YOU is about the most incorrect thing I have ever read on these forums.

Heh. You're too funny man. You implying that players like me pay your rent is laughable. Not to toot my own horn, but if you believe that seaking out players like me is the best game selection you have, then you probably have about the worst game selection of anyone in the world.

Where do you usually play anyhow? Why don't you come take my money? I play a lot of the higher games on the net and since you're such a pimp I'm sure we've played a ton together...and you've re-raised the [censored] out of me and dominated me super bad...so also what's your name on the sites? You've got me curious.
