A return to innocence....aka 2005?

I can't believe how absolutely horrible the play has been since the US lockout. I guess all the weak players are more concentrated? I've bombed out of almost every tournament I've played lately but the cash games (esp FL) have been so juicy!

Anybody else notice this?

Yup. Just gotta outrun the push monkey Russians.

HAHA so true, the russians are the biggest luckboxes,if by some chance our hands can hold against them, we should be golden nowadays.

Muddguts · May 04,2011, 12:59 AM

the shit I have been called and knocked out with since the lockout is enough to make Gus Hansen weep! On the other hand, many a times I have had chip leaders throw their entire stacks at me in the early goings of a tournament with their flopped 2nd pair vs my 2p or set.

Playing today and yup so far it seems like years ago,only playing micro's but still this is awesome, playing a 27 man and just mopping the floor with these clowns so far.

By the way, AQ is the nuts today on stars.

philliivey · May 08,2011, 02:27 PM

Finished 2nd in the 27 man, went over some hands in sng wiz that I went out on and it says it was correct move, so feel better about it anyway, 4 game cash streak going!

Where is that bap/staking section of this forum anyway.......

I'm done with FT until the get rid of those things, took a beating. Single entried the mini though lol

Something like this Johnny? Wonder if this is what mudguts has been talking about lately.

Pretty good chance this was going to be another cash if I won this pot though so it gives me some comfort anyway.

True they are stupid, but you can right click on avatar's now and colour code opponents now!

Macke · May 11,2011, 03:48 AM

Yeah playing against Russians is always fun.

Made like 30 bucks playing 10/25c limit today in an hour or so..some real questionable calls there.
