The poker forum - my take

Yeah you have, im really upset at how this whole thing has panned out!

Here we have the implication that part of the reason you had a losing year last year because your parents were sick? Wow thats distasteful.

If someone said to me, listen daragh, just take it easy this year and play 1000 odd $3 rebuys on stars. It will only cost you several thousand dollars and most of your waking hours. I would probably turn them down. But then I am lazy like that.

I said it's a reason i played less or are you always this unobservant? The only thing implied is i would have played more otherwise, not better or worse but more.

Look, i brought your mtt record into this for 1 reason and 1 reason alone. lloyd accused me of levelling you. I'm not psychic, i can only check things like recorded results. 5 cashes from 60 odd tournaments over 3 years. that's not "evidence" of consistent winning results in mtt. You may be a winner but, as i said, i'm not psychic and in the absence of any proof to the contrary i'll maintain my hunch that you're probably not very good at mtt.

You're placing great emphasis on my losing year of 2007 where i played for 3 months. Cool. Over 3,000 tournaments i'm a proven consistent winner. You can isolate periods and sub-samples within that sample and show losing periods. Of course. I could also isolate winning periods (like january 2008), but both are irrelevant, all that matters is over the whole sample i'm a consistent winner. Over a 3 month period in 2007 i played bad, ran bad, tried harder games and finished up -19% ROI. i should be ashamed of myself obv but weirdly i'm not because i'm attempting to use the knowledge i gained on how to compete in the harder games to my benefit. If it ends up costing 7k to do so, fine.

If someone said you should play 1000 $3 rebuys in a year they would be probably also as unobservant as you, they have 2x $3 rebuys daily on stars. I know maths isnt my strongest point (:rolleyes:) but 365x2 = 730, and that would assume you dont sleep or leave the house. Leaving the house requires having a life so you could probably get close to 730 played imo. (i play 30-40 mtt a day before you hit me with your usual smart-alec comeback pandering to your mates!)

What i do in poker is try win a few quid, if that means grinding out a few thousand tournaments a year for a relatively low ROI so be it. I'm not ashamed of playing small stakes, and there's a sense of achievement when you win a 3000 runner tournament.

Anyway listen i previously said i dont have a problem with you etc played football together etc no problem with ya. i take that back. You're not my type of person (sorry to break your heart!! )

So anyway this next paragraph is my final contribution to this thread and any thread (bar my EPT diary) for a while:
