you are making you decision on is based on best case scenario and you assume your "outs" are still in the deck. Most of the time especially when you are playing 10 handed, thats not the case.

Has nothing to do with it. Any unseen card is considered live and still in the deck. Thats the only way to play it and the correct way.

Question for Malone...

Please xplain to me why you feel safe playing online. I'm not saying its not safe..just asking why you think it is.

I'm paranoid about two or three players sitting in the same physical location but with different IP addresses playing in cahoots with each other.

I know there are programs designed to catch this stuff, but do you trust that this kinda stuff isnt going on? What makes you so sure if so?

absolutely not. See when you actually have a life you have better shite to do than spend your days playing poker.

i'm a cash game player and I don't have 2+ hours a day to waste on poker.

also if you were a good tourney player you wouldn't be bragging about being in the ME. And cut the shite with being backed. It seems like any decent tourney player with a pulse who is trusted can EASILY get backed by high end players.

not bragging about being backed. the guy asked about it.

so if your so good in cash games put some money online and play me. i already said i suck in cash games and I will still play you. we can 4 table 2/5 NL. how does that sound? Im playing your game. dont back out

it's really not worth it in the grand scheme of things unless you can make an absurd amount (100K+ a year).

it's such a time drain on everything. I'd compare it to sitting around playing a video game all day except you make some $$$.

Which is why a shite ton of the best online players are ex video game addicts :P

shite let's just make it 10/20. See how easy that is when someone clearly states they have cashed out their roll. Enjoy sucking at life, ****. Make sure to post here when you bubble.

oh and FYI egg. online poker will always be there. it doesn't make sense to waste your 20s playing online all day.

i feel super safe playing online tourneys. the poker sites have no reason to cheat. they make billions of dollars off of rake each year. they want their games to be trusted and secure. pokerstars and fulltilt do a great job of security and 95% of my time is spend on these 2 sites alone. there is a ton of $$ to be made online. i can come home from work and play 5-7 tourneys at 1 time. you being a pkoer guy, you know the more volume you play the less variance is involved. you play live and you can play 1 tourney at a time. thats it. bust you and your done. online, you bust out of 1 and still have 4 or 5 going. I have made good money online and until i feel a threat or unsafe i will continue to play there.

pokerstars and fulltilt pick up on this esp at the lower limits. if they see players sitting in the same games over and over they dont allow it anymore. with the amount of volume at the low limits its very rare you will see 3 of the same guys at the same table every single time. at the higher limits you see the same guys playing all the time. (talking like $500-$2000 sngs) the amoutn of volume there is way less. Like i said. pokerstars and fulltilt do a great job of security and they even will reimburse funds once they find colluision.

like i said. i play all MTT (multi table tourneys) which is usually 400+ players in every tourney. I dont have to worry about this as much as people who play 9 or 10 man sngs. its hard to cheat with 400 players in a tourney as you have no idea where you will be sitting. etc.

why not? i have several friends who are putting in sick volume right now and make as much $$$ as possible to not have to play poker their entire life. will be retired by 30 hopefully. you make no fricking sense in anything you say. just STFU.
find someone on this site you trust. ship them the $$$ via check and I will gladly ship you any amount of $$$ you want via stars or tilt. then we can play for any amount. find an admin to hold the money. like an escrow account. dont be a pussy.

a crapshoot? you obviously have no idea about the tourney at all. maybe a crapshoot to win the entire thing. WSOP ME is a great tourney to make good $$$. its a field of 75% morons and sat winners and its the greatest structured tourney in the world. Each level is 2 hours long and you have 30,000 starting chips. If your stack is still at 30,000 going into day 3 you will still have 25bbs which is super fine in a MTT. Obviously, you have no idea what I am talking about so I have no idea why I am wasting my time but I forgot you are always right about everything. STFU about shite you have no idea on. I think you talk just to fricking hear yourself talk. (I guess it would be typing in this episode)

Coming from someone who has played in it twice, yes it is a crap shoot. I played poker professionally for 6 years and the ME is far from a gimmie to cash in. Good luck but don't go into the biggest tournament in the world with this attitude.
