I have finally got my head around everything said on here and decided to take things serious. Posted by bearlyther
I thought you decided to take things serious when you posted this thread 5 days ago? :S
This thread is just lulz now, there's some genuinely good advice but having to read through so much arguing and other rubbish at the same time, can't be bothered )
Ok 1st off with regards to the hit and run i was playing well above my roll and honestely didnt know this was considered bas etiquette until now so apolagise if this caused any offense to you and yes i know this is not a winning strategy more like taking a small shot. I have finally got my head around everything said on here and decided to take things serious. I will be playing my last 2 hours of cash on sky right now between 1 and 2 then i will never play cash on here again unless i have a serious roll. yesterday i was playing 50nl 100 nl 100 nl cash. Was looking good for a run in the main late on but busted out when i made a move with k10. So i have finally got my fix of the bigger games and time to settle down. Profit yesterday: -£30.17 Bankroll: £2680.11 C4P: 3304 (£46.26) Posted by bearlyther
I wouldn,t call it bad etiquitte. I,d say its a bit of a gamble tho. Anyone who puts their money online can play any game for however long they like - Its there money and they can do what they like with it as we all can and do imo
That's true MP33, but do you expect any half decent player to ever play him if they know he will run off after winning 1 big hand? If he's 'going pro', surely he has to think long term and not just 'how can I pinch £50 today'.
In Response to Re: Going Pro [Bearlyther's Diary] : I try to be polite and hardly ever get hot under the collar but well done for rubbing me up the wrong way yesterday, not many people do that to me.... now this is a polite message and hopefully you get the point as you clearly didnt understand yesterday..... You can sit/block my hu games for as long as like but I will not give you any action your equitte stinks and the fact you didnt know what you were doing is BS......Good luck .... Posted by GliterBabe
Didn,t see that bit and not quite sure what it means

If i was lucky enough to be pro or thinking about it , no i probably wouldn,t , but your ovbiously not gonna get much action if you keep doing it -nice cash in SPT bty
In Response to Re: Going Pro [Bearlyther's Diary] : I'm guessing he means sitting in the other seat in a HU game, then sitting out, so nobody else can sit there? Posted by EvilPingu
Thsts what i thought but what would be the point, unless youve got a vendetta against someone and want to really pee them off so they can,t get a game

Oh stop crying and next time go sit on another table.
Cheers MP33... was only my 2nd time at an SPT and now I got a hendon mob entry
But yeah, I'd still say Hit n Run is pretty bad ettiquette and it's such a rare ocurrence to ever see Wayne moan about anything, so I'd certainly lead towards trusting his view on it. Who knows if something was said in the chat box or something, I dunno, but Wayne must get a fair few Hit n Runners like all high stakes HU cash players will, so for him to make a point that his etiquette stinks, makes me think there was more to it.
It is getting interesting JJ, although I think it's more for comedy value than anything else. Not saying that's a bad thing, but probably not the OP's intention.
this is just my thoughts as i have played on your dyms quite a bit to put on here u are turning pro is quite frankley laughable u bink a tourni n1 on that then get thoughts of going pro u are a shove player any 2 which in my way of thinking can not make u succesfull in the long run. your bankroll is not high enough and to be honest your standard is not either but hey gl if u think u can be a pro
Well he's been more successful with his diary than most people are, including myself.
He plays higher stakes than most, and his naivety/vulnerability is quite refreshing/interesting to read about.
--------------------------
I happened to be watching when he hit n run gliterbabe, his time-bar went red the hand after winning a big pot. It was so blatantly obvious that he'd disconnected himself! lol.....
Which makes me question wether he's telling the truth about not knowing Hit n Run was bad.....
Why wouldn't he just say, ul gg, then stand? if he thought it was ok?
---------------------------
He's learning as he goes, like most diaries, but unlike most others he has a chunk of money to learn with.
I think it's a v good thread and hope he keeps going well.
Dont give up playing cash Bearlyther, have played a bit with you, I think you are easily good enough to win. And you always do seem to be winning! Posted by Spad3s
Am fairly new to sky poker & its forum, as far as i am concerned the one thing to take out of this thread is the willingness of many people to try & help, offer advice to a fellow poker player.
Reading through the posts on here I now have a realistic idea of what it takes to be able to consider yourself a "Pro poker player", with regard to :-
1) Bankroll size
2) Bankroll management
3) Computer system & set-up required
4) Dedication & commitment to the "Job" required
5) Strategy (varies with regards to the players strengths)
6) Expenses & therefore the minimum amount of profit required.
I have no intention of bad mouthing anyone but it is obvious Bearlyther that you don't satisfy any of the above criteria.
Over the past 7 days you have changed direction more times than the treetops in the wind.
You have also managed to upset/annoy/irritate a number of the people on Sky Poker you had hoped to earn a living alongside.
To the point now that i can imagine a lot of people are now not hoping that you succeed, rather that you i wont say fail as that is not within the nature of most poker players but that you appreciate the enormity of "Going Pro" and settle instead for being a recreational player who has no doubt got a fair amount of talent, but cannot satisfy the criteria required for "Going Pro".
Putting my Mod hat on, while not speaking for the other Mods, at the moment I'm not considering this for closure.
I would say that the general tone is beginning to move towards the line. This is just a polite notice to say play nice please people.
Mod hat off, no rules against hit and running and you can do this as much as you want. However as soon as you get this reputation you can kiss goodbye to action for most regs. I'll probably play you though, I'm just a sucker for action. I would say that table blocking is pretty bad etiquette (I'm not accusing you of this as I have not seen this myself, but as it's been brought up I feel the need to address it). Again no rules against it but you will really annoy regs by doing this, and personally I don't think this is profitable in terms of both poker and personal character.
table blocking is really bad etiquette but HnRing when taking shots i think is perfectly fine. the people who say they wont give you action anymore because of it are stupid, if they think they have an edge on you they should carry on playing but just make some adjustments.
you should prob just read jakally's advice then ignore most the other posts in this thread, including mine!

So not good, your just going to end up trying to sit at tables and people refusing to give you action
It may just work the other way though and you get more action)
And you always do seem to be winning!
