What type of poker did/do you play?

I'm so impatient I have to play hyper turbos. Basically because I play after a session on the beer and K 10 looks the nuts at NL.


We know Druff and China are Limit gods, but what about everyone else before or after Black Friday?

What was your game?

Edit: all the big games online are mixed or 2/7 and a bit of PLO. I was wondering if the high stakes players NL are bored or more likely want less variance.

HUL SnG's

Easiest money in the internet for a few years.

Pre BF for me though.

Played most formats but mainly mtts, even though I've grown to dislike them more and more over the years (probably coinciding with not winning as much due to lack of bankroll/volume/games getting tougher).

I prefer live cash as I've done quite well at £1/1 and £1/2 over a small sample, but the games are usually super soft.

I multi table a mix of everything otherwise there just is not enough action on the Nevada site .0 limit games run

Pre-BF I played holdem sngs and tournaments. I used to focus on nlhe and lhe, but at some point switched to mixed games and then when I focused on stud8 was when I really hit my stride which sadly came only two months before black friday. Now I only play live and mostly play lhe with the occasional nlhe, o8, and mixed games.

I only played online when drinking. I get your point about the impatient thing. No matter how hard I tried, as the night wore on anything suited would be a great hand.

Back in the day, my apartment backed up to a lake. There are a minimum three laptops in that lake from 2005-2008. The last one was a hand I lost to one of those TV pros on Absolute Poker. He went all in with Q9 preflop and I had KK. He caught a straight, and UIGEA hit a week later and that was that. I always wondered after the scandal came out if I was scammed. I lost $1,400 on that hand and laptop ended up in the lake. Outside of some sketchy sites I tried that was the last legit hand of online poker I played. I transitioned for a year to live poker exclusively and that was even worse, the monotony. I almost got killed in Shreveport one night when I told a black guy at the table to fuck off after he flushed me on the river and began high fiving his buddies. He followed me around the casino for like two hours after I felted him a couple hands later. True story.

Before black Friday I played 180 man SnGs as well as $2/$4 and $3/$6 HU LHE.


After black Friday I play 6-handed ring games on Bovada.


Black Friday sucked ass.

You've gone from a confidant, strong poster to a complete pussy faggot in around 2 weeks. Drink more maybe. Or don't post. This place needs less homos.

No matter how rich you are or how much you inherited, you still thought it was a good idea to cover your arms with tattoos. Going to be real funny when your arms shrink up as you get older and you have a bunch of green ink merging together. LOL. Keep pumping iron, it's the only thing keeping those ridiculous "I am still 25" tats going.

Have a nice day.

I was terrible playing poker while I was drinking. I had no patience and no fear. A bad combination for me. However a little weed and the game just became more interesting and really slowed down. I don't know what it is, but internet poker and marijuana are a match made in heaven.

he might be confusing you with lol wow who has silly, effeminate, t-rex arms.

Why don't you stay on topic and tell us about your poker experiences Sonatine?

Your weak sauce troll posts are getting worse by the day, I can sense a shift in perspective around here regarding yourself - you no longer have the respect you once had - people are starting to see you for what you truly are.

I play poker in the best games possible in terms of players, not game type. I prefer PL Omaha variations but players dictate what I'll play.

Pre bf I did guarantee plo because it was awesome. Also Sunday majors. Now I play Omaha 8 up to 20-40. 3-5 hold em, and tourneys ranging from 500 - 1500. Satellites into majors, if it's allahs will.

Mixed game cash
NLHE Tournaments

If playing live then NL or RxR games. I like straight PLO or PLO8 but those games don't run much by me.

For online I prefer SNGs and MTTs. You can burn a lot of money just playing MTTs so I play a lot of HU SNGs, DONS, and some other various formats. I don't play much cash online anymore like I once did but I will still play some PLO8 and lower stakes PLO/NL for fun.

6 max SNG's NL
Home games of < 12 people

low stakes

just played for enjoyment and to keep my thinking/analyzing skills sharp(er)

It worked

2/4 1/2 50/1 nl on line 2 tables

live 2/5 or 5/10 any thing lower is not interesting or meaningful

i will try some omaha..... not any good results so far

visiting my father in palm desert "hot water" and whats with the $2 chips on the 1/3 tables ? hard to adjust from $5 chips and they stick together, yuck!

Just Freerolls now after black friday

B&M: lhe & blackjack
online: lhe and any kind of freeroll tourney

9 man turbo SNGs was all I had time for, I'd play 9 on my lunch hour...with 3 kids poker after work was almost impossible.

I'd also play some limit triple draw when I had the time.

Since I already had 1 kid when the poker boom started, I really only played for fun and made most of my "poker" money through affiliate stuff, which was how I found NWP.

95% PLO8/LO8 for the last 10 years with a little PLO mixed in...
