    HH is a very good player & I stand corrected, his ratio is indeed higher. I feel the number is quite significant & you will be hard pressed to find anyone else.

    I haven't rolled this weeks winnings yet, as I wait for Omaha. Terrified of poker rollover? Hardly, as I stated my time is valuable & Omaha rollover is much faster.

    There are probably several other good players out there who can beat your imaginary number, but it's beside the point...did you miss the part where HH agreed with me and the rest of the world that it's a meaningless way to measure success? Probably

    Your time is valuable? Neat excuse...as shown elsewhere, your points performance averages out to less than $2/hour at best...if the value of your time was the basis for your decision, you'd be 4 times better off flipping burgers instead of playing poker Nobody here plays SBR poker for a living, but when person after person proves that they can make more points in less time than you, your "time is valuable"/ROI excuses don't hold much water. The reality is obvious to everyone but you: you're a mediocre micro-stakes nit who couldn't even win a $50 gift card a year without SBR gifts

    That would seem the easiest way to do it picker, I'm down...but I'm sure bobby will say it's not worth his time; he'd rather grind them out at 50/hour

    We already have a 10k pt contest going. This will prove who the better player is over an extended amount of time, not who can get lucky in a 30 minute ring game. Triple D claims I'm a mediocre player, BobbyWaves C if you will. Yet, I have a lead of approx 1,300 pts in our heads up contest & he's nowhere to be found on poker leaderboards. These are facts Triple can't deny, but loves to dismiss.

    In summary, it's quite obvious Triple D should downgrade himself to Triple F.

    About that lead...let's look at 2 weeks ago shall we?

    If this pace somehow holds up, I would stand to win our contest by an overwhelming 17,473 margin!

    In any event.....Although we don't see eye to eye on much, I sincerely appreciate your 10k gift. It more than makes up for the loans I've been stiffed on.
    That lead doesn't seem to be holding up very well bobby, and it's quite understandable that you wouldn't want to step outside your only real area of expertise (chopping pots in Omaha). One by one you're falling behind in even the imaginary winner's circles you've created for yourself...first it was main leaderboard for 2014 (oops, you keep falling off that); then it was ROI (oops, entire forum acknowledges that has 0 validity). The sad thing is when you fall behind in our contest you probably won't even have sub-leaderboard to cling to...better get an early start on twisting some new numbers to try convincing yourself you're anything special

    Oh Ok, but bobby that same 30 minute lucky ring game can also be that good half hour tourney game to. Poker 50% luck and 50% skills.
    You guys should attempt to settle this asap instead of waiting.

    Hey Bobby, Ill even do a 10k wager with you that I can have a higher ROI then you for 2014, (6 months or whole year). I only play the ring games now when there are people there I want to chat with and I can strictly play rollover and maybe even chop a few in omaha just like you.

    Please let me know if you want to do this contest separate from our this current contest.

    Both DS and bobby miss the money today. Time's running out for bobby, who still trails by 13 min cashes...that's a lot of ground to make up for someone who routinely falls just short of the final table. The "bobby wins by 600" wagers are almost impossible to win, as bobby would require more mincashes than there are tournaments left to succeed. Anything is technically possible though!

    Easy money for bobby obviously, but he'll decline...wish I had time to draft up some lines for what the excuse will be (we already have a contest/I'm on a leaderboard/my time is valuable are the heavy favorites, but always the chance for a new one!)

    Regardless of how big my lead is, fact is I'm ahead of you in our 10k contest.

    If you move ahead at some point then you have a right to talk, as at least you'll have some ammunition to back up your words. As of now, you've been out of ammo in this war of words you can't win.

    I've got all the ammo I need and then some, all of it meticulously explained over the last week or two...there's only one person on the board who doesn't realize it yet and insists on learning the hard way. If I somehow lose our contest, I can at least take solace in the fact that it won't take me too long to regain the points...when you lose though, it will take over 200 hours of your "valuable time" to recover. Seems like it would have been more efficient to read some poker books and realize how bad you were, but everyone learns differently I guess

    DS bubbles, giving bobby an opportunity which he fails to seize when he goes out super early. At this pace, DS will overtake bobby's YTD winnings well before the year is over, making it even more difficult for bobby to stay on any of the leaderboards he values so highly. 24 to go!

    DS falls just short of a cash to stay at 1690. Bobby doesn't waste any time with his non-cash, stacking off with top pair in first couple hands of the tourney.

    Coming from someone who can't add 17 + 1 & trailing our heads up contest by 1,500+, the stones on this guy is unbelievable. If I lose 2.5k to DS so what, I have an easy 10k coming from you.

    that is such bullshit! you have completely flipped this thread when things aren't looking good vs DS. Now its not about that its about TripD?
    Btw if SBR took your timer away you would never place, you just sit there. yawn

    Everyone makes mistakes...it's inevitable. Wise people correct them; fools don't. I corrected my clerical error (without any prompting from you or anyone), and you still think you're right and everyone else in the poker world is wrong, despite the truth being laid out in detail several times. Hrm...

    2,500 bet with DS vs. a 10,000 bet with Triple, it's that difficult for you to figure out which has more significance?

    If I was abusing the timer, SBR would have cut in half already......Like Eberetta's timer.

    Btw, I don't see you anywhere on poker leaderboard.

    if you were beating DS and losing to Trip D then it would be the other way around, you wouldn't care about the pts it would be about beating DS. The only reason that your timer is not cut down is because you actually sit there staring at the screen and then hit fold. Others that have had their timers cut down just leave the computer and let it go to "away". You just contradict yourself in so many ways talking about "3 years my junior with more posts", Waves no one takes pts and this place as serious as you. BTW the leader board has not been updated in a while nor do I care if it does get updated you on the other hand will be waiting with bated breath. gl Bobby

    To be fair Mitchell, bobby and I have been having this discussion since well before DS started kicking his ass in this contest, and we should expect more of the same. While skill in poker is usually determined by your ability to deceive your opponent, bobby's only real talent lies in deceiving himself by clinging to data he thinks supports his delusion of himself as a good player, and ignoring the rest of it. When a guy who goes on about his super-valuable time is not only proud of beating $0.40 cent tourneys with a 500% overlay, but incapable of understanding that people who win more than he does in less time are more successful, you can't expect anything different...all you can do is take his points

    Some people do make more mistakes than others...off the top of my head, a few examples:

    a) thinking having the lead in a contest that's not even 20% done is meaningful (how's that working out in your contest vs DS again?)

    b) mistakenly lending to extremely risky people and crying when they (often predictably) stiff

    c) failing to understand that mincashing 40 cent poker tourneys isn't an accomplishment worth mentioning unless you're in grade school (especially when you have to stall worse than eberetta to get them!)

    d) failing to understand that people making more points in less time are more successful than you regardless of which leaderboard/convoluting of numbers you come up with to justify your delusion

    The fact that the lead you're always mentioning keeps dropping should be a clue...but then again, if you had a clue, you might actually be able to hang on to that lead

    Hang on to lead? My lead has never been threatened, & the lead actually increased last week. If you had a clue, you wouldn't be facing a 1,500+ deficit.
