hmmm..... where did waves go?

[Triple_D_Bet]

Don't jinx it donker, or he'll end up puling out a miracle, sneaking onto Team USA and making us an 11-man team yet again

[MalikHusam]

my point total, please?

[bobbywaves]

hmmm..... where did waves go?

Waves transferred to the team he wanted to be on, just like Waves previously stated he would do.

So I can eliminate you or Tripe in WC finals.

[jjgold]

Bobby Waves is a tremendous player

[chico2663]

when i play like waves than i cash. When i play like donk than i find myself on the sidelines short of the goal line. I guess it is because the is ONLY ONE ALL-AMERICAN FROM TEXAS. His name is DONK!

[chico2663]

But I am back in

Yesterday I was 10th on confeds. After today's tournaments through the 9pm, I'm about 6 spots out. That's tough

Aggressive play is harder than it looks...being a nit and folding to mincashes is much easier, especially in these formats where the payout structure is so skewed; regular structure being a nit just means you take longer to lose. Regardless, folding to small cashes and out-participating people might get you on a team, but will make for piss-poor performance in the actual world cup format, as bobbo has proven

Wow, that is the comment of the day. JJ you really know how to start a thread.

[Auto Donk]

JJ's just trying to start controversey by saying the most outrageous thing he can think of in a poker thread, such as he did above, knowing full well it will stir up a reaction of overwhelming rejection of such a baseless comment by everyone else....

it's what JJ's paid to do.....

in reality, JJ -- just like the rest of us -- knows waves is pathetic and sucks at poker.....

[BeerDog99]

Wow, that is the comment of the day. JJ you really know how to start a thread.

JJ is just trolling, he tries to say the stupidest thing he can think of to get more posts.

exactly..... that's the word for it.... "trolling".....

as certain as we are that Long Ron is having some serious fun/pleasure in my avatar photo, we are even more certain that JJ knows waves sucks

when you go all in on aa and lose to a gut shot on a regular basis. Yesterday I lost jj,qq and kk as my hold cards. if i would of been aggressive than i would of never seen the final table. I played like waves an waited til I cash before I got aggressive and won. By the way I'm just learning holdem. What was great is catching big o bluffing at the final table. He is probably one of the greats on this site.

Since I cannot post the pic, I will use this new avatar of the canuc team

Unluck while being aggressive or luck while being passive happens, but in the long run, being aggressive is the better strategy. Being passive works better at SBR than it does in any other poker format due to SBR's participation award structure (a normal tournament with 40 people would pay out 5 places, not 12, and it's a lot harder to passively fold to 5th than 12th). And before you try to emulate it, don't forget that most of bobbo's "success" comes from non-poker factors such as playing more than the average player and sitting around all day waiting to jump in the tournament with the least players...without those advantages, his performance would be even worse than mediocre.

As long as you keep in mind that you're still learning and keep trying to learn you'll figure it out...it's only when people stop wanting to learn, or convince themselves that they've already got it all figured out, that they doom themselves to being bad players

[Auto Donk]

well stated, tdb....

as I am often accused of being too wordy in my critiques, I will keep this one short, sweet and to the point, and use a simple photo (usually worth a thousand words, in this case, it's worth at least 10,000 negative words) to make the point:




no matter what the issue at hand might be, emulating the guy in the photo, whether it be wardrobe choice, workout schedule (more accurately, the lack of any workout schedule), drafting Mingle2 profile pages, choosing a bra (or failing to do so), preparing welfare applications, or even playing poker, will never turn out well.....

Waves is always on the leaderboards

Waves gets lot of pussy

[Auto Donk]

Waves is always on the leaderboards

yes, you can sometimes find him on the leaderboards.... always be sure to look well UNDER my name.....

Bobby Waves is a tremendous player. Fact is, Waves has the most daily cashes over the years & won the biggest poker bet in SBR history (29k) against that idiot Tripe.

Coach gets it, well said.

[bobbywaves]

yes, you can sometimes find him on the leaderboards.... always be sure to look well UNDER my name....

According to the leaderboard above, I'm 1st & you're 4th.

Waves is right where he wants to be.

[Triple_D_Bet]

So used to having to put words in people's mouths to hear anything nice said about him, he can't even take the sarcastic complements from JJ without tossing in some made-up crap...whatta maroon

[bobbywaves]

he can't even take the sarcastic complements from JJ

I didn't detect an ounce of sarcasm.

JJ is a str8 shooter, he knows better than that.
