Wait, that wasn’t the question. Ok, the super definitive answer to the question “How can I adjust to so and so rigged site in order to make a profit and discontinue my losing ways that I blame on everything but my ability?” is:
1) Learn how to play Texas Holdem (ok, most of you have already done this as it does only take 2 minutes like Mike Sexton says. Somehow 90% of the audience who are all geniuses seem to equate the “lifetime to master” as 2 months, guess my humble 140 you know what should acquiesce to them.)
2) Play a while with money you can afford to lose.
3) Now that you have a better feel for the game, study the game and yourself. One of many methods of this is reading books. If you must, read some of the better “step by step, this is how you play winning poker” books like Harrington on Hold’em or 2+2’s Small Stakes Hold’em. Realize... | | Read Entire Entry |

Folks,
I am neither espousing conspiracy theories nor championing any cause. If you look back at my posts I think you will see this. (And I am getting very tired of repeating myself on THIS particular point.)
Saying, "this is just what I happen to believe" is not the same as saying "this is definitely what's going on and I want you to agree with me so I'll prove it to you."
I have said multiple times in this thread that although I am happy to hear other POV's, I have no interest in arguing for or proving my belief. (You believe what you want to and I'll do the same.) Convincing others -- "championing a cause"-- is simply not on my agenda.

where???? how????
In spite my my inability to properly spell "puerile," I'm way better at lit than chess. Definitely not good enuf at chess to play for money (am pretty damn good for a girl, but unfortunately suffer from that common female trait of not being able to visualize multiple multi-variable outcomes as well as males and yes, this is a sexist generalization, I realize there are some truly exceptional female chess players etc. etc.... but I am not one of them) so sorry Thomas, you'd kick my butt at chess, but if you wanna play some lit, just say the word...
Sure, im always up for something besides poker. Cash or fun, either way is cool. I must warn you though, (all jokes aside) I'm a genius | | Static Link |

Yes, it is. Thank you for pointing that out.
If you feel like playing some chess online for Stars transers let me know. I didnt ace my SAT math, but pulled a 770. Not bad.
I've heard of a few people playing Yahoo! games for money on Stars. Is there a website that coordinates games/matchups like that? A friend of mine wants often to play literati for Stars cash and I'd love to direct him elsewhere. | | Static Link |

(for pointing out that I might not be a complete "#$%ing idiot").
That said, while I may not be able to rattle off stats the way many of you can (and it does impress the hell out of me, honestly), I am not exactly deficient in the math department, either. Perfect SAT's in math, back in the early 80's when that still meant something, every single math prize awarded in my high school, and 3 semesters of college calc. (Still, never made it to statistics, so i AM a complete idiot in THAT department.) I am also a pretty damn good chess player-- for a girl
Point being-- in spite of what everyone seems to think after reading my post, I do understand the concept of variance. I was frustrated when I wrote that post about a losing session. I KNOW that 50 BB is just normal variance, but am not yet to the point where it doesn't bother me.
I think some people may have read my post and thought, "she had a losing session on PR, so... | | Read Entire Entry |

It was well-reasoned, relevant and accurate (I didn't check your math but I trust it, the distributions seem right).
A lack of understanding of statistics, variance, etc. doesn't make anyone an idiot. Like you said, some of us have strengths or experience in certain areas and not in others. I threw out the word "idiot" when I read this:
"This was on pokerroom (Hollywood)... I have been doing the bonus there for a long time, have been (until now) patient with the little "bugs" in the software, vowed to never again play on weekends (since I honestly think they tweak it a bit then)"
It's ridiculous. And I mean that in the literal sense: 'worthy of ridicule.' So... I did. | | Static Link |
