Poker Profiles

[danielz_23]

Thought I'd add some personality to this thread - seems odd my small profile kicks things off... but...

Player ID: danielz_23

Where I play Online: PokerStars

Where I play Live: n/a

You'll find me on: SnGs and Multi tables

Been playing for: 3-months

My biggest win was: On PartyPoker a year-ago. I know I said I've been playing for 3-months but I played for a couple of weeks on my holidays a year ago and came 3rd in a Steps tournie, needless to say I then lost it trying to win again... haha... sound familar(?). Then they started charging me an admin fee for not playing, enough said!

Favorite Hand: Any winning one!

Why you play?: Lets be honest, to win $. But I don't (don't really lose either)... having fun all the same. Its a challenge, a frustrating one!

Final words of wisdom: Have fun with it, don't rely on the $.

Player ID: Player ID: redda1973

Where I play Online: Hansa. I hate how slow it is at PS.

Where I play Live: only played once. APL free role at Wadonga. Only just got past the 1st break.

You'll find me on: Double up S&G's 6 player. Trying to turn $1 into $400. I hate playing on the cash tables. If you find me there your in luck.

Been playing for: Nearly a year.

My biggest win was: $435 in a $5 rebuy. Bought in once and didnt add on. Finished 2nd. Also have finished 6th with no rebuy or add on for $160. Have only played a few tourny's as I find it hard to have the time to play one out. Should play more.

Favorite Hand: Dont really have a favorite but my least favorite is AA. I seem to lose heaps with it. Try and get the most out of it by betting to get called and it bites me on the a every time. Now when I get it I bet strong pre flop and on the turn and if it only gets me blinds or a little more so be it.

Why you play?: Enjoy playing online. Like the challange and would like to get to the stage I may make some good dollars.

Final words of wisdom: If you think your behind you probably are.

[ashley12]

At least we know that DockerMad isnt Doyle Brunson...

Anyway...

PLAYER ID: #1 Man U Fan

SITE: Stars...

LIVE: Burswood casino getting abused...

IM ON: A bit of everything online, still looking into what I have an edge with...

BEEN PLAYING: Since 2007 living on campus. Actually won 13 out of 15 6 man SnG's with uni mates one week to live with...

BIGGEST WIN: Online, 2nd in a $1 donkament on Stars good for $160ish, cant remember how much. Live, once I have pulled a profit of over 1k in a session which took me about 9-10 hours IIRC maybe 6 or 7 times profit of over $500...

FAV HAND: Two junk hands, 45o which won me my first live pot, actually to a raise and OOP too, the other 10 7o which stacked someone I really disliked live. Actual hands, KQs and 10's... and winners...

WHY: Because I love the game and believe that in particular live, I have an edge over my competition


MOTTO:

Been playing for: About two years

My biggest win was: N/A for online as just cash games, although it would probably be $50 pots (all in $25 buy in).

Crown would be the first time i played. $1/$2 $60 buy in i had $30 mate put in $30 so i tested the live game out. Called a raise with AQ, flop AQJ, bet, call, i call, turn Q, bet, call, i call, river X, bet, call, i call all in. Can't even remember what they had but i tripled up to $180 and left after being at the table for about 15 mins.

Why you play?: For steady profits

Final words of wisdom: Top pair is always the nuts

 

[danielz_23]

Why you play?: I have a slightly obsessive personality, and poker is my current obsession. I am very competitive, and love the challenge of poker.

I love this answer. I can completely relate to it, my attempts to shift my obsession to something a little less costly and time consuming are so far unsuccessful. However it is an improvement over horse and sport betting!

Thanks for the posts guys - I'd never heard of Hansa before... considering giving 888/Pacific Poker a chance at the moment.... as an alternative to big ol' Stars

Hansa is on iPoker, which is a very big network (third biggest behind Stars and Tilt). 888 has bad software, but very fishy players. I strongly recommend getting a good kickback or VIP deal before you sign up though.

 

[The Passenger]

Player ID: shamelessdav (PS), shamelessdave (FTP), shamelessdave59 (ipoker)

Where I play Online: as above, more full tilt than anything

Where I play Live: local APL tournaments. maybe 2 a week.

You'll find me on: cash tables; $0.05/$0.10 for no limit and pot limit games, $0.25/$0.50 in limit games. mainly playing stud high at the moment.

Been playing for: 6 months, only really been thinking about things since start of the year but haven't been able to play as much as i'd lke since then.

My biggest win was: not playing many tournaments so don't get those big winners. although cashed for about $250 a few weeks back at APL $34 buy-in.

Favorite Hand: trip aces in stud

Why you play?: fun and hopefully to start makin a bit of money on the side as i get better.

Final words of wisdom: mix up the games. constantly playing No Limit Holdem will eventually start to get boring and take your love of poker away. Even if it's still your main game it's good to be able to sit down and play anther game well. i also reckon that'll improve your holdem game as well.

[kimirocks]

Player ID - kimirocks

Where i play online - Stars

Where i play live - Skycity 1-2 sessions a week, and Crown 1-2 sessions a month

You'll find me on - Horse SnG's, NLHE SnG's up to about $10, Short handed ring games up to about 50c

Been playing for - 2 years

My biggest win - Pretty consistant wins of 7-8x bankroll. Live generally
walk out with 500 from 80 start, rarely bust. Online bust in cash games a LOT more, too many fish.

Fav hand - J 2 suited, I will raise in any position and take everything

Why play? - I love the pantomime, the purity. Live games especially, I love just staring down people, waiting for the right time to pull the wool over somebody's eyes. I don't play to win big money, it's not going to happen with this level of bankroll. If I can walk out knowing that I'm the best player at the table, that at any time I can call your bluff, and know that there isn't a chance in hell that anybody can get a read on me, then my job is done.

Are these your words?

With the deletion of one sentence, it sounds like something from the teaser vids for the new season of High Stakes Poker.

wouldn't have a clue, don't watch it, hardly think my reasons for playing are that different to many here. I apologise for being able to string some sentences together .

As for my problem with the fishies, in theory they are simple, anyone can say they are a great poker player, ffs it's the internet, lower grade players get attached, they chase, 80% of the time it's beneficial for us, but it's that 20% that kills me, the 20% that might be worth more like 70%, and only encourages them to continue as they were. Get over yourself for being a prick.

I have no idea what you are on about. When players play bad, you make money in the long run. If you aren't making money in the long run, you have to ask yourself whether maybe the players are not as bad as you think they are.

In my experience (and that of many others), online play is much tougher than live. The live 200NL I played last night was equivalent of about 10NL online.

Get over yourself for being a prick.

gfy


p.s Also in my experience, anyone who claims to be making "pretty consistent" wins of 7-8x bankroll per session is lying. 60bb/100 anyone?

Just a bit of clarification, bankroll was in regards to live games. My bankroll everytime I turn up is 80, I make more than that, 80 goes back to the bankroll, and the rest to a seperate account to fund overseas holidays. By means am I saying that i make 700% on my money, that's just ludicrous. Anything else keyboard warrior?
