New software

[PokerWoody]

I've come into possession of some software which will go through my poker database and calculate my equity from all my all in hands. It then tells me how much money I should have won/lost. sounds cool eh?

Sooo, who think its gonna tell me i've been running shit good and acutally suck, and who thinks it's going to tell me the bastard poker people have been stealing my monies??

I'll report back with findings, just need to convert my database to postgres...meh...

Revising my beliefs based upon the evidence of the "bastards everywhere" thread I will guess that you have more utility dollars than actual dollars.

Dude, WTF?

How can my money difference be positive if I've only won one hand to the value of 75 cents?

How can that 75 cent pot even count when everyone folded and there was no all in HU confrontation? Surely the 'money won' is based purely on the money won at the end of a 2 way all in.

Do you have a fetish with the name Thor? U seem to mention me on a semi-regular basis when there is no need to.

'I'm a losing cash player, so my strategy is to buy in for $10 on a NL50 table and grind my stack to a mighty $14, poaching the steep blinds on a regular basis and then leaving... but not before I get the 'gg thanks for the cash' comment in.

My reasoning is this... 'Cash games are not actually games. There is no ending to these 'games' and thus they are not games in my eyes. Tournaments are a far superior form of poker and thus I specialise in these.'

[Dice Man]

I didn't think hard enough ahead to make that a minus rather than a plus. (Although I did factor the 75c into it ) Why does my software reveal me to have played no pots?

I haven't mentioned you for ages. I only brought this up because I thought you weren't around to see it. If I'd thought you might see it I would've been far too scared to post it.

[Thor2007]

Your poker database would show no pots played because the only pots that are counted are all ins. Ok, maybe there would be some....

Your 'money expected' would be very low considering ur normal buy ins and the number of hands you'd have played.

Anyway, stop mentioning Thor...

"only the mighty can mention such a legendary name. I am the one and only Thor, inferior species such as yourself should never refer to someone with such exceptional abilities."

^ LOL, I wonder who that sounds like. ^

p.s I'm up for some cash game action tonight on puk, I'll expect to see the usual names around. Maybe you could come along Diceman?

[Dice Man]

I've given up on online poker, cashed out of everywhere except poker.co.uk where I have about $11 which I'm waiting to donk or 10x up in a freeroll or VAT. I don't have enough time anyway since it's exam-season.
