I like money

Ok I have been lurking forever here, and today I won a lot in fishy live omaha 5 games (those games are so fun + easy) so I am in a good mood to make a little education for our local hero "wobbly_au".

I will teach you a guide about "social guide". Think of it as the newbie guide, FROM 7 FIGURES TO SOCIAL LIFE, same as we have for stacraft.
So wobbly listen because such education might not come everyday : When talking to anyone, you are playing against a RANGE of people. Some of them are dumb, other are smart, some are egoistic, others dont care etc.

So lets analyse your play against different common range :

- For the dumb people, you just look like a incredibly pedantic guy.
It is like coming to a black reggae party and shouting I AM GENETICALLY THE SUPERIOR RACE I WON SO MANY RACE SUPERIORITY CONTEST I AM THE RACIAL KING. And anyway, how good your "proof" of smartness is, they wont get it so eitehr will think you lie or just think you are an asshole.
In IRL you would be beaten to death. Just trashed on forum. Much better I agree. However from experience personalities from forum tends to reflect real life personalities, minoring eventual IRL shyness
So very bad play versus this range.

- Versus the smart guys range, those that won awards as well, ranked national in SC with few training, being generally talented in everything etc. you just sounds like someone that has self esteem issue and need to prove himself. The more you try to prove yourself, the more pathetic it get.

The only thing you show us is that you have not learn this basic social skill that even if you think you outsmart everybody, it is almost always better to not show it off. Even in interview or dating where YOU HAVE to show that you are smart the indirect way is much more efficient. Trying to sell it outright is overselling yourself.

So basically no matters how good your poker skills are, you sound like that dumb autistic guide that can paint the eiffel tower blindfolded but can not talk. Meaning your intellect seems to be limited to some specific aera

I suggest you spend some time optimising your ranges in differents situations.
Take a look a our others LP heroes, their social range are extremely well balanced and thus they end up being loved by everybody

Of course you might not even care about opinion. But that would be an obvious lie, since the mere fact that you spend many lines trying to justify yourself of your skill imply that you do care enough to try and earn some social whatever

No hate mate !

Hello guys,

I have not posted here in a very long time because I lost the password and just did not bother as this was anyway just a procrastination source for me. However, due to recent event, I wanted to blow some anger and steam towards one of the player here : genjix.

cliffs :
- lost 60k$ due to the extreme incompetence of some people, one of them being a ex poster here genjix
- Have been a long time lurker here so even though nobody know me I know you :D I basically know everybody here
- I have been a "professionnal" poker player for roughly 3 years before finally getting too bored with it and getting back to the real world.

Ok now for the longer story.

The bad stuff :

Some of you may have heard about bitcoins.
I was storing bitcoins in a exchange / bitcoin bank called "bitcoinica" for a sum that now amounts to roughly 60k$ (5021 btc)

Genjix was one of the operators and owner of the website, and leaked the source code of the website where there was a password in PLAIN TEXT and UNCRYPTED in those sources that allowed a subsequent theft by a hacker.

This allowed a theft of rougly 1/3 of the bitcoins, which amounted to around 450k$. The funds are now locked due to total inaction of genjix and the others co owners.

My life and the one of some others have been pretty crused by this event, and they showed very little care, nor show a lot of guilt. Like "whatever I lost 400k, it wasnt mine so life goes on !"

Just wanted to let you know.

Even though I am not poor, this is still a huge amount of money and you can bet how angry I am.

Ps :

I still read likidpoker and know most personnality and drama around here.

I would probably not have been a "pro" if it was not for you guys.

I think my favorite posters are MiPwnYa & Daut

MiPwnYa is such an amazing poster...
The kind of guy you can only wish happiness as he look like both generous and fun, always sharing and never in contempt.
I still remember a long time ago I won a VIP tourney of stars for like 2k and he almost won the other one (the one for supernova) the same day

The posters that shaped the most how I play are people like Daut (which is very good at explaining his thought process) and Myth (that was good at thinking outside the box, probably too much ). At the time when I was a beginner, those 2 guys really opened my mind.

I have followed the epic adventure of Floofy, Nelly, the "coach" controversy of myth, and everything else. I used to play those weird betting game with Floofy.
The guy has an endless imagination despite all the others issue he have at seduction

Best luck to everyone here. I love you guys

Ps : I forgot to say that I browse the ROFL thread like 20 times a day. This thread is just AWESOME

PS 2 :
I wonder why people like Daut who won 1m+ at some point still bother with grinding low stakes for amounst like 10k / month.
With 1 million, that amount can be made without effort in financial market, thats basically the average expected return of financial markets.
