because honestly, who knows.

Well, I joined Merge and it hasn't been shutdown yet, so that's a good sign. Last year I tried something similar when I signed up for DeucesCracked on April 9, 2010...

hope everyone had nice holidays! good luck this year in whatever you do.

You too BBB.

Err, I meant April 9th 2011

hi all

Nick (Hood) is collecting PokerStars limit holdem HHs as part of his preparation for going to the PokerStars summit to work on the rake issues (has been blowing up on 2+2 lately and you may have heard about it ). He especially needs .25/.50 and lower, and 10/20 and higher. please anyone who can do so, send him your hands - nick@pokerfuse.com

thanks

edit: everything will remain anonymous obviously. he is just calculating some rake stuff. for more info feel free to talk to him or check out the threads in 2+2 micros, SSSH

Normally play $.25/.50. Logged in and saw a $1/2 game with three fish who play 45/10 [vpip/pfr]. Took my first shot that high after getting the seat with two of them to my immediate right!

Obv proceeded during the first 100 hands to run like you'd expect--with showdown stats of 42/12 [wtsd/w$sd] for a 50BB downswing .

Stuck it out and over the next 70 hands only finished down 15 BB total . Had no idea till the session was over it was that bad. Thank you tilt-blocker/careful positioning of my PT3 hud!

Still mad I paid 2BB in rake
