Stan is the best player I've ever played against, by far. He also cashed 9k+ in one night at gemini* that's 30 buy ins........... In one night.
For 1 3, 100bb is my goal and just under my two year avg. I really strongly feel that based on game selection alone it can easily be much higher than this.
For 1 2, I'd imagine its about the same, maybe a little more, but I've only played about 4 months of 1 2, and I hate it.
My goal is always 1 buy in, no matter what game I play in.
At this point stan really just sounds like a myth. I remember this conversation the other day.
Player: Stan would just raise to 11 every hand.
Me: Ummm, i can't believe the table let him get away with that.
Player: He's so good he can get away with it.
Me: Yea, If he's within 4 seats to my right and raising ATC he's gonna lose a lot of money
Player: But he plays poker on a higher level. He plays your hand not his.
Me: I really don't care. I can beat a random hand.
And another one.
Player: Stan would just purposely dump 2k into a game so he could use the 70% rule and win it back and more.
Me: ......yea.... bad strategy.
doubt you can outplay shovebots.
Joking, right?Quote:

Mine is usually between 2 and 3 BIs, but it depends how I'm feeling.
Not doubting you were told this, but that's not the Stan I knew/played against. He didn't raise to x every hand ... he mixed everything up .. which is exactly what a good player does. He was definitely solid and probably the best player I played against at Gemini.Quote:

Can't tell you how many ignorant comments like that I heard about Young Gun: He doesn't care until he's 3k into the game; he'll dump 2k into the game just to get the stacks deep and then he plays.
As for the giant cashes ... I've also heard Lenny having 5-figure cashes on several occasions. I also saw him up 5k-7k and then go home busted.
I don't have a stop loss for live cash. It seems like when I'm stuck 3-5 buyins there is usually gonna fish that is so deep it would be crazy for me to leave. I leave the second I make a bad call/bad bet though.
