FAILING AT THE MID LEVELS
lost £2200 today at $10/$20 betfair. i'm burning through minimum buyins but i still think min-buying is an ok approach. i played about 30mins of crypto and made £10. roll down to £8400.

If you are playing min buy-ins all the time you should probably just learn omaha.
At least then you usually either side of a 60/40 and never more than a 30/70 dog all in pre-flop.
Personally i think you should play full buy-ins on NLHE tables. If you are an aggressive maniac, which is what comes across in your posts, you absolutely need a stack to retain some fold equity. This is essential. Otherwise what do you have?? Nothing. You are just gambling trying to get lucky.
If you want to have any sort of edge in the game you need a big stack to put pressure on other players.
At least try one full buy-in at $2/$4 or $3/$6, i guarantee you will either lose it or else be four buy-ins deep within an hour or two. And at this rate what is $600.
The guy treats poker like any other casino game, its obvious he can´t hope real success
because of his compulsive and addictive gambling mind.Money waisted and satisfaction guaranteed...till next day.But probably that´s the fun he is playing for.
"You are just gambling trying to get lucky."
Tell him something he doesn't already know.
Ed, one bit of advice I wish you would listen to:
PLAY OTHER SITES!!!!!!!!!!!
Why the fuck would you chose to play on Betfair when you could be on iPoker where nobody knows you and the games are super-super-soft? Greeks and Italians with no clue whatsoever. It's one of the biggest networks, bigger than PartyPoker at the moment.
If you play through Betfred the payment system's as good as on Crypto and you'll get your cashouts the day after next.

Was playing on betfair last night and noticed you on a 10 20 table. Loved the way you played your poket jacks. Ten high flop came down and you pushed in and got the call. Also when you flopped the trips 7s amd pushed in the pocket 55s were very lucky to hit a straight. That would have been a 4k pot and you were unlucky there. Hope you have a positive session next time out.
Anyone know what is screenname is on Betfair?
Its supa_grass
damn, i just went bust after 2 months of roll building, had an awful day lost 2 big pots and gambled it all heads up with nothing...so stupid!!! ed, if u feel its gettin on top of u and u feel desperate to play to win plz take a 3-5 day break, dont lose your head like i did!! ill be back in 2 weeks tho....... my blog is called poker injuries by the way!
Just supagrass. No underscore.
ED: Thanks for saying hello on Betfair earlier when I railed you.
I said something like "Hey Ed - I'm a big fan of your blog - keep up the good work" and you replied "Thanx JT"
That was a very nice touch as a lot of poker players think people in the rail are scum and ignore them.
Just goes to show what a top guy you are, Ed.
I didn't stay to watch the table so
I hope you did ok tonight.
By the way if you have 8 grand left why not take half into your bank manager toward the house.
Believe me Ed a few years down the line you'll be delighted you kept the house.
fuck it be yourself
oh yeh supagrass, well I was close

Maybe you need the other 12% of concentration to win
Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit.
you're style of play is aggro, very aggro - therefore, chips are your amunition, you're not gonna make people fold to a min buy-in, so without fold-equity you just have to run hot. simple as mate!
aver heared of anyone beating 10/20 with min buy-ins?
LOL
IM BACK

Stranger - love the rabbits foot saying. Gotta use that!
Ed, make sure you take some time off to play gta4 when it comes out. Might help your game!
Wonder will there be a casino in the new GTA game like in san Andreas?
Made millions then!
