I could find thousands of guys who would kill to become RM's clerk/apprentice, but only I hold the job so I must be doing something right... Have a nice day! -TheActionKid

Funny thread. ... tho... Come to think of it, if bighitter was the Anti-Hero of RM... bighitter may be a very "sane" guy in real person... Well... "sane" may not be a good word... umm... Socially Acceptable...
Wow this thread has been up for days and I just now saw it. LOL. RM is as bright as they come and a dear generous friend.
I'd actually like to hear some of Rearden's strategy on NL Texas Holdem. I think he's pretty kick ass at poker. I find poker frustrating (online anyway). So how about it RM, any pointers or tips?
Yes, I was consistently among the top five Party SNG earners for a while there. The best advice I can give at this point: Don't bother with it. The online poker easy money is long gone. The shark-to-fish ratio dried up over a year ago. Understand this: Unless you are literally one of the most talented poker players in the world, <b>poker is like driving -> If it's fun, you're doing it wrong!</b> Even if you were to put in your dues and become skilled enough to squeak out a miniscule positive EV expectancy- you'd also probably 'burn out' by then too, with poker becoming more of a tedious chore than an entertaining game. That said, back during the Golden Age of online poker (late '03 or early '04), I made a 1/2 hour audio recording outlining my strategy for beating the Party $200+15 and $100+9 NL SNG's for a steady income of 4-figures/day (playing 3 or 4 at once). I haven't been dealt a single poker hand in over a year, but I highly doubt this strategy is <b>anywhere near</B> as valuable as it used to be. If you can offer me something I really want in trade, I'll play the recording for you. Otherwise, Sklansky's books are pretty good. EDIT: One last thought- My hubris might have accelerated the collapse of Party's NL SNG fish-to-shark ratio. Some guy asked if he could post some of my hand histories on his website, and for some reason, I obliged. They are still up there today. My name was Frozen_Fish and the website is http://www.tightpoker.com/visitor_histories.html . I've heard that quite a few ambitious players have learned how to play by studying my public hand histories. One thing is for certain: Don't expect to see any of my <b>trading</b> 'hand histories' posted on the web!
I agree with you about the "having fun" part, funny thing is, I'm not not good (I can hang around a while) and still find it incredibly boring even when I'm up. Like you said its like playing checkers... But yeah, I already took your advice not to bother with it. I actually burned through my last 20 bucks tonight so I dont have any excuses to log on anymore.
RM knows his stuff when it comes to the markets. he speaks his mind. he has some interesting uncommon opinions. he is definitely one of ET's best members, imo.
