Re: The Mole Just as well ive found you £19 a night travelodges mate innit!

[gavham]

Re: The Mole

I hope you have stopped getting all the bad beats?? :ok

I've had a dreadfull 2 months ( i suppose it had to happen sometime) wouldn't mind so much but the bad beats fairly knock my confidence. I have spoken to quite a few winning players who are saying the same thing, one in particular from Denmark was telling me he felt some of his beats were just unreal so he looked back and analysed his HH the last 100 hands where he was going in as a big favourite he lost 90, usually its the other way around. I found much the same. On the brighter side i seem to be on a good run at the moment at the lower stakes and my hands are holding up so perhaps the worst is over :) Also one of the other big players and myself have a little challenge going we both opened a new account and deposited 200 euro on wednesday, i played 2 sessions on it yesterday and i'm now at 2200 euro he is at 1100, we only play for the same amount of time. I have found this to be good for me and my game as it brings back the confidence and it makes me knuckle down a bit more.

New account= New Nic = no one has "poker tracked" you. Easy money eh? What stakes did you run that up in? Tidy sum to us mere mortals;)

[aldric]

Re: The Mole Sorry to hear about your bad run but on the positive side it must be nice to get the 'winning' feeling back again and give you confidence for going forward :ok As Glceud said, if people don't know you it makes it a whole lot easier!!

Re: The Mole

New account= New Nic = no one has "poker tracked" you. Easy money eh? What stakes did you run that up in? Tidy sum to us mere mortals;)

I started at 25/50 c two tables and one 1/2 table with 100eu left this table with 1200 so decided to stick to 1/2 for now. Next session i will probably look for a good 5/10 table and go in half stack see how that goes. Apart from what you said The other benefit i have is i have played at all the levels, so i understand the game at each one, its a lot easier than climbing up into the unknown.

Especially as from what I read you didn't have strict bankroll management initially?

In a way you are right but its quite amazing how serious i was taking it , the first pot i won was 22 eu and i was delighted. I think its a good way of grounding myself and taking it all more serious as i was getting a bit carried away with myself thinking i was invincible ( thats another reason for losing so much). So i think this challenge can only do me good. BR management is all about how you feel personally i don't think there should be a black and white rule on it, so long as you can afford to lose then its down to yourself how much risk you want to take.

So i think this challenge can only do [/quote'] I am impressed you are able to do that as the 22 Euro is not for off the big blind in your usual game :loon I think thats everyones problem the more they win (no matter whether its poker of chess!) the more confidence they get until you invariably get way too confident / cocky. I assume there are many people that have got to your level in the past and have started losing but have been too stubborn to drop down to get their game back. Nice one :ok PS are you going to the PL meet in Edinburgh?!

Re: The Mole

the Mole hi guys, its my first post, I was reading a questions and answers thread about the Mole last night, but i want to get back to it now and just cannot remember how, could someone help please i think it was from 3 years or so back thanks

Re: the Mole :welcome to the Lounge Is this the thread you're looking for? The Mole

[luckyflop]

Re: the Mole hya GotaFancy, yes thats the one thanks, I see now its just below on this page, i was searching years back, plus the site is really big and I didnt know where to start but thanks again, its a very good read, and can take you into the mind of a mid/high stakes cash player, I play cash and tornys, my cash games range from 50c/1$nl to$2.50/$5 and have found succsess at grinding 10 seater games out, but the real money is in the short handed games this is why i am trying to study the moles game, although his game is attack and not grinding that will take alot of ajusting to, ok thanks again for your help

Re: the Mole I think trying to copy the mole is very difficult - he's lucky in that he's naturally gifted at poker - he's only ever deposited $50 once (I think :unsure) and turned that into his millions!! He doesn't study poker, he doesn't analyse his game - he just instinctivly knows the right thing to do - instinct isn't something that can be copied - and for the rest of us it will take a lot of study and hard work to get to half the level he's at.....

Re: the Mole I own erdnase :ok

[luckyflop]

Re: the Mole

I own erdnase :ok

wow m8 where is he playing his poker at now? it must 3/4 years since I saw him online, thought when the old VC changed over everyone changed thier names can you tell me what limits he is playing now and is he still very much a big winner, we are talking about the same erdnase here he is Scottish

[BAM]

Re: the Mole I play against an erdnase2 on ipoker mainly at 1/2 level. I only have a 1000 hands on him but I have him as a losing player, a bit too lag, he doubled me the other night thats how why I remember the name

[luckyflop]

Re: the Mole i really cannot see that being him he was a player that earned around 3k/5k a week playing $2/4 and alot more when he moved up the stakes
