My post-its:
"Pair on board = possible fullhouse"
"90% of NL5 players are unbluffable"
"One players raises preflop, another one re-raises, third guy re-re-raises = 3rd guy has AA"

So he can't play cash games? You seriously think MTT only helps your varience? Explain that one for me...even if its just for this character.

Um, did you notice the post-it that says he's up $83,000 in tourneys for 2006 and down $2,200 in cash games? That explains it all. He's not doing well in cash games and he's doing insanely good in MTTs. Also, after big losing sessions in cash games almost everyone from time to time feels like they should never play cash again, especially if they're predominately a tournament player. He most likely just sat at $25/50 NL stupidly and lost a buy-in and he's feeling horrible, especially since his wife just said she wants to have another baby. One of the notes says to never sit at $25/50 again. He'll almost certainly play cash again, but he wants to stay away from it for a while. One of the notes says "MTTs ONLY FOR DECEMBER." I don't understand your confusion. And no, I don't think that MTTs are better for variance than cash and I never said that or implied it. Some players are definitely just plain better at tourneys than cash, though. Look at Phil Hellmuth for the biggest example.

exactly, watch High Stakes Poker when the poker brat sits down, the word "yum yum" is all they can say, I myself am better at tourny play than cash games, and at this point in my learning of the game I find it hard to seperate the two, sometimes I play a tourny hand in a cash game and pay for it....but I only play 1/2 so it isnt a huge loss.

Nice try at backing out I guess and that could be a legit argument. I'm probably caring to much about that the spikey haired foo' wants to do but it seems you are setting him up to be a one dimentional poker player. Also, would one bad cash session put someone off that bad?

Maybe he (and you) should work on that dimension of your game and then you won't be so touchy. Damn.

You were talking nonsense. You implied that I said MTTs only helps variance and then said "nice try at backing out," which made no sense. And your latest comment also doesn't make sense, for many reasons. I should work on what aspect of my game? I try it all and suck at it all. Corbin tries it all and found something he's great at, so he's trying to stick with that so he can make as much money as possible.

You can't even resist flinging crap on your own forum when someone asks a simple questions. Anger management for Christmas maybe?

Your explanation is a "backout" for real poker common sense. Despite the myth, I doubt anyone BUT a fictional character could make 80K a year playing only online tournaments of "10K to keep their Pocket 5s rating up". Produce one, and I'll appologize. Just calling somone's argument stupid does not make you right.

Seriously, just turn this into another magna-videogame comic if you are going to skirt the edges of poker. I thought you had something going here.
