Sitting at Biggle10's table: + or - ev?

[alanpsych]

I saw Biggle10 on an UB $2/4 table the other night (Wed?), and noticed there was a seat open. My move? I ran away like a little girl. Was this a good move?

Choice 1 obviously.

I give my self a 80% chance of spotting you if name is the same.

I'm SLAGish anyway. Not that tight.

But since we play poker for profit it is probably better not to have too many good players at the table.

At some tables online it can loosen up the game quite a bit. Especially during promotional periods many sites become infested with Rock-Sheriff crossbreeds. These guys aren't going to play any more than they have to, but they'll die before letting you "steal" a small pot. They're the worst sort of school to me, because getting anything out of them when you have a big hand is like pulling teeth, and with a marginal hand you couldn't get them to drop their cards if they had a scorpion cling to them.

Add in a couple "suckers" who actually bet at pots though, and they'll start contributing money themselves.

Well, I kinda regret not doing it. I see forum members so seldom, it would have been a welcome change. I got skeered.

Scotty: +EV similar to Goofy. I play better because I know these guys are serious about their poker and I don't want them to see me do anything stupid.

No, actually playing with me live is EV+ because of my inexplicable talent for putting young Spanish aggromaniacs on extreme tilt. All you have to do is stand downstream and collect the cash that washes up.
