Hmm, interesting, watching a guy stream online poker, running 4 tables at once. I can barely keep up with him, but then I remember talking to my brother's friend who used to play online poker as his main source of income. He said that once he gets warmed up he was running 25+ tables parallel for omaha hi-low. Which fucking blows my mind, cuz it's hard enough to keep up spectating 4 tables, much less play out 25+ parallel tables.

If this guy streaming is any good, I'm pretty sure he could easily be running way more tables in parallel right now.

Aren't you just lowering your hand variance thus flipping through the tables quite quickly. Playing anymore than 5 tables depending on your skill all you would do is lower your hand acceptance to pockets, suited connectors in the high range( 9-10 and up) and AK, AQ. Probably avoid KJ A10 unless you were feeling it. To me, I hate that style because it just seems lame and rather boring. But then again online poker is extremely fucking boring since you can't see the faces of the people you are playing against when you flip over your 4-5 suited connectors and beat them when they have king's or aces.

I use to play casino poker 5 days a week and was pretty decent at it.

Edit: you wouldn't even be really playing poker. Playing that many tables would just be hoping for high chance of winning pocket cards and hoping for the best.

How much is an Android tablet? I don't particularly want an iPad, but I don't even know anything about Android versions.

Surface Pro 3 yo.

But if only Android, most Samsung tabs do ok and Nexus too.

Interesting, you can pause in drafts in dota apparently using the console.

that's possible how he played, but still impressive to me, especially considering the double hand nature of omaha hi lo

he was one of those guys who was really smart, but a super slacker in school.

LP-dude, I'm gonna need you to explain that more clearly. @_@ What's a connector, when your cards form a series?

Oh goodness. Throwing down a Mal'Gannis and then following it up with a Jarraxxus is so glorious.

Does that make your weapon 5 attack and your hero 17 HP?

constructed for me is 50% warrior. i've been playing warrior to climb back up and i'm meeting so many mirrors lol

edit: ugh this guy relied on rng to win and actually did it.
won the 50/50 by brawling his cruel task master vs my gnomash (if my gnomash lived I would've killed him)
then got my belcher instead of acolyte in 50/50 with sylvanas in the fatigue war at the end.

also i've been counting warriors and I've met 8 warriors out of my last 10 matches. is warrior op now or something

Warrior is just pretty solid against everything currently. Similar to druid in that respect. I face mainly druids but a mismash of mechmage/zoo/hunter too. Only played 2 warriors and both were pretty terrible. Burning shield slam on my mad scientist etc.

I've had an enemy need a 1/5 chance of rag hitting my face to win and it happening but then again I've had guys killing a molten giant instead of mountain giant when they know I play duplicate while having 2 secrets up.

I opted for the Galaxy Tab S for xmas over the Surface 3. I can let you know how it is if you haven't bought anything in a week.

Obviously. just a pain in the ass, now I need to start backing up data. I got it started and it mostly works(?) but I've got tons of data to back up now.

Well it entirely depends on what part of your computer is dying! If your hard drive is still good you can salvage that and not have to back up a bagillion things
