Went to the casino again to play 2/2: lost 774$. Pretty ****ing pissed off with myself.
Can't be normal to lose this much multiple times in single sessions in 2/2.




Live result: -3.618$

Shipped the 7,5$ bubble rush today for a bit under 500$. Small score but fun nonetheless

Lost another 714$ at 2/2 today. Pretty insane how bad I probably am at live cash games, even though it seems the general level is just so horribad. Maybe I should just give up on them, even though I really feel like I should be able to do better.

Live result: -4.332$

I'd be interested to hear about some hands, if you have any tilt tendencies after either losing a big pot or x amount of buy-ins and just anything additional to get an idea of your live experience.

Based on some of the hands you've posted previously, I think it's possible that you're too loose and aggressive in the 2/2 games. More than a few of the hands posted itt have been spew. If you're doing stuff like that in games where players don't like folding bottom pair, you're going to have some crazy swings.

gl op, 5 star thread material based on savers alone

Seems like you're consumed by your emotions, I learned that poker is about being cold when making a decision, more when you play loose, playing loose important achievement is to tilt YOUR opponents, not yourself, try to leave and check your ego at the door, feel very humble when playing.

I equate 2/2 live NL to .01/.02 NL online. Except it's tough to beat online for over 10 BB/hr. Just focus on playing tighter but more aggressive. Calling OOP is probably the biggest leak I see on a daily basis. You're probably making one or two big mistakes pre that make it difficult for you to play post flop.

Thanks for all the motivational words.

I went back another time tonight and lost 4 buyins .

Wrote down 4 hands:
1. Co KTo: i raise to 16 over limps. 3 callers flop 752 i cbet half pot, sb raises i fold

2. 5 limpers i have KQs in bb i raise to 22 guy utg jams for 78 i call he shows AQs(i win)

3. Double straddle: i raise big to 48 one caller flop j77 i bet 40%, turn 4 i bet 75%, river q i jam like 500 he snaps T7o (like 8 or 900 eur lost)

4. I raise J9hh 14 eur, sb 3bets 36 eur flop kk6hh. He cbets i jam for his 180 stack he calls and holds with aces.

So yeah, hand 3 was so super spewy and bad it's just insane.

So ****ing bad I can't even beat live 2/2 lol fml.
Not feeling too happy right now .

/rant.

Live result: -5.132$

----------------

Action plan:
1) Study the game
2) Beat online cash or just play MTTs since you can already beat those (probably)
3) Work on mental and physical health

what did u have on hand 3

Curious also what you had on hand 3, I don't mind 2 and 4, don't cbet 1.

My bad, I had KTo.

The stress from my future 'career' choices and (live) poker not going so well, in combination with some kind of sleep deprivation because of my live poker-based degenerate sleep schedule is giving me health palpitations and all of that nasty stuff.

I decided to take it a bit more slow today. I studied some and played 1200 hands. I found myself a bit tilted during the sessions because of how terrible and clueless I really am at cashgames. Made some money in the end somehow.

I am very bad at resting but maybe I'll my best to do it a bit more the next few days.
Health is the most important thing a person can have but a lot of people neglect it for a variety of reasons.

Today's graph:

Health palpitations = heart palpitations ofcourse. Jeez haha.

PS: down about 16 buyins at 5nl so far.

Went back to the casino yesterday and today. Didn't feel I ran really good, not unhappy with my game overall but still lost 670$ over these two days.

Live result: -5.802$

Still, it's a rediculous amount to be down at 200NL and I'm putting the live dream on hold for an indetermined amount of time for sure.


edit: I know this thread comes across kind of depressing so far. However, I don't want to update solely when things are going well.
I want to be honest

Just played this little gem. When he donks flop like that I put him on a lot of flushdraws, QJ, 87, Tx, 9x and low pair kind of hands. Don't think calling it off on the turn is too great, but I thought he might take this line with all his drawy hands.



I'll try to make an effort and post some more hands. Most likely losing hands because I can learn the most from those.

I'm determined to turn my 5nl results around.

Meh, maybe just call turn idk tho raise is def fine as well

I'm not a big fan of complaining about running under EV etc, so I won't . However, I just reached breakeven EV for 5nl and I'm pretty stoked about it. My graph definitely seems to reflect the progress I have been making the last week or so. Hope I can continue the strong upward trend.

I'll work on improving my redline in the future, but for now I'll just be happy beating these stakes and moving up.

APRIL recap

I went back to the casino twice. First time I won 216€, next time I lost 740€.
Live result: -6.326$

5nl April, didn't play too much volume since I also played some MTT sessions and went to the casino a few times:


Career-wise I am still very clueless and haven't really decided what to do.

Thanks for reading .
Warning! A lot of spoilers, because I want a lot of heat.

Happy with the amount of volume I've put in so far this month. I'm getting better, but I still run too many bluffs/bluffs(/spazzes?) in some spots I think. Need to work in that!

Check out all the top micro crushers graphs. You will see the red-line way way below zero and the blue one to be up.
You know whay?
Mistake propensities on micros are nost likely from "Calling too much" not the otherway around.
I figured it out after spewing about 40-50 BIs in micros and finally in the last month I'm seing the change!
I had a very positive redline before and now I have a negative one!
I was losing before,I'm winning now!
Check out blackrain79.com
Mostly the articles... Vids are a bit outdated.
Cheers

For sure. Definitely agree with that. I call too much cbets I think (F2CB = ~42%) and call way too much in general as well. You're right that I shouldn't focus on the redline too much at these stakes.

I just had a pretty funny session . Over the course of 200 hands I lost a rediculous amount of all ins where I had the best hand. Not even mad, just amazed haha.


Considering shotting the casino for another 2 buyins soon.

Yesterday I went to play 1/1 at a home game.
Lost 350$, mostly thanks to losing QJ<AA all in on J43Q.

Today I went to the casino for another 500$ shot. Had 77 in limped 8-way pot:
Flop AQ8 everyone checks,
turn 7 utg bets 14$ into 16, 3 callers I raise to 58$ one guy calls.
river 9 guy jams for pot, I call and he flips over JTo.

A few hands after that I lost the rest of my stack QQ<AA aipf.


It's really infuriating that I have to run this way, because I feel like these live games are so god damn soft. However, I don't really have much $ left to go play live anymore now . If anyone wants to stake me let me know

Live result: -7.176$

Online is going pretty well. I think I'll move up to 10z soon enough. #jinx

Man you stole my girl Sierra Skye.

Gl with your livepoker money chasing.

NL5 looks good, did you make some changes?

Haha, I wouldn't do that .

Thanks sir. I hope I can start winning live sometime (soon please?).

As for the changes at 5NL, I guess I've been spewing just a little bit less than usual?
------------------------------

After "only" 49.756 hands I feel like I'm finally beating 5z so starting from today I'm going to play 10z .

Total 5z graph:


Month:

Obviously started at 10z down 3-4 buyins . Let's hope I don't go on a 20 bi downer this time to start things off.
