Lies, lies, lies!!!

I'm not the right person to ask this - my W$WSF is not very good. I will say that it's a mixture of tight preflop + aggro postflop.

Not running quads, it was set over set. So he has a ~5% chance of winning?

I had one just like that; don't have the HEM on this computer to print the image.

I had AK and the flop was AAK. Villain won with QQ. So that is basically 1 in 1000 to win.

Anyways, this villain seems worse than yours :P

Verneer I play on pokerstars exclusively but I decided to play rush poker yesterday to change things up. I was -10 buy-ins below ev through ~5,000 hands. FTP rigged? lol

^^stay away from rush, no money, every1s salad

Villain was 24/19. Not a good session right now ...

Lol NH, verneer could you upload your HUD file? Would be supernice!

LOL, nice! I was reading through this thinking "UTG+1 has top set! UTG+1 has top set!" Then I saw it didn't matter... Quad-mining FTW!

Ok so I saw this thread when it first opened a few months ago. I have always wanted to move up in the limits but I would either cashout or stick to SNGs. I was a micro baller with a good winrate at 10nl over many hands. So after seeing you do this i get inspired i make 200 then something comes up and i cash out some here and there yada yada.. After my last cash out I cant do anything i still think I am an above average player at these limits (10nl Rush FR) the last week i have been on Spring break and i have been getting my grind on hardcore. But the coolers absolutly killed me I have never thought of online poker as rigged, well maybe when i was a noob starting out but that was because i sucked. When i transitioned to rush I began to understand the concepts that you have to fold big hands to aggression sometimes. This week HAS BEEN BRUTAL! I was at 10nl then dropped 4BI and moved to 5nl make 8BI andmoved back up after i got my rakeback yesterday. and i am getting crapped on again.

These hand pretty much describe how I am running both within 10 min of eachother... i am not the one to moan about running bad but these type of hands have been going on for this whole downswing.

PS my gf just left and I just got on for a little sesh until she called me when she gets home now i am in such a bad mood this convo is going to suck. Oh yea Im from GA too Cumming to be exact.


thanks,
Gnarkill

what are the best posts to read from this year's and, in particular, last year's thread?

What a donk!

If I could hit half the 1 outers you hit every week in a year I would be happy. mbn to get paid off when you hit something. I'm going to give up on 25NL and just start playing SNGs again.

Hey Verneer, I have been following your thread here and watching your videos on CR. I have been giving 10nl FR rush a shot and have been pretty happy with my play but can't seem to make any money. I have attatched my graph, is it this common to run so far under EV or is this too small of a sample still?

very common, keep grinding.

It's not common (but much worse runs have been def documented), but it seems like you have winning fundamentals, so like deathorglory0 said - keep at it and you'll turn it around.

very standard. so standard it doesnt even tilt me.

Thanks man

I played a bit of 10nl rush this week... soooo standard:

Is there a reason why people seem to run so bad at Rush?

its rigged to generate more rake.

Played around 7K hands today, lost around 3 BI's. Overall crappy day. Apparently I suck at bluffing.
