The only game they had running was 1/1 and the PF action was pretty much limp or raise with premiums and they call you down with lol worthy hands. Live results are like +500-600£ atm not sure tho, does anyone know how to keep track of live profits?

Btw seen you at 100z yday, Are you moving there permanently?

Live is usually very soft the hardest part is not being bored/tolerating people, I bounce between pools a lot probably leaving stars if rakeback changes are really bad I think they come in 7th this month? will be interesting to see how it affects the pool numbers.

I heard somewhere that supernova will become 8% or something not sure tho.
probably gona kill the micro games with that ****. I don't really make a significant amount from rakeback so it doesn't really affect me much, but I'm waiting to see how it will affect the games, they could become harder and they could become softer not sure, we'll have to wait and see.

What poker sites would you move to if the pools get alot tougher?

Most sites have withdraw their services from Aus so my options are limited, will have to wait till the legal stuff is sorted and pray for a miracle.

Alright update time.

100z so far



I really don't want to complain but in the above hand sample I have been running very bad, I have been dealt 180 KK and overall I have a negative winrate of -47bb/100.
I've been playing very poorly recently which isn't helping. I still am 2 tabling for the most part expect these past couple of days where I just felt like 4 tabling.

This recent weeks have been the most frustrating part I have been playing alot of deep in the zoom pools and I'm either on the bad end of AAvsKK or I get setted which is really annoying. I really don't know how to overcome tilt when these things happen. I've definitely been coping with variance WAY WAY better than I use to, it's just when **** piles on like this it becomes very difficult to deal with.

Anyway back to studying and hopefully stuff will turn around in time.
Has anyone else noticed a change in the 100z pool? I dunno about anyone else I'm seeing way more reg fishes, fishes and whales they all got 500bb+ stacks tho lol.

I was planning to move sites with there being basically 0% rakeback, but if the games continue to be like they are I think it's worth it to stick around.

Accidentally wiped my database of all my hands, gonna import all my 100z hands and make a proper update when I get that done.

Online has been going well, been studying a bit and feel like my game is starting to improve. Looking into sizings atm and frequencies which is what I think the 100z pool sucks at the most. So many regs make bet sizing mistakes (including my self) and they don't protect their range when they need to.

Live poker
Been playing like poker for about 20-30 hrs? BI is 25-500 and the stakes are 1/1
I'm down somewhere between 50-100 which is pretty good considering how many times I got coolered in that time frame. Something that I was really sceptical about were the players, you see everyone saying live is super soft etc etc all tards etc etc... I didn't really believe it because I thought why would someone put £100+ down without knowing or having an idea of what they are doing? That just sounding really odd to me. Turns out they were correct live poker is literally a bunch of awful players. I played with the "best player" at the casino and I honestly would be surprised if he could beat 10nl online. The games are super passive and they literally don't have a folding range.


Had 1 guy slow roll me twice last night both is £200+ pots. The scum bag got FHvsFlush and FlushvsFlush and he tanked for about a minute both times and called. Now what tilted me wasn't the coolers but how he reacted when I told him to stop slow rolling. This is what is said after getting slow rolled to the dealer for the 2nd time "Can you get the floor to put something in place to get prevent this guy from slow rolling? This is just f*cking ridiculous". When I said that the ass hole got really loud and said I was being incredibly disrespectful which tilted me out of my mind. I told the guy slow rolling is one of the most disrespectful things you can do in poker and he replied with I play my game how I play it and you play yours. After a heated argument we where both told to leave which I wasn't at all happy about.

Rant over.
