Bugs me !

Minecraft isn't actually a game though.

How does one fight the urge to go to 30/60 when one is losing and playing badly? Am I the only one even afflicted with said urge?

I once read that this type of pseudo-Martingalining escalating-stakes addiction gambling stems from a desire to punish oneself. Punishment for what, I'm not sure, but I think this describes me and perhaps half of the fish roaming around casinos and wherever else.

Not a tilt post, just idle thoughts. Haven't even played 30 or 20 yet.

why don't you count cards? hella easy to learn and can play any limit you like. used to be my ultimate tilt control. get to play every hand, get all the variance you can ask for and never have to fold. only drawback is you might get banned from playing poker too if you push it too hard. happened to me. btw, do you drink a lot while playing? i used to drink like a fish while i played and made me a lunatic. lose one 20/40 pot and try to get everybody to play red/black for $100 every flop with 3x pay on mono flops. don't drink anymore tho thanks to ulcers. no more red/black, no more craps, no more annoying everybody at the table...

Played in an Indian casino that had flop props you played against the house. It had the betting circles and payouts right on the felt. You put a bet down and got paid x to 1 for a 3 card flush, y to 1 for a straight, z to 1 for trips, etc. All black or red was a push. I'm sure it was massively -EV.

I've seen those at IP back in the day, I think the pay table is the same as the 3 card poker bonus.

Buy new Mason book, learn about variance and stop focusing only about money.

If you really want to know, keep most of your roll in bitcoins and only keep say 50-80 bets online, treat it as a daily stop loss. You can reload instantly with. I fees and you won't have enough online to tilt at bj sports, 30 or whatever.

Sure you could just redepoIt and do it but I think generally having to takes a break and redepoIt is usually a good mental buffer.

You do have tk deal wkth weekly currency swing a which can be quite extrem, but should be positive long term anyways

Take it down Dalla. #WSOPMainEvent

busted my account; gonna withdraw my last 750

too many guys I'm clearly better than just keep having the better hand at 20/40 and 30/60

I don't even think I'm great, but these guys are just so so so bad. Yet they are rich. And I am destitute. Their hands are mostly face-up by the turn even somehow in HUHU play with what should be ultrawide ranges and I still can't win.

Also not ideal to play these games with 50 bets. Well, it was 150 once at least.

Back to plotting the home invasion and robbery of some bourgeoisie corporate scum. Unlike worthless poker players playing a game of chance and strategy, they earn their money The American Way, you know, through exploiting and disenfranchising poors and minorities.

I don't mean to compare myself to Robin Hood, but the above would be a thoroughly Robin Hood-esque act.

maybe I just want to be famous

Elo, you have about a 70-85% chance to go busto playing huhu with 50 BBs against a non-fish even if u are way better. If your opponent is semi-competent, you are almost guaranteed to go busto.

Btw, I love Donnie. Donnies make our lives so much better. Let's all take a moment to stop and appreciate the Donnies of our worlds.

P.S. - Networth is the underground GOAT lhe poster.

Play under-rolled, get crushed by short-term variance, complain how unfair it is, repeat. You should have enough behind you so a 100BB swing is irrelevant, at least 500BB, preferably closer to 1000BB. It doesn't matter how good your on-table skills are if your bankroll management is awful, taking shots under-rolled with no discipline is setting yourself up for failure. Those aren't accidental words, you're deliberately failing and it's baffling to see it happen every time I lurk this thread!

Bankroll management is a skill just like any other, you can't repeatedly say you're "better" than opponents when you have one glaring hole in your game that you refuse to address.

Apologies if the above is too personal, sincerely trying to help! I moved on to other games years ago and seems like every time I check out this forum there's some variation on the above.

UG now on ignore.

You want to be recognized as the GOAT above ground LHE poster?

Elo should fly to Vegas and play the LHE machine. Then he doesn't have to worry about a rigged site and yet doesn't have to play with humans. Maybe the best part is that if he's winning he can play as fast as he wants because the other "players" don't tank or stall.

The ignore feature on internet forums is so disappointing imo. I mainly read 2p2 while not logged in meaning that I always see the obnoxious trolltard posts anyway.

You need to script ignore:

There's still hope for us yet.. #resultsorientedforamerica

perfect

They're saying wsop.com has LHE at high enough stakes that you can earn Diamond or even Seven Star player status. Seven Star is the top of the heap and comes with a big pile of benefits, like a free yearly cruise, a trip to any of the Caesars casinos in the world, a free room anytime you want in any Caesars hotel, $500 in dinner vouchers every year, 2 free show tickets every month, etc.

I think it's only in NV though, so you'd pretty much have to move.

I was wondering where ZOMG played poker because it's not at Bellagio . . .

So, they give you a bunch of stuff that is only redeemable at one of their own properties? I assume that the underlying premise is that you spend more money on stuff within their properties that is not covered in these benefits.

I'm not sure why I am complaining, as this stuff is obviously super-standard. I think maybe it was the manner in which you posted this stuff, like you're some kinda volunteer PR lackey.

Stars had the kindness to offer you stuff that they didn't actually make and presumably had to pay to obtain.

Also, can Sheldon Adelson hurry up and die already? That odious mother****er ...

Prince, Ali, David Bowie, Kimbo Slice, that funny lady from Everybody Loves Raymond, Phife from A Tribe Called Quest, and ok this list is getting less prestigious but the point remains that all these people are dead yet Adelson and Trump are still around and still making people's lives miserable ...

Rupert Murdoch is old as dirt too.

Jimmy Carter is still around!

I don't understand how this is true assuming short-ish sessions. If one is continuously playing that stake with 50BBs, sure, but if I'm playing 3/6 and 4/8 with a 300-600BB roll for 90+% of my volume and then only playing 30 minute tilt sessions of 20 and 30, surely I'm not going broke 4 out of 5 times.

Edit: I just realized that most of the tilt sessions come huhu or 3-handed, not full ring, because the game hasn't filled up by the time I inevitably run ultra-terrible and bust. That obviously changes the equation.

If this is true, then I had to have been like a 500-to-1 shot against building the roll that I did. I suspect that it was probably closer to 50-1, maybe as low as 25-1 given my compulsion to play infinite hours. This "fact" is thoroughly depressing, as it implies that I only ever had significant money through a combination of luck and obsession. I would like to feel that throughout all these years I have used my mind to achieve something!

No, thank you. All of what you said is obviously true. I know that. It's an ego thing and an addiction thing. I wouldn't mind being stone broke if some of these regs would go broke too and/or admit that they suck at poker just as much as I do.

It's never about money for me. Money is dumb.

wtf are you on about; "rigged sites", lol.

Anyway, I have no interest in further lining the pockets of these scumbag businesspeople, and I'm aware that those bots play quite well.

The part about not having to interact with any humans is a strong selling point, though. Humans are the worst.
