Yes indeed it does.
Haven't quite figured out reports yet, but have paid $0.83 so far, and running at 13bb/100 (only 500 hands) so working out quite well.
It's an awful site though.
Full ring of nits and sometimes 1 maniac stacking off pre with A9+ which is what's kept me in profit.

Re: July Beginners Bankroll Thread

graph for the month so far:


Been playing mostly 5nl along with a bit 2nl and 10nl. I'm ganna have to earn 170 VPPs to keep silver before the end of the month. besides that i played about 5 MM events including the main (bough ticket with FPPs) and sunday storm special (had ticket). got nothing going and busted early in both. didn't end up cashing in anything which was disappointing but at least cash games are going good!

I've been running pretty bad recently + playing bad + Not doing any study - Going to change all that next month.
Welcome back sir


Last night session went as bad as could have. Hopped into 4PLO full stacked before rage-quitting after dropping 3 buyins in the most retarded way possible.

Note to self; get into zone a while before not just like 30min-hr and start off easy by buying in short and go from there

Did win back most of it playing SNGs but they don't load on Lock and do want to make this Omaha thing work

        Looks like 99, JJ or possibly AJ/A9 out of the range he'd flat with. 44 and other lower pp he probably would have folded on flop so thats unlikey.
        Think I would fold.

        Yeah i am really hating life on the turn, he had a cold call of 3% so i didn't think AJ is in his PF range and he had a 3bet of 5.5% so was pretty sure he would be 3betting AA and JJ. 99 was really all that made sense.

        Hmm, at first I thought that's a snap call, then I saw the size of his bet!
        Crazy to put such a a huge overbet in.
        Any reads on villain? Does he try to bully people out of pots with his big stack?
        I played a similar hand (posted on previous page actually) recently where I had QK, flopped 2 air and turned a FH.
        Villain had a lower FH so I got his stack.

        A 100bb stack I'd definitely call.

        He was running 39/29 over 97 hands SH,and was the most aggro player at the table. Not supper aggro just enough to get on you t@ts, you know the sort.

        Difficult to hand read people like that.
        Most likely he had AQ or K9.
        If his 3bet % is high, you can probably rule out AQ.

        He had a 3b of 3% so pretty low.
