Sad world we live in. Can only dream of a massive 200 country player pool full of fishies, poker open to all. Instead it's going in the opposite direction. We getting shutdown

good news every day!!

Bring back USA, one time

And France, Spain and Italy!

We're basically going in the direction of those dystopias you see in futuristic movies where the government controls everything you do.

Here in Brazil they were trying to make a law to ban restaurants from putting salt on their tables, because salt is "bad" for health.
lol

Can't be a reg surely (esp with that stack size) ?

He's a shortstacker. So guess you're half right

Scummy reg then

Ridiculous fold either way.

no need to be a guru, it's not quite banned yet. Still has to have another amendment debated before they do the vote. There's a small chance they don't vote on it before end of the senate sitting next week which would give us a few more months. As is the law will take about 1 month to come in to effect after being voted on so stars and the others will likely hang around until forced to leave.

As for sites, America Cardroom and tiger gaming will be the only ones offering games to aussies i imagine. Games are still pretty good there.

Some seriously spewy Russians n Aussies in today's pool. We can't lose these guys

What, we barely played a hand together.

Does the 25nl zoom pool seem way softer to you now than it did a year ago?

The aussies have been out in force all week attempting to punt of the last of their rolls.

Dunno about last year but definitely at least as hard as Arp was in 2015. Seems like regs are smarter and aren't getting pushed around by things that used to work like cold 4 betting random trash like A7o cause lol blocker or doing things like raising turns a lot when I don't even rep much just cause they fold too much. I have no idea how it could possibly get softer unless every reg from those third world countries start realizing that it's better to try to get an education/actual job than rakeback grind 25nl for $5/hr.

Solid days work.

Na, about the same

Cold 4-betting still works
if villains don't fold to turn raises, then why not setmine and own them pretty hard?

Some still do. I'm saying a lot less fold than before. Before it was hilarious I remember this one time I raised the turn and this reg said "sets sets always fvcking sets" before he folded. I probably didn't even have a gutter.

on nitring, it was fine folding bottom sets to raises if the guy raising was a huge nit

had 24 set over sets in that month, played over 200k hands lol, probably escaped from getting stacked for the 25th time lol.

how bad i run to have a graph like this?.

pretty much from 35k hands i start to run every single cooler and bad beat that you can imagine.

even when i feel i've improved my game like 300% and (i can see that on my red line) im exploiting pretty much every type of player.

it's crushing my soul to see every showdown set over set, even 2 hands in quads vs straight flush.

i was thinking on moving nl25 this month but ill grind another 50k hands more dont wanna move up comming from this, by far the worst downswing.

any advice??.

you can exploit people by folding.
you raise a nits cbet with your 22 set on a 27Jr board and he 3-bets you, maybe you should consider folding.

If someone with 1% 3-bet 3-bets your UTG raise, there's no shame in folding your AK.

if you cbet your AA on a dry board and that 30/5 passive player raises you, well... fold.

Coolers are relative to how you value your hands, you can easily say that something is a cooler just because "lolz, he had set over set" or "lolz, I has a flush, let's call this 400% overshove OTR and see the maniez!

Having a positive redline doesn't mean you're exploiting people, those 80/10 massive whales have a positive red line(I'm not saying that you are one).

Maybe you're fighting too hard for pots and overvaluing some hands, maybe not making the correct folds, maybe betting a hand for value when your villains are only calling you with better.

i've been get caught in a lot of ****ty spots like random player with gambler status 200deep 4bet shove, me with AA (bad beats).

and i've been gettting caught a lot in a 4bet pots also with AA KK in a dry board and monkeys show top set. (hard to lay down with a <2.5 spr)

and yes a lot of times i've been fighting a lot some pots, pretty much missing 90% of my AKo and AKs (only 15$ profit with those hands in NL10 vs 200$ profit in NL5 same sample size)


most of the coolers are in a 3bet pot where i flop sets with JJ QQ and villains improve to quads or sometimes flat KK floping top set in a board KQ2, (really hard to read).

but i guess im most of the things you say you are right but is like 30% tilt and 70% bad luck imo, sometimes you 4bet AA guy flats and donk shoves in a board T72 rainbow and i just can't fold that i dont think i will ever, i mean i dont get going in a <3 spr 3betting calling a 4bet to flop top set. just tilt me bad.

i'll adjust my brain and grind this ***** out, thx ill evaluate your words .

ps:tilt is a *****
