Oh well. It's happened to everyone itt. It could be a lot worse, just feels like a lot since it's an app and I'm upstuck.

tomorrow's a new day. but this is very stressful ngl.

little burned out but will still aim for at least 6-8 hours tomorrow. 12 is better but have a few appointments tomorrow anyways.



gl gl guys! I volunteered as tribute this week for the doom switch so you guys should be fine for now.
Pretty sure I’ve read you write that you’ve been doing a lot of studying and less playing. There’s a chance that you’re overloaded with new ideas and concepts that you’re trying to put into play against a pool of players who they might not be the most effective against (I’m thinking of the KJo 4! hand you posted).
It’s boring, but I would try to get back to the fundamentals and exclude some of the more fancy plays in your arsenal for awhile. Just playing super solid should get you around the corner without digging the hole any deeper.
And obviously don’t chase your losses. Just focus on playing your best 100% of the time you play.

Also, I found this from randomly this morning. This guy posts on 2+2 and his posts are among the best I’ve seen on here. Just a heads up for anyone ITT who wants to improve their game. There’s a couple segments to this series. I haven’t watched it all yet, but I assume it’s all pretty much A+ information.

The rankings go

Thursday
Wednesday
Monday
Tuesday

(holiday rankings to follow)


Please, no comments on this from anyone under 30. You just don’t have the experience yet so your opinions don’t matter
Drinking on Monday / Tuesday is underrated imo.

Surprised at #1 Sunday

Age 56...

You had the jeebus seat on me on one table, but then the AJ vs str8 hand happened. Bunch of shortstackers at that table so I've moved

Good drinking days are a function of the next day, imo. So I'd have Sunday lower on that list, Friday and Saturday are interchangeable.

Age: 36

I was at the table you moved from on your right. Only there for like 15 hands before you bounced

Gotcha. Oh, THAT hand. Ffs I knew I should fold. It was just annoyance.

I played some hands terribly, but also nobody folds their raise to a 3! so...

Feely is this sipping a scotch or brandy? If so then I agree fully

If we're talking zoltard level inebriation then it may need some changes

Anyway, thanks for the self-sacrifice, but it must be only valid for your steaks. I've still gotten roasted and decided to drop down again.
I told y'all the J6o and QQ is real. And it's not normal to flop the nut straight/flush and keep losing to top pair over and over again in a span of 20k hands.

It's rigged yo.

Will the whining frequencies itt be replaced with similar gloating frequencies when this shift in EV occurs? Or will that just be "making up for the terrible luck you have"?

don't they teach you in the marines that leaders don't play the role of a victim?

glgl though! hopefully, your deeper understanding of the game and experience shines through eventually vs these nut peddling dookie degens.

People just overestimate their winrates AFTER rake and tilt/spew imo.

this can all be explained through excel and basic statistics. No need to involve emotion haha. Over time, the better players with the strongest mental games will always win the most moniez.... right? Especially online.

also, tongue in cheek with the marine thing. thank you for your service.

This is why when you re: other people's experiences with your "It's just math why you get emotional it's so silly" type of advice you get ignored and we roll our eyes. And when someone calls you out on it you continue to double down saying it's cause we don't know and the world has never seen the likes of someone like you.

But yeah like I said it sucks dude, not fun.

I got j6 3 hands in a row

Forgot to play the first time



Thought I took picture of the 3rd and final but may not have saved

Well done! Putting in work to perpetuate the legend. People are going to start telling cooler stories like, "So sick my JJ ran into J6 like 5 times today! I run so bad."
