longitude/latitude or it didnt happen

Now hes hunting for an ATM

I was in a game last night where a guy was betting $500 blind pre and then shoving flops/turns for $10k+ (500bbs+) with any piece of the flop (ie K9 on a K77 board). In one hand a player doubled up through him by calling turn shove with 66 on JTT9 board (river blanked).

[x] Cool Story Bro

I now have 11 BI.


Once again successfully limp shoved 50BB with AAxx in RxR and held vs. two others. This is worked for me 4 times now.

It's like my only move in that game.

I'm so jealous of everyone saying how soft and beatable their 1/2 games are... the talk at my 1/2 table (only Poker room within an hour) is how XXX casino in Alberta is super soft, or stuff like that... The people for the most part during the week are complete regs that often know each other or at least play against each other often, and I see a lot of the young ones talking strat away from the table.

I like to think of myself as a decent player, but a decent player is not going to walk in and start beating this 1/2 game...

Soooo.... I'm off to become better than decent and put together a big enough BR to handle the variance

Given the current environment of poker, if you cannot beat bunch of regs, you cannot beat poker.

Yeah but if 'reg' literally just means 'people who play a lot of poker', then most 'regs' I play could also be called 'fish'.

Geez your local room must stink

I said that weekends aren't any better; I didn't say they weren't highly profitable. They're still highly profitable, cus every day of the week is highly profitable if you can adjust.

I'm not potitive, but I feel like the certain posters that claim weekends as better are the type of ABC regs that are waiting to stack fish with sets versus TPTK or stacking inexperienced players with AA versus QQ preflop. Cooler situations where they make way more money from fish then a fish would against them in the same spot. Yes, playing aginst these fish are juicy, but if you go card dead then you are sh*t out of luck and the variance can be tiliting since you are limited to only playing the top 10% of hands, and you can easily go 8 hours without being dealt a premium and 50 hours without flopping a set.

The truth is, there is just as much money to be made from abc regs, especially regs who play deep. There are tons of steals that can be made in position, light 3betting, semibluffing big draws. If you are not an aggressive player than you are not capturing this money and are over reliant on playing in a game with donks who are going to pay you off when they are crushed.

In my area it's almost all donks waiting to pay you off no matter when you play so your adjustments would get you killed. The only difference day of the week makes is % that are drunk.

I think if you took a poll, the results would be that Im the most NON-ABC regular poster in the strat forums and I will say there's no doubt in my mind that weekends are softer most everywhere I play.

How can the weekends not be softer? All the normal working stiff type guys who play poker once or twice a month are playing. They are not very experienced and not very good.

I play a lot online on the legal US sites (a lot for someone with a job that is poker pro). I play with many players who are regulars and terrible. then I go play live at several different casinos with people who say they play online on the same sites I play on, they also are terrible.

Point of my story is that players, by in large, are just terrible, regardless of how much they play poker

This

Agreed. but there are different levels of terribleness. I have over 400 hours during the week and over 400 hours on weekends. My weekend win rate is just about exactly double my weekday win rate.

Anyone who plays only weekends and thinks they can go pro, better put in some serious weekday hours first because there's no way they will make what they think they will make playing full time if theyve only played weekends.

Play Vegas on Tuesday. Then play on Saturday.

Sick Graph!! What was your biggest downswing in this sample? I imagine you must be playing in some of the uncapped games or $500 max $1/$3?

Solid results bro. Very inspiring. Also, move up!!

Biggest downswing was about $2k. I'm always buying in $300. The biggest reason that the game I'm normally playing in plays deep is that when players go broke they generally rebuy repetitively, and winners rarely hit and run, increasing average stacks on the table.

I have about 100 marginally profitable hours at 2/5 and am down about 3k in 40 hours of 5/10.

I defiantly agree. Due diligence should be an important aspect of most major descisions in life






Fixed my own post

Im glad someone else cant spell "definitely". I have to use spell check every damned time. Assuming you weren't actually being defiant when you agreed with me.

Autocorrect is a cruel mistress

Definitely/defiantly is a common word I get F'ed on by her

anyone keep track of hourly per day? i have a very small sample size but it shows weekends are way better - https://gyazo.com/4d1cc4728fd987a943c227519a8d46a8

Yes. (Well, sort of, based on the day of the week that the session *ends* on, so a session on Friday night that runs until 2am gets counted as "Saturday".)

I'm negative on Wednesdays with only about 200 hours, break even on Mondays with 1000 hours (probably Sunday PLO skewing that).

Best days are Tues/Thurs/Friday at $10/$15/$10/hr respectively, 3-500 hours each. I think this is dominated by some insane home games.

Sat/Sun are about $9/hr over roughly 2000 combined hours (about half and half). This has a LOT of casino time from years ago.

I'm not even sure it's fair to compare these as the home games during the week are so different. I wouldn't draw any conclusions from your 180 hour total sample. One big hand either way will swing one of your days by $10/hr.

Some tracking software has this built in. RunGood and Poker Income both do

You can literally have 1 hand in a 180 stretch that will change your win rate by $5 an hour in a 1/2 game.

It's insane to think that anything you derive from 180 is really useful in the long term.
Unless you're down like 20bi. Then you're prolly a fish..

But other than that. Nothing really.
