Nice to hear that you are finally playing live, been trying to get you guys out there for a long time. At fortuna?

Sorry, I misread your post. Skrill still works fine for us. We have been using Canadia ATMs the whole time which gives free withdrawals, but yesterday they started charging $4. So now we are going to try set up ABA bank accounts, where we can withdraw for free with a much bigger limit. From everything i've heard, we should be ok in setting up accounts

I played at Queenco... I will be switching it up between fortuna and queenco... Still some things I need to learn...

Last night I had 3 "good" tight players on my right and 3 obvious bad players on my left.... Seat opens up, is it "ok" for me to switch seats to get position on the fish?

Of course it's ok. If you really think it's bad just use some old man coffee fish talk, grumble "haven't seen a face card in a half hour."

so i was about to shave and realized i need to wait because one of our silly superstitions/traditions is shaving before a session for run good (started by Yazz - not sure why now), this might explain why the razor was in both pics of the set up but i should get inb4u n say theres no shaving at the desk going on

The good players will wish they had done it first and the bad players won't even understand what you're doing. Claiming a seat is bringing you good or bad luck is accepted as a legitimate thing by fish anyway

Just have to say have been on 2+2 5 years, and this is my 5th post fu kung awesome thread good job! It has inspired me and now I want to move abroad and grind lsnl

Thanks man, really cool to read these comments

Played some live again last night. Went to Queenco, no game running... wentt to Fortuna, no game running... Last and final casino, Golden Island... boom 2 full tables running... Played until around 5am and I quit up +$205 when we got 4 handed, I had the boss of the room on my left who was snap calling any open I made and I ran like crap the last few hours...

Was the biggest stack most of the night until gibbo08 shows up at around 3-4am, I lose AQ vs KJ on ATx flop, Q turn. After that went down hill...

Making a few silly live mistakes.... Had AA on BTN, MP opens, CO calls, I try to squeeze to $25, threw a $25 chip in and it went down as a call, oops... Another mistake was with 33, I cbet vs gibbo08 on AQx flop, he puts in a $100 chip, I thought it was a raise and I snap folded, but it was a call... oops I also have no idea who has to show their cards first?

There's a pretty huge flaw on the Golden Island poker games tho.... If you go to the toilet or w/e on your BB, u can skip your blinds and be dealt in again on CO for free....?

This must be your nit dream...

good job on the live wins .

just make it a habit to verbally declare the amount you want to bet. foolproof!

Sounds like things are really starting to come together. Nice work.

Are you going to go back to grinding 25NL now you have a bit of a roll?

Blackrain79s blog brought me here. Read about 45 pgs and my eyes are tired. Can someone just fill me in? So u were staked for 25nl and broke even first month.. How did the staking end up overall? Whats ur current br and liferoll?

Dude you have to read the whole thing, cliffs won't do this justice! but ITT Degening, Girls, Girls Degening, Booze, Degening on Booze, Drugs, Degening on Drugs.

Real brutal day at the casino today... Been taking $500 with me each time , lost the whole 500 tonight :/ Played pretty badly in the last hand for my last $160 or so but other then that felt I played ok...

Was card dead for the majority of the day and lost most of the hands that I did play.. Key hands... Cant remember exact details (how the **** are u supposed to??)... I have JdJx, couple limpers, I raise, fishyboy in the blinds calls, rest fold. Jxx flop 2 diamonds, Fishyboy checks, I bet he calls, 5d turn, he donks (I'd seen him do this twice before once he makes his hand) I call, As river, he checks, I really really want to bet but check and he has ATdd gg. Top up $100...

Next hand was standard hand I get AQo, raise, same fish in blind calls, he donks Q3x 2 clubs flop, I call, blank turn, check check, 3c on river (i cant remember exactly ;/) he checks, I wanted to bet, probably should have but he checks and shows some random bull**** hand, i win and now i got like $250-260...

Next hand 2 good players (1 reg whos been there everyday and 1 guy i not seen before) limp UTG and UTG+1, I raise AA, everyone fold except UTG+1 (Hes been pretty tight since he joined table and so have I been), 334 flop, he checks I bet, he 3bets, I 4bet shove and he calls with A3s, gg... too loose? didnt really want to call flop because not many turns change anything if he bets, and didnt want to fold on this flop...

Rebuy last $200, have a couple hands AJ, AQ, TT where I open, check/fold or cbet/fold, get down to $160 or so and then my last hand UTG opens $10 (guy who had A3 hand before), I call with JJ, guy on my left called (who I thought was pretty good and for some reason I think he thought I was a bit fishy because he snap called anytime I opened), then a bunch of other callers... T66 flop, original raiser checks, I bet JJ, guy on my left pretty much puts me all in, everyone else folds and i tilt call he had 96o...

geez gief HM and HH converter...

4 days playing live.... +$292, +$205, -$50, -$500... -$53 total lol...

pretty exhausted... time for bed..

he raised your c-bet and then you 3-bet shoved all-in. the blinds count as the first bet preflop, thus raising someone's first raise is a 3-bet.

a noob mistake to do live is not covering your holdings properly. is it possible he could see your cards?

How long are your sessions?

First thought on the AA hand is to call his c/r to keep his bluffs in but shoving can't be bad if he's stacking off with any overpair there, folding out of the question you can't expect many 3x in his range. Why is he even check/raising anything there... lol. <3 live.

So you want someone else read it and then give you cliffsnotes.... You can't be this lazy.

Yeah its not about the cliff, but the journey.

I guess I missed it.... Are broke brothers backed by blackrain79

He is seldom bluffing here and when he is he is stopping on most turns.
On the other hand he often has a mid pp or something and many turns kill our action, stacking off is most definitely the correct play.

No chance... I'm pretty nitty with this. I think he just saw a few pots where I open/3bet pre and played really weak and giving up on a lot of flops...

I've been starting my sessions around 7pm and ending around 1-2am ish... One night I was there until around 5am...

This guy was playing tight and he knew I was also playing tight... Against some of the other guys who can actually have some 3x in their range here I may have played a bit different...

Yeh I was thinking he had mid PP a lot here and was making a lil move, I was expecting him to fold most of the time, but sometimes I'd get a call from an overpair...

Hmmm to play again tonight or not... can't decide atm ;o

What kind of swings should I be expecting? -2.5 BI in 5 or so hours is standard?

Also what kind of image do I want to be giving off? I think atm the regs there dunno wtf is up with me, most think im a lil kid, most know i live here and play poker online, i think the fishy regs think I am pretty tight, really aggressive, maybe a bit spewy/fishy....

There was only one person that didn't make a mistake in the 334 hand

Then shoving doesn't make much sense if you think about it. Given you have the virtual nuts in a 3bp on an insanely safe board - we want him to continue with as much of his range as possible. Very unlucky that tbh, just a cooler.. especially when we block what is likely his most probable 3x. (A3).

I was planning on going to fortuna tonight, anyone know if Queenco / fortuna are better? Also great thread guys, keep it up and hope you get some heat live
