10 winning sessions in a row

Played a 4hr session of 2/5 NL today and won $510. This now sets a new personal record of 10 winning sessions in a row!

I was super tired because I only had 4hrs sleep, hence why I didn't play longer. This was because I had to wake up at 9am because the landlord was inspecting the apartment and we all had to move out for a day and pretend the place isn't overcrowded. Kind of annoying but oh well.

So I played a daytime session, which started off great, but ended up a nitty regfest by about 2pm once all the fish busted and left. So it felt like a good time for me to cash out and leave anyway.

Some hand histories:

Hand 1 - The dream scenario

$625 effective
Hero is dealt 77 in BB
Competent reg raises $20 UTG+1
Fish calls $20 UTG+2
3 other callers
Hero calls $20 BB

Flop ($108, 6ways) 9c 7c 4h

Hero checks
Competent reg bets $80
Fish calls $80
3 folds
Hero jams $605
Competent reg folds
Fish calls $300 (he was short-stacked)



Hand 2: When your overbet gets snap called...

$435 effective, 6-handed
UTG limps $5
MP raises $15
CO calls $15
Hero 3bets $75 SB with AThh
Only CO calls $75

Flop ($160) T83r

Hero bets $50
CO calls $50

Turn ($260) T83J

Both check

River ($260) T83J4

Hero jams $310 effective
CO snap calls $310 (took him 0.5 seconds)

Damn it... I wanted him to call but I didn't want him to snap call.



Hand 3: The nit of your nightmares

$600 effective, 7-handed
UTG limps $5
Hero raises $25 UTG+1 with Jc Js
Nit reg 3bets $125 SB
Hero calls $125

I expect the nit reg to have all 16 combos of AK and maybe 8 combos of AQ in his range. I don't expect him to have any bluffs or light 3bets.

Flop ($245) 8s 7c 3d

Nit reg bets $100
Hero calls $100

Could definitely make a case for jamming flop here to deny equity, but I thought I'll wait until the turn to get stacks in.

Turn ($445) 8s 7c 3d Kc

Both check

This has to be the second worst card in the deck for my range, behind an Ace. I'm done with this hand now. Going into x/f mode.

River ($445) 8s 7c 3d Kc 8c

Nit reg jams $375
Hero folds

Well that's my last Crown session for a week. Time to go home and prepare for my Sydney flight tomorrow.

lol'd pretty hard at this

You better deliver on the Sydney trip OP. The fans want donking off buyins, degen sessions at 5/10+ drinking and playing. Lets go!

I don't want him to donk off buyins. Rather see him crush. He's aiming to make $5k on this trip so he can pay off the loan. He can make $5k the first night playing $10/$20.

Every man has his own wish i guess. The threads entertainment value is 10x better when the trainwreckfactor is big. Donking/spewing off buyins is definetely one of the best premises to maintain the trainwreckfactor.

I guess if he crushes a couple nights at T/20 it would be cool if he dropped $5k on a tournament.

Yeah, a huge tourney sweat would actually be great entertainment value for the thread.

Loophole is a nice word for "angle". If you had tried that "loophole" against someone you bet against then an arbiter would have said you acted against the spirit of the bet and thus cheated. Since it's a free role you're just cheating yourself and no one really cares. It is great news that you have ended those dumb rules though. It's important to recognize that you are doing something which is holding you back and reconsider.

Btw let me know if you want to play chess sometime, started playing with a friend again recently.

Let's keep it real, 6b. You haven't played more than 4.5 hours in a session at $2/$5 since 11/9. You'll always have an excuse until you're busto from your spending habits.

Gambling debts are debts of honor. OP gambled, lost and then welched, weaseled and angled his way out. He has no honor and he’s not in the least bit ashamed, now even resorting to mocking people calling him out on his downright scummy behaviour (“Look how upset they’re getting”). Pretty sad to see as I was honestly rooting for him to succeed despite the odds obviously being stacked against him.

Guess I wrong, some do care.

Except I've always paid back my gambling debts. I am continuing to pay my debts to this day.

I do have honour. I just don't owe anyone anything from the challenge.

And a real gamble involves 2 people both wagering something against each other. That wasn't the case here.

Wait until my Sydney trip. There will be a lot more live volume coming in then.

So you set up some basic disciplinary rules for yourself.

You try to keep to most of them.

You have the best month of your life playing cash NLHE.

Now you decide that you don't want to follow those rules any longer?

Dluo, are you up for loaning back the $7k to the OP if he needs it under these conditions?

oh really?

You owe this above person $1k. He called you out for going against the rules. You didn't say that you gave someone $1k and he gave it back that day/night. You can wiggle out of this all you want, but the fact is, he called you out on it and the next post you said you were no longer going to complete your freeroll. You welched and are a scumbag for that.

edited to add: you called the giving $1k to a friend and him giving it back a "trick" in your post. by that definition, you knew he'd give it back which also makes you a liar for saying you didn't know he'd give it back.

Can you also then send me my $1k, thanks.

OP also confirming once again that he doesn't understand what a freeroll is.

So playing pokies isn’t gambling?

Anyway, should be enjoyable to watch you crash and burn.

I've already explained myself: every pub poker session I played was done with a friend, and each of them took and returned the 1k each time.

Yes, it was a bit tricky, but that doesn't make me a "scumbag". A scumbag is someone who causes harm to others. How did I cause harm to others? I didn't take anything away from anyone. So clearly, that boot doesn't fit this foot.

Anyway, f**k the challenge. It's over now and I won't be making anymore of these money challenges ever again.

You've never made one to begin with.

Playing pokies = degen vs casino.

The casino risks money. The degen risks money. Again, it's 2 parties both putting money at risk.

People were gambling with their time against your 1k.


Where do you come up with this ridiculously narrow definition?

It's nice that it fits perfectly into your argument but 'scumbag' is actually defined by dictionaries and it's definition is not anywhere near what you wrote

Once you understand ops personality disorder it all makes sense. (And by "all" I mean this entire pgc)

This might help

You made a bet with no intention of honoring it. You're a scumbag in the gambling world. You said you didn't know someone would pay you the money back. You're also a liar. Try being real with yourself again.

Zero evidence that any money ever changed hands too.

No evidence that the vast majority of the things said in this thread are true either. OP is too internet famous now it's gone to his head. All we will get is lies and trying to save face.

It was a stupid free roll and no one thought you ever had any intention of honoring. Just say "yeah, that was dumb" and move on. Stop digging yourself into this hole by trying to maintain the fiction that the bet was so how real and honoured.

lol, you said “people”, now it’s “parties” all of a sudden.
