Noice!

I had to stop reading at ''Indian Romeo'' and grab a beer quickly. OP stories are just too good to be made up. Alcohol makes the true colors come out btw so watch your girl closely.

I am 1000% sure OP is not trolling. I believe he is actually downplaying/ holding back on his true degeneracies and HHs.

However, it does feel sometimes like Im reading an article on www.dontevenreply.com

I can't wait till the next episode of OPs adventures!

Admit it. You’re just jelly your disciplined, good strat and content thread gets 1/10th the views as this train wreck.

I think it’s the same reason women are attracted to disasters. We’ve all made op our project and just want to save him.

This guy is so blinded it's unreal, it's almost like he doesn't want to succeed in poker.

Once again, I confirm that I met OP at Crown on Tuesday, he is real and I believe he is being truthful in this thread. He’s just a young guy trying to make something for himself in poker.

I didn’t play the same table as him but we chatted for 10 mins and he is a nice guy. I gave him a few small pieces of advice around being ‘professional’ and subsequently told him to stop posting in this thread because I can’t see how it can possibly help him given he’s very clearly not going to listen to all the advice from all the well meaning and kind hearted souls itt

Happily for all you roflers, he didn’t listen to my advice either and he’s still posting

But how much does he look like Matt Damon?

Not a huge amount

what is your w/r at 1/1 - i seem to remember it being not ossum? Also - how much alcohol will you generally consume during a typical 1/1 game on us soil? I think that the rest of the thread should know these facts for a frame of reference

Either a terrible troll (likely) or loser who absolutely gives blowies on his way to and from the casino everyday. I'd bet his customers even require eye contact for their $15 fee as well.

There are no other options, he is either option 1 or 2.

I believe you of course, but you cant act surprised that alot of posters have debated if this whole thread is a trolling act or not. Like,many of OPs life decisions+ poker decisions are so absurdly bad and contradictory to what he actually writes about goals and stuff, that its hard not to ask yourself its a troll.

Shame on you sir. Shame. Giving OP such terrible advice. How is OP going to hold himself accountable without this thread? How are the readers going to get their daily degeneracy fix?

@rich..we always got yers to fall back on mang

I'm not sure he is going to hold himself accountable, with our without the thread

My first 5/10/20 sesh this year

So I woke up late today and had intended to go straight to a home game to play some deep-stacked $1/$2, but then a friend tagged me in some poker meme on Facebook and before I know it, I'm talking with a Crown reg who informs me that there's a $5/$10/$20 NL game currently running with 2 empty seats.

I go to the casino planning to just eat some food, drink some iced coffee and scout out the 5/10/20, with no intention of actually playing it. Whilst I'm in line at the bar grabbing my iced coffee, a random Asian guy shows me his gold VIP card and tells me that he'll get me a drink (since alcohol is free for him). I tell him that I'm only planning to grab an iced coffee but he insists that he gets me a glass of wine or a pot of beer. Why doesn't this happen when I actually want to drink alcohol? I politely decline his offer and stick to my principles.

So I go down to the poker room and phone my friend. I tell him that we should go to the home game together, but he tells me that he wants to take a shot at the big game. I eventually decide f**k it, you only live once, we'll dive into this together.

So the game is 1k min and 3k max buyin. We both buy in for the minimum. I'm playing hugely out of my comfort zone, so I nit up a lot. For example, I folded KJo in the CO after MP limped $20. Fortunately, my nit image works somewhat to my advantage, as people are really hesitant to 3bet/4bet me when they know that my ranges are much stronger than normal.

The game actually seems quite soft. Like there's a lot of limping going on and also people are raising to different amounts each hand. Like sometimes they'll open to $60 and other times $100 and other times even $125.

So one hand goes like this:

8-handed, $900 effective
Villain opens $70 CO
Hero 3bets $155 BTN with TT (I actually meant to go $230 here but accidentally threw out 2 greens and 1 black instead of 1 green and 2 blacks)
Villain calls $155

Flop ($345, HU) is T88r

Villain checks
Hero checks

Turn ($345) is T88Q

Villain checks
Hero bets $150
Villain calls $150

River ($645) is T88QQ

Villain checks
Hero tanks then checks back (I would totally have jammed my last $600 in here if I wasn't playing with scared money)
We show our hand and we're good.

So after only 1hr and 10 mins, I decide to cash out my $200 profit and move down to a 2/5 table. My mate also goes on the same 2/5 table as me. We play for a short while, I drop $74 there and then I tell my mate f**k it let's get the f**k out of here and go to the $1/$2 home game, neither of us were even supposed to be at those tables in the first place.

We get in a taxi, go to the home game and find that the buyin is $100-$500, which is quite deep for a $1/$2. We both buy in for the maximum and get started. Like most home games, the table is fairly solid/nitty, but the better structure and nicer atmosphere makes it more enjoyable nonetheless.

Everyone at this home game knows about my 2p2 thread, so it was kind of weird being almost like a celebrity there. From the moment I stepped in, one of the hosts asked me if he could get me a beer, but I politely declined. Throughout the night, he offered me a few more drinks: beer, gin, etc. But I declined each time. I didn't realise until the end, but there was actually a prop bet on whether I could survive the night without alcohol, and I passed the test.

Within 2hrs, I'm in for $1200. Not a great start. I levelled myself into calling a 5bet pre with QQ and stacking off 250bbs on a 642 flop when my opponent had AA. My justification was that it was a CO vs BB dynamic and I had a LAG image, but I still think that I could've found a fold nonetheless.

I get a few more hands later on and recover a chunk of my losses. I ultimately cash out $820 ($380 down) after a 4hr session and return home.

Once I get home, I have a talk with my girlfriend and decide f**k it, let's book our trips to Sydney for the end of July. We'd been talking about this for a while, but I'd never actually gotten around to doing it. So I bought the cheapest plane tickets and found a decent 3.5 star hotel and paid for it all online: $850 total.

Once in Sydney, I plan to spend 1 night playing poker at The Star Casino and the other 2 nights just hanging out with my girlfriend. Only a short holiday, but still something I'm excited about.

Guy uses the term "sesh" and "jam" too often to imply he ever had interest in the ladies. There's not a straight man alive who uses those terms every time they talk like 6 does. Good luck when you inevitably come out of that closet and your family and friends get a good laugh at your expense.

LOL.

So what you are saying is every young adult from Australia is gay?

Also you really butchered that hand.

Imo best line is a small bet otf then a fat bet OTT then x the river obv.

Nice shot in the 5/10/20 game, sounds like a really well thought out shottake after running your roll nicely up grinding the 1/3 games exclusively the last couple of weeks. Btw, what happend to the "i need to stick to 1/3 and grind up my roll" you have stated multiple times?

Also, how much is your total roll now after torching off nearly 1K on the Sydney trip?You got to be pretty close to uncomfortable territory now, like 4K or even less?

Declines beer to ‘stick to principles’

Takes a shot at 5/10/20 with at least 15% of roll

Every ‘goal’ or ‘principle’ you’ve outlined in his thread is a complete joke. Do you realize how easily it’s been for you to just write off not sticking to them as “F**k it, YOLO” and how unsustainable that mindset is wrt reaching any goals?

Recently discovered footage of feel wrath giving 6bet advice right before he hopped into the 5/10/20

Okay this guy is reaching new levels.

You now jump to 5/10/20 when 2/5 is already out of your bankroll and to top it all off you are spending $830 on a holiday?

What.... The......Hell....??????


Edit - Wp, this is probably the most active 2+2 thread atm, which is probably what you were going for.

It is the most active thread on 2+2 and has been for two months. Everyone and his/her dog is trying to flex here in text format.

With that being said. If OP is like the best 5-10-20 player he prolly has at least, too lazy to get his current poker br so don't wanna do variance calculations, basically, some chance to succeed w/o dropping down and slowly but steadily build a big enough BR while playing under-rolled. However, is he? OP are you beating 5-10-20?

So $850 holiday + $380 loss at your 5/10/20 session = $1230 lost. You keep finding money from somewhere it seems. That's like 20% of your net worth down the drain?

Is there a way to tell what the most active thread has been over the last few months?

Read title, LOL'd. Why do you hate sticking to goals OP?
