depositing $320 Monday and going to try grow it, might throw in Texas Holdem when bored want some variety but mainly planning to play Omaha only but ill bounce between the 2 depending on mood unless im just a mega fish at 1 game and not beating the stake even if rolled for it.

actually ill still play the game im bad at just at a stake i beat even if not for alot so for fun variety rather than contributing really to challenge, just so i dont lose the plot playing 1 game only and start playing bad due to repetitiveness.

i put $120 on the site in the end (cause all can afford at moment needed get haircut taxis and things so disposable income plummeted) $80 on Pokerstars and $40 on 888poker (which im not sure if trust with my money so gonna withdraw regularly from there even though have to pay a silly charge each time get ripped off, also games look better there least for texas so thats a shame but im wary of them plus they dont answer me in support so still like keeping in 4table pokerstars for texas and 1table for 888 tacked on end).

yh went rubbish im down $8.59 after putting loads volume in, up texas down omaha but down overall, i played some 2nl zoom and 2plo zoom just as taster see if i could do it decided its mayhem and tilt inducing so stopped and switch to normal cash games.

made a mistake first session played too many omaha tables tried 4 on pokerstars 1 on 888 i just cant focus keep up make mistakes i wouldnt misread boards rushed so just played badly lost, next session i played texas regular and won pretty smooth to be fair 5tabled it was fine probably my limit with a hud probably 2-3 without.

then i played regular omaha again lost it looks like i played bad but to be honest i ran in to lots of setups deep and post lost loads of 200b 300b pots think only one above 100bb pot in omaha went my way edge held rest was people calling off leaving nothing post then essentially getting there or sucking out so it looks like i played bad but to be honest i didnt play that bad i got sloppy and tilty near the end of it but till that point i wouldnt done much different other than limped some hands pre keep stacks deep and yh in general manipulate the pot pre and post differently.

lost huge one to nutter 300bb deep omaha lots of 200bb yh i got destroyed definitely donked off stacks near end got em in bad.

texas was only one pot that in regular tables that may of been an overplay but unsure cause guy was mega station i 2x pot with mid set on pretty clean runout bar a weird straight but thought lots of 2pairs hed call but he had set of kings cold call the 4bet oop pre deep which is fair just no raise anypoint super wet board c river so for me was green light so i dont know about that one, zoom what can i say that formats crazy!!!! i dont like yet i kinda like basically i suck at it and feel like im just clicking buttons in it winging it did i donk some stacks off sort off cooler but not really given positions i just overplayed preflop some hands pairs.

so pants few days nights even with all the ridiculous volume, zooms not my game at all format messes with me, omaha i thought was my game but i got wrecked but do think its more run bad deep in setups runouts least for second session first was all me playing bad, texas was alright just boring and im maybe bit too aggressive in spots i know im getting called a bunch but feels right so go for it.

so feel demoralised if anything mainly as ive played alot!!! take me all week maybe bit more to play this amount normally.

https://ibb.co/1qJJmHM by stake

its mix of 2nl 2plo zoom, 10nl texas zoom, 10plo regular, 10nl regulars and 5nl texas zoom for short sesh when my money dipped.

i have no idea what to play tomorrow just play what i fancy but if omaha im moving down cause that session was soul destroying.

cant play weekend possibly cause got friend coming round to chill so going try squeeze as much in at something before friday night which think the night hes coming?

if i rake some sort of amount in 13 days i can get $200 rakeback so gonna try shoot for that not sure if feasible though maybe

ok night night

so goals just to win and make money if can do that that be sweet, suppose learn zoom poker maybe could be goal too though im still iffy on that format think ill just tilt and suck too much at it so not sure if worth the stress.

I really liked 888 poker, they just didn't have enough volume at the omaha tables. I wouldn't worry about trusting them.

The rake is bad but GGpoker is an option as well. They have lots of volume across all tables and are pushing Stars for overall traffic leader.

lost more money at omaha won some at texas won some at 5card omaha and some 6+plus for about 38mins stopwatched it, also got nice surprise of $50 in a chest from pokerstars much needed and i bought $10 cashback with the stars i got but overall im minus the rakeback cashback ive only made $56 dollars in game and ive played alot, omaha keeps feeling like i just get out flopped out turned turned alot, and texas is texas your either getting bad or your not but ive know ive been on the right side of some coolers pre flop and postflop where moneys just going in either way.

so mixed feelings on tonight least im not broke yet, may need to shift money from pokerstars to 888poker though as only have $12 there and $224 on Pokerstars.

ive been silly with the stakes im aware there kind of all over the shop and format, but think going to stick with texas maybe just for a bit cause my graph looks atrocious and is demoralising being down still on the tracker after all them hrs played. my texas and omaha graphs are like polar opposites

ok cool cheers, gg another one that worries me cause the conditions something about no bum hunters or something and freeze accounts out of blue, mean if playing poker and your paying rake you have to bum hunt try play people worse than yourself so i dont get it really, i like the no huds bit just they seem sketchy. but cheers i might bite bullet risk it try them out.
