meditate every morning = day passes thru you.

distractions are variance

variance = guru

it all becomes meaningless in the face of your truth.

then you can just be your Self.

or something. gl

I’m posting this Omaha question because this is the only Omaha thread I follow and you seem pretty good what are your thoughts.

4567 (4 and 6 are spades). Game is 5/10/20 live. UTG raises 75.

We are utg+1 there’s like 7 at table or something what do you do?

Snap fold right?

These ss rundown can be 3bet like 300bb+ deep I think, shorter can probably just call. Was interesting at like 350bb you 3bet as IP 9865ss KKT5ss stuff like this. I guess maybe not UTG vs +1 but could be.

clearly getting cheated on ignition again, down 15BI so far today hopefully things turn around. Withdrawing ignition and just focusing on global for now... Small stakes PLO is in such a horrible place right now... Cheating is literally everywhere at this stake (200) and regs aren't equipped with the ability to find cheaters or credibility to have ppl actually listen to them. People made fun of me in this thread for complaining about cheaters but at some point you have to just listen... Case in point the person who found the 200PLO ACR bots after jnandez is an established 2k reg. Not a 200s player. Not even in a massive downswing I'm crushing these stakes but it's still so frustrating to have mediocre results on some sites watching myself get swindled out of my money. Higher stakes much safer rn. Anyways grinding just Global until this site isn't as good and then will hopefully have money for higher stakes online or will pivot to live.

To anybody struggling at these stakes rn, focus on not getting screwed over by cheaters. The regs are not that good, the fish are plentiful, and games run consistently. Just don't get obliterated by cheaters and you will be able to climb.

down about 25BI today not winning any all-ins makes it difficult to make money in this stupid game... People tilt getting it in with AKTTsss 200bb deep vs my aces on 972... I knew what was going to happen before it happened LOL! Literally every 5 minutes I am getting stacked twice this is honestly hilarious. Gotta love global poker.

Long time HS ignition plo reg, withdrew everything about a month ago after discussing with several players. Blatant collusion and who knows what else, def stay away from there. Playnow is great despite the low traffic, used to play there a lot, back now since leaving ignition

Won around 12BI back playing a couple reg HU / SH, feels good to crush ppl. Agree yeah stay away from ignition, tempting to always be able to add 4 tables but it's such a dumb justification to potentially (probably) get cheated. Playnow is amazing yeah can be a little slow or nitty sometimes tho. And no rakeback means I need prolly ~4bb extra (extra fish on table) to make it worth. Two of the 3 guys who sit 25/50 seem worth playing I played them a tiny bit at 5/T. Which is awesome that the site has 25/50 HU and it seems beatable.

Which province of play now you playing at? Or is it all the same? I know BC has one. Is it actually active? Thanks

Also where you from?

It gets traffic for PLO at 1/2 mostly. Occasionally 2/4 and 3/6. No idea for NL but I think decent traffic at 1/2. It’s all the same player pool.

Frustrating run at 200s down 20bi last couple days - just losing every all in can't really do anything about it. Really sucks because 500s is infinitely easier to crush than 200s... Can't wait to be back. But need about another 10k to make it my main stake. Pretty sure people playing 500s-2ks have it the easiest on Global. Based on seeing how virtually all of them play.

Just need to not piss away my money on MTTs and sketchy sites where I'm getting colluded next time I'm at 500s...



Just losing these pots too often to be able to make any money, and down about 3k on Playnow in the last couple days.

Just gonna reduce tables and game select harder - have been raking $300-$600 every day at 200s for the last little bit. It’s extremely concerning for winrate. Study still going really well I feel like I’m gradually becoming the best player I can become. Just a frustrating pattern in my career the times I’m studying I start to downswing hard, and the times I’m not studying I’m just crushing easily.

up 15bi today in first session, really good to break that negative momentum and get back to crushing ppl. Still running REALLY badly in big pots, should be winning a lot more than I am atm.

Completely exhausted after studying today, not even going to play a second session

Something about studying drains me way faster than playing. I often just want to sleep after studying lol.

Unbelievably frustrated right now I am 100% sure that I'm currently running the worst out of every single global reg playing 200s+ and it's not close. I just can't win any allins. 100vpip shot take donates 600bb to ****ing nits, and I get stacked by 4 outers. It's just so absurd it's unreal. Getting scooped AA vs AA constantly, losing EVERY 500bb+ pot in the last week or so, and somehow not buried. Feel like my winrate must be much higher now because this run would have made me busto by now in the past. This game is just so ****ing ******ed I can't run like a normal human being instead I'm stuck at low stakes because I just can't run well enough to win in any of my shot takes. Not like I'm not obliterating 1/2, or 2.5/5 if my tracked results or global results speak for anything. Just lose 5k every time I play 2.5/5 or 2/4 off stake. Down 25BI on Playnow, have NEVER lost that much on there before. IDK if there is collusion or what but the games look insanely soft but I just don't win all-ins.

If it wasn't for cheaters and bad luck, you would be crushing PLO10K.

meh.. i remember i lost almost 40K once i decided to only play Global Poker PLO 500 and up.

same deal.. losing 4 out of 5 coin flips for weeks, coolers, AA vs AA ai pf, AA vs bad KK ai pf.. etc etc

like you.. played the best poker ever. shoulda lost way more but i was crushing.

still.. lost thousands a week for weeks and weeks. took 4 months of beating?

than won it all back plus interest in 2 weeks.

won 3/4 of coin flips. hit 1 outters.. etc. coolers. crush crush crush.

that's just how the game goes.

you will spend more time running bad than running good.

if you play 6max plo you will only have your share 1/6th of the time.

No obviously not, but I’m clearly winning in the PLO 2k games that run on Global. Will take a very long time to be at 10k level.

Yeah I just need to zoom out and not focus on the bad stuff.

Good stuff is - still rolled for 200s, have a high hourly / winrate, am studying a lot, putting in good volume (will be posting 300k milestone on global soon), gf and I going strong, almost graduated from school like 3 more semester I guess.

Tilting is part of the bad stuff, but better to vent in blog than jump stakes and cripple myself. Feel like I have to take the frustration out somewhere.

Other bad stuff obvs running bad but when it’s put into comparison I can handle it.

most players will never crush plo200.

enjoy your position and enjoy the process.

for me.. being able to sit still and breathe and know that i earned this free space and time through poker.. is the true payment.

didn't have to get up and go work or beg. have all my needs met.

enjoy your moments.

time and attention are WAY more valuable than money.

enjoy them first and foremost and the money will follow your success at winning the tiny moments of life.

the more your enjoy the fruits of your poker labors.. the easier it is to handle the variance.

because poker is so frustrating most of the time, even when winning, it is extra important to treat yourself along the way.

:P

sorry if i am annoying with all my replies.. only love!

I think your fears of cheating are overblown and counter productive for your goals and mental health.

Funny you should mention this. 80% sure I am getting cheated at PLO 200s and 400s ring on playnow. Only plying HU tables now. Getting back raised, losing infinite vs same guys I hve crushed for years, some new accounts sun running. I think I have good intuition on recognizing when something isn’t fair. As soon as I leave the ring tables I lose all my HU action, which is highly suspicious IMO. Have been crushing ppl at 400s HU lately, probably down 20-30bi at 200/400 ring. Highly unusual for games that are running with 4-5 fish consistently.
