won about 10BI today, would have been a lot more but lost like 7 bi to this guy



Just kept minclicking me when I didn't have ****, stacking off bad and hitting, and then left pretty quickly. Extremely frustrating to play vs. Hand we bet in iso pot 3 ways so 25% flop, get clicked, call, turn x we bet get clicked again and fold.

Yes I was extremely disappointed when I heard that Spork was being toxic in chat again. I don't tolerate that kind of behavior from my close friends. But in Sporks positions we aren't that close, and I'm not sure exactly what he said etc. etc. IDK why he feels the need to act that way, but he tilts probably harder than I do.

Keeping bankroll and liferoll separate, in an attempt to not hold so much weight to downswings and what stakes I’m playing. Keeping them in separate bank accounts, will replenish life roll monthly.

Dropping to 4 max tables from 6 max tables. Feel like my game has stagnated a bit, and could be a result of turning on autopilot when multitabling. Basically I always had the impression more tables = more money, up to a point. HOWEVER, new thought is that the worst couple tables when i am playing 6 aren’t netting me anywhere near as much as the best couple tables. Therefore, I can’t just divide my hourly by 6 and use that to figure out how much each table is worth. This isn’t a hard rule or anything, if theres 8 amazing tables I’m gonna be playing 8 tables. Also when training, I often have to stop and think through my decisions to prevent significant EV loss. But when playing 6x tables I have to just use my intuition. While I’ve studied enough at this point that I’m not blundering constantly playing with intuition - I think this new approach will have some effect on my results.

Basically just trying a bunch of new stuff rn to see what sticks and what doesn’t, since I’m not quite where I need to be for high stakes / nosebleeds.

Dont you like to start with 2-3 tables, then slowly go up to 6 or 8 or whatever, and only keep the best 2-3 tables for an hour to cool down at the end of the session?
These last hours at good tables being deep have always been really profitable for me, and especially good for my game, because i was able to think through every spot, and try new things i wanted to implement.

That’s an interesting approach. I agree the last hours at good tables when 300+bb deep are probably the most profitable.

Being able to think through spots is key for me as well. I can’t use all the studying I’ve been doing when my autopilot is stuck on skills from months ago.

I’d be interested to see my winrate associated with number of tables. While HM3 does have this feature, it appears to be bugged or at least inaccurate.

Back at 200s for now, won a sizable chunk so far today so hopefully can play those for a while at least.

17672 hands played since posting my 300k milestone. So I think on good pace to break 50k this month, but progress will slow down as I'm dropping table count.

Massive difference today in quality of my play. Will likely make this a harder rule going forward, with exceptions for the most unusual nights. In order to keep myself implementing this rule, it involves reframing my perception of the relationship of table count and hourly. Remembering that the 2 worst tables when playing 6 are not making up 2/6ths of my hourly is key imo.

Lose 700bb pot at 1/2 QQAJ vs KQT9 with fd on 38TQ river flush I really cant run like this forever right? Just constantly losing these spots for the past 100k hands honestly so ****ing stupid.

Where are all these 700-1k bb pots, on GG I have 200-300pots maybe
Is it on global or the Canadian site? seems you get these pots very regularly.

Global. And yeah it’s like once every couple sessions. So basically win those pots and nothing else matters, lol.

Just got randomly disconnected and timed out in a very big pot with a very strong hand on global. Has literally never happened before. I’m honestly trying my best to keep it together rn. I don’t understand why I have to run this badly though. Might just give up on everything or get staking soon. Back to 100s for now.

Edit* BERRIBITTER gtfo this thread not interested in your toxic crap. (Posting insanely toxic **** then deleting so only I see it I guess)

Very strange to me. Was checking out Playnow considering giving it another shot. I don't want to out usernames because if they are clean players it's not fair to them. But 3 accounts sitting on this table (only 200s table running ATM) I suspected of collusion and had reported to support. Had mentioned it to another reg I guess 4 or 5 days ago now.

The strange thing to me is this is 6 new accounts (ie I don't have them tagged). Normally games that run on this site I have 4-5 players tagged, which is why it was odd to me.

So anyways I think this is odd, but keeping watch on the game I see two of the players I believe to be colluding involved in some small pot. flush runout, player checks back nut flush on the river. Believe there was a straight flush out there, so not technically the nuts. Ended up being flush over flush, no bets went in at any point. I think this is worth of reporting, especially considering that I am suspicious of this accounts already. And part of my suspicion is they don't raise each others limps, and virtually never put in bets against each other post flop when HU. But play totally different vs players I have tagged as regulars or recreational.



Get this response. "please stop spying on players". In this site, it is impossible to get HHs unless you're dealt in. And no saved HHs to actually do a check on these players. And after losing 10k in these games I'd rather actually make sure nothing weird is going on before playing.



after this, I say something along the lines of "I totally understand your policy, I know you aren't the security team and can't do anything about it right now. Can you please take down the HH that I just witnessed and forward it to them though." - after this the support rep started typing then just ended the chat and I lost the rest of the log.

I totally understand that one suspicious hand isn't evidence of collusion. But requiring me to have a HH ID, which I can only get by being dealt in on the table, is so frustrating. Seems like the 200s games on this site are dying now that there's a ton of these new accounts. Some regular type guy was also open sitting 200 at the time of writing this, but didn't sit in this 200s ring game.

Additionally, I see none of the accounts that were sitting at the 1/2 PLO ring sitting in any of the NLH games running. So if this is legit, all 6 of these accounts I don't have tagged (ie new) are just deciding to sit PLO and only PLO. Which is a little odd as well.

I have no conclusive evidence obviously, but this is just me trying to give some more context to why I'm feeling so suspicious of this site.

In this downswing I'm in,

roughly 10k from Playnow. Roughly 4k from Global. Down some large amt on Unibet as well.

Up on ACR, Pokerstars, GG.

Down negligible amounts on Betonline and iPoker.

Very frustrating for me to have the bulk of my downswing coming from a site where I'm seeing these weird things happen.

But yeah, maybe I'm just paranoid. Maybe 6 new accounts all decided to go sit PLO independently of each other, and 2 accounts that I've always seen playing together are just mass multitabling and accidentally checked back the nut flush twice. Who knows. All I know is, I probably shouldn't put more money onto this site.

Would never play there ever again.

Chance of it being housebots just went up massively imo.

you should just switch over to live poker if you're so worried about collusion/cheating. at the end of the day it will only get worse over time imo. you should look for private games or hit up your local casino. games would also be way softer, maybe even ship the remaining bankroll to live cash games at the WSOP in a month, prob not too bad of an idea.

Honestly man, thanks. I know I am paranoid of cheating 100% to the point where people won't take me seriously. But have felt like I'm going crazy until I got some evidence despite it being inconclusive at best. Having someone agree with my take (wasn't just you, once I presented this evidence some ppl in the main strat discord I'm in agreed with me) makes me feel so much better. The feeling of dumping money, being convinced something isn't right, and getting clowned on for it is just awful. Agree housebots or private bots would make sense. None of the players have chatted afaik. No idea if it's actually affecting my winrate if it's the case, as I don't know if they are card sharing or not. But yeah just never going to play there again now that I have some solid evidence I can actually base my feelings on.

On another note won 12bi today safer at 1/2 again. And didn't get disconnected in the middle of any pots. Also just gonna cut my sessions a little earlier and let the 2 hour rathole timer runout for tables I'm deep in to avoid massive flips vs whales. At least until I'm more settled bankroll wise.

I am considering some plans for WSOP - will have to see how the next couple weeks go. Also firing a bunch of the omaholic events on GG on Sunday. Will ideally find backing for bigger WSOP stuff but haven't started asking around yet, so will get on that. Would also prefer if my GF could come with me, but she's HK citizen so it might be a little awkward, I'm not sure. Might also just go for a short trip and ignore the backing / just battle some of the low stake stuff and play lowest stakes cash.

Yeah casino is soft, so are private games. Will likely transition to them at some point. Honestly right now I want to prove to myself that I'm capable in the online streets. I enjoy improving my game and playing interesting hands against capable opponents.

Yea.

I have seen these patterns before on a lot of apps/banana sites.

Small site w what looks to be a small player pool, log in day after day and its a wave of new players but the running table number never grows.

From what ive seen on some of the apps, fish bots are a real thing. Bots sharing hole cards are a real thing also.

Have to be quite careful where/what games you play in these days. But with that said no need to be hyper paranoid. If want to have a 10k month is still very doable.

You post long enough to know users cant delete their posts. The ''insanely'' toxic stuff i wrote? Who in sane mind, will read the pile of trash you are posting and will stake you? Nothing ''toxic'' Some advice you give is terrible and it seems you have a ton of leaks, technical and mindset. Invest in a mindset coach or you will never be a top player

go troll somewhere else, don't care what you have to say buddy

That is a wild response from support.

Nice tread, enoyed reading. Gl in your grind and keep posting your 'based' opinions.

Down 1k in MTTs again today. Honestly these things only seem good if you’re lucky. Min cashed a $55, everything else straight down.

Can't really beat these guys, he bet called flop lol!

yea, his line is atrocious but your hands a fold pre though. assuming this is like 100 or 200 rake structure you're losing around 15-18bb/100 on the preflop call.

Yeah just trying to play hands vs this guy :/ he's got 1k BBs as usual just obliterating everyone zzzz
