If everything he says is 100% accurate, lack of a bankroll and lack of motivation to grind hard enough to build it. He beats 200nl per his words. Again, assuming 100% accuracy.

Vamoooooooo

enjoy reading your pg and c but i think your attachment to being a strong player and having people think you're a strong player while being stuck in microstakes hell is a huge impediment to growth

Narcissism might be a better definition. Poker forums in general not exactly the best environment for people with narcissistic traits, but who knows.

I hope he succeeds, but at the same time, I DGAF about any advanced play HH he posts (I don´t read them since a long time), or whether he thinks he is a strong player or whatever he posts here to boost his ego.

I used to be narcissistic and delusional (just look in my older threads), I know the difference, I know how reality works now and when I said I was a strong poker player, I meant in an objective way. I've turned into a very honest and straightforward person and that's the way I could describe the way I played based on my experience:




I don't have to prove to you guys that I'm good, I don't care, you guys think that I care too much about that when tbh it's fine lol, it's ok to be a bad player. I've played some 25z on stars and some regs owned me in there, so it's fine, I don't have much of an ego to defend, sure, it sucks to be stuck in the micros again, but it's my fault and I'm working to fix that.

Things are going well, breakeven for the month, but managed to change my routine, in the last 3 days I've exercised 5h and played 17h, will play more 4h today.

VAAAAAMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

also the problem w/500k hands at 200nl in 2 years w/3bb means youre making like $1800/month. You can literally make more than this grinding 25z w/rb.

Just gotta put in the volume. Ignore the haters. I have over 30 people blocked in my thread. I dont even reply to them anymore. 2+2 is such a ****ing dumpster fire. But I started my $100k challenge thread and will have $100k to $1million part 3 soon enough.

cant for the life of me figure this mystery out

You already have my discord, so if you can't put two and two together I don't know what to tell you. Rapidesh figured it out without any help.

do you........sarcasm bro.......?

sounding too condescending towards 25nl regs , also sounding like you have the game solved vs population , 'easy fold' , 'everyone is bad' , 'the nit land', 'quitting this stake cause its hurting my game'

most of these hands are not wp, not even talking about the random spews, but complete misconception of ranges and sizings

you chatting complicated words with 'oop check , not ideal , but its fine vs population, cause i saw an mmasherdog video'

make your own research , fix the basics , you sound delusional . seen you around for a while , and no one gets stuck at 25nl cause they are too good for it

tbf that hand where you probed turn + called the IP raise w/ATo A hi 0 equity then xshoved riv vs ob def falls into random spewy

also tbf its difficult to not be condescending towards 25nl regs

Really appreciate the feedback, MartimC!

Sure, not all of those hh I've posted are wp, as a matter of fact there are huge spews here, also some funky sizings and loose plays that are bad in theory, but it's anonymous poker, I go for the max explo approach, if people overstab and overfold, I'm going crazy with bluffs (obv respecting some sizing/timing tells and some turn cards).

I plan on remaking my game from scratch soon, study all spots on pio 3-4h/day for months,but atm at 25z I have to put a lot of volume and get to 50z as soon as possible to at least put the roll on a steady increase over time, the 50z-200z jump is beyond brutal...

Btw, it's hard not to be condescending at 25z regs, making very little/month in there vs awful plays in there, I'm even getting owned by some guys that play so wrong that they turn out to be right, it hurts. It's totally on me, but hard to not blame the fish/regfish.


Poker noob, AT was fine, vs the 50% probe villains are overbluffing with raises:

You both are 25nl regs with what appear **** winrates lol at both of u condescending towards them.

(well dno what ur winrate is rapidash but cockroach boy is low)

tbf they were bedbugs

well overexploits usually end up backfiring , even if some people let you know what they 'have' through sizings and being imbalanced , doesnt really mean you can go ham on it , solvers actually support this slightly imbalanced strat as theres always a range and theres always hands you can fold and call , and keep it reasonably balanced

you should remake your game asap , pio 3/4 hours a day is completely unnecessary , just work on the basics man if you ever wanna have a change of taking the leap

take care x

im not talking about the spews , just a lot of misunderstanding of rangevsrange and sizings in probably the hands that are the least spewy , which is where you can actually see the bigger picture of your base strategy , which is just not great

This is refreshing to see on another thread. I am going through a similar thing to what you are saying. I had a bunch of stuff I thought was correct and going to help me and when I stepped back and looked at what I actually gained from it, it ended up be little if anything positive for the time put in. Made me completely rethink my approach and found out I need to literally go back to the beginning and basically start over.

It's weird because I have won, but I'm terribly suboptimal in practice and understanding.

Vamoooooooooo back to the basics, no shame about it.

that just doesnt happen , you cant win without knowing basic optimal strategy .. its like charlie carrel triple x/min raising and stacking the guy , and then brag about how he played a hand in a no gto way, and won it .. all his decisions would be solver approved in terms of ev, just not the best line .. but maybe vs that player it could've been , its just knowing gto/basic strategy , and nodelocking in your head, and then referring to that as 'being suboptimal' when this shows a great understanding of gto..

You do realize youre just talking out of your ass now? Coming from me that says a lot lmfao

If you think you cant beat 25z w.o studying solvers then I dont know what to say.

Also Rapidesh wins at 25z and probably 50z. And you told him to work on the basics.

**** me.

cute

i had my fair share over the years , ill skip this one ..

but my point went clearly over ya head

Lmfao. Clearly.

If you clear up your confusion about what the term "basic" means maybe itll make sense. But right now its more of a contradiction than the holy ****ing trinity.

bro you literally selected parts of my text and came up with an extreme conclusion of what i said , you just dont get it... its fine.. and pbb will never will, since what you dont understand you tend to try to make sense out of it , and when it doesn't work you resort to simple ad hominem

im not wasting time , you're not gonna win ..


gl

I'm guessing it just means to simplify the strategy, just knowing what ranges to open and 3bet and 4bet which are sort of the basics, which sizing to use on every texture, which flop textures are good for you, which are good for villain and which are more neutral, then same for turn and river and bet according to this (you can put more money in the pot if your range is stronger and vice versa)

3 to 4 hours of solver work everyday is probably going to burn him out but gamify the studying experience by just drilling spots might make it easier, just make sure to figure out the WHY whenever a bet or a check or a fold happens that you didn't expect (by looking at the response from solver)

and p0ker_n00b being so incredibly abrasive and defensive of people who are just giving out free advice is a little confusing, maybe just ask him to clarify if you're not sure what he means without attacking him or try to make sense of it yourself, no need to talk ****

Be more polite, man.

It's important to know theory so you can exploit better imo.

Btw, studied 2 HU matches I've had on nl100 last year and I've realized how badly I was playing. Need to study more
