200 zone so far






Sure that my strat isn't 100% optimized for the pool, but I am completely obliterating the pool at a lot of parts of the game tree. I can see their hands and I know how they should play in theory and my exploits are just on point on most spots.

I might be making some punctual mistakes like in the AA hand and the J9s hand from the last page, but my overall strat is doing very well vs how people are playing on average and that's what matters, I'm just getting coolered a lot and there's nothing I can do about that.

Don't get me wrong, I've made some punts so far, but most of it was because I had trouble with the timebank and panicked and tbh it's hard to play the best when running bad.

Btw, your strat talk from the last page was really fishy, a lot of very bad advice and fish logic in there, not sure if you should be a good judge on how hard the games are.

I feel like your the type of player who would really benefit from coaching. You have the drive to play and think about theory quite a bit but seem to have ALOT of leaks. And i could be wrong but haven't seemed to put up a solid winrate at any level in quite some time?

lolololol. I absolutely crushed 5z all the way too 200z in less than 2 years for more or less 1M hands, and even after my one and only 15BI downer at 200z, i was still a huge winner at 200z. I still am a winner today even though i havent played too much lately because of uni, just not crushing as much since i havent studied lately and the pool is much harder than it used to be.

Sure in theory maybe A9 tptk is a triple for value BvB or maybe in your jerkoff land at Stars (even then im sure it's not +EV against most players), but on iggy you are owning yourself and you are not good >50% when called ever. You"ve always had a habit of dismissing good advice from better players anyway, so no surprise there.

Your graph at 200z is abysmal and losing 15BI in 10k at 50z is ridiculous, and the only thing that's more ridiculous and LOL is saying that you're owning the pool despite dropping nearly 30BI in under 30k hands at 50z and 200z. You've gone on twice the biggest downswing ive encountered at iggy, 15BI, that ive experienced once over 1M hands, in 20-25k hands. Congratulations. Keep doing what you're doing to "oblierate" the pool with your almighty theory knowledge and absolutely perfect exploits/extreme deviations from theory

As Garbagereg said and precautioned, you got raped at Zone. Keep telling yourself it's mainly runbad. You're just getting owned by the pool

Im out. You used to be at least somewhat likeable and someone people could root for, but you're going down the path of 6betme/sound like Paisting nowadays. This thread's a joke now

I've got a coach and I've had another one in the past, talked to a lot of different players and study groups in my journey. I know way more than what you think and I did my best do look as worse as I could in this when I was grinding on stars for image purposes and inducing people in there.

And a lot of players have leaks, some are exploited by the pool, some aren't, also some "leaks" might be actually good strat vs the pool. I'm ofc working on fixing my leaks that lose more EV vs people on bodog.

Btw, gonna take it slow and 1-table 200 zone for a while and work more on my strat now, it will be good to have more time to think about hands and try to play more optimally. Gotta take all the EV I can in most spots, also the timebank at zone is very small, so it's good practice to be more confident in my new ranges and sizes so I don't get confused and panic with the short timebank.

Why are you even on 200z when you were a 50 zoom player and getting owned on 50 zone? Your backer must be even more deluded than you are.

Why put so much effort in? It's not like he listens to anything you or anyone says.

Spoken like a true regfish

Imagine not being a winner on ignition ;-[

There are many rooting for Rapidesh, a lot just stay quiet because they're (oddly) scared of the idiot trolls in here. His openness and honesty is respectable. People dong well in life or happy with who they are cannot be as angry and bitter as some people in this thread are.

i'm rooting for rapidesh

Why does ignition show opponents holecards on a hh even if the hand didn't go to a showdown?

They are revealed 24hr after the hand is over and you download them. Helps to combat collusion/botting since people can review their databases.

The dude claiming he is playing in a tough pool despite never having a downswing >15bi must be a time traveler from 2006.

Why are there so many ******s on 2+2?

I never said iggy was a tough pool. I simply pointed out it isnt as big of a goldmine it used to be like 4 years ago, and waltzing into 200z like it's taking candy from a baby is dumb.

And if you cant wrap your head around the fact it's possible to only have a maximum of a 15BI downer over a million hands due to a combination of a huge winrate/running not too cold and not playing like a spaz ****** all the time, then you're an idiot.

Pretty unfortunate you cant wrap your head around that in 2020. Though i completely understand why if you have a 2bb/100 winrate and "run like dirt" lul

what is a “huge winrate”

Never losing more than 15bi in 1 million hands and referring to it as running "not too cold" made me giggle

Ty guys!

Yeah haha, all his talk sound so much like BS, all I needed to know he wasn't any good was his HH analysis, which tbh isn't terrible, but it's easy to identify someone's knowledge by looking at what kind of logic they use. And all that 15 BI thing is just not what happens at poker, we're supposed to face huge swings even at very high winrates, it's just not possible to achieve high ones without increasing the variance because of how important small spots turned out to be in these days.

Poker

Running better, still negative, but getting there! Studying so much and I'm probably with a big winrate by 1-tabling, obv not the best EV/h situation but I still need to memorize my new ranges on every spot.


Corona virus

Living in a big center in Brazil is probably one of the nut worst spots to be in imo, this virus will kill a lot of people, it was already hard to find empty hospitals before this and it will get insanely worse. People in here are ignorant and love touching/kissing/hugging, it will spread really really fast.

The gto solution I found was to either be contaminated insanely fast to get treatment soon while people aren't or to delay it as much as possible. I think that every week I can delay will increase my survival rate(and my family's) by a lot. I think within 2 weeks from now it will be actually an apocalypse where I live.

I'm in lockdown mode atm, gonna dedicate insane hours to poker, gonna take these tough times to work on myself and hopefully be in a better life position after all this.

I'm not sure if you guys know it, but I'm a very paranoid person when it comes to those apocalypse type of things, I've spent a lot of time in my life thinking about how would I deal with a zombie apocalypse, thought even about which building I would raid and how many Marlboro boxes and Jack daniels I would store haha + OBV whey powder(best apocalypse food? ).

I've set things in a way that I can stay in my house for a long time, gonna swim at my house instead of going to the gym, got 6 months of weed stored, gonna go one last time to get my groceries soon, probably will store a good stock of monster and ingredients for cooking. I wish beef jerky was a thing here in Brazil, but I haven't seen one in 10 years

I've quit my singing classes and my shrink too, hate doing those by conference and won't go out with my friends anymore. It's annoying because I was finally meeting a lot of new people and was having fun with some new friends I've made that are very outgoing, but gotta do this for the greater good.

One thing I'm 100% gonna do is to play this game, it's probably the best time to play it haha



My brother is a big fan of it and its creators are very artistic and very deep into philosophy, it's about a disease that is spreading in a city and you're a doctor from outside that has to stop it. It's made by russians and they made it really hardcore to survive in there, like having to scavenge trash bins for stuff and trade with peddlers loool.


I hope I can get the virus only 2 months from now, let's see if it goes well!

"I'm in lockdown mode atm" hahahaha, the virus really isn't a concern for anyone who is young and healthy. There's no reason why you shouldn't go about your daily business as usual, unless the government/law where you live is physically preventing it.

The problem is that if you get sick, you then infect other members of your family, who then infect your grandparents...

He's overreacting regarding his own health, but your approach is very selfish against the high-risk groups. That's not how to contain the virus

Not surprising that you're ignorant outside of poker too lol

Yep, this, I might be overreacting, but it's better to be safe than sorry, the less I go out(or anyone), better for society in these times. From what I've read, around 20% of people on average have to be hospitalized with breathing difficulties, sure that if they have treatment the death rate is very low, but the problem is that almost nobody will get treatment here.

One friend of mine is a doctor and he always says it's already hell in the hospitals he works on and he saw a lot of people dying because of lack of resources during his career.

Also have asthma and I smoked for 7 years, I quit it some months ago, so my lungs aren't the healthiest and the reason why I quit was because I had very strong breathing problems during one night and it was so traumatic that I knew I was going to die if I kept smoking that.

On top of that my 2 grandmas are in really bad shape, one just went through a cancer treatment and the other has heart problems. And I live in Brazil, it's not like I live in a countryside town in england where nobody hugs each other, it will spread in here really really fast.

Btw, let the memes begin

Yeah, I was just at Walmart, there was no meat, bread, can goods, toilet paper, etc. Half the store was cleared out, it's fricken insane. And I'm in the US in a county that's still without a single confirmed case.

^I remember when there were only 4 confirmed cases in my country, and yet I alone knew at least 10 people that had it.

A large majority of people just never get tested. It also takes like a week for the symptoms to start showing and you can infect others way before that.

My wife who works in a library is now working from home, and a lot of the schools around here are also closed. (midwest usa)

Our county had like 8 confirmed cases last week. No idea what the numbers look like now.

unbelievably angering post to read. ffs

acting like every single thing your government tells you is gospel is ridiculous.

it is literally the responsibility of the young to be mindful, for the benefit of those who are vulnerable. spreading the message you are conveying is the single biggest reason that more people are going to die

please, please reevaluate spreading this dangerous message
