There's a few deltas though.

Your're honest, credible and decent at pokerz...op not so much

Season 4 started slow but this episode has made up for it. Unfortunately for our Hero, his poker skills have deteriorated considerably since last season.

For any of you wondering about this post, this is Global Poker's schizophrenic crackhead that posts all over that sub forum. I think she does it on purpose to troll (likely an indication of a sad life outside of 2p2).

Other than that, 6betme, you are in the same spot you were back in 2018 when you first started posting. Here's where you yourself said you wanted to be in 5 years (April 2023)

"In 5 years time, I'll be 29 years old. I want to have a bankroll of at least $100k and I want to be grinding $5/$10 and $10/$20 live games, as well as 200nl online games (if online poker is still accessible).

At this stage, I also want to be looking at going back to uni. I got kicked out of my previous degree for failing too many subjects, since I spent too long at the casino and skipped most of my classes. It was a shame because I was studying BCom at the top university in my country and I could've gone places; I could've worked as an actuary or an investment banker. But I decided after getting kicked out that I need to get poker "out of my system" before I think about returning to study, which is why I want to grind for the next 5 years harder than I've ever grinded before. I want to make something out of this. I want to turn a sh**ty situation into an opportunity for success."

Is this what you've done? Can you honestly not see that you are lying to yourself about being disciplined and taking things seriously? Are you going to be able to achieve this in the next <1.5 years?

You need help. Not on here. In real life. Get it for yourself, for your wife, and for your family.

For realz. Also massively limits the variance / volatility, which one should aim for when playing on their last dime.

Stockboy storyline has some comic potential, perhaps the writers can investigate that a little bit?

G"cleanupaisle6!",oh6betme,you'reincorrigible!G

What about going back to grinding Uber? That has to be a better investment of your time than degenning off your money one $300 buyin at a time. I mean the job market has to be pretty good right now in Australia with all the anti-vaxxers being hauled off to the internment camps. Somebody has to pick up the slack.

I think he was losing money with Uber - that was a while ago though so he might be profitable who knows really

Well he used to rent a car for uber remember? lul

oh yeah that's right. Damn he doesnt even have a car - maybe ride a kangaroo? He could rent it out to people who need a lift

call it kangaruber

6betme, I recall plenty of other people giving you advise in your previous threads as well. I also remember that you were purposefully ignoring every decent piece of advice that you received.

This is bang-on. However, getting help is possibly the hardest thing one can do. It is essential to recognise the existing problem first. Then you have to WANT to change it.

I wish you all the best 6bet. I must admit that I was very angry with you in the beginning of reading your blogs. I thought that you were delusional. Now I am not angry anymore, not even a bit. I feel sad for you. May God or whatever fictional entity you believe in protect you in your journey.

Owning a car is for normies.

Love that you’re back, 6bm, this thread brings me so much enjoyment. Good luck and may the Schwartz be with you.

Uber might be profitable for a non-idiot but OP rented a car for the purpose so the exercise was costing him money. Melbourne is open now so there are jobs everywhere but that's for normie scum not sick ass poker pros.

Recap from yesterday

So I ended up putting in a marathon 10 hour session of 1/3 NL yesterday. Really proud of myself for that. In for $800, out for $712, so booked a net loss of $88.

Unfortunately, I can't say I didn't degen. You see, I had a mini-argument with my wife earlier that day. We have a little tradition going on where every time I leave the house, I'm supposed to let her know where I'm going, kiss her on the forehead and tell her "love you". But that morning, she was in the bathroom and I was in a rush to get to the casino before the poker room opened, so I sent her a text and left instead. I didn't think it was that big of a deal...

I tend to get pretty stressed after an argument with my wife. She is important to me and her words hurt a lot. So in a lapse of judgement, I ended up taking that stress out at the casino on table games, after my poker session had finished.

It was 10pm, I had a couple of beers, I'd just cashed out most of my poker chips and I headed over to a $25 blackjack table to cool off. My plan was to at least keep my tilt somewhat contained and only bet $25/hand.

The table was mostly full, so I sat down on the one empty seat, next to a cute Chinese girl. She immediately started talking to me and flirting. She wanted to give me a hi-5 every time either of us won a hand.

I noticed she was betting $50/hand as well as a bunch of side bets on perfect pairs. Her perfect pairs kept hitting, which paid 30:1. So I decided to up my bet to $100/hand and bet on perfect pairs too.

It was fun, but ultimately she left the table and I lost $200, so I headed into the VIP room to get a drink and play some baccarat.

I only played baccarat for about 5 minutes, but went on a mini-heater and won $600 there, ultimately netting me a profit of $400 at table games, or $312 profit for the day.

I don't feel great about the way in which I won money, but on a short bankroll, a win is a win.

Thankfully the argument with my wife only lasted a day, and she's happy with me now. So I'm at the casino again today, sitting on a 1/3 NL table from a $200 buyin and prepared to put in another long session tonight. Hopefully I can resist the urge to play table games today and play a solid, nitty, sensible poker session instead.

This can't be real.

+1

I know some people "vouched" for 6bm being a real person but this third season is too far fetched, writers are pushing too hard and is noticeable now.

Still give a non zero chance that this guy is real, but right now I'm 99.5% sure the writer behind this fiction is one of the best trolls out there and got us all for a long time. Prefer that cuz the other option is that OP is the dumbest moron to ever live and that would be kinda sad.

Alright! We are back in action. A win is a win, but you should stay away from table games, because every bet you make there has a negative expected value. At least the poker games should be easily beatable with a nitty, no fps style, because it is almost all random players without nuanced and sophisticated strategies.

I do appreciate your candor, it would be easy to sweep your table game session under the rug, but by honestly confronting your weakness in your blog you have a better chance of overcoming it imo.

ffs man, you always play the -ev table games. you can't help yourself. also:

We all know that's never going to happen. In before you call a 4bet from a nit with Q9 off suit, back-shove pocket 3's preflop to "show them who's boss" and then when you lose a few buy ins, donk off the remainder of your bankroll on roulette and baccarat. You're too predictable at this point.

you know you're dealing with someone several standard deviations outside the bell curve when you truly can't tell which side of the curve they happen to reside upon

Okay, I'll admit it. I currently have a gambling addiction. That doesn't mean I'll still have a gambling addiction in the future. This is something I'm working on fixing.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that. I've had jobs in the past and they didn't get me anywhere except keeping me afloat.

Well for most gamblers, they spew off more money when drunk. I'm trying to be the exception and beat the system though.

Bingo. I've been saying this to people all along.

There's no way to only self exclude myself from pit games, without self excluding myself from the entire casino - something I'm definitely not prepared to do.

Congrats on your wins! Although I really do believe that fixed limit games are a thing of the past. If I'm going to switch from NLHE to something else, it will be PLO.

How does shame accomplish anything? Do you believe that the most successful people are those who walk around deeply ashamed of themselves?

And I'm working on getting my **** together. I'm grinding right now.

Haha I miss him. Don't really speak to him too much anymore, but I believe he's moved on to other things, like sportsbetting, crypto and NFTs.

Thanks man, I appreciate the supportive words. And yeah I'm definitely going to try to mix exercise with poker. I feel that waking up early and doing exercise helps immensely.

It's a habit from playing too much online games. I don't know how great it is at low stakes live tbh. You could be right.

Thanks, but it's still fresh in my mind how much dead end jobs suck, so I don't need that reminder.

Gobbledygeek! I miss you!

Maybe we're just playing in different games, but it's extremely easy to lose $600 even with a nitty $200 buyin strategy when people are throwing out $10 blind raises and stuff preflop.

If he'd 3bet to $70 then I'd have folded, but when he 3bets so tiny (2.5x OOP), I'm priced in to call with almost ATC.

I'm a proven winner at 2/5 NL live and 100nl on the apps. I don't think that classifies as awful.

My wife was working at the hotel and giving me money throughout the year. Also we got a bunch of money from Centrelink (welfare) during lockdown.

Most of it I made from poker. A tiny bit I saved from Centrelink payments.

Thank you! I have a similar plan in mind: buying in for $200 at a time and playing super nitty and nut peddling.

Thanks for reminding me of that old quote. The plus side is it's not too late for me to achieve that goal. I'm 27 now and it is possible for me to build up a $100k bankroll by the time I'm 29. I just need to work hard and stay disciplined.

The job market is great right now, lots of places are hiring, but Uber sucks. Anything would be better than that.

Has this thread really devolved into this? Lol.

It is real. Lots of people can vouch for it.

I'm currently on seat 1, table 26 in the poker room at Crown Casino in Melbourne, Australia. I plan to be here for several hours.

Anyone here can see me and come say hi.

Gambool gambool.

Hand 1: Semi-value bet

1/3 NL, 7-handed, $222 eff

Context: villain is a ~60 year old white guy who was playing very loose preflop.

3 limpers
Hero raises $25 BTN with Ad 3h
Villain limp-calls $25 MP

Flop ($54) Jd Td 4d

Villain donks $20
Hero raises to $65
Villain calls $65

Turn ($175) Jd Td 4d 9s

Villain donks $15
Hero jams $132
Villain calls $132

Nice hand selection to punish those limpers

Damn, that's a bad beat. Running real bad.
