lol.

Not struggling at all, sorry to disappoint you. It's bizarre you're pointing fingers, when you're the one living in your mom's basement (I'm a HSMTT-reg with a good life, lots of non-poker stuff in it too. You couldn't know this, when you posted your nonsense, but you knew there's a good chance, I'm not a broke loser like you are. Not that this matters, but I know it hurts your ego, so I couldn't resist.)

Oh well.

It's okay.

Lol, I wouldnt even categorize the friends I know that play 10ks and the rare high roller as grinders. They're well, well beyond that. They don't have to grind, that's the entire point of having a 7 figure bankroll!

Once you get to that level, your volume isn't important any more. Unless you're a spending degen, you don't *need* to play.

LOOOOL ifkr.

TY for the compliment. Also TY for leaving out the "If you want to be cruel" at the beginning and the "lol" at the end of my sentence. This is not my position, but it's one I've heard from a bunch of people over the years and they had some pretty compelling arguments.

I sure as hell am. Sign me up bro

aka

yeah that's me

"In better hands" as in the hands of those winners who very often do some combination of drugs/cheating money/strippers/tax evasion/degenning at blackjack (eg OP among millions of these winners) and losing a lot of it back, and whatever else they degen on? And end up as broke losers/degens themselves and have nothing to show even 5, 10, 15 years later? LOL.

Maybe it's not your argument, but as I said it's completely hopeless to debate. Not even worth bother because those who say dumb **** like that are as delusional as OP or even more delusional, and it's akin to talking to a brick wall

Following that logic you could also play one table of NL1k with that roll..

Hint: you are exposing your bankroll to much more variance playing 3 tourneys for 500$ than playing 500 1$ MTTs

Also how the **** did you spend 500$ in these? Cold4b shoving deuces pre add on or what?

Nice stereotype. I was talking about people/winners with a head on their shoulders.

Here at 2+2 we should be a team. Aiming to be the best we can at poker.
That's why its a strategy forum. OP should be aiming to be best he can be at playing mtts which he's focusing on atm. If he's degening a bit which he is by playing above his bankroll he's being told. He also plays a bit scared just trying to finish itm rather than trying to accumulate some chips and get deeper which will make you a profitable mtt player because those deep runs add up.

Pretty sure you have to show proof you're actually looking for work if you claim unemployment welfare.

Also pretty sure you can't claim special coronavirus welfare if you didn't actually lose a job in the first place. Your wife can, but not you.

So you acknowledge that buying into $70 MTTs is bad bankroll management right? Now multiply that by the fact that you didn't just buy in once but multiple times. Now throw in the fact that had you landed a big score you would have splurged a big chunk of the money that you won on vacations, or phones, or handbags and you have a recipe for failure.

If you want to play MTTs they should compromise at most 10% of your total volume. Most of your volume needs to come from grinding cash games if you want to have any chance of long term success.

And quit being obtuse. You can't be so blind and dumb to say "Apart from the multiple $70 MTTs I was using good bankroll management". That's ignorant and ******ed. You really are a troll 6betme.

So if you play 40 hours a week of cash you should only play mtt's 4 hours a week? Even pub mtt's last 5-6 hours. I suppose you can play 160 hours of cash and then play a mtt once a month.

If you were playing 2/5 live and had a $12,000 bankroll would playing a $170 mtt once a month be to risky? Would you wait until you have $17,000 and then play.

Dont argue on semantics. The main point was that the vast majority of your volume should be from cashgames sprinkled with a few tournaments here and there, so your cashgame winrate can absorb the added variance from the donkaments.

6 bet what are the highest cash games running in Melbourne? do they run 5/10 on the regular? any higher? Do they have 100/200 stud 08?

For one of the first times i am seriously weighted towards some of this has to be trolling. Like i have suspected trolling many times before dont get me wrong-, i do know the guy is real and all that- but i just cant pathom this if all he is posting is for real. Its like out of this world on all parameters.

This thread is entertaining regardless, but i mean come on. Ive met many clueless delusional people in my life, but this simply cant be real.

^^

You've got to try and get into his headspace. Poker is not really important to him (not much is, including people, but I don't wish to be too cruel in these difficult times).

On the other hand this blog is the single most important thing in his life because it provides the attention he so desperately craves.

Op has proved over and over again, he has a successful formula for hooking his audience.

It's a roller coaster...right now we are down in the pits after multiple ******ed HH and some off the plot nonsense posts.

Soon to come, one of his contrite posts, that will line us all up again on the up side.

Rinse and repeat, ad nauseam.

It is all terribly sad but compelling at anytime, especially when we are all locked down with so much time to waste.

Plus we all want to see how Season 2 ends.

I've come to the opinion that he just says things he knows will get people talking because he enjoys the attention. This thread is by far the most popular in PGC and he knows it.

Depends what you mean by trolling. I'm pretty sure all the details are real, but OP is clearly doing this for attention/ego/validation. This post gives it away imo:

Well, the long time 6bet-fans know for a fact this is all real, so I don't think anyone wants to get into that. As far as the "troll-posts" go, I think you might underestimate the excesses a narcissistic mind is capable of. Once the ego gets hurt, rational thinking goes out the window. Your thoughts tend to revolve a lot around what others think about you or whether they appreciate what a superb human being you are! Those thoughts can effectuate the incapibility to have rational thoughts. So in the heat of the moment (eg someone insulted you, in your opinion) a narcissist is WAY more likely to say something out of proportion, something he might regret saying afterwards, than a non-narcissist.

Since I have those tendencies myself and battle them on a daily basis, I see so many of the pitfalls OP has to go through coming from a mile away. I'm being a dick to him, because I wish someone would have said these things to 25 y/o me. But my parents/friends etc were all like "you go boy, you totally got this!", when all I needed was someone close to me yelling in my face David-Goggins-style: "you're a ****head and need to get your **** together or there will be consequences!"

I'm completely addicted to this thread. It's my dirty little secret. It's like looking at a caricature of myself.

Last season DL said that 6b made things seem worse than they are and not everything should be taken at face value. Something like that. He's obviously embellishing and being so flippant to get a reaction out of people. Which is fine because he's entertaining .

6b, you should write a guide on bankroll requirements in the beginners section. I'm sure many here would be fascinated and the beginners would learn something.

Op still cares about the money and min cashing. Might be time to change your tournament strategy op.

another

Maybe op is careless with his money as well. He's also probably too giving.

another

Op worried about the money in game. something you can fix op.

you have that op.

Maybe give up the beers and put some time into studying. That's what I'm doing.
