some pics from Lebanon. I stayed at the Portemilio resort for two nights had to stay true to myself

The game is now 50/100/200 with the occasional 400 on.. insane game

In for 9k, was down to 2k. Out for 17. Phew

Ended up actually cashing out for 29k on the night. Won a massive lot towards the end . The casino closes at 3:30 and it was one of the last lots I got it in pre vs the two big whales of the game with aces and held for like a 22k pot. + 20k session ��

I know I’m supposed to be on break.. but playing the same game again tomorrow night . It’s gonna be one round of 4 card and one round of 5 card. Should be interesting. The “regs” (plo100 level) are already talking about kicking me out of the game though they thought I was some American fish lol

I’m missing my routine of grinding online everyday. Just not really possible in this country given my circumstances rn

Booked a small win yesterday. The politics of the game are not going in my favor . I got added to their group chat and shortly got kicked out. Think I need to start giving some action but idk if it’s worth it given it’s a big game I can’t really splurge around in

Gl portemilio. Will follow the thread/progress.

A good reg has joined the thread ! Welcome

I found a gaming network im gonna start working from here. its 2.5$/minute, so im gonna take the hit (kappa). Its actually kinda sick ngl will show pictures later. Downloading all the poker apps and will be playing within no time. I took like 2 weeks off so im guessing im not gonna be as sharp as i was when grinding everyday but excited to get back to it

GL!

Im rusty in a lot of spots that came intuitively to me before. Gonna need like 20-30k hands before im probably back in good shape. Its crazy how taking a break affects the level of play for me, which honestly sucks. To be fair I do hold myself to a high standard but I wish maintaining it wasnt as difficult as it was. The fact that i cant take a couple of weeks off to enjoy myself without feeling like this is definetly annoying because i was definetly peaking skill-wise before leaving for Vegas. I did two weeks of live poker in vegas (strictly 4c, barely played online). Then i went to Lebanon on the 24th and havent played any in Lebanon. So thats basically a whole month of no 4-card play (online). Will be keeping track of my winrate and try to play as close to as I remember. I blame the ADHD it causes my memory to be quite trash but I'm sure im just overreacting.

And by skill I'm talking less about theory but more about my perception of the game. Like definetly a bit of theory but more how timing affects how my opponents play, which spots are understabbed or overstabbed etc. (basically the exploitative side of omaha that brings in higher WR) Small things that I could act on almost instantly that I now have to somewhat think about. Just gonna be playing 2/5 for now until im more confident

starting to feel good again!!! ill try to post some hands tomorrow once they download

While you switched over to 5c bc your staker realized you couldn’t beat 4c, the ppl you were shitting on like Jnandez and Kaki are playing like 30-40x your stake on their own dime. Kaki just had a +200k session on coinpoker lol. You’d think after getting **** on by so many ppl and closing your blog you’d be a bit more humble, but, hey, you’re doing just fine on stakers BR, gl bud. Also find it absolutely fkn comedy that you lurk portemillos thread on a daily basis.

Sorry for derailing thread porte, hope you crush the lives games in Lebanon, glgl.

Kaki had 50% of his own action as he says in the end of his latest video. still a great win obviously, but facts are facts.

Thanks, didn’t know that. So he made closer to 100k than 200k. How much did Knox make in that 8k pot he posted? Dude shitted on so many ppl in his blog yet every single one of them plays way higher and is clearly in a better financial position than him. I was hoping he got humbled a bit but dude is clearly deluded.

How is the grind going, op?

Will update in a couple of days. I’m back in the live game mix. It’s 25/50 for the first hour or until one of the VIP gets tilted and decides to bump it up to 50/100 and the lash couple hours of the night are 100/200 The 200 straddle is also basically mandatory and the 400 is on occasionally when it becomes 100/200. It’s been swingy as **** ngl. It’s standard variance but its a big shot take so I definetly have some entitlement tilt or whatever it is to win in the game even though realistically it might not happen despite my edge. Definetly the most variance money wise I’ve experienced in my life. I got two friends (one I met through this forum) and another I’ve talked to for a while buying a piece of me but I still half half of my own action. I was up 20k and am in the hole around 20-30k ish now. It’s probs one of the best games I’ve ever played it’s just been brutal lately I’ve basically lost every all in for the past 2 days. I’m trying to detach myself from the money and just play my game until I hit my stop loss. It’s gonna be really hard to leave even if I leave based on how these guys are playing

All good man. Glad you have some common sense. That guy sucks cba w him anymore but def do miss anti sweating his blog (which im assuming he’s doing with me)

These hands obv standard I just lost but really good spots for 15k+ multiway
A couple of hands in 5c have been ridiculous too. I hand some videos of other hands but idk how to post on here . Mostly just spots where im chopping just massive pots with infinite equity. And then the pots where im basically flipping opponents are running it once and im getting scooped. A lot of shenanigans like that. I’m probably run 100k below EV if not more.
I need a small loan of 200k to play this game at max potential feelsbadman. The fact that im only down mid 20ks is honestly a win lol

^^^ The A996 double suited hand above is no where near as good as you think it is and would have been better not showing as a "look how well I had it situation." You had it horrible preflop. With "infinite" being the new catch phrase, I will play with you for infinity and let you have A996 double suited all day.

Tell us how you really feel

This wasn’t the hand I was referring to where I had infinite equity I was referring to other hands where I chopped running it twice. Anyways not the point just in general running bad in the game. it’s standard variance it just hurts more cuz it’s the highest I’ve ever played. I got it in vs dry 98 and a gutter and worse FD. It’s definetly a good spot MW.
And A996 ds is a standard open pre idk what ur on it was 1.3 spr on flop with all the straddles and just potted flop oop 3 ways after BB checks, no other way to play it

I’ll update in a couple of days once I get more sessions in, still have like 30k before my stop loss

cool blog, following. nice to see someone else playing live HS PLO here! no problems for me getting it in with that combo draw with A996, would even play fine even at SPRs higher than 1.3.
