I'm not sure that will be the solution. Seems like you're in a rush to get up from the table and book wins. The more hours you play, the more exposure you have to losing the win and i'm not sure you can handle that.

Didn't you literally post 12 hours ago that you had an anxiety attack and had to walk away from the table?!

Then you came back and played a tilt / spewy game in stakes bigger than you can handle in a game you don't really play and it worked out for you this time.

Is $40k really the dream? I guess "we sweating" because every week your net worth goes down and you're a few bad sessions away from dropping under $10k.

At some point you'll have to do something desperate. Some of us can see the train lights in the distance coming towards us, whilst others are more oblivious until it's too late to move.

30 hours a week and only if you go below $10k?

You are in a hair on fire emergency RIGHT NOW and should be getting some steady income. If you aren't willing to do that (we all know you aren't) and you truely believe you are a crusher you should be playing 50-60 hours a week MINIMUM.

You can be semi-retired again and play 15 hours a week when you are fully rolled for 5/10/20 or higher and are beating the game handily.

All gd advice.
If anyone catches me in poker room 40-50-60 hours a week; then pull my chair out from under me, stomp on my throat, and shove the cards down my mouth until I suffocate.

3 weeks until first run race ever. The Louisville 10k Triple Crown (that I signed up for during 24lbsin24) March 16th.
We still training for it. we surely not getting our registration $60 back, and not gonna quit. We committed, so we taking it seriously.
Been putting in 10 miles a week. We’re not gonna actually run 10k distance until race day. So if we finish it will b the longest run of my life. Current long 5miles. Then after Triple Crown, we can be #notarunner again.

Monday we grinded the pickle court while my boy stayed home from school w stomach bug. He went back to school today and I went back to the poker room for some 1/3nl.
Bottom set held vs flush draw in the biggest pot of the day.
*still tipping out of cup holder. I want as much chips in play as possible for my double ups. Tipping out of cup holder got me an extra $20 w the set hand dub up. Lol


+836

Still behind 1/3nl 40k pace, but hourly in all games is solid. Just need to get my ass to the room if wanna accomplish the goal.

End of month Feb updates in couple days

If you had your tip money in your stack, instead of off the table, during a hand that you double up wouldn’t you have made a few extra bucks?

lol, that's far too logical!

Whenever I’m over $400 (max buy in) then I tip out of cup holder. Doesn’t make sense to under the max buy in.

I put $400 on the table and $25 in cup holder.
Im hoping u can figure the rest out without me explaining. @masq u seem logical.

considering you're shook by haters these days (evidenced by your ignoring my past 20 questions), i doubt you'll answer me now. hopefully you're having a good day where you can pretend hate fuels you so that you'll oblige this time! fingers crossed.

why not? also, if you're so concerned with maximizing your profits, why not always top up to $400?

how much smarter than the second smartest person ITT would you say that you are? an IQ point estimation is fine. besides you, who are the top #3 intelligent individuals ITT? power rankings are always fun

That makes sense - I figured I was missing something.

I heard them call your name over the speaker for PLO on saturday. I thought about walking over to introduce myself, tell you I am your biggest fan, get a picture and an autograph, but the last time I did that was to Tony Molito and it was a super disappointing meeting. It was at a local pizza joint so I waited until he finished eating with his family and he was getting up to leave. I introduced myself as his biggest fan and asked him to say "I'm a dealer for the people. WOOOOOOOOO" and he refused and brushed me off. I guess that is why they say it is better to never meet your heroes.

1) I hv never bought into 1/3nl short. Always the max, will buy in half the big stack, or top up to half big big stack, and always topping up to $400 most all of the time
For now on, all tips, drink orders, etc coming from cup holder lol.
*Actually buying in for $425. $400 in play and $25 on the. I’m counting tips as part of $40k1/3nl challenge. So I enter initial buy in for $425 now.
2)…
3) @doughboy

glad to see you're having a good day

"Whenever I’m over $400 (max buy in) then I tip out of cup holder. Doesn’t make sense to under the max buy in." is a strange thing to write if you're never under the max buy-in. anyway, the times you are under $400 why tip out of your stack instead of the cupholder? seems like the opposite of topping up.

follow-up question: do you believe yourself to be the most intelligent person ITT?

i thought he said doughboy is the smartest itt

i miss him, he was a great poster

i wd hv made it more awkward than it wd hv been.

Today: +41 1/3nl, +126 2/5nl 3 hours total. (1.5 each). Late start. Kids had a 2hr delay (high winds). 11a-2p.
9 winning days in a row. Not individual sessions, but days.

we need bahbah and rayz standing side by side and shirtless for transparency

why do you tip out of your cupholder when you're above $400 but take money out of your stack when you're below it?

playing PLO is a shortcut to bankruptcy for anyone with your small roll (in particular someone who doesn't know how to play the game; it's not NLHE with two extra cards). how experienced are you playing the game? do you plan on playing PLO regularly these coming weeks?

-it defeats the purpose of keeping max on the table.
If I went below max and not topping off; then I don’t care bout max chips in play. Otherwise, I wd b grabbing those chips in the cup holder and setting them on the mutha ****n’ table.

-shots only when plo line ups look gd. NOT buying in for max, just $500.
Experienced enough to hv an edge.
Never make plans. We all feel.

i'm sorry, but i can't even figure it out your strategy even with your explanation. guess everyone can't be doughboy!

basically when you feel like playing big pots you top up and tip out of the cupholder but when you're not in the mood (feel play!) you play shorter stacked and tip out of your stack to play even smaller pots?

how many hours of PLO would you say you've played in the past 8 years?

Why last 8?
Maybe 50ish hrs. 9total hrs this year.

9 day winning streak came to an end.
Got it all in otf straight draw/flush draw, and bricked everything. -$550

Totals:






The goal is to keep logging more hours than the month before. Way behind pace for 1/3nl $40k challenge.

your biggest fans are curious as to what this is, what its purpose is, and if you could zoom out for the full perspective

looks like $8,531 to me #fulltransparency

For this to b the best backyard pickleball court in all the nation we gonna hv to put some steps in (on high side). When the ball rolls off on that end, it will b much easier to step down than to walk the big rocks.
Also, will need to build up around the bball post. Been taking away any rock there and filling w dirt. When I dunk on my son, I can’t b dropping off behind the goal.

Got 4 stair stringers, and gonna space every 2’ for 8’ long steps. Never done this before, but how hard can it be when ur the most intelligent person itt? <— just messing around.

yeah i'm mostly curious about the storage system, is that standard to store your chips like that? i just toss them in a bag

I assume Rayz uses it as a motivational tool, I wouldn't describe his approach to a lot of things as standard

^ ty @jollibee.

40% of poker players say an “A player” can earn more than $40k playing 1/2nl.

43% of poker players say an “A player” can earn less than $34k playing 1/2nl.

Interesting. I’m grinding less than 16hrs/wk and on pace for $30k. Lol. If did 40hrs/wk I feel I cd make $70k+ a year. *But I'm may b the “A++ player” exception.
