Last graph was so LOL, more than 2k lost in a month, no ev line, Paisting didn't even play every day. The pit grows deeper.

Which led my last post ITT to be, it must be a joke (he is posting graph for LOLZ).

I don't think it's a troll, but I do wonder if this thread is causing him to lose more and more each month in a quest to prove everyone wrong/his idiotic strategy is correct. Because each month seems to get worse.

Sorry to hear that. What sort of stuff are you doing off-table to improve OP?

Sauna and lots of beer

It's definitely not the worst approach!

Paisting could you post a graph with showdown/non-showdown winnings included? I think you may just have the best redline of anyone who has played 2NL in history.

Finally someone who agrees with me.
Look at how he's dodging all the advices/troll questions/etc... That would blow his cover too fast because it will bring answers. By remaining silent in this thread it expands into 140 pages of people wondering who this guy is...

Also at everyone saying "Noone is gonna spent that much"... Have you guys heard of Guy Laliberté? You guys think he thought he could beat the top pro's playing at nosebleeds?


.... and thats only 1 of his accounts

Nice try, troll. You really expect us to believe that you believe that Paisting is a troll?

To sum up: He sits in a chair for 26 days a month dribbling and eating the occasional crayon whilst playing the lowest stake poker game available on the internet. Some people in the thread are trying the figure out of he has lost the largest amount of big blinds in online poker history.

The one redeeming feature of his play is typing such classics as "NOT FOR SALE" into the chatbox but frankly, this hasn't happened for a while.

Laliberte is a billionaire. OP takes out loans and welfare checks and only eats 1 meal a day in order to fund this. I think there's a big difference.

If he stopped playing for a year he'd already have gotten the 16k back. If he stopped playing entirely he'd have a decent bit of money.

Comparing OP, who plays 6+ hour sessions at NL2 and wishes death on his opponents to Guy, who was mega rich and could party/do whatever he wanted which was occasionally play the highest stakes poker in the world is really, really dumb.

Im still waiting on my answer too how he dumps 2000$ a month + have life expenses as unemployed guy with welfare money. Normal people work 40h/week all month for that and if OP is really that ******ed like he showed us in this thread its even more impossible to have that amount not even if he gets the biggest bonus money for disabled persons on top of welfare. now ofc he wont answer and in couple of days he will post some of the few hands he got it in good and complains about badbeats as usual

It's been intimated that he has some sort of family money/trust fund that gives him some sort of allowance/stipend every month. You'll notice most months he plays until he reaches a certain loss amount and then kind of stops until the next month.

Anyone thinking OP is a troll has a poor understanding of human psychology.

That's true. He always seems to lose around $2k. Definitely must have some sort of allowance/welfare checks/loans that allow him to only lose that amount each month.

That might be a reasonable explanation... The guy is straight out handicap and live with a fixed amount of money per month. Although this only explain the income, we need more to understand this NL2 OCD.

Explain to me how one person can be the biggest degen in online poker history AND follow the most conservative bankroll management of the vast majority of poker players...

We truly need an expert in human psychology to explain this one.

Paisting's that prescription drug addict that can actually make their script last as long as it's supposed to because he knows withdrawals are going to be hell while waiting for his next fix.

Paisting could work as a mental game coach for degens. Quoting Jared Tendler while berating them when they chase their losses at higher stakes.

Because he thinks he can win and read that you shouldn't move up in limits until you're comfortably beating your current limit. He's not a degenerate gambler, he's just someone with massive tilt issues and some delusions. In a way, he must enjoy doing what he does since he refuses to listen to any advice or move to Stars were he can buy insurance to ensure he never gets sucked out on. By playing 2NL he gets the most entertainment for his money, he can spew like 1000 BI a month and only lose $2k.

Not comparing them at all, they have very different motives obviously.
All i'm saying is that huge whales are not necessary in financial debt or living in depression with mental issues after loosing more than many of us ever dream of winning in poker.

My best guess of OP's profile:
- He's rich. Really rich.
- He's totally okay with the costs of poker like this
- He likes the attention of this thread. Look at how high quality his title is (clickbait), how he is able to reboot the thread from time to time with a graph or some simple remarks.
- OP actually knows his fundamentals of poker. Positional advantage, cbets, steals, etc. In some of his posts he actually makes sense (also from what I've seen him play when not open shoving). But than in other analysis he's making absurd strategies which fuels the thread for a couple days again.
- He's calculated. Not a single true degen gambler would know tools like pokerSnowie, PIOsolver, or even HEM/PT...

It's an odd guy, I must admit. But this profile is far more likely than what many others have been suggesting.

You just described a degenerate gambling addict. I think part of the reason he doesn't want to move to Stars is that he wants to punish the opponents that have min raised him relentlessly solely to, in his mind, ruin his day(/life). What he doesn't understand is that dozens of regs will follow him to whichever site he moves to, so he would have a chance to even the score no matter what.

When I think of degen, I think of a guy who loses a few buyins at a poker table then moves up in stakes or starts playing casino games to chase his losses. Perhaps Paisting is a degen in a way, but he's a very disciplined one at that. He truly believes he has an edge at 2NL and is +EV in those games.

I don't think he's a degenerate because he always has the discipline to stay at 2nl even after all these years and never play higher. I think it's a mixture of huge tilt, ego issues, entitlement, victim mentality and believing his strategy is correct.
