Good Morning 2+2,

This thread is going to serve as a reminder for me to stay focused and to gain back some discipline I have lost in the recent months.

As an Australian I was under the impression that online poker was off limits, that was until someone told me that if you had an account on ACR before the legislation was passed you can now access and play on the site, lucky me I made one long ago but never deposited as crypto was still quite new and scary to me at the time and all I really wanted to do was rail the big games.


Like most of you I have the generic story of discovering poker while in my early 20s not really taking it seriously at the time and then moving on with life in the meantime.


Fast forward 5 years, I have just left the military (medical discharge) and during my downtime while working on my rehabilitation I rediscovered my love for poker and I started consuming all the content I could find on Twitch and YouTube.

Now that I am able to deposit and I have the downtime to really put some hours in I think this is the perfect time to attempt something like this.

During my downtime post injury I have fallen off with my mental and physical health as well, I became a lazy alcoholic who started to blame the world for their problems instead of just accepting that this is the cards I’ve been dealt so that too shall be a priority whilst conquering this.


I am a Sydney local who sometimes dabbles at the star casino a little more then he should, which again will be something else I work on.


My username on ACR is Mashed1 and my twitch name is the same as here feel free to say hi if we’re ever on the same rail together.


In my spare time I love to stay physically fit and workout as best as I can, I also enjoy watching poker on twitch or YouTube. I have aspirations of international travel towards the end of the year once the boarders open up, I always said as soon as I was out of the army I would head straight to Vegas for a holiday. The ultimate goal for me would be WSOP 2022 assuming the world is back to some sense of normality.

Strict 80-100 Buy-In Bankroll Management.

Good luck everyone

We are off to a great start I won a seat into a $13 satellite for $1.

Now the harder part is to ship it. GLGL OP.

GL! Would advise a bit safer bankroll management though if you have some more money or if you win some at the start, although the level of play at the micro stakes is super awful ofcourse

Well just finished the first session and great news I shipped the $215 ticket.

its nearly 4.30am here so im heading to bed after only a short session.

Played about 6 $1.50-$3 on demand games

Bankroll currently $137 + $215 ticket See you all in a few hours.

Starting 2nd session for the day, using the 215 ticket in a PKO 10k, could be a massive boost to the roll early on.

Little luck never hurt.

We bubbled the 215 PKO sigh...

was down to 5 bigs are being so card dead got it in with J3s bvb A7s

Flop j52 turn 3 river 4....

So close

GL OP.

I'd fold J3s on the bubble there. If there's any chance you can squeak your way into the money by folding with a short stack that's how you should generally play I believe. Better luck next time, I know that's a big shot for you currently.

I was 5BB stack, next lowest was 20BBs and it was folded to the SB who I thought is shoving any 2.

top 6 paid

Good luck.

unfortuently some expenses have come up in life and I had to withdrawal a large chunk of my roll

That was the world's shortest attempt at pro poker
