PokerStars: €241 --> €571 +€330
WPN: $233 --> $0 -$233

Busted my bankroll on ACR. 5th on a €20 Hyper + €100x4 spin&go. Not happy with the way I'm managing my bankroll, still rushing to higher stakes as I'm running out of $.
Figured out a lot of Poker caused pain permeates the other compartments of my life and that is counter-productive and seriously debilitating. Start compartmentalizing.

Booster. Headphones to be weared.

I respect that you are posting honestly about your results, that's good to do.

The point of all this is to have a diary where my f***-ups are engraved so I cannot forget or create false narratives. I am obliged to face them.

✞ Let this be the last time ✞

Being honest about your sessions is great, but what are you doing to change. It seems like you have more of a gambling problem than anything else. Why are you even near a Roulette table if you're going to try and make a living out of this? At this rate you have absolutely 0 chance of success.

You can thank everyone for their input and say that you are not going to repeat past mistakes all you want, but so far that's all we are seeing. I promise you that there isn't a person reading this thread that doesn't want to see you turn it around but instead of discussing what steps you need to take to do that, you just keep on posting bad results.

This place is a wealth of knowledge from a lot of guys who have been there. I suggest you step back from poker/ gambling and invest some time into identifying and correcting your issues. I bet this thread would be a whole lot more positive and helpful if it switched from watching your downward spiral into helping you get in control of your demons so you could take a realistic shot

Hello Everyone,

I am back on the felt!

This is my nicks, old and current: Sharkscope player group

Taking a more disciplined approach now and working on my game with a couple friends using Raise Your Edge Masterclass' charts.
Trying to play 200 MTTs/month at ABI15 on PokerStars.it and WPN.

BankRoll: €600,00

It has been a while: we lost the son, I worked off my debts, saved up and invested in crypto pre-covid and ended up with more than $50K. Then GME happened.
Lost more than $40k buying GME at 290 and BB at 18. With the few thousands left I desperately tried to make it all back playing on ACR and... I started making 5 figures scores.
I quit my job March 2021 and went on grinding online, live and traveling.
I even ended up playing the 2021 $10k WSOP ME in vegas, qualified winning a $250 single entry sat, the first one I had played.

8/23. Or has $115 bounty. In retrospective obvious fold.

Going to review these and take notes here.





Interesting hand in early stage $109 bounty ACR.

Yatahay Network - 750/1500 NL (8 max) - Holdem - 8 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (SB): 125,736
BB: 160,321
UTG: 152,786
UTG+1: 126,031
MP: 109,150
MP+1: 93,030
CO: 44,850
BTN: 44,290

8 players post ante of 200, Hero posts SB 750, BB posts BB 1,500

Pre Flop: (pot: 3,850) Hero has K Q

fold, UTG+1 raises to 3,450, MP calls 3,450, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls 2,700, fold

Flop: (13,450, 3 players) 5 4 Q
Hero checks, UTG+1 bets 4,439, MP raises to 11,878, Hero calls 11,878, UTG+1 calls 7,439

Turn: (49,084, 3 players) J
Hero checks, UTG+1 checks, MP checks

River: (49,084, 3 players) 6
Hero checks, UTG+1 bets 12,271, MP raises to 93,622 and is all-in, Hero raises to 110,208 and is all-in, fold

Hero shows K Q (One Pair, Queens)
(Pre 49%, Flop 82%, Turn 95%)
MP shows 6 6 (Three of a Kind, Sixes)
(Pre 51%, Flop 18%, Turn 5%)
MP wins 248,599

Plan was to check-raise turn, but I would rather put in the flop 3bet given we are three-way.
I don't love the bluff-catch with UTG1 still in the hand. Also MP bluffs that check back turn are only JXs spades. [Uploading Image...]

Gonna review some fresh deepruns from yesterday-s sesh before going into last weekend's action.

$33 Hi5 #67 - $50,000 GTD

fold ATo UTG full ring 250x paristack. Tight is right early on.


Standard hand, I would call AQs ip. We do have 31% pot odds.

Hand 0: 70.639% 66.74% 03.90% { JJ+, AQs+, AKo }
Hand 1: 29.361% 25.46% 03.90% { AQo }

If I add TT to his range then we have a break-even call.

Hand 0: 68.477% 65.16% 03.31% { TT+, AQs+, AKo }
Hand 1: 31.523% 28.21% 03.31% { AQo }



Standard again. 23% pot odds on the turn. We are bluff-catching river.

Hand 0: 56.825% 55.40% 01.43% { QQ+, A9s-A2s, KJs-K2s, Q7s+, J7s+, T8s+, 98s, 87s, 76s, ATo-A2o, KJo-K7o, Q8o+, J8o+, T9o }
Hand 1: 43.175% 41.75% 01.43% { KhJs }



Fine cbet flop. His lead turn can mean a Q or a J protecting against the flush draw or a semi-bluff with a combo-draw. We have 23% pot odds:

Hand 0: 69.969% 68.36% 01.61% { KK+, AJs-ATs, K8s+, Q7s+, J8s+, AQo-ATo, KJo+, QJo }
Hand 1: 30.031% 28.42% 01.61% { Ac6c }

Hand 0: 76.588% 74.93% 01.65% { AJs, KJs+, KcTc, Kc9c, Kc8c, Q7s+, J8s+, AQo-ATo, KJo+, QJo }
Hand 1: 23.412% 21.76% 01.65% { Ac6c }

Can't really call turn.

Q8s UTG1 fold OK. QJo UTG fold OK. 125x


FOLD PRE


Check, call flop

86x SBvsBB 123x Q9o 3.5x raise. Better limp, call, good postflop playability.



No reason for oppo to take the lead flop. Ok call turn. River he should actually have only one pairs and TX that semi-bluff flop and turn.


VS two flats ok bet for protection.


We are exploitable by betting flop, better to check call


I'd rather 3bet this form the sb since we cover OR and we don't want BB to get in. Bluff turn is awful as a full-house would trap there.


Nice trapping since OR is UTG.



FOLD PRE


I think its fine


Sticky oppo


Lead turn because of nut advantage and to rep a JX protecting,


With 38% pot odds I think its a good fold. We need oppo to have AJ and 99 to break even.


This is just unnecessary. Open to fold instead.

Bigger squeeze size. Often drawing dead on the turn



All standard, was going for check-raise turn


Pretty sure I should bet turn


Check-call turn and he might continue bluffing on the river


Better limp-call candidate QJo. Check turn.


Nice lead turn


Bet turn. Pay attention to his stack and position: wiling to play 20x from the sb, lots of aces, so no bluff river.

Been top ten in chips pretty much throughout the entire tournament and with the bubble approaching this DUMB, DUMB, hand happens:


Should have just folded flop, it aint rocket science!

And then chasing losses I punt most of it ON THE BUBBLE!!

Some ICM solutions from a The Big $10 final table.

Final two tables

I widened oppo's calling range and from ATC now this is what we are shoving:


Final table. Very marginal raise. Better fold.



VS HJ open 2.3x, tightening his opening range to this:

Makes this a breakeven shove as last in chips:

We folded OK.


OK Fold

I thought this was more profitable.


Final hand for us:

Seems OK even tightening UTG calling range

From January 2021.
Most recent first four-month periods first five lines and the total at the bottom.

Upped the spending a little after few recent wins but it's not at all time yet. Will play a few supermillions satellites but def shouldn't open anything bigger than 200 and play all the low-mid stakes. Until I have filled this ~30k swing.

Sat the 10k super millions on gg on sunday, 3 bullets in 100$ step, won the 1k sat but busted two levels from end of day1.

Shipped this 50$ bounty on stars.

Playing 23x my only option is really fold pre. Very dumb bet flop!


Good ICM fold here


Another good fold


Bad call


Why not cbet? We have backdraws


No lead turn


Very weird hand, maybe check turn?


Ok to fold J3o I believe


Raise turn?


NO FOLD


OK ICM shove


OK ICM BTN shove


VS shortstack btn open

Don't know how to calculate this since AA would not be a shove so it cannot be an EV reference


Not sure about this either.


Final hand HU

Bounty Hunters Big Game $210
Maybe it's ok in a bounty.



Full range:





Range:

I am behind with the review schedule but I seem to have lowered the abi a bit this month, let's see by the end of it.
Took a desperate shot at higher stakes yesterday since I had cash on accounts from sunday. After the VENOM day2 bust I was very resolute at only playing <50$ but I did open right away the $215 100k on acrt along with the two $109 and ended up busting both.

$215
Need to study better preflop vs rfi ranges:

And opening ranges too apparently:

Limped pre, xx flop, I like the lead to get value from draws, 22, 33 and overcards with blocker.

3x, c; bet 1/3, c; x, x; I should go bigger at least 75% pot.
