I really find it hilarious that 6bet so often casually refers to other players as fish when it’s clear to me he is one himself.

Great thread though!

Me too, absolutely epic stuff. The self insight and ability to see himself from other persons view is just 100 percent non excisting.

So no, i'd say this isn't evidence you're taking poker seriously. Stick to 1/3 for a month with an average of 5 hours a day, then maybe you can tell yourself you're taking this seriously.
This is just so ****ing good.

A much needed miracle session

After initially running bad, tilting and dropping a $300 buyin at 1/3 NL, I left the casino and took a few hours off. Once I felt fresh, I returned again at 1am with another $300 to gamble with.

I sat down on a super nitty 1/3 NL table, so I decide to induce a bit of action by throwing out a $10 straddle UTG. Then this hand happens:

Hero is dealt KQo UTG
MP raises to $30 (aggro fish)
Hero 3bet jams $300
MP calls $300 with AQo
Hero spikes a King and wins a $600 pot

That was just the start of the heater. A few more hands happen:
1) I stack off on the flop flush draw vs top pair and I get there.
2) I barrel flop and turn with a flush draw into someone's trips. I turn the flush and stack him.
3) I flop AQ against OMC's AK on an AJx flop... then I spike the miracle Q on the turn and stack him.
4) I flop bottom set against someone's top pair and I stack him.
5) I semibluff an OESD and get there on the river.

It's like all the run bad I had over the past few weeks just suddenly turned around. Now, I was the one sucking out on them. I was the one winning all the flips and spiking all the miracle turn and river cards. It felt amazing.

I hit a 2k stack at one stage, but eventually lost a decent sized pot JT vs 99 on a JT874 board. I hero called him on the river because the frontdoor flush missed and I didn't think there were many 9's in his range when he called $15 pre, but I was wrong.

So I ultimately cashed out $1757, which works out to be $1157 profit for the day, once I factor in the first session that didn't go so well. Bankroll is up to 5k now, so I'm no longer at the catastrophic level I was at before. Feels really f**king good.

You're just a straight up gambling addict lol. You don't take advice because that would conflict with gambling.

6,

Just think, had you taken my advice and made this run at 5/10 instead of 1/3, you would have prob made like $5k or $6k and be sitting on a $10k bankroll now.

Yes, must be nice to get a couple of solid suckouts for stacks OP when you spazz off your money way behind like in the KQ hand or the flushdraw hand. Variance saved you from another big losing day, not good play or good decisions.

Every gambling addict feels good when they get lucky and win money, perfectly natural.

I think my KQ jam was pretty standard for 30bbs against a guy who's probably opening a looser than optimal range.

Yup, totally standard to stack off for 100BB with KQo after a 10x open. I think I read that in Harrington On Cash Games

Lmao 30 blinds. You are even more delusional than i thought, and just constantly creates any convinient excuse for any questionable play or stackoff you do.

To be honest at his point i am looking forward to the day you go completely broke and get a hard earned lesson, because the way you simply refuse to take any advice from anybody, and the amount of delusional BS you constantly tell yourself in order to defend your horrible decisions is absurd and pissing me off. You have countless accomplished very experienced players ITT,but you either ignore them totally or brush it off what they are trying to get across to you. And continue to write your posts like you are some sort of a teacher, that is sharing off your premium knowledge in poker to this forum-while at the same time express tons of tons of leaks in your game and decisionmaking that tells me that your ego is way way above the level it should be. Its absolutely ridicilous.

Delusional guys like you are in denial and are simply unable to learn by taking advice or use inputs by others to change how you go at things: you simply need to make all the mistakes first hand and feel the pain on your own body how it is to hit the wall. Then you can possibly learn. Some guys like you even refuse to learn after hitting the wall numerous times, thats how badly they are in denial.

Congratulations on the big winning session. What are you going to do with the $1157 profit? Maybe buy a new phone or go out to some fancy restaurants? Or book another vacation?

No, it’s not.

P,

I know 6 well. When playing 10/25 or 25/50, he’s the guy you hope runs like god for a while at 5/10 so he can come spew off his whole bankroll in a session or two and then get to tell his friends how sick it was that he ran so unlucky in the bigger game.

Honestly the biggest mistake isn't the hand itself but it's the fact OP feels like he has to "juice it up" by incinerating $10 UTG. I mean it makes sense because he gets to gamble but it's funny how he pretends this somehow is beneficial to his game.

Do you see how that might have a toll on them?
Most deal with it because they're adults. I have more than one cousin acting in New York who worked crappy waiting jobs for years before getting anywhere in theater.

You could try lying btw. Or not giving a crap. For years I had friends more successful than me. Some still are. Who cares? Is your ego that large you can't deal with seeing other successful people from your past? I'm guessing the answer is yes.

And yeah congrats on your epic suckout section. 3-betting KQo UTG and stacking off AQ vs OMCs, bluffing flush draws, and bluff-catching on 1-liner straight boards are all strong winning moves at 1/3.

If you were playing a disciplined TAG game you would have a lot of wins in the neighborhood of +300 to +900. And few losses of more than a buyin. And very few wins in the 2k neighborhood. That's what I'd like to see from you not just LAGging it up tilting every session you don't come out up five buyins.

Sessions like this are not actually good for you as they reinforce the idiotic stuff you are doing and you don't learn anything. You could go on a 10k heater but it won't make any difference long term if you don't play fundamentally better.

I'm lucky I ran crazy bad when I started playing live. I learned to deal with tilt pretty quickly. The idea of me tilting two hours into a session...it just doesn't happen. Think the last time I tilted I got felted repeatedly with the flopped nuts. Took like 6 hours to really get to me and this was back in December. Why do you think you get tilted so easily?

Aside from being disciplined getting tilt eliminated is the most important thing you can do right now.

Shai,

The fact that it’s possible for fish to occasionally catch heaters like that is the beauty of poker.

Sure thing. That is why every rec player, part time grinder,OMC or whoever plays livepoker can fool themself and live i denial regarding their true skills basically for their whole life. The game moves too slow over too long of a timespan for most people to really keep track of who is winning longterm in the games. So every player ends up creating their own reality instead, much more convinient.

I know countless players just from my own pretty small playerpool that lose money 7 or 8 out of 10 sessions they play, and still convinces themself that they know everything, Petrucci is a nit that is unable to win in the games+++ and so on and so on. Even though they know i travel on expensive Vegas trips with 10K in my pocket that is made possible because of money they and the other losing players have lost in the games.

Its a form of magic really. Losing players can- and they will fool themself years uppon years uppon years to avoid facing reality. Their ego and level of delusional thoughts is too powerful for anything to tear it down.

Oh the irony. There's a new thread from a guy in PG&C titled "Treating Poker Like a Business - 20k Bankroll." Second reply is 6bet me wishing him GL. I wonder if he looks at that and thinks the guy is a failure because he's grinding along side his job that pays him 45k/year.

I don't fell sorry for this guy or his girlfriend, I feel sorry for his parents.

You're their biggest failure/disappointment.

Fk this guy and his cancer attitude, it's tilting the **** out of me, I'll be back in 10 pages or so when this ***** loser admits he's broke.

I would wish you good luck but all the luck in the world isn't gonna change where you're heading.

Wow, calm down dude. Do we need a mod to or a trigger warning in the the thread title?

It's not like the dude is hurting anyone. So far his biggest crime is torching a bunch of his own money and not listening to some dudes on the internet.
