"sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me"

never want to meet the trolls, even when I become a poker pro

Update: Not playing video poker anymore. Why? Because the variance is too much for me to stomach. You really need 10,000 buy ins to be able to survive, and i couldn't afford $100 to buy into the 1c level. So I think I will quit video poker for good and only play it if Golden Tiger Casino gives me another bonus lol.

On to the good news, my plans have changed. Since i'm no longer playing video poker, i've decided to pick up PLO cash games. I'll only have $15.18 to play with at the 1c/2c stakes, so i'll have to be careful not to go broke. I read online that you need a larger bankroll than NLHE, so I will work towards that. Also I watched how players were playing PLO at the 1c/2c stakes and have realised that they will play with any 4 cards. So i've just got to play tight aggressive to build a bankroll.

Also I will still play the Razz tournament at 5.13am on Saturdays and Sundays. The goal is to make a $55 profit a week, to buy me into the $55 Daily Marathon NLHE tournament. So I will play the NLHE tournament on Sundays at 1.30am and only play the Razz at 5.13am on Sundays if i'm busto by then. Also I will only play PLO cash games starting at 10am on Sundays if i'm busto in the NLHE by then too.

Here is my updated twitch schedule:

Don't worry, you won't.

good we agree on something. i wont meet the trolls, so i don't have to worry about that

i bet 1/2 you guys are not even profitable at poker either. i dare you to give me your stats!

#LetsDoThis

i wouldn't set out to win the marathon. i would set out to raise that 234 on third street in the morning razz tournament.

Your wins are based on how you played not on how you go in a tournament.

ps: my razz advice might be wrong since i don't play razz. If i was to play razz i would bet/raise 234 but with further study i might do something else with it.

yes small wins amount to playing solid poker and as long as you play well, you give yourself every opportunity to win the tournament

#LetsDoThis

the small win isn't about if you win the hand or not. the small win is you got it in with AA pre-flop for example.

whether someone with 73o calls 100bb deep and hits two 7s and knocks you out that is irrelevant. whether you win the hand and double up is irrelevant as well.

you have won and your a champ since you made the correct play and and can use that confidence in your next hand you play.

Love your thinking. You are welcome to rail me when I make it to my first WSOP.

#LetsDoThis

You responded to the same guy by the way. Just quoting it because you probably don't even realize.

edit; also to the same guy;

Haters gonna hate, Richard!

Don't let the trolls distract you from your goals!

You're one top 3 finish in the Razz away from blowing up!

#LetsDoThis

No one is gonna distract me from my goals, that is for sure

Richard, you finished last in the 7.5 Razz tournament, what happened?

he went all in.

The Razz tournament was a mistake. Was throwing my chips around.

By the way guys, I'm postponing my poker goals for 2-3 months. I need to get a full time job THEN I will re-focus my goals towards getting 1st in the $55 Sunday Marathon by the end of 2019. So this thread will go dormant for 2-3 months, then it will pick up again. No more threads will be created like I did in the past. Don't want to piss the mods off!

Talk soon

Why not just print $1M at video poker?

I'm still not playing poker guys, but I couldn't resist trying to buy into the $11 Sunday Storm for FREE. And that's what I just did. Won a satellite in there. Play starts in just under 6 hours from now at 6am NZT.

Live coverage will be on my twitch channel. www.twitch.tv/richierichnz

is your goal to finish first in the sunday storm?

then you can play every marathon each day until you win it.

i think you need lots of goals in all areas. some people on here have goals of banging as many hookers rawdog as possible. would you write about your other goals?

what happened rich? you didn't even play and just sat out.
