above post has to be the most shallow post in the history of shallow posts

getting high when you are filthy rich and having no responsibilities is heaven on earth.... really dude?

Rick, ignore all posts like that please. Don't even reply.

Another cool thing I would get in my van (when I get one) is a record player. For sure. I know you can find a bunch of music that you like on record. That is a perfect thing to have. especially if you travel up North. Another idea is if you get a nice matriss/mat type thing, you can maybe build something with wood to save space, so you can store stuff under your sleeping area. We have to pimp your ride. For sure.

yea im serious. sorry lol. life aint a disney movie - its not perfect

all i was saying was he can smoke weed and do cocain in a crappy little van parked on the side of the road, which feels like crap - or he can smoke weed and snort coke in a big nice house with hot chicks all around him, which will feel amazing =)

and im pretty sure this sessame street character is just using OP as his pet project

Somehow I won exactly as much as I lost two days ago. I was thinking that I had never won that much in a day from cash games and losing that much sucked and then bingo we did it today.

I was sitting next to the dude with pink flower hat. He could be the dude from Big Lebowski. Middle age white guy with some long grey hairs always weaing the pink flower cap. Really chill. We were talking about the 2nd amendment and he asked if I thought individuals should be allowed to own nukes. And I said what if I had a whole city coming after me? Later on he pointed out one of the posse of 4 British guys having a conference off to the side and said that one is like the pimp and that is his stable of hoes. Cracked me up. So many damn Brits at the Commerce. Most are cool. But overall they are bad action and bad for the game. Too serious.

Hey Buddy, Here's Some Rope...

Hero BB (covers)KK
Villain UTG ($3k) AJos - playing too aggro today.

Villain opens to 35 utg BTN calls and we pop it up to 135, only villain calls.

Flop ($310) Q85dd

We check and villain makes a kinda funny face like "Really check?" and then checks back.

Turn ($310) 7x

We check and villain bets 210, we call.

River ($720) 4x

We check and villain bets 565. Think about it for a minute. Ask him if he has a 6. Get the live read and make the call. Kings win.

Happiness is reality minus expectations.

My ultimate goal in life is to have a family and a house. The van life is just temporary, don't worry =D. And I agree I should make more of an effort to go to different places and meet new people.

Also I've never done coke but I probably should have that one time.

Yeah that just a sad existence imo.

Yeah I'm not too into records but I like the idea. I want it to have a nice aesthetic back here so it doesn't feel like your in the back of a van but instead it just feels like a room.

What do you do when you're in your car/van, safely ensconced, but need to defecate as a matter of urgency?

**** in the parking lot obviously. Did you think he was gonna **** in his van?

I crap in the mornings. Pretty much every morning I wake up is a matter of urgency.

One time I woke up real early like 530 and there weren't any bathrooms open near where I slept so I went on a hike and crapped behind a bush.

I still remember that poo. Crapping outside is a pretty great feeling.

My grandma told me a story a while back. She grew up in a house with dirt floors in Arkansas and was born in 1936 during the Great Depression so she was literally dirt poor. And her family kept a loaded shotgun right by the front door since they lived miles away from neighbors and didn't have a phone. One night her dad lost the family cow in a poker game and when the man came to collect her mother brought out the shotgun and said that it wasn't his cow to lose. So I got degeneracy in my blood.

Catch me at the Bike tongiht! Gonna put my name on the board for the 5/10 LATB game tonight and play 5/5 if I have to.

Good luck getting in that LATB game, pretty tough given the politics from what I hear. Hopefully the 5/5 is better than it was yesterday (only 2 tables, mostly reg-infested).

Put my initials on the board for the LATB game. Ryan came over and asked another player "Are you RB, Rich?" I told him I'm RB and he introduced himself to me and told me he would put me on the list. Played with him a bit at 5/5 and I straddled first chance I got. I think I made a fairly good impression. Just need to keep going in and I imagine eventually he'll give me a spot in the game somewhere. Or not, whatever.

Flopping Quads Vs Ryan Feldman

4 handed 5/10/20/50 blind raise

We are straddling and we've all agreed to a round of $50 blind raises.

Hero SB (~$1400) 77
Ryan Feldman BTN and blind 50 (covers) ??

Hero raises to 150 and only Ryan calls.

Flop ($330) 772hhx

Hero checks Ryan checks.

Turn ($330) Kh

Hero checks Ryan checks.

River ($330) Jd

Hero checks and Ryan bets 150 we check raise to 535 and Ryan folds instantly. We show the quads.

Big Bluff

Hero UTG (~$1500) KdQc
Villain BB (covers) ??

Hero raises to 60 villain 3bets to 200 and we call.

Flop ($420) AdJd3x

Villain bets 180. Hmmm. Backdoor diamonds front door tens. All-in. Villain folds and we show the all-in bluff, Ryan notices.

16 Combos of Q2

Hero ($1785) KK
Ryan Feldman (covers) ??

Hero raises to 60, Btn calls, Ryan raises to 260. Think about it for a minute and it feels right, "All-in". Btn folds. Ryan is thinking about it and I'm just mentally projecting Q2. Sixteen combos of queen deuce, how many value combos? I slowplayed the quads and bluffjammed the gutshot. Do the math Ryan, I've got Q2. He calls. We show KK board runs out 33458 and kings hold. Weeeee!!!!

Yeah I ended up leaving eventually because I didn't want to play 5/10/20 short handed and the game wasn't good. I'll be back at the Bike again eventually, maybe next week.

I'm glad Ryan seems to like you. Hope you get in.

Yeah it's completely up to Ryan who plays. He controls the list. So my plan is to go there once a week or so and then maybe after the next 5 times playing with him I'll ask if I can be put on a 5/10 game in a month or two or whatever. Super casual. If he says no or whatever I won't bother him about it for a while. If I've learned anything it's that being too eager about anything is extremely repulsive. I just gotta play it cool and I figure eventually Ryan will find me a spot. I'll do my best.

Also Ryan was talking about the LATB subscription and what it entailed to another player and I added that I liked the strategy videos (which are only available to members). So I let him know I'm a paid subscriber without falling out of my chair to do so. And complimented his product.

Give It To Papa

Hero MP ($1690) AJos
Papa Martik (covers) AQos

Two limpers and we raise to 55. 4 people call.

Flop ($275)AKJddc

We bet 150 and two callers.

Turn ($725) 3c

Think about it for a minute. What's my two favorite words? "All in" for $1485. Papa Martik hems and haws and eventually calls, the other player folds.

I show my hand he says he has AQ and he needs a queen or a ten. I think "or a king" but don't say it.

River ($3700) T

Uf. Down 2500 already. Lost a preflop all in with QQ<A6s. Gonna eat a bunch of ice cream then back at it. Met tgiggity and gonna smoke a prerolled with him later.

I read your thread on and off so am not up to speed on all developments. To save me reading every single post can I ask how you are now playing $5/$10. Did something big happen to increase your roll to ~$50K, or has it been a natural progression through the stakes.

The last time I looked at all thread posts your roll was ~$12K and there was a debate about whether you should have sold some equity in the $10K MTT you won a seat to.

Gl in all your endeavours. I admire your commitment to it all.

You should ask Ryan to check out this thread. A 50 page PGC thread with 100K+ views is not nothing. At least it lets him know you're not just some unknown random reg and that chucking you in the game will generate at least a few new viewers for the stream.

If he reads this thread you are for sure in that game

^^

Dudes markets to make ratings. This is solid evidence to tap into a market he might not have hit before.

King Krab was on live on the bike Halloween special. Maybe it is your turn for this holoween show.

Only won a little bit back.

Flopping Quad Sevens Part Deux

Hero BTN ($1195) 77
Villain BB (covers) 55

Another player opens to 35 hero calls and villain calls.

Flop ($105) 774cc

Everyone checks.

Turn ($105) 5

Villain bets 35 the other guy folds and we raise to 105 and villain calls.

River ($315) J

Villain checks and we bet 255 villain check raises to 700 total. Music. We take 30secs then go all-in for 1055. He thinks about it then disgustingly calls.

I won ~16k playing online blackjack cashing a casino bonus a couple of months ago. I'm bad at poker and not properly rolled for 5/10. Been doing ok though.

Thank you.

Yeah I may mention this thread at some point to Ryan. Again, I don't want to come off too eager. And I don't want to come off like I feel entitled to play on the show. Because I'm not. He decides who gets to play so I just gotta be cool about it.

If you guys really wanna see me on the show feel free to tweet Ryan this thread and ask him. It would make it a lot more likely for me to get on the show if other people were asking for me. It's not gonna change the plan and I'm sure I'm gonna have to go in there a bunch first and then ask if I can play down the road some time. But if he knew other people would watch that might give him some added incentive. Thanks.

Hey Pickle Rick,

Do you play online too? i just got back to the online scene and its so laughably dead- i dont even think the people left realize how bad it is lol

I mostly play tournaments (SNG) at this point but i was wondering if you play the cash games on some of the bigger sites left (and by big i mean not as dead as the rest)- and if u do play them, how is it working out for you

Yeah every once in a while I play on Bovada. When I'm up at my grandma's watching her cats while she's away, otherwise I live in my van so I can't really play online. Cash games are good and I won a tournament a couple weeks ago on Bovada.$109 buyin $2900 for 1st. I'm gonna play the tournament today at Commerce, $1100 buy in. Eff it, I know it's dumb and I'm definitely not rolled for 1k tourneys but you only live once. YOLO!

Fired two bullets in the $1100 yesterday. I feel really good about the way I played, I was accumulating chips and being very aggressive in the opening stages. Took a bad beat with aces early on and then bluffed off all my chips with overs and NFD vs a flopped flush. Then in the second bullet I lost a big flip with JJ<AK. Took a nap and came back played some cash games. Hung out with tgiggity for a bit and played in the same game as him. Had a chat and smoked a joint with him outside. Good times.

Getting Cucumbered

Raj: "I got cucumbered today"
"Do you know what it means to get cucumbered?"
"It means I got ****ed!"

Hero UTG (covers) AA
Villain BB (~$1500) A2ss - nit reg mid aged asian.

Hero opens to 35 utg and only bb villain calls.

Flop ($70) J52r

Villain checks and hero bets 35 villain calls.

Turn ($140) 2

Villain checks and hero bets 60. Villain literally goes into the tank for 3 minutes before check raising to 200. I should just ditch my hand right here. But instead I call.

River ($540) 6

Villain bets 350 and I stupidly pay him off. Bad call, this guy is never bluffing me I'm just stupid. Oh well.

I need to start making better decisions all around. Away from the table and at the table. I think good decision making will flow from other aspects of my life into my poker game. Don't take bong rips before you're about to go to sleep and pass out. Don't eat haagen daaz ice cream AND 3 bags of doritos in one sitting, etc.

Don't fire two $1k bullets that are each 10% of your net worth.

Not quite, but yeah add it to the list of dumb decisions. Forget what my networth is, playing tourneys is just plain stupid.

It's not stupid and fine to take a shot once in awhile, you've been on a good run lately so don't beat yourself up over it. You should be firing some in the $300-$600 range with good structures/prizepools as i suggested awhile back as long as your roll can take it, when you do get there it'll be a huge boost to your roll
