time to play part 2 of my 300k hand biggest mistake video since I'm gonna crash now

+$600 in 9 hours today.

Down something like $400 for the month EV adjusted.

4.5bb over the last 160k hands at 100NL. Happy about the results in so much as they are my results and I should be happy with what I have because dwelling on shoulda coulda woulda is kind of pointless - developing rigorous methodologies for the future is where you should consume your brain power.

And I will be the first to admit I was being very arrogant during that time I was 12 tabling and 10 tabling. That most certainly cost me some sweet sweet beautiful sexy winrate pixels. And also making quite a number of mistakes that could be avoided if I just follow my daily routine and study a couple hours every day before 1st session. (Im talking about over the entire course of those 160k hands.)

Maybe some people can just wake up and grind and crush but I need quite a bit of foreplay first before I jump into a session.

Part of being successful is understanding how to overcome obstacles and hurdles that other people in your industry do not have - and staying efficient enough to compete with them. Because they have obstacles and hurdles of their own as well. But even if they don't, personal limitations should not be seen as a ceiling or a failing, but a challenge to overcome.

So in reality, boiling it all down, a person is only as good as his personal ability to control his inner demons.

pn, i told you earlier, i've never played nl2

i didn't want to mention this earlier because it's neither a big deal nor does it matter in regards to quality or inferiority of my advice to you, but when i played for a living (not just goofing off online for the lols) it was at stakes where the min buyin is greater than your entire net worth

i am a luckbox though, which is probably why I was able to sniff out QQ beats AA on that specific board because the secret to my success was winning pots after getting it in bad - don't think nl2 has that luckbox factor - which is why i avoid it cause i'll be dead money there

I have a weird feeling rickroll proves the multiverse theory. There is a doppelganger of some dude named "rolled rick" who is such a GOAT at poker making millions and "rick roll" is the doppelganger that just rolls the dice and tries to luck box ****.

At least it all makes perfect sense to me.

You do know Xenoblade plays high stakes for a living right?

I'm starting to get the sense that you don't like taking the advice of others, but frankly it's pretty foolish to not listen to him of all people

So, so delusional. You live in poverty so not much you can bet with, or I'd love to take AVO at 10:1.

The way you LARP as some PhD scientist of game theory when you can't beat the micros is hilarious.

t. a guy who has never been successful at anything in his life

You haven't posted many extremely embarrassing text convos with Thai women lately. Can you please post more of your quad-texts to mediocre hookers as it is now clear you will never be able to succeed at poker? At least give the majority of your readers seeking schadenfreude some entertainment.

lol how would I know this? When I stalked his username I didn't see any threads so I assumed he's just a lurker.

I thought it was pretty common knowledge around here

He's a better and more successful player than anyone posting in this thread by far, so if you're going to listen to what anyone says, it should be him

i never gave any advice, i simply found it funny you said you were scared of a bunch of hands that you would have beaten with that board

dude, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, stop looking for hidden meanings and such, you straight up said you were scared of jamming because of certain hands... hands that your hand beat

even if it's just a typo, it's pretty representative of the tunnel vision you get in your hand review, you seem so focused on what beats your hand that you ignore your own relative strength

but in general, if you can't decide if he has 32s or AA, but only when there are two 2s on the board then you probably shouldn't be playing

RIP rickjones doesn't play poker anymore bc he can't read. If you can't read your hole cards you might end up bet-calling 7 hi like one donkey once did in a live game 400bb pot at 2/5.

I really feel like I've been pretty clear on this point of contention lol

I love advice. I find it funny that anyone would claim I don't.

Well reasoned, well intentioned advice using even a modicum of sound argument or rudimentary poker theory to back up their statements, will be well received.

I mean hey I haven't blocked Xenoblade yet, probably because he's not a dick and the things he says generally speaking seem to be reasonable.

But the skeptic in me would require some small bit of evidence to verify he is in fact a high stakes winning player. Because anybody can claim anything and I didn't find any threads he started with his username.

Well other than the fact that you've dismissed plenty of perfectly good advice so far in this thread:

The fact that Xenoblade hasn't started any threads doesn't mean anything, but idk, the fact that he's well-known among the higher stakes poker players who have PGCs is probably proof enough

And you may not have blocked him, but you have completely dismissed him, just like you have with basically everyone else

If a man dressed as a homeless man with a craggy 'ol beard, ripped up clothes etc told me to take a complicated sounding medicine to cure a cough he noticed - but was secretly the head surgeon at Johns Hopkins, would you feel bad you didn't take his advice before you found out the truth?

FYI, I view random online screen names as homeless men with craggy 'ol beards and ripped up clothes until proven otherwise.

I'm pretty sure I basically +1'ed his last strategy post about the database analysis stuff. That was not really dismissive. He actually made a reasonable argument. Funny how that works.

Not all information/advice posted in this thread is taken seriously. If a reasonable argument is presented, I will know it when I see it.

nice strawman

it's much more like you're at a medical conference, yes there's a lot of randos there but in the crowd are also some of the more accomplish doctors in the country

if you think everyone here is a loser and sucks at poker then why do you even post here?

I'm sure puppypunting4rollz.com can be purchased at a fair price and then you'll own all your content, right now it's mason who's going to get the movie deal out of this and not you

talk about strawmans lmfao

medical conference? lol riiiiiiiiight

I ask a doctor a simple question about how to treat an ailment I am having and he replies

"lol sleep more"

Then I laugh and say "funny, ok but seriously is there anything else I can do?"

and the doctor replies "lol you're not paying me **** so I'm not gonna give you free advice"

"why do I even post here"

Do people need reasons to do what they do?

It's a good way to virtually keep in touch bc it's so lonely in thailand being too poor to go out and do anything

ahh my bad, i didn't realize this was heartwarming camaderie in your worldview

did you get any applicants for the grindhouse in either vietnam or brazil? perhaps we could review them in the thread to find a crowdsourced solution

Op, you're not going to get any strategy posts that are like yours because most posters either think it's a massive waste of time at best and following a bunch of baseless assumptions at worst.

If you don't appreciate the strategy advice already given then it would make sense to stop posting hand histories and limit overall start itt.

Thread can still be good with just life stuff and general poker posts

^lol blocked

I had a relative who ended up with bed bugs. He has a family which makes it even harder. It was a huge PITA - if you aren’t attached to your possessions (mainly clothing) as well as your current apartment, I would suggest you move ASAP, and buy new clothes. It’s such a battle to get rid of them, even when you call professionals.

Definitely not GTO to assume that anyone besides you is an idiot until they meet some kind of (presumably nonobjective) criteria that you've set forth

Honestly man, only a fool thinks that they can't learn at least something from any given person

I personally gave you some pretty sound advice wrt to bedbugs, but all you seemed to do was make a dismissive joke about it (when you didn't just ignore it completely)

If you don't take any other advice in this thread, take this OP, this is honestly the GTO bedbug strat right here

"Feel bad for me, I moved to Thailand and can only gain human attention by being as infuriatingly ******ed online as possible "

Who's choice was this alpha male red pill man? I know some things are beyond your control (i.e. your phone double texting for you due to a glitch and month after month of vending machine death variance), but please realize that you are responsible for the vast majority of your failures up to this point.

Thread needs stories / pics of bitches and degen stories. Fukk strat we not 2010 anymore.

time to move to Mexico imo, we need some latina stories

+1, there's a crazy amount of good stuff on YT/Twitch/strat forums for free.
