I live in Delaware and have the luxury of worry free regulated poker. Easy deposits and easy withdrawals.

I’m on Delaware Park on my end but part of the shared player pool of WSOP Nevada and 888NJ. My player name is Lagtard.

My previous BR I deposited $100 and was up to $4,000+ after 4 1sts in MTTs and had to withdrawal for bills and lost a lot at the cash tables.

I finally admitted to myself I am not a good cash player but am pretty strong on MTTs. I hate admitting that and it feels like defeat but it’s reality.

So tonight I deposited $100 again and am in The Big Buck $500 Guarantee $1 buy in.

Currently sitting in 19th place 114/130 looking to build my BR to play in higher stakes MTTs.

Off the table goals:

I love studying. Big on Jonathon Little and Doug Polk. I play as they suggest. Don’t play to cash play to win. Study will be a minimum of 1 hour a day using books and JLs training videos and quizzes.

Once a week spend an hour on either Equilab, SnapShove, or other Range software.

Continue my Keto way of eating.

Start posting hands for analysis and building a network of poker players to discuss strategy with.

Thanks for reading my book of a post.

Little MTT Porn from my run of 1sts. Couldn’t find the 4th one.

Cool thanks. They are actually all one site as far as player pool. It’s the interstate compact. Hoping PA joins and Michigan join as well. Be nice to have a pool of players that big.

Games are somewhat soft at the micro levels as far as cash goes. Turbo SnGs are a **** show. Tons of action on early blind levels. You can literally play your best 10-15% hands and get action to build up a little stack and then fold to the money.


As for the tourney Got down to 16 BBs last night and jammed 88 from CO and got called by A6 on the BB and flop came 66x turn x River A. Lol I was the effective stack so that was that.

Played a couple turbo $1 SnGs and evened up my BR back to $100 so a break even night.

So its Delaware, New Jersey, and Nevada all on the same player pool for all the sites? I thought there was some state-specific sites like PokerStars NJ?

If PA and MI get in, that will be a huge addition. Both are large states.

Do you have to reside in-state to play on these sites? I think WSOP has an online event every summer so I assume as long as you're in Nevada, you can play. But for example if one was visiting NJ or DE, would they be able to play online anywhere?

You can reside anywhere but when you are playing you have to be in the state borders. They use Geolocation to see if you are.

PokerStars does have a NJ specific poker room and they aren’t part of the pool. In NJ it’s 888 poker.

I’m in Delaware. On my end I see Delaware Park poker. If I went to NJ I’d have to have an account on 888nj. As far as I know 2 accounts aren’t against the rules as long as someone doesn’t log in to one and I’m on my other one playing.

Played 2 tourneys today. Bubbled the $1 rebuy but cashed the $1000 guarantee $5 rebuy 14th place. Was profitable because I didn’t rebuy except the ads on.

I got some leaks I am seeing in my game. I’m overvaluing small pairs pre-bubble of the tourney and not folding/3 betting the enough. I was trying to set mine after the flop and missed everyone. Hurt my stack size and may of been ahead on some hands and folded thinking I was beat.

Lost most of my BR playing Omaha even though I said I was gonna stick to tourneys. Was down to $4 from $100. Took a shot at “The Big Buck” tonight. $1 rebuy with $500 guaranteed. This was the result.

Starting BR $100
Current BR $172.13
