So yesterday I grinded for about 6hrs total and also went to the gym. I pretty much broke even for the day because similar to the day before, it felt like the doomswitch started to come on towards the end. I was getting tired, getting horrible runout after horrible runout, and maybe it's slightly irrational to say this but I felt as if variance was just going to destroy me if I kept playing for another hour, so I cut my session a little bit short.

I rate yesterday's session a B though because I don't feel i played too badly overall, even if I did make a few small mistakes here and there.

Anyway, today's a fresh day and since I don't need to go to the gym today (because I went yesterday), I'm going to aim for an 8 hour session. Bankroll is only $650 unfortunately so I'm probably going to have to play mostly 40nl with maybe 1 table of 60nl. But we'll see what we can do with the cards we're dealt...

Doesn't matter what cards you'll be dealt if you don't have a BR management. How is it possible to learn nothing in 2 years? I don't want to bring you down but it's possible to go broke in an 8 hour session

It's possible to get cancer too. It's possible to die in a car crash. We can't live our lives in fear of the possibility that bad things might happen.

Besides, if my bankroll gets down to $200, then I'll play 20nl. So that's really closer to a 20 buyin bankroll: 10 buyins at 40nl/60nl (mixed), then 10 buyins at 20nl. That seems pretty reasonable to me, given how soft the fields are.

No dude, you don't have 20 buyins, you have 10 for 60NL. If you drop 7 buyins (which can happen in 1 hour playing online tbh) you will have 10 buyins left for 20NL. Why not use proper BR management and play NL20 now?

And the posibility of getting cancer or having a car crash is literally 0 for today, but in comparison the chances of getting broke today are sky high

Tough spot against donkey

A bit of context: I've seen villain make some loose calls preflop and some weird nonsensical bluffs postflop in the past, so I've tagged him as a donkey. An important consideration to keep in mind though is that all of his previous bluffs were for much smaller amounts of money (40bbs or less).

60nl, $80 effective
Villain (UTG) limps $0.60
MP raises to $2.40
Hero (BB) 3bets $9.60 with TT
Villain (UTG) calls $9.60
MP calls $9.60

Flop ($29.10, 3ways) is 842r

Hero bets $8.40
Villain calls $8.40
MP folds

Turn ($45.90, HU) is 8428r

Hero checks
Villain bets $10.50
Hero calls $10.50

River ($66.90, HU) is 8428A

Hero checks
Villain jams $51.63

How is possible you are even more clueless than 1 year ago? The most basic basic aspect of a serious poker player is BR management and you still can't even sort that out. Even in the softest games its possible to dump 10 stacks in no time especially if your a whale.

YES! I recently discovered that youtube channel too and I love it! In fact, that's actually the channel that inspired me to make this play with the QQ, since I witnessed OtB_RedBaron do a very similar thing and it was analysed by FindingEquilibrium:

not using BRM because you could get cancer.

good to see you back, I have a fear it won't last long though

not using BRM is cancer. There you have it

a 4b pot on T53r is kinda different from a 3b pot on T77r though. Also different positions and ranges preflop.
But would be interesting to see yourself in PIO/SPF the differences I guess.

Anyways, looking forward to lurking gl

Freaking legendary degenshit is what this is You just cant make this up, its unreal. Poker pro living with your wife at your moms house grinding on your phone with a $900 life roll? Rofl

isn't he down to $650 now?

still clinging to 60nl though...

he'd have well over 1k if he didn't buy Pio and Microsoft freakin Word.

Excellent point. Its almost the same thing choosing not giving shyt about bankrollmanagment in poker, and the risk of dying in a car crash.

6bet totally get it's your life and you don't have to take anyone's advice, but don't you think it's time to listen to a bit of the advice ppl have given you in this thread and the past thread based on your current situation? Curious to hear your thoughts on already ignoring people on BR management advice/current financial position. Anyway in for the story and gl to you.

No reason listening to advice, i mean- what do other people know?

What i am wondering is this: how is it even possible that a married grown up man makes the choice of "going pro" while his current living situation is living at home with his mom and having a net worth of $900?

Its just mind boogling, i cant wrap my head around such absurd decisionmaking.

Im only a few posts in but this is solid advice if you want to run up the $900 into some semblance of a roll. Split it into 3 100b BIs for live 1/3 and go man up.

For me, the playing on the phone is the best part.

6BM, great to have you back and best of luck with your goals!

A question, what’s your estimated percentage for risk of ruin? I’m sure you’ve ran the numbers so would be get to hear about how you’re modelling this.

Well he's probably broke already

Hey 6betme, something that I noticed was your cold calling that 3-bet with KJs. Cold calling 3-bets is very bad unless you hold something like QQ-TT, AQs-AJs. Cold calling 3-bets is one of the fastest ways to lose money.

Ignition poker sucks ass and constantly disconnects you, so don't play on that. Also, a HUD isn't needed, especially with your current financial situation. Just take notes on people like what you are already doing. I think your best option in terms of life would be to get a job and save up enough money to play live since the competition is easier and your odds of success will increase. I've heard from others that live poker is even softer than micro stakes online.

Have you considered doing poker in your spare time while holding a job? 40nl isn't really sustainable for a living and you are in your mom's basement. I'm sure she loves you, but she also probably wants you to blossom and become independent.

Best of luck to you sir on your journey.

Part of the sick charm of 6bet’s threads is his total refusal to listen to good advice. It’s like getting a daily update on a ship slowly crashing into an iceberg, except the captain could change course at any moment, but just doesn’t feel like doing so.

Spot on

I will be very honest, and I'm sure we all feel the same but not everybody wants to admit: at this point I think it would be boring if he would actually play smart and start wining. **** it, we need to see a trainwreck, that's the source of entertaining. Sure, it sucks to wish someone's ruin, but in this case it wouldn't be a tragedy.. just a few hundro down the drain and into the poker ecosystem.

So no, 6betme, don't follow any advice and let that ship go straight into the iceberg. You need to learn life somehow

The most viewed/popular threads in PGC are the ones that are a trainwreck where the OP refuses to listen to single piece of advice.

I think 6betme, paisting and BS are on to a formula for success.

You guys forget the welfare system is funding his living costs so can always reload.

GL OP **** the haters.
