Damn. Live in So Cal and thought about doing exactly this a couple years back. Respect for pulling the trigger. Gl

called my bank today and the lady on the phone says, "what card restriction? your card isn't blocked" I ask her to transfer me to a senior security consultant so I can confirm, and after waiting on hold the call dropped for the third time today. i'm gunna put my head thru a ****ing wall. down to my last $20 lmao, hopefully can convince my bank to let me have my money because after today I won't have enough for gas to get back to the states. guess worst case scenario I just go to a btc atm in tijuana

finally got through to my bank. guess what they told me? "your card isn't blocked sir. it never was."






























are you ****ing joking? Then why did my atm withdrawal get declined, and why did your security team insist they couldn't unblock my card?

"well, it looks the atm transaction was reversed, not declined. That means it's likely the ATM just didn't have enough cash on hand to complete the transaction."

ffs, really? The atm just gave me the standard "transaction decline, call the security department" screen. and the security department that night was apparently too dumb to figure out that my card wasn't even blocked in the first place, all I had to do was go to a different atm. god damn it man what a waste of a night. all I had to do was try a different atm and I would've had my cash and been playing some 5/10

To be fair, they weren't wrong that they couldn't unblock the card

lmao. Honestly been running too pure lately at teh poker, so the life runbad is just for balance

I assume now every time you phone up about your card being blocked your play is to say "is my card blocked?".

can't remember exactly what I said, but I remember I said something along the lines of,

I just tried to use an atm and the withdrawal was declined. I called earlier to authorize this withdrawal, so can you please take a look at what's going on.

and they said something like: ok, give me a minute blah blah. looks like you just attempted a withdrawal at blah blah place for x amount, is that correct. ok, it was flagged as a suspicious transaction, let me go ahead and remove the block now. *2 minutes go by* actually, it looks like the hold has been placed by a senior security advisor, you'll need to speak with one of them.

so I say ok, lets do it.

actually, their hours are different than ours. you'll need to call back in the morning


so yeah, idk why I got told all of that if the issue was just the atm. either the person I spoke to today was wrong, or they were wrong that night. And the lady today was actually very helpful, knew her ****, and she called me back immediately when we got disconnected (which none of the other reps ever do)

wish i was gay so i could cheer u up ffs

dude just keep some cash on hand if youre going to grind live semi regularly lol

is rosarita too sketch for that?

haha thanks, even you saying that cheered me up a bit

meh, I'd rather not have 3-4k sitting around my condo but I doubt it's a huge risk with all the private security here.



back in the streets today, looking to put in 12 hours of iggy volume or at least 2500 hands. if you see me out there, just know I don't really fold

just took a look at my rake paid for the first time in a while. I'm paying 6bb/100 at 200nl, and 4bb/100 at 500nl, I really need to move up to 500 full time. My total rake paid is within 2k of my total winnings

Gotta get up to 1k imo. Paying a bit more than 2.5 bb/100 there. Pretty crazy that at 5x the stake it's only like double the $/hand in rake

shouldn't you want him to fail so he stays out of your games?

that's the eventual goal. idk if I can handle those 15k swings though. not just my br, but mentally


he's played live with me before. he knows I'm a #nostudy fish. dropped like 8k into his games the last few months lol

the way this hand played out, after he called the river I was sure he must have 44

currently have a -3bb/100 loss rate in the small blind at 200nl that I'm pretty proud of (though tbf it's still a small sample)

What kind of sample are we talking about, and have you checked it after adjusting it to 3+ players? Lots of table starting can really skew that number

weird, when I filter for 3+ players my loss rate is only -1.95bb/100 at 200nl. sample is only 10k hands though. at all stakes I have 22k hands in the sb and I'm -11.77bb/100. Gotta work on my bb though: -41.64bb/100

Ah, yeah. Just a major sample size issue then. Must be very few hands HU for example to have a negative winrate in sb/btn there

yeah just 1k hands heads up and I'm doing better in the bb so far. major sample issues. I play a lot of FR because my winrate is 9bb/100 there, so I play very little headsup/short

had the itch to play live still so I drove up to LA last night to play some 5/10. At the border when I was the next car up the guy initially waved me up, then he made eye contact, put up his hand for me to stop, got on his phone and another border guard came over. Then they waved me up and the first thing the other guard says is, "follow me you're going to secondary". ffs. this time they were nice enough not to arrest me. Although I was still treated different than everyone else in secondary. They told me to stand next to a table while they searched, which is what they tell everyone to do. So as I'm standing there watching one of the guards tells me I have to turn around and not watch them search, and I have to keep my hands flat on the table the entire time. 2 feet away a couple was sitting on their table making out while their car was searched, yet I'm getting nazi'd around like a ****ing puppet.

after 30 min of standing in the same spot, hands flat on a ****ing table they tell me I'm good to go. As I'm getting into my car to leave the guard who arrested me on monday walks up to me and says, "hey don't I know you from somewhere?"

"yeah, you arrested me on monday"
"oh, what for?"
"Good question, I tried asking you a dozen different times. You ended up letting me go without telling me"
"I don't remember that. Are you sure I don't know you from somewhere else?"

jfc I wanted to sucker punch that idiot



anyyyyyyway, I had a few interesting hands to write up but tbh I just don't feel like it. I'll just write up my last hand of the night/biggest pot of my poker career


So I've been playing 8 hours of 5/10 at this point, fairly card dead and down most of the night. However, I had just won a couple big pots and had ~3100 in front of me, though I was already in the game for 3800.

UTG opens to 35, CO calls, I look down at AA on the button and make it 145. UTG repops it to 480 (he has me covered). CO tanks (wtf?) and folds. I call (never 5betting anything here) Pot: ~1000

Flop JT9r. UTG checks, I bet 450, UTG quickly calls. Pot: 1900
Turn 9x. UTG checks, I shove 2150. UTG tanks for a few minutes. while he's in the tank I'm already celebrating in my head, and I remind myself halfway through his tank that even though I'm always good he's always live, and when he calls I better be prepared to lose this pot. He eventually makes the call, and before I even notice he called the dealer binks him off his K for the full house and he scoops a $6200 pot. just like that my networth swung 20%. even though I was mentally prepared to lose the pot, this one is gunna sting for a couple days. I really wish they allowed running it twice

You play mostly at Commerce when in LA right? I would recommend opening a players bank and keeping cash on deposit there.

Won’t have to worry about your card being blocked or carrying cash.
