um, not sure how to respond to that, no doubt I've had some luck along the way, as do all of us. But I've always lost money playing poker back in the "fun" days whether its 500 hands or 50,000. Difference is this time, I am taking it seriously, reading books, reviewing my hands, getting tips for my biggest weakness (going on tilt) just curbing my tilt alone is probably my biggest thing for the swing of non profitable to profitable. It may only be 2nl, but like I said, im doing this seriously, and only moving up when I have enough buyins for the bankroll. There is a stream saved of me playing poker for a few hours, possibly best to watch that first before saying stuff like that, it's a bit disheartning to read to be honest. I mean fine to say I got lucky, but to say no skill, is a little below the belt
especially trying so hard with the amount of hours study i've put in recently. Just stuff like learning position, reading opponents using the hud, like 3 betting 89s on the button to a raise, and getting opponent to fold his open raise is not neceasrily skill but it's beyond ABC poker. Not including the many many other things I've learned to gain more chips over a session, what flops to c bet, or re-raise etc rather than just hoping to hit and playing fit or fold poker.

HA yes, It was SB vs BB, I was the BB. This guy had like a 80% vpip, and raised pretty much everything, and when he went for the steal, I saw his F3bet quite high, so I 3 bet him in the BB, and he just called. Flop was X33, he then donked all in on the flop, and of course I called
