It sucks because I've already got all of my ranges down on Stars based on blind level, because I've played there tens of thousands of games.

It's hard for me to adjust to the blind to stack ratios, and I have to drop from a normal amount of tables to like 6 to give myself extra time to do the math. If I could clear that $600 deposit bonus and get the $800 Supernova bonus this month I'd actually feel good about myself in relation to poker for once lol.

haha welcome down here soon, everyone plays 16s from time to time.

so the next higher stakes grinder who will eventually start to run like god when playing me.

oh and **** YOU JOKERSTARS FISHSUPPORT RIGGED ****S

If three people in the world exist who've run worse than I at DoNs - I'll write them each a personal hymn.

Can anyone make sense of this?

It's (i) impossible to get value from your big hands postflop early, and it's (ii) impossible to take down an early pot with a c-bet.

Cbet with your big hands imo.

Cliff notes:

Play 6000 DoNs and win 300 buy-ins.

Play another 2000 DoNs and win 0 buy-ins.

Currently at -30 downswing in 150 tournies.

I just lost 20K for the bubble in the last week... 6max don's

Could you expand on that, perhaps?

Not to be a dick, but it is your responsibility (assuming you like money>ego) to game select after clicking 'register' as well as before. If anything, it's more important after the fact.


The games play differently at different times, and ranges can change. To not be able to expand your understanding of people's ranges to the point of even trying other games, buy ins, or other poker rooms (or hell, when it calls for it in the games you specialize in), seems kind of ridiculous as a professional.

Not trying to rag on you, I just really can't see what poker's appeal is to you based on how you seem to be approaching the games. Really hope you pull through with it, good luck with however you choose to handle your situation.

can't really do anything when I am loosing most of the bubbles with the best hand

It seems you lose 30% of bubbles - that's high indeed. But is it unlucky? Must feel tough either way.

I would say that 20% its variance and 10% was donkey play... I multitable up to 18 tables 6max don's so I probably did some mistakes. Didn't analise carefully my bubble play with sng wizard because the race is over and I will definetly not being playing this in a while. But I will for sure see if I did more mistakes than I think I did.

sometimes I check the don's thread but unfortunatelly I don't see anybody posting 6max don HH's. When I have the time to analise my hands I will post some interesting hands.

If I go through and unreg at every level once 3 or more regs are in my games, I'll put in 800 games of volume a month. Can you live on 800 games of volume a month?

My ranges are based first on blind level/stack ratios, then adjusted based on opponent stack size, calling ranges, number of players, stack distribution, etc. I don't see the problem with starting my range decision process at the blind level, because it has to start SOMEWHERE, even though at this point it's so quick that it's almost subconscious. I don't even have to do the math anymore to figure out how many blinds I have back (or my opponents have back), or how that compares to the pot size. That's the reason I can 14-16 table. You have to automate some part of the process.

If I spent a couple weeks relearning that for Fulltilt by 3-4 tabling, I lose a massive amount of money that I need to pay my bills. It's a much easier decision to switch sites/drop table #'s when your rent and bills aren't depending on this money.

wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow
20 buyins down session on fulltilt... lololololololololololololololol
this was just more than sick.... aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh noway ftp is not rigged! lololololololololololololololol.... bubbles lasted forever and i got f***cked every f****cking time no matter what i did... lolololololololololololol shorties got a huge hand everytime they needed it.. i lost, push next hand and lloololololololololololol9lololololololol everytime run into fun hands like aces, kings, queens lolo.lololololololololo9lollolololol

hmmmm maybe its just the normal weeked rng.... ????

just took 33rd in the 3r out of 4700+ players. basically no money when all sorts of cash at the final table. makes the 3rd time in 2 weeks or so that I've gone final 4 tables of a 4k+ person stars rebuy without making a final table. So close, then so much sigh.

[x] I play where they don't respect my raises..

As a possible brag to be:
I'm about 30 breakeven sngs away from breaking Leadbellydan's 500 game average win at the $16.
I need to get my 500 game garf to get over $2585, and it currently looks like this:



If I don't get boomswitched and make it, should I just quit the $16s and move up?
I mean that diamond is just soo shiny and appealing..

One time leeeeeeeeeeeeee

wow

and i thought my 400 game BE stretch was disheartening

I busted out of the main event after having 55k at dinner. Missed two oesd / flush draws. Second hand I had A6s cbet 254 flop with one spade, turn 7s I cant hit vs his 77. Dude was SUCH a nit that he folds probably every overcard turn and was semihesitant calling flop. Must be nice.

Fastforward to not leaving as early as we planned to because two of my friends were still in the main, then we decicded to stay an extra day for sundays, then why the hell not play the venetian 5k main event. Once again I was really chillin @ dinner with slightly under 2x starting. In a riased pot whihc i potted the flop, I shove the turn and get it all in vs two players ,both with flush draws (k6hh and 57hh on a 2458 board) and lose

So our flight is booked for tomorrow @ noon, we go out to dinner late tonight and I lose a 2500 cc roulette

Its definitely time to go home

Live poker is rogged.

At the 1k event at Venetian I lost AK, AK, AK, KK back to back to back to back.
1st one UTG: raised BB200 to 600, got 2 callers and SB 3bet to 2200. I call as do limpers and have to fold to cbet from SB on 993 flop.

2nd AhKd in BB; 2 limpers when BTN isoraises to 800, I reraise to 2400 and get all 3 along. I lead 5k on Ks8h6h flop and 1st limper shoves 10k. His KsJs hits runner runner flush. That pot would've put me in a big chiplead as I had already doubled up.

3rd AK in SB; the KJ gentleman from the previous hand limps in MP, I raise to 1K, he then reraises to 4400 and I open fold AK and he tables QQ.

4th KK on BTN; old man limps in CO, I raise to 1K, old man calls, I check behind on AT5 flop. Turn Q and he overshoves allin for 10K.

SNGs ftw imo.

This tilts the hell outta me..

Will someone who has Sharkscope sub look up a big sample of the good high stake regs and tell me I'm just imagining that 75% of them are breakeven or worse in their last 5K-10K games? Azntracker is immune by the looks of his graph, but every time I look up anyone else they seem to have hit the wall.
