thank you GGRJ, it was not easy. but I am very happy now and never felt better. I am angry that didnt realize I was in deep hole for such a long time.. Alcohol has done a lot of damage to my life but i hope everythings will be OK now.

Rush 25 is too slow with a bunch of 17/12 robots. gotta rake 3k to qualify for my RB provider's promotion. so i just dont have enough time left on the month to make it lower than plo100.

rakeback.com by any chance? they got a WSOP promo for those who rake in 5k a month, but FTP rake doesn't count.

Are you sure the promo is REALLY worth it though? Even at Vroom, you gotto play almost 24/7.

i am with rakebacknation.com. there is a yearly promo . u have to rake 3k 10 months and at the start of the new year u ll get 1,5 k in cash. i have 10 month going so i think it's worth it. Still 1 k rake short. but dont feel like i am playing 50 bbs deep very well. proly will grind 30 hours at rush25. i know i am gonna puke but at least i have positive expecatation there , even playing tired.

sick, lol, that's actually a nice deal, especially if they include FTP even after they cut affiliate shares significantly. Gl with your megagrind!

Comments on my line, anyone?
i dont hate his line at all, shipping the turn with top2 there seems super marginal, and if you play standard reggish he doesnt have much sd value on the river

If he wanted to bluff the river he could still bet less than pot. He will get credit even when he "only" bets ~200bb on the river and Im sure that there are few (if no) hands that will call 200bb but not 300bb.

Agreed, I much prefer folding or 3bet/folding flop. You gotto decide your turn play on the flop, and flatting with 2pair should never be one of them.

On the river, it's obvious he'll never win at show-down, but I agree with hystereo that betting 200bb is effectively the same as 300bb. 100-150 is enough to fold out a set and probably a low flush as well.

Lol +1 to seaking's post. Rush poker isn't poker at all.
As for lacking motivation, playing bored poker is the worst thing. Just take a 3 day break and ull be craving the action again.

The fact that you can fold and instantly get a new card significantly impacts the way you play. Ive never seen, in any other form of poker, so many players playing 15/10. It really is difficult extracting more than one street of value from these players so from a 100 rich field, you're probably playing less than half of these opponents and hoping you end up on their table.

Ive obviously made a lot of generalisations here but the fact that folding allows you to instantly view a new hand is an hugely influential factor that I find has ultimately reduced the amount of skill and ability involved and rather replaced it with fit-or-fold poker. It may be profitable but it is so so so much less interesting imo.

He flats the flop because that's where he decides he's beat and is going to bluff you on a straight/flush card.
Or he might be a reg, know you and be trying to keep you in with dry AA.

No reads on villain as I'm a total newb at VROOOOOOOM.

Imo standard steal attempt on a dryish board with top/good. Thoughts on the EV +/- of the play from those in the know? Appreciate the input as always. I tried to rep KKxx or a strong 2p + fd, which I doubted anyone else had. It's an easy fold to resistance so I figure it was +EV if odds are <50% that someone thinks they have better than my range.

Um you're one of the regs on this forum I view as an example of a solid PLOer. Please keep it up so I can continue to learn from your input on the forums .

Decent SD value, no need to bluff the river IMO. Unlikely he'll fold a better hand anyway as ur so polarized.

We'll all miss Avee, but if anyone wants to rid himself of this terrible affliction, he has my full support!

Thoughts on shove? I figured it was a good spot to move in considering the draws and 2p, etc. Input on what to do? Maybe b/c I'm taking a shot this is just overthinking a standard spot..

Well you're flipping with bare nuts so its okay, but some villians might have nuts + redraw which would crush you.
