-6 BI session. When should I quit, when the coolers hit -10 BIs?

sometimes its the nuts

Quit now, your on tilt and -EV to keep playing. Hit the gym, go to bed, go for a walk or rub one out - anything just dont keep playing.

Thanks, I really appreciate having people around who can talk some sense into me. I just started having one of "those" nights and freaked out that one session was giving me flashbacks of the past two months. Probably need to implement a stop-loss, eh?

That is so sick, WP sir!

Does this work?

I hope for you it does

Hey guys, made a video 6 tabling 50nl on FTP, would love it if you guys could check it:

it's so amazing,
I don't know if it's the working out @ the gym or because I have a lot to deal with lately,
but I slept almost 10/11 hours!!

Blegh, don't like it


another question:
Is it me, or does nobody like to give advice about hands anymore?
Sometimes I see a hand being posted with 100 viewers and 1 or 2 comments, and not even from the "regular" 2p2ers but complete "unknowns"

I am guilty of this too btw!

Yeah I feel a stop loss is essential even if you play way overrolled. The thing is that playing on tilt is akin to getting drunk i.e. you get that same thought process "you know what would be a really good idea...." even when you know when you are thinking straight that it would never ever be a good idea.

I do like to give advice, but most of the time I have nothing to add. The good answers have already been given out and there is rarely even room for discussion.

The other times the hands just fall into that general WTF category that I don't know where to start.

After all I happen to be a believer in quality > quantity. There is very, very little value going for an AOL-type "me too"/"+1"/... garbage. The exceptions are when there is actually discussion about alternative options but even then I still make posts that I would like to receive myself. Namely, I try to lay out the reasoning for any argumentation.

Even when I'm wrong, having the why pointed out helps a lot.

+1

6 BI is my stop loss.

"Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut."
- Ernest Hemingway

My thoughts exactly, I find there is no reason commenting if what I thought already has been said. And all the KK, AA preflop mostly fall into the WTF category.

I admit that when I'm not short on time I'm also somewhat lazy and stuff but I agree strongly with the above.

And then there's these situations that are so specific and rare that it almost doesn't matter at all what you do ("can I fold quads to his likely higher quads") or situations that are very close to neutral EV and/or very villain dependant, but the required information about villain didn't get posted. Basically situations where you can go both ways without knowing more and where you can't be far off both ways.

Edit: "Play a hand with me" threads ftw.

Those are the best ones IMO.

Looks good, there's no better strategy in the long run though. Simpler way of looking at it:

EV of 1 spin is $2.
EV of 2 spins is 0.1 x $4 + 0.2 x $3 (win $3 or $4) + 0.7 x $2 (take another spin if not) = $2.4
EV of 3 spins is 0.1 x $4 + 0.2 x $3 (win $3 or $4) + 0.7 x $2.4 (take another 2 spins if not) = $2.68 hence free monies!!!

I am back in AC and now I got a sweet new laptop, oh yea and I took a ton of money and put it in my savings account so I am now broke...now I might actually have to work hard at work or just deal the bad beat jackpot imo.

LOL when you put it like that, it makes a lot of sense.

Man, I often sleep in for like 10+ hours... but I am pro so...

yeah it does look like there has been less replys to strat posts.

Where is the games BTW?

This guy wins at life (not at poker either btw)

I really want to watch this, especially since you and I have shared quite few tables.

I just watched Split's equity video last night, have Cardrunners, (and I assume Stox), this month. How in the world do people keep up?

Granted, I work and have a family, but sheez, this could easily take full time for a recreational player.

GL on your 100NL move. I've been dabbling there and may see you around a bit.

TY.

I wouldn't mind a thread of these. I think a little conditional probability practice can't be a bad thing.

My sex life disagrees wholeheartedly with that stance.

Can I have a +10 buy in session one time today plzzzzzzzzzzz

I'm in the same boat as you. Now is even worse cause I'm not playing at all due to work and won't again until after 4/15. The 2+2 mantra of move up, move up, move up doesn't help either. I mean come on, if you can't go from NL5 to NL100 in six months you're not doing something right, imo.

The way I think about it is that there several things in my life that are more important than poker. Family being first and foremost. I really try to make sure everything is good with those other things before I allot time to play, reveiw, watch vids, or post in chat threads. I know if I didn't poker could really take over. Also remember the game's supposed to be fun, right? The only person you need to impress or answer to is yourself.
