I've run into 3 straight flushes over the last week

Ouch. My condolences.

Thanks. Fortunately 2 of them were against short stacks.

I love that feeling when I am sure I dropped 4 buy-ins, but I finish the session and see that I only lost one.

I remember there was a thread specifically for discussing small stakes 6-max cash on Pokerstars, but unfortunately that thread seems to have disappeared. So I will ask in this thread instead. Who do you think is the best UK player at 200NL zoom specifically? Is it Welshgaz?

rec'd this like half hour ago, how long til its just over for NLHE? im thinking 2025.

2023

Gonna be so fun when all the NL500 zoom regs buys that and no one wins because everyone is using rta. Only stars wins. Lol. And atleast with stars chances of getting caught are pretty high when you suddenly move from btn clicker to gto mastermind. And good luck with that to everyone giving some random program permission to access your pc.

Already the case with Pokertracker 4, it won't run without administative privileges, which makes me a bit uncomfortable (but I assume they have no choice if they want to display an HUD overlay over the poker client).

Grrrrr... I prefer not knowing how much money I leave on the table no betting enough on rivers

I really need to work on this aspect.

Hero (SB): 122.4 BB
BB: 289 BB

Hero posts SB 0.4 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has Q K

fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 3 BB, BB calls 2 BB

Flop: (6 BB, 2 players) 9 2 7
Hero checks, BB bets 1.8 BB, Hero calls 1.8 BB

Turn: (9.6 BB, 2 players) 3
Hero checks, BB bets 6.8 BB, Hero calls 6.8 BB

River: (23.2 BB, 2 players) A
Hero checks, BB bets 20 BB, Hero raises to 51 BB, BB calls 31 BB

Hero shows Q K (Flush, Ace High)
BB mucks 8 T (Flush, Ace High)

i got that same email a few days ago

about 2 years back they sent one but that time forgot to bcc the email list, could be a good starting point for detecting rta users but then again i somehow got it despite not playing in a decade and never signing up for it so there'd be way too many innocents falsely accused in the process

people have been saying NLHE is dead every year since black friday. It's obviously not good, but I'm relatively confident that stars will be able to figure out how to catch the vast majority of cheaters

phil galfond obviously has a very vested interest in hoping that online poker remains non-cheated, but I think I do buy his argument in this thread that it's an arms race between the bots and the bot-catchers, and that the bot-catchers are likely to become much better as technology increases, but probably not as much with the cheats. Tweets 3/4 are good points I feel like I don't see discussed that often. Plus, sending out that email to like 10,000 people puts a pretty massive target on zerosolver's back.

I'm curious how much people will tolerate webcam checking or something of that nature. I guess the real question is how the fish will feel about it, or rather, how they'd feel about everyone but them getting webcam'd. Who knows, maybe Mark Zuckerburg is right and everything will be VR in the future anyway

Anyone watch the show Taskmaster?

It might be the greatest show out there if you enjoy British comedy.

got into it a few weeks ago, now series 5 with the amazing bob mortimer. absolutely love it

dutchie here btw, but we watch a lot of british telly

Yeah bob was great.

I just finished series 13, and next week they are starting their 2nd Champion of Champions where they bring on 5 previous winners to do like 2 episodes.

I think we're entering a two world system where AI is going to beast us at literally everything soon. Retina and dna scans will be ubiquitous and as Galfond says it works both ways so we'll always have some kind of defence

until the implants

prioritize getting good at playing against other humans and getting an edge over the kinds of mistakes humans naturally do in all sorts of games over memorizing nlhe

not financial advice

50,441 hands, 3.28 EV/100, 5.01 BB/100 for June... all at 50 Zone

I am pretty okay with those numbers since June is supposed to be the worst month for poker. Hopefully I find the courage to play some more 200 Zone when the football season starts and the games soften up. I hope you guys had a good June and are enjoying the return of DooDooPoker!

Yeah, bots were a lot more rampant a few years ago.
We're probably gonna see a surge in bots now but I think we will sort it out, and if not, there's always more games

June Results

18,000 hands

5.84 EV bb/100
5.00 bb/100

At last ! After almost 17 000 hands, I'm now a "winner" @ NL10.

Since I moved up from NL5 2 weeks ago, my winrate is 1.66 BB/100 and my All-in Adj winrate is 8.63 BB/100. Those are 12 buy-ins missing in my bankroll. I know many people experienced far, far worse downswings but for me this was a nice reminder how brutal this game can be. At least I am satisfied I did not give up ans tried to keep playing as good as I could.

I'll take a break from poker for several weeks now, holidays period

gg boys, nice results

Nice results everybody.

25nl streets are going well. Still improving everyday and I still think I have a long way to go but I like the progress.



Red line used to be break even ish but I've pushed some new spots after working with MDA. I still want a rocket ship but I'll take the trend upwards.

I really think you can beat the micro's for 20bb+ at reg tables if you know how to max exploit. I've made a ton of mistakes and still doing solid.

Is this including rake?
