i'm not one for conspiracy theories. however after i cashed out of pstars (playing 50nl with 1500$ and ran it up to 6k) and left enough to grind out 4500 vpps for the 650$ bonus @ 25nl (900$ bankroll), and cashing in 2k worth of fpps for a plasma screen 50" TV, i have not had 1 single winning day in 2 weeks. i have dropped 20 buyins @ 25nl.

i do not chase gutshots. i do not chase draws if i'm not getting the right odds. i DO put my stack in if i make/have top set but my top set made a str8 on the board vs a 48/30 player. i do NOT UNDERSTAND how this keeps happening.

full tilt soon. very soon. only issue is if i go busto on stars before i clear this [censored] bonus.


HOLY [censored] WHO CALLS 40bbs PREFLOP WITH 93s?!?!?!?!!?

[Spechel EDD]

i need a better line here for value. any thoughts?

bb is a huge fish and his call of the 3-bet is nothing. guy who 3-bet me is 18/10/1.7

just won 5400fpp for sunday million entry . finally not rigged 1 time, i had been taking so many beats in those. i lost like 30k in fpps for nothing.

[Mr_Pathetic]

I figured out how to make my EV graph look like this for once. Its called stop mindlessly cbetting at NL 5. I always wondered how those ppl in BBV did it. Now can I do it over and over and over and over....

Well, I was going to write that I only needed 2 more BI to hit a true downswing (down 3 BI at 200NL and 5 BI at 100NL for -1100), but reading your post made me think I was quite lucky to just have 8-10 BI downswing. I am really not sure how I would handle a 20BI downswing....

I really dunno what to say to you...thats really really a bad streak. Hang on? dont go on life tilt? pwn? this has to stop at some point...

I would say yes.

Even though most vids are at stakes above ours they still stress good, solid, abc poker most of the time. Also there are some micro vids being spread about there as well. Usually 50NL.

Just make sure to recognize the spots that aren't applicable. Like when micro players get stubborn and do not fold to 3bets even after they've been caught. Just because it works in a CR vid doesn't always mean it will work for you.

[creamfillin]

wait so how many fpps do i need to actually get cash?

[tehDiceman]

interesting 39 hand session tonight. i thought i wanted to play but after playing a few hands decided that i didnt want to. the first orbit on one table, this wonderful hand happened. im at work and some idiot customer decided to call in so i lost my entire train of thought and thus, misplayed this hand so badly that it hurts.

right before i bet the flop his buddy at the table says:
"river me this batman"

after the hand is over:
tehDiceman said, "k thx"
super_donk said, "chaser"
tehDiceman said, "are you kidding?"
tehDiceman said, "you were behind the whole time"
super_donk said, "u r a loser queer"
tehDiceman said, "lol"
tehDiceman said, "enjoy your night"
tehDiceman sits out. &lt;--- to complete the ownage. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
