Must be crazy to see the difference in skill while multitabling it.

Cant wait to see a blog post when the luck is on your side, now it's already nice profit but then it would explode on that graph I think..


It's relentless mate.  I've got people trying to gift me money but Unibet doesn't seem to want to allow it.  Just had this as we speak:

But hey, during your 5 man adventure, your un-opened, pre flop go to move was to go all-in with everything once you had the chip-lead. I don't know whether that's much smarter...

We're gonna win on so many levels! We're gonna win, win, win. You're gonna get so tired of winning, you're gonna say: "Mr. President please, we don't wanna win anymore, it's too much!" And I'm gonna say: "I'm sorry, we're gonna keep winning because we're gonna make America great again!"

I can see how it might be easy for you to get confused with the differences of someone shoving 14 times pot heads up with no ICM consideration and shoving wide into the short stacks on the bubble of a 5 man, given your clear flawless theoretical knowledge of poker.  Look, we can't all be perfect.  

But hey, with a 7.4% ROI at €10/25 5 mans and a 6.9% ROI over 9000 €25 HUSNGs, what do I know?  

Maybe I'll seek some coaching from someone that estimates their ROI to be around 5%.

Still more than what you made during your recent 5 man adventure....

I'm going to miss those easy double-ups...

Ahh yes, that session of 6 games where I won 2, ironically for a 5% profit.  Imagine playing 5 mans for 4 years and only having a 5% LOL.  I'm up for a HU challenge any time you want, just let me know when.

Anyway, back to real business.  Clawed back the 15bi loss from yesterday with a 15.6bi win today.

Hopefully Wudu will accept a HU challenge so I can add some easy money to the bankroll but given he has more estimates than a builder I won't hold my breath that he's not all talk.

So your phenomenal ROI of 7,52933 % on 5 man SNG10s is due to very few games that were probably played a long time ago? Exactly what I thought...

Get's called out for his 5 man game, puts out a HU challenge:

Maybe it's time to go a little easy on the brewsky, Captain Booze-Face.

"Imagine playing 5 mans for 4 years and only having a 5% LOL"

It's actually quite nice. A healthy and (almost) stress-free hobby.  You don't look/sound so healthy and stress-free to me, to be honest...

We're gonna win on so many levels! We're gonna win, win, win. You're gonna get so tired of winning, you're gonna say: "Mr. President please, we don't wanna win anymore, it's too much!" And I'm gonna say: "I'm sorry, we're gonna keep winning because we're gonna make America great again!"

An ego war would suggest fight on both sides. Wudu is so scared of playing me heads up he refuses to even acknowledge the challenge 🤣

For someone that’s perfected the theoretical understanding of poker maybe one day he’ll win for more than a paltry 5%* and grow some balls.

* Estimated 5%, of course.

i am no sng icm wizard but knowing the basics tells me that ofter you have situations on the bubble where it is justified to shuve with a wider range.. (ofc not T6s from cu when everyone is 10BB deep or K8o from CO .. but on avg it's ok to shuv wider)
i don't know what BB stacks where on the tables and with what hands bucky did open shuve in those icm spots @WuDu  is talking about but for example if you check some screens bellow it's often ok to shuv it and to fold with.. so maybe @Brocky  & @WuDu  are both correct :-)

Of course you can shove super wide on the bubble into short stacks as they can only profitably fall a very tiny part of their range due to ICM. If you want to improve at poker I wouldn’t take any advice from a guy that is barely beating the games after 4 years of playing them.

100/200/25 blinds, Hero has 6k, other 2 stacks have 2k each.  ICMizer has hero shoving 72% profitably which seems fairly consistent to what I would have been shoving, even if I maybe very slightly wider.

Important to note that it says SB can only call 6.2% profitably with BB at 9.6%.  This means that AJo and 77 are a fold for SB.

Totally agree @Petit_pertotal 

HU v SNG   

Pro v Not Pro.

Public Player v Private Player.

Results Submitted v Results Estimated.

I'm not taking sides but pointing out you guys are squabbling over different approaches, different attitudes, different games etc etc etc. It can be very entertaining but personal attacks lower the tone completely.

I'm absolutely pumped at the moment.  Just had a horrible, horrible day at the tables and still managed to finish up.  Probably should've ended the session half an hour before I did as I started getting a bit tired/tilted but through the middle part where I was getting absolutely bent over I was playing so good and it's only a matter of time before I stop missing every meaningful flop.  Some of the ❤️♥️❤️ you see at the €10s feels like it's gonna leave you with PTSD.  

Going to shot take the €25s when I get to €1k which is a while away as the bankroll currently sits at €866.27 but a good day tomorrow and hopefully I'll get there.  Was going to originally try at €1250 but man I am so done with the 10s.  

Currently at a 7.27% ROI over 511 games at the 10s which I'll take but I reckon 10% is definitely attainable if I cut the number of tables and ran a bit better.

After shoving Ax into AA about 7 times over the past week it's nice to finally get one the other way!

image.png.91617dc2a09fdbfb8902747a8696f12c.png

Lost 4 off the bat, 77 < QQ first game, rivered in a flip game 2, OSED bricks vs whale's overpair after he shoved all in pre for about 10 hands because he lost 1 pot.  Those long-term blog readers amongst you will know I've talked about how I seem to strangely log in and lose 10bi without winning a game far more often than seems possible so I'm logging out before that happens.  

Feel like I'm being severely ❤️♥️❤️ tested at the moment.

If you're bored of rants feel free to unsubscribe because here we go.

Log back in after some food, fire up a few Hexas and just get destroyed beyond belief.  It appears that there is nothing I can do at the moment.

First game, back to back hands aipf (3x):

Second game aipf (1.5x):

image.png.1d8e3168866be7835ecfd72c96ebaf62.png

Third game (3x), all in on the river:

image.png.c5ce5cc7d2fb771b75b74c57c24aeb72.png

Fourth game aipf, not a massive beat but just another loss (1.5x):

image.png.9a086c26d1106c449780b3ed7ec99f21.png

Fifth game, apparently I can never have more than 3 outs (3x):

image.png.0ace6ea42c368be1d6eec7d870f8d749.pngimage.png.cc56dec83f5ee684763e9bbab10691ef.pngimage.png.1c56f3f8c3b3970d6288a74a0aa82caa.png

Sixth game, finally get a 5x.  3b jam out of the BB, get absolutely snapped off by the monsterous QJo:

image.png.fc4342588f35a23546ca4ba171ffcf43.png

Final game, what the :Heart::Hearts::Heart: is going on?

11 buy ins down dropped in ridiculous fashion.  Makes you wonder why we even bother at times.

Yeh I'm taking a break at the moment.  Contemplating streaming tonight and having a 10bi shot at the 25s with the profit from the challenge so far then dropping down to the 10s should I lose that.  

While I do think it's good to take breaks, I hate doing it because ultimately it's just wasted time, especially when I'm still playing well.
