Q: any prove of you running "badly" today ? (lost profit, TILT mode, etc.)

A: here it is (for all of you who are curious enough) ... after loosing all of those (+ some marginal pots, getting somewhat angry and hungry, but those are the days you shold close app and forget poker!)

Q: Hot-streak grind continue 😏 ?

A: sure, but not for me anymore! :waterfall: End of last week was totally DESTRUCTIVE for my roll and this is mostly because I just step on the wrong side of variance.

And I know what I'm talking about - there is no need to prove by screenshots anymore, I know the odds, the probabilities and how the variance looks like, so just it is like it is. Since I was down around 280BB (SCREENSHOT) I just decided to take some of blinds back which was really a bad idea :Teardrop: at all (I wrote, when you did not fit into hands, you should stop playing!!!). Lost another couple of BI and decided to add couple of PLO tables too to see that running like never before: lost 5BI during 5 minutes session and loosing all of my 6 tables with running my 2nd nuts into nuts (turn/river, no matter, top full-house into quads was really a way too much for me) ...

So I know that PLO is much more variance game like Hold'em and the very best thing I done after while was STOP playing. My looses (loss stop) ends on 1050BB which is way not acceptable anymore!!! The 'good' thing was that I mostly lost profit made on my cash game tickets except of PLO which bleeding my tiny BR a lot!

So having said that, I end with adding at least 1.98 (peek was at 18.52€) from my nice NL4 ticket and playthrough the 2nd one:

screenshot.png.2cdcc6584f83ce32370d41d715e20b49.png

My "problem" continue also on Saturday night when I lost another portion of around 400BB. Most of them lost again on PLO - did not played soo bad, but cannot win a thing ... once made hand, getting suck-out or everybody FOLDed - you know how is it going ...

Q: so all poker getting rigged ?

A: NO, I did not see (say) it that way. My play was somewhat acceptable (most of the time, some TILT was involved for sure, but not big impact on overall "score") but as I already mentioned VARIANCE take you from time to time and if you realize that, you can handle it as well :Thumbsup:

Q: so you cried into the pillow whole weekend ?

A: yes, that is exactly what I did :Secret:

Q: what is your plan now ?

A: I will just take all of my "money" back despite the fact it was mostly only bonuses! :Tongue:

I already received the Double trouble ticket (not surprisingly) it could be awesome to get it into money (I did this only once until now :Disappointed:).

DT.png.2f19c4dd33980a3274d3761c414e6a51.png

I approach getting further 'booster' rewards which I plan to use in the best possible way:

avatars.png.0ba9c2018d1051c69c3e57e368305e97.png

So main plan is to continue play my game and recover from what already happen (as you cannot changed/affect it once done). Thinking about excluding my from PLO games as far as I continue looses there no matter which hands I selected, how I played them ... outcome still the same! I should won another bonus boosters and try to use them in best possible way as well and let's see what next month bring to us :Cash:

Meanwhile ... Rags to Riches still sucks! We all know that, probabilities to won "something" really terrible ... also Freerolls FLIPs running BAD, all of triggers expected!

Run good my dear friends, see you at the tables! The strong player is able to recognize what is good what is wrong and how to take care about things ... :Inlove:

Q: so what is your actual receipt to beat that VARIANCE ?

A: it is as easy as follow those MadAdo's ruleS:

  1. cashout -> already done :Thumbsup: This is very important for keeping motivation and keep sure that you cannot loose all your money :Cheeky:
  2. do not rebuy anymore -> no matter what situation is like, how fishes you have at your table, just don't do it!
  3. half buy-ins -> buy for 50BB instead of full stack (100BB) => if you loose money it did not cost way too much, if you won, do it following step-by-step policy!
  4. leave table when your stack is under 30BB also when reach 200-250BB => hit and run approach
  5. change alliases/identity a lot -> it is important to did not bring too many tells to the table (don't be known at the table)
  6. adjust your game -> swap playing tight/passive with loose/aggresive style. Made some wild moves and keep playing like a PRO - you need to follow table dynamic!
  7. use GOD-like mode once activated -> ask Mr. @RayL  to be such polite to activate it for you
  8. just repeat :Rofl:

So see you at the table guys, I will be well-prepared :Cash:

Q: does the receipt works ?

A: very soon to clarify, but it seems like that especially at NANOs, the patient is the key factor (beside the receipt of course 🤣)

Here is today progress which I will take most likely much more time! 2nd time in my huge poker career that I did not must rebuy at any table + green-up all the tables!!! :popeye:

Q: finishing July missions ?

A: NO, I just did not want to throw away tickets which are approach expiration date!

(I will not finish all of July's missions after 10s consecutive months => rewards simply not enough to be motivated ...)

As an odds expert, what do you think, should I go call the allin with my 33% chance? Omaha freeroll, 40 left, first hand after break, I had 20K chips/16K will left if i fold, no info, but I was sure one of them will go for a flush, 45% was the preflop and postflop agressor, 21% callled on every street, could triple up.

@psrquack  if you can triple-up, you should call it for sure! I think that this is somewhat "dream" flop for you anyway. Your straight draws really nice here, but I will be a little bit worried about potential flush-draws (they already come once I'm involved). If you FOLD this one you need to pick-up some "picture" hand, close your eyes and ship all chips in the middle! I think that fold is way too careful here - but I will most probably FOLD as well :-( but folding here means you will be "bubbled" quite often ... so let's call next time :cash:

Q: do you like Unibet competitions ?

A: YES, they are all amazing and I really like to say 👍 to chance to earn some free bonus money!

Q: and how is it with the Rags to Riches promo ?

A: that sucks! you know your odds are like this:

pass Stage 1: 3 out of 6 (NO reward for fail)

pass Stage 2: 3 out of 6 (1:2 chance to pass over here, NO reward for fail this one)

pass Stage 3: 2 out of 6 (1:4 chance to pass here, Flip ticket for fail this one -> Flip ticket has chance for money approximatelly 1:9)

pass Stage 4: 2 out of 6 (1:12 chance to pass here, back to stage1 if fail this one -> this way seems to be really an idiotic approach = aka wasting of 12 keys)

pass Stage 5: 1 out of 6 (1:36 chance to pass here, 1€ Unibet Open ticket if fail this one = who like UO stats can be happy with that)

pass Stage 6: 1 out of 6 (1:216 chance to pass here, 2€ HexaPro ticket if fail this one = but we all know what HXpro are all about)

Finally 1:1296 to won 20€ money !!! (Bronze tier)

  • 2 weeks later...

Q: so you are quite calm down 😪 ?

A: Personally I don't think it is a case, just hiding myself from REGs!

Playing CASH sessions most of the time as there is really no time to mess with MTT or S&G or HXpro 🤣

s1.thumb.png.0cd74f8e2ed81bcaf698425c64b39d4e.png

Villain play tooo agro in this spot and we moved all-in on the turn card (he bet PF, reraise me on the flop and turn too)!

This spot turns-out to be a "difference" between success or EV morning 1h session (ends up in juicy 400BB profit).

screenshot.thumb.png.1732af9eb00aade17e989ab1b254a8d7.png

This 'guy' pays me quite a lot during 1 orbit period! Added couple BB on other tables as well and decide to escape the session (don't want to be too greedy).

NOTE: beware in cash games -> if your money goes wrong way, it should also be a case of 'disguise' MadAdo guy!!! Play responsible and see you at the tables :Thumbsup:

Q: Are there any funny stories so far ?

A: Sure :happyshy:, playing CASH seems to be funny at all whole day long 😏 beside all those 1-2-3-4 outers suck-outs on river there are several shiny moments like this one:

screenshot.thumb.png.d885d928d41749bcb12c3869bca8af48.png

See you at the tables, do not be too serious as game tends to be much more RELAX last days :cash:

Q: are you still playing early morning cash sessions ?

A: seems like a grind, but volume quite low for saying that ... I manage to see around 250-300 flops per my 6-tables session (around 1,5h long) most of the time.

Good sign is that made green sessions only for multiple consecutive days period which let me fool that I learn something finally! 😏

Today was another 'success' day beside 2 very important moments:

screenshot.png.ce1e44310e33df2f51c51a428509ae75.png

Here the full hand picture, do you have any toughts :geek: ? Honestly I did not ever realize that river is somewhat danger for me, did not notice that it is 3rd 4 card but if it will, it will probably change not at all in this spot (pot odds too high here).

hh.png.c84387285ca23616f27146d426d9370c.png

Further pain was loosing my KK (aka curse) in huge all-in pot (339BB) -> as my wish there was to be in the hand against the 2nd villain - he was very solid FISH player aka donator :Secret:. Did not hold it against AA (winner of the juicy pot) and ATo.

 

Important observation of my game-play (aka variance): repeatly in nearly each session I'm getting down around 150-250BB, than turning the lights-on and escape with tiny profit (100BB+) ... just some interesting fact.

It seems I could be prepared to the next week's Moving On Up tier (try to step into NL10 ground). Only shame is that I'm missing several poker bonus points to taste it without risking bankroll money due to the fact that my horses did not running optimal for this week contest ... don't be soo greedy, patient and lot of fun! :Thumbsup: See you at the tables, be prepared!

The 1 outer was a real cooler, you can't do anything against it. I interested your flop play. Was the LP raiser a very agressive villain? If yes then I understand your €0.10 raise and can accept it was a blocking bet to avoid a bigger bet from the LP player's side (i can image he would pot bet, so you could spare some blinds with the €0.10 bet/call). If he wasn't an agressive one what was your thought behind the bet?

@psrquack  the LP guy was exactly the same one as entering in HUGE pot hand with ATo. Think that saying that could be enough information for you :speechless: Another fact is that I'm in this hand OOP so there is no need to stay passive or FOLD each pair you get in paired flop -> many Unibet BINGO players getting mad with hands like Ax and if he will hold Jack he will raise my bet which already happen. Turn 6 is my dream card and all my wish was to maximalize profit of hitting it. It did not happen this time, but I'm not stop playing poker or moan like our beloved community friend. 🤣

If you ask what my action will be if turn did not hit me -> I will just FOLD most of the time. But my observation is that I'm loosing way toooooooooo much money by being really passive in the hand (aka calling station). So from time to time you need to mix further buttons beside the Check/Fold ones 🤫 So my biggest leak is became very post-FLOP passive and my biggest strength seems to be GAY-betting river and trap huge pot bluffs ... or just having nutty hand and fruits collecting strategy - just be patient and play wisely, that's it, money will come to your side :cash: See you at some freerolls, but I'm foolish identities, so don't seek for MadAdo several days ... :wonder:

I understand being passive it's not a +EV game, but a raise from the LP could be expected and we still don't know what BB will do and going for 2 outs also seems a little risky to me. I also accept variance at your playing style is a must, but there are too many risky factores how many chips we should put in the middle if we want to see the turn. So if the price of €0.20 for the turn was acceptable to you then your play was genial.

I really don't know why do you play those freerolls? You have the BR, there are no cash rewards and it's very difficult fruit something from them, but I hope if I must be knocked out it will be you.

@psrquack  as simple as is - I just love playing poker and especially for case of freerolls there is not much poker at all :haha: ! But when you survive first 1/2 hour it could be even better (not always a case). You know I risk nothing like my time and when I have some, why not chasing earn 'free' ticket ? So I'm preparing myself for potential mission quests when tickets could be very handy. My intention is not winning a seat at Malta or Paris, just collect some tickets and play them whenever approach its expiration date. "You have the BR" -> how do you know that ? 😏

+ my last note to the Hand analysis mentioned before -> as I called PF bet with investing additional 6c (I'm SB) AND! I decide to bet flop by additional 10c then just calling raise by additional 10c seems to be not a bad move (review your pot/implied-odds knowledge) !!! If you disagree you should probably play chess otherwise.

Furthermore I just did not "believe" any of villain should hold any 4 in his range and I don't fear any J so much until another one come on river :speechless: There is never a shame to FOLD hand regardless you invest some money into it and we all know that holding some pocket pair is fairly meaningfull combination in Hold'em -> you won money for 50% cases which makes my moves even more acceptable. If turn will come some T+ I have no problem to just give up ... that 6 was my dreamful card (9% odds) until river suck-out -> just happen, just loose some money, but somewhat happy with my gameplay here. You can hardly beat 4 of a kind, can you ? ❤️

Let me use my elementary GR1ZZL3R skills:

"It seems I could be prepared to the next week's Moving On Up tier (try to step into NL10 ground)." Means you are ready to risk at least €20 in the next week which wouldn't touch your fun at NL4 ("playing CASH seems to be funny at all whole day long") because you don't like to risk your bankroll if there is another option for example freerolls ("You know I risk nothing like my time") the conclusion is you must have the necessary sum.😃

A: it is a waste of time, but found this one (today's morning before lunch meal (before 11 CEST)):

screenshot.thumb.png.6a9eb4de25c34c32ae5de802934efa6f.png

- during first hand 5 players were all-in ... so reaching FINAL table :Rofl: after first hand and we all were suddenly ITM (registration closed after first knock-out player reach ITM zone) !!!

@psrquack@GR1ZZL3R, @pinki  and how do you prepare for a weekend ?

@MadAdo 

I don't prepare really, just play when I feel like it. Had 10 x €1 UO tickets left this morning and decided to play them all today, but lost the first 3 and won the fourth only after being a good chip leader and other players making poor (bad) calls and letting the small stacks all bunch up, 30 mins of agony. (That's why I like them really.)

I'll probably say that's enough for today and play the rest as and when I feel like it over the weekend, clearing out the €1 and going onto the next level, or even leaving the UO tx for a while, at least 4 months date on most of them, and switching back to the UK's, dates catching up. These satties are now my  long term project so I really don't feel under any pressure and it's more relaxing playing, if I miss one date there's always another, though Manchester remains my main target.

@MadAdo nothing special.  I am often logged in. But im playing mostly some UO satties. around 21-22.  i hate playing lately bellow 3 tables. even mtt  qualifiers  are exhausting and boring to me  (one per  hour).  Stakes 1-2 € do not encourage me, (small field) 5€ as i said  before,: not enough satellites to them  and also  not enough quantity - so even with 500€ is hard invent something. Maybe with 4/h :0.2->1€ and 2/h: 1->5€ etc. Not enough tournaments ie. from 12:00 - 00:00,  1 or 2  bounty/freezout every hour. Thats why i decied spent  my bankroll  on fishing eq 🆒  I had some money for poker bankroll from other sources too. 

Now im  playing  when im watching some films/YT,. without any plan,  sometimes i won smth, then I'm trying to win something faster at the casino. even when i win there i havent any  idea for poker.  Only  mixing it with other rooms makes some sense.  I'm in a dead end :)

Winter is coming, we'll see.
