I start this with some pictures:

nl2 -$8792.18 -82 buy ins below EV

nl5 (notice that pt4 shows party poker nl5 as nl4) -$5943.81

nl10 -$773.92 -15 buy ins below EV

Total loss -$15509.91

This is me playing nl2, nl5 and nl10 on party poker for one year.

My history begins somewhere in same period when they started to show WSOP shows in television. I think I have played 12-13 years nows mainly NL2, some amount of NL5 and little bit of NL10 what is the biggest stake i've ever played.

I've read all Sklansk

I've usually taken 1-2 trips to Vegas per year since 2018. this will be my 5th trip within the last 12 months. holy smokes, what a year!
almost always make a January or February getaway for something to look to during the most depressing time of the year when the North Dakota weather is dreadful.

I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?

So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at low-info Boomers like my religions aunts. I have two questions:

a) Is anyone here who supports Trump bothered by lies like this?

b) Does anyone know what he's even talking about here? Like is there some grain of truth that he's embellishing on bigly?

I woke up in the middle of choking to death again; though to be accurate, it was towards the end of the process--woke up right away in a white hot panic with black spots of permanent unconsciousness swooping in across both sides of my vision.

Calm yourself, was the first important step. My lungs were soaked, steeped in the things that belonged only in my stomach, and locked up tight. My air passage was blocked and burning with bile and hydrochloric acid. No, I don't have asthma. I have a drinking

Just got into my room at the Venetian. Was an early flight and got in an hour early. So my travel day is practically a full day.

Got unpacked and settled in. Probably gonna wander around a little and settle into some cash. I kind of want to plat the Wynn noon but my body clock isn't ready for that yet. I tried to sleep on the plane but just couldn't. Spent the whole flight in a half awake half asleep state.

Tomorrow I am definitely playing the Venetion 400 deep stack.

So playing at a new spot while traveling. Table has been doing bomb pots for pretty much any reason though for some reason just single board NLHE instead of double board PLO.

I'm relatively new to the table so no definitive reads on villain. After this hand, I gathered he considers himself better than the table/quasi pro mentality but he pulled a few very questionable moves so could just be in his head.

I thought it would be a cool idea to start a thread for tax strategies in the US. This seems to be something that isn't really discussed that much or at least finding information on it isn't all that readily available. A lot of stuff out there is about whether you are filling as hobbyist or a professional. Most seems to be geared for the hobbyist, but not as much for the professional. It's my first year filing taxes as a poker player and it is a bit daunting.

A strategy that I plan on using for t

Hi 2+2ers,

Welcome to the official WPT Global thread!

WPT Global makes poker players’ dreams come true in association with the World Poker Tour. After launching in April 2022 we’re already the second-largest online poker room in the world (ranked by PokerScout.com, based on cash game traffic).

We’re joining TwoPlusTwo to share information with you, engage with the community, and answer any questions you might have.

WPT Global is special for a few reasons:

• The safest games, anywhere online: Our modern platform has been built from the beginning to leverage AI technology. We use this in two main ways. The first is to protect the games by detecting collusion, bot use, RTA use and other forms of cheating extremely quickly. We have the best Game Integrity tech I’ve experienced in my 19 years in the industry, and a team of around 50 people using it.
  Learn More Here
  
  
  
• FairGame - Every game is a great game, guaranteed: The second way we utilise AI technology is in managing our ecology. We ensure that games are sustainable and beatable by reserving seats in every game for casual players and limiting the number of seats per table that can be occupied by experts. I’ll go into more detail on this point later, in the below FAQ, but the net result is - we have the softest cash games you’ll find online, and typical win-rates for good regs are 5-10x higher than elsewhere. (If you don't believe me, just try them and see for yourself).
  
  
  
• We have had a large liquidity pool from the very beginning, especially in cash games. This is because we partnered with a couple of successful Asia-facing poker rooms to bootstrap their liquidity. Most poker startups face an enormous challenge in growing their liquidity from scratch - this solution allowed us to launch with cash games running 24/7 and it contributes to our soft player pool. Now, WPT Global is a large poker site in its own right and less dependent on the Asia liquidity, and we’re growing our games in US Dollars all the time.
  
  
  
• There is enormous value on offer - our explicit aim is to pay back more to players via promotions and giveaways than any other site. Check out our current promotions here.
  
  
  
• Global Spins is our unique twist on the Jackpot SNG concept, with a progressive jackpot and the lowest rake in the industry (5%).
  
  
  
• As part of the World Poker Tour family, we’re the best place to qualify for WPT events around the world, like the WPT World Championship at the Wynn later this year.

Hello 2+2 community

Happy new year!

The poker story

It tickled me and I had to write about it. This is a story that started more than twenty years ago when I started to play poker for the first time. I was hooked from the first hand, it started with a home game, then it evolved in playing online and much more. At first I was losing but I wanted to win badly and started buying books and later took a coach to learn how to win at poker. In the second year I became profitable and never

Hello Everyone,

CoinPoker: The Decentralized Poker Room Built for Players, by Players

Developed by an ambitious team of poker lovers, CoinPoker is a revolutionary platform that uses blockchain technology to address key issues in the poker industry. Despite being far from our vision for CoinPoker as the biggest poker room in the world, our team is proud to be the first project of its kind to deliver on the promises made during its ICO perio

1-3 500 max. My opponent and I are fully stacked.

Villain in middle position limps, Hero on Button with A9 offsuit raises to 12. blinds fold. Villain calls.

Two ways to the flop $28 in the pot.

Flop comes Ad 10d 3c.

Villain checks. I think I'm the only one with an Ace here. I'm not worried about the flush since the Ace is on the board. I'm not worried about broadway, since most players will raise with those cards. If he does have a straight draw he only has 4 outs with one being an action killer. I

Hi all,

First post in this specific forum. Normally post in NL Strategy. Hoping for some feedback about bankroll management.

I started playing 4-5 times a week at MGM National Harbor in March after a few months off. Previously I had been playing at MD Live and lost most of what I had won (around $1,200). Anyway, I took $200 to the casino and tried my luck. No bankroll to start really.

I had a great March (+$3,000) but a terrible April (-$3,000) after trying 2/5 and losing $1k and a horrific 24-hour

This hand played out some time ago, so I can't remember all the bet sizes, so please forgive me if the pot size doesn't math correctly.

1-2 400 max. I bought in for the max. Dealt pocket Jacks in middle position.

Early position who is loose and splashy makes it 10. Player to his immediate left who is a loose calling station calls.

It gets to me and I bump it to $40. One player behind calls. Blinds fold. Both early players call.

4 ways to the flop with $155 in the pot after rake.

Flop comes J Q A ra

This is a tournament hand. Weekly one day tournament with $340 buy in, half our levels, usually 100-200 entrants.

Middle stage, not yet in the money. Blinds are 1000/2000/2000. Hero is the effective stack with around 250k. V slightly covers.

There's some history with this V. He's a well known local tournament crusher. According to Hendonmob, over $1M in tournament wins, biggest cash over $130k, around 2350 on all time money list.

In this same event last month, he was on my direct left for a good ch

Table is a fun Friday night, the game was full of fish and quite deep but the winning regs smelled tuna and now the game is getting worse. We're getting ready to book a win and leave.

V1 - Crusher LAG. Very competent winning player that studies spots and has taken courses and plays full time for profit. (not sure how profitable). BB. 300$.

V2 - Loose passive unknown. Been at the table a few orbits and sat down on my left. Hasn't shown any aggression, seems mostly FoF post. I opene

Hey guys, I decided I'm going to start a new blog.

I'm 34 years old, from Belgium but have been living in Budapest, Hungary for the past 6 years. I used to play highstakes spins but have been playing PLO since 2022.

I've been playing poker professionally since 2016, so it's my 9th year being a pro now. As expected in this profession, I've had to go through several hurdles and swings. And tbh basically every year since I've started I've took at least 3 months off the year from poker. My longest br
