Fun Player's Guide to the Galaxy
Well let's see.... I'm here, but not quite sure what I'm doing here.
I mean I don't feel drunk.
I thought 7/9 would be a fitting date to mark the start point of whatever this will be. 79 being my favorite hand and all. Yes one thing you should know about fun players is that we all have our favorite hand. Usually it ties back to some big pot you won from playing badly and running godly. For me that hand is 7♠9♠
I guess the purpose of this thread is to provide me an outlet to post random updates related to poker.
I haven't played a whole lot in recent years due to time constraints. Live poker is just so time consuming. But I have managed to fit in 1 or 2 tourneys a year and the occassional cash session once a month or so. Not much to write home about. I min cashed some $1100 event last summer and am up a fair amount in the limited cash I've played.
I also play some online, but options for Americans are pretty crappy. I mostly play 100NL 6 max on ignition and some of their tourneys once in awhile. I recently checked out Bet Online and have dabbled in 50NL 6max. The player pool is super small. There seems to be like maybe 10 regs and a handful of random weaker players. At peak hrs there are maybe 4 tables going. I play without a HUD so I'm only 1 or 2 tabling anyways.
I plan on playing the Monster Stack again next year, but will also schedule time so I can play the ME as well. It would be nice to subsidize that with my cash play. So I guess the main goal/challenge is to make $11,500 within about 150hrs of play.
And the side quest will be to make a good showing in the tourneys.
As for where my game is at: Though I've played relatively little, I've actually studied quite a bit. My thoughts on the game in both cash and tournaments has changed quite dramatically over the last few years. I feel my tournament fundamentals have become more solid, but I still find myself Selbsting off my stack near every money bubble. This is one thing I've never bothered to fix. I think it's time now to stop that and see what it does for my results.
For this month I can probably fit in one cash session and I will also be playing a $1650 at the end of the month.
For cash I typically play 2/5 and 5/10.
I guess I can close out with a HH.
One hand I played on my recent Vegas trip.
5/10 NL
Villain is MAWG with about 2200, hero covers.
PF: Villain opens UTG to 30, hero UTG+1 3bets to 110 with AQo, HJ cold calls, folds back to Villain who calls.
Flop(345): J 8 7r
Villain leads 200, hero makes it 600, fold, villain calls.
Turn(1545): Q
Villain checks, hero checks
River(1545): 7
Villain bets 500, hero raises to 1k, villain makes crying call and mucks.
Lol this thread is getting you some good action. Jones was talking about it in some interview this year but didn’t specify limits or when it runs, probably 30/60 with some kills.
�� Sorry, I'm that guy... hopped on last night after getting home from the casino. I recognized your ID and may have been drinking so I decided to give you some action.
Wait is this real? lmao kk what an insane coincidence I take back any ill will towards you. all good man gg.
epic
I guess the pain will just continue all the way until the end. Can't wait til it's over. If you're in a hand vs me and have a FD just jam you'll never not get there.
I didn't play that much 50nl so didn't really think about it. But I just checked out my graph and saw how ridiculous it was. For whatever reason they doomswitched my account it seems.
Alright at this point I'm calling it. ACR is rigged vs me for whatever reason. How sick is it that once the turn comes I know I'm screwed.
I'm officially 50% AA vs AK aipf over the last 12 instances.
This will probably be the last time I get this. Kind of crazy I front loaded so mich volume that I snuck in even though I barely played Thu and Friday.
I'm only 334 points away from Legend status.
Once that's clear probably going to withdraw everything and move my volume over to Global.
Though I did already get the business there today as well. 150bb aipf AA vs KK. Flop K. And turn K just for good measure.
Mission complete.
Nice, congrats on Legend! That's my goal for next year.
I've seen some people have 60+ buy in under EV downswings in the middle of their graphs and go on to keep winning long term.
Seems like you've just had a run of really bad luck and gotten screwed by variance lately. Maybe Global will be a nice change though.

Yeah I'm definitely in that neighborhood and it's been pretty consistent for about a year. I think my account is just doom switched on ACR.
Haven't won w/ AA in so long.

I have never had such a long run of losing 80/20s 90/10s. Pretty surreal.
Finally.
Reported all of the bots still running that I'm aware of.
Will be interesting to see if they are banned in the coming weeks.
Not really sure how long this will go on for as everyday is pretty much just repeat of these. But not going to find out.

Just noticed the free tourney in my box. I don't even know what it's for really or if I can play it on Sunday (unlikely) But I guess we'll see what happens.
Tourney was a bust. Always happy to play a freebie though.
Playing a bit more on Global. Trying to grind up from the micros there.
Left a small roll on ACR will still grind maybe half the time there for practice.
I'm no math guy. But pretty sure the amount of these I've lost is statistically improbable at this point. Is it really a thing to lose 70% of the time over a decent sample in 90/10 or 95/5 spots?

Trying out some Global. I guess they got the memo from ACR regarding my account.
https://play.globalpoker.com/hand/00a77c...
Currently 75 buy ins under EV and counting on ACR. Seems like the count just grows every day.
I think all your luck went to hitting 6 royals in the same span of hands
Haha I know right. I also hit an absurd amount of straight flushes too.
I wish I could've swapped for the other option instead.
Though I did sunrun for 4 hands at 100 yesterday so that was a nice change of pace. I'll take whatever I can get at this point.
#8. God no. I can only imagine the run bad debt I have to pay now.
Damn time to play Ultimate Texas Holdem next time you are at the casino. You'd get paid $1M for flopping that
