Dont do this. Instead play 500 PLO. Run the roll up to 20k


Always kind of sucks coming in 8th but nice score man. You ran good enough to cash in a $530 buyin at least which I imagine you don't play on a regular basis so gotta look at the brightside. Bust hand looked completely standard, no way can you fold AQ vs aggro big stack even with icm considerations.

Seems like you are solid tourney player stick to those and preferably buyins 55 or under? Just don't want to see you go busto!

WHERE ARE YOU NOW AND THE +3 LIKE PEOPLE WHO LIKED THIS??

WHERE ARE YOU NOW

Hey, good job.

I think the point that I was sarcastically getting at is that since the inception of this thread, you've ran up bankrolls and then dusted them off very quickly. Have you made changes to your mindset/mental game/on the felt game that you think will help you preserve this bankroll?

Yes bro, lets ****ing GO!!!!!!


What's the plan now?


by DeeKayBee

What's the plan now?

i paid back a couple of loans and some to my parents, also half of what i owed by live backer.
roll at $1200 right now.

i will play satellites hardcore especially on weekends(less regs, more regs), and also $11-$16.50 majors daily on stars.

goal is $10.000, SCOOP is around the corner - might even blink $50k+ if we do good in the sattys.

thank you WPNguy, won't call you a dork since you seem to be a good dude.

I am pretty ok as a player, have lots of room to evolve.
Next link I will invest in a coach, and right now i got enough money for a good HUD (Sharkscope desktop).

thank you again for your kind words in this journal!

Slow and steady wins the race big cat.

The advice to pay off the debts in full asap isn’t as good of advice as it may seem. This likely just puts you back in position to borrow again so I don’t think it’ll solve much for OP.

One step at a time. Maintain relationships and manage your debt the best you can but aim for improvement always and the rest can follow


u could get some hookers with $1200. roll might be $700 after the hookers. don't use condoms.

I know man she is so merciful and kind.
She absolutely hates me playing, but yesterday during breaks I was running around the house excited telling her and my father to bless my run.

She didnt do it lol, dad did it though.
They are both anti gambling (understandable) but I will prove to them that I can make it big.

U need to win the wsop main and then be playing 100ks against haxton, negreanu, Ivey,

Hey, big fan of the thread. Listen man, you're in a tough spot but I think if you follow this advice you can make it in poker because of how much you seem to want it. Next paycheck, deposit 50$ on stars and grind no higher then 0.55$s and this is still very bad bankroll management and you haven't even proven you can win against these guys, no offense, so grind it up until you

Dude if you read this, are you Matt Holvik on PokerStars?
I saw an old Snapchat reel where I chopped a hot $27 with a guy called Matt Holvik.

If you are Pm Me man

My guy, thank you.

Sunday today!
Had a nice day with the chick M yesterday and we also took a nice walk today outside and it was good weather.

A good start to our day, and hopefully today is the day that we hit hard and relentless on the online poker felts.
My game is sharper than ever, and I improve day by day.
