Disappointing to see this but it will repeat until you accept you must change your approach to poker. I say this from experience and the feeling of blowing a big roll is the worst I ever felt while playing poker. As a result I stopped playing for a few years until I changed my approach to the game from being concerned with profit and making money to playing for fun combined w

I absolutely hate this situation.
Came clean to my mother and she was like Yeah you are a gambler of course you lost everything.
Will come clean to my father today and try to get back some money enough to grind with.

Hit legs in the gym just now, check out my training journal in my other threads if you want to see a saner version of me.

Kthxbai.


You should probably do a bank roll management strategy which is high variance and aggressive. Do the maths and figure out how to do like 15-20bi tournaments, but move down reasonably and don't go AllIn all the time

So if I understand your situation correctly, you don't play with stacks in BBs, you don't auto download your HHs to your computer, and you don't know how to manually request your HHs?

I think Q9 off is a fold pre. It definitely isn't a call on the flop. Id fold flop but raising would be better than calling.

While your busto or close to it you should spend a little time studying the game if you are hoping to actually make money outta this long term.

You might as well just buyin to the biggest tourney available if you are going to punt off everything when you lose your big buyin.

If you have 300, buy into a 300 tourney. It makes more sense than buying into 300 worth of tournies and punting off $200 when you're mad because you busted a $109

Nah its a call pre but not on the flop waa 15ishbb deep, for sure solver proof pre but post was loose.
If I dont lose those two BBs I would have more fold equity the next hand with AKo vs A8o so Yeah I ****ed myself up which is classic me.

I have to request x amount of hand histories and it was like 120 hands ago I CBA to look through all of them.


I am a ticking time bomb, I feel utter and complete aggression.
This is not good.

It seems like your skill, approach to the game, and tilt control are all very low. Have you considered betting sports instead of poker? You'll likely lose money slower and have longer sweats.

Sometimes I am incredibly sharp and sometimes I am so atrocious that its not even funny.
The best players have in common that they are on they A or atleast B game for the longest periods of time.

Meanwhile I swing from A to Z in 15 minutes because something tilts me.
Like I dont tilt for periods, nothing can tilt me.
And then something happens like I broke my watch when bashing my fist against the table and im on monkey tilt ffs.

Didnt muster the strength to ask my dad for my/our money so I took a lot of sleeping meds and heading for sleep.
Think I wrote that already, Idk idc.
Salary comes at 00.00 will put alarm on 00.05 Idk if debt collector agency can take money from my account so will deposit some and withdraw some to my crypto.com card.

Yeah thats it for me today guys, kthxbai hope you enjoyed the **** show.


As many stacks as you say you punt (taking your word for it) you aren't going to be a winning player.

Send someone you can trust a good chunk of your paycheck tomorrow so you aren't potentially busto after 1 bad day.

Do you want to be a winning player? It honestly seems like no, you are just here for the gamble and the ride which if so I can still appreciate the entertainment you are bringing us. I'd prefer to see you winning but that doesn't seem to be a priority for you.

How do you know what an "A" "B" or "Z" game is?
