To reduce the impact on our bankroll but still be able to play those games? Abi is like 4$, this big field tournaments with lots on top are high variance, mixing it up with lower field sizes on partypoker and unibet (and stars most of the time). It doesn't make sense for you?

Well it makes sense as in I understand how selling action works, but in your spot it seems like you are increasing variance but aren't increasing expectation. If anything, you're lowering your expectation, you'd likely make more money having 100% of yourself in a $4 than 20% of yourself in a $20.

I think you are Right. BUT being able to play $20 mtt will increase learning curve (better opponents) and when OP meets his BRM to play 20$ he will already be used to stakes.



call my all in on the turn, its insane

Yeah, some valid points

I bought everything that was left, GL, ship it!


BUST

awfull running


New day in the books

long grind, seen so much today. Mtt poker attracts so much fish, but looks like its soo diffcult to own them.
All by al I end up on the FT of one of the smaller mtt of the day on gg, 2.5 turbostack





utg is a fish, opening all over the place. So I decided to shove 1010 in the big blind, lose the flip.



difficult spot on the FT, what to do with 99 here? I ended up folding

@repentless: I think I cash one of the mtt you bought % in, last one ended like this: I 3b, end up calling, insane good spot for 170bb but gg


• Session duration: 11h10miin
• # of tournaments: 50
• Session buy ins:228.60 (ABI 4.57)
• profit: 48.03
• bankroll after session: 936.34

Tomorrow I'm planning of do the same schedule of APT (% to sell again on GG) but start maybe a little bit earlier. Girlfriend want some quality time in the evening.


I would fold with 99s there as well, 3bet from ongtopoker seems very strong, he is 3betting against a huge chipleader with many shorter stacks in the table.

maybe shove JJ+


Done withe poker

at least for the day

Very afwull day in the fiels. APL fields are full of asian fishes, but I can't manage a single win against them. They getting it in very bad, but gg helps a hand every time. one of the days you are willing to believe GG is rigged as ****ed. But we know better, are we?


ALl in on the turn, it's soo ****ing unbelievable sometimes. Drives me crazy

Maybe I play tomorrow a small buy in session as confidence boost, but at the moment I don't feel like playing poker at all.

I will quit on Unibet poker after today, shitty software, shitty tournaments and no runners in downtime. Plus one poker lobby less on the second monitor will be nice.

We doubled our bankroll in 20 days, soo we can't complain. But today I will.

• Session duration: 11u05
• # of tournaments: 41
• Session buy ins:207,52 (ABI 5,05)
• profit: -122.42
• bankroll after session: 813.92


I don't feel like playing poker at all.

Maybe try blackjack. Ive 10x my bankroll prolly eight times in my career. you could be playing $44s in no time with 200 buyin roll. good luck,


Keep on grinding, these sessions happening. I feel your pain.
