Biggest loser in online poker history wants to grind $16k
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 Sklansky, all Harrington, all Miller, watched huge amount of videos, bought trackers and calculators.
Still after those years and after that all I've lost huge amount of money on those stakes. I try to play my best but losing to huge suckouts like 95/5 favorite makes me really upset.
I've lost literally all my money including all my life savings to online poker. I want to try one last time to win those money back and little bit of extra. That's why $16k. What I need is support and guiding.
I had thread on micro forum but they deleted it just when people start to understand that this is real situation and not fake.
And if you wonder where that biggest loser comes from it was said by guy who has been playing for living many years. He said I'm the biggest loser in history counted as lost buy ins.
Paisting have you changed any part of your strategy over the last 20 years or do you still do everything exactly the same?
His poker manual supplied by ACME recommends a 100bb+ shove when facing a raise. Paisting is at peak perfection and he will achieve his goal any day now.
When this catches on this move will be called "Running Over" in his honour. I salute you Paisting, you are a living legend.
Paisting, how much worse do you think your results would be if you didn't have a HUD?
Hi,
I am 2k down at 5l and 6k down at 10nl how do you beat the micros?
I think a lot of your problem Paisting is that you think $0.10 means as much to everyone else as it does to you.
Think Paistings is 100% on Disability Money and Bipolar or Schizophrenic.
I am also on Disability but can only afford 300 Euros per month for gambling. I can afford to play nl10 with 30 buy ins every month.
The rest goes for clothes, food, zigaretts.
I assume Paisting lives a very economical life. He eats unhealthy and so on. Because how on earth can you afford to lose 1k dollars each month.
You get like 1600 dollars maximum disability money. Rent and so on you got it, 1k left. Maybe living and eating in moms house. x) ))

This is likely the case, he is on record saying how he eats so sparingly and lives a low quality of life in order to facilitate his passion/addiction/insanity(take your pick).
It is sad that he chooses to ignore sound advice and even free coaching, the level of support and advice he has been offered in this thread is almost unheard of in poker and he continues to go this way.
What a waste but what else can anyone do?

He thinks that poker should be figured out by oneself without help from anyone else (LOL) so he's very against study groups, receiving coaching, or listening to any advice whatsoever because then it's not "his ideas".
Ironically he still reads poker books, watches videos, and uses a HUD, despite being so against any assistance to help get better at poker.
TBH a study group would break his brain and he'd quit after 10 minutes after realizing everything he's believed the last 2 decades about poker is wrong.
Funny thing is that when he started this thread he said this:
..Yet does not take use any of the very substantial number of pieces of advice within this thread.

I don't think he still reads books or even watches any poker videos. I get the feeling he stopped reading after Sklansky and maybe Harrington and watched early WPT episodes almost 20 years ago. I've asked him about this more than once and he never responds.
Yeah it's more likely he just says he watches videos or reads any educational material on poker. The HUD he might use yeah, but that's just to identify WHO IS WHO
he only has one statistic on his HUD and that is ATS (Attempt To Steal). doyn't tach my bloinds!!
Paisting what is the last poker book or stream that you read/watched?
I think Paisting should switch to tourneys. Eventually he would get a massive stack in one, start playing decent and run real deep if not win. It is his only chance to win a chunk of money back. This cash game grind just isn't ever gonna work.

Detrimental, everyone would be going for his ante in his mind.

The real answer is Spins but he "doesn't want to learn a new format"
...as if things could get any worse for him lol.
Hi Paisting. Spring is around the corner. Hope things are going great.
He is very quiet, don't know if that is good or bad.
Paisting did you and OFA play yet?
What would you recommend for a heavily losing micros player like him (or maybe someone else) to read?
I don't really know what would help Paisting, but if someone else was trying to beat micros you;d probably be better off with a video course than a book. I thought "From the Ground Up" was pretty solid.
So Paisting, how did having no self control, no willingness to learn and no desire to change anything about what you're doing work out for you in March?
