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)
This is a very clever play by Paisting. By making calls like this he is denying his opponent from having enough bluffs. All bluffs in villains range will become value bets and now its impossible for villain to bluff often enough. No solver will teach you this.

Paisting would rather finish a session down $300, confident he was never bluffed, than end up $300 ahead but be left wondering if he was.
Paisting what have you learned about poker strategy in the last twenty years? What do you do differently today than when you first started?

That open raise below 3x is massive error in those games I play. Skalansky told me that. Solver won't change that.
When I look flops where I'm massive like 80%+ ahead every time situation starts with whale with too small size against my massive size. Every time. Tell that to your solver.

So you've learned nothing new in 25 years and instead you're actively pushing back against modern strategies and using advice written by Sklansky in the 90s?

I'm only who raises big even on nl2. Think about that. Solver mimickers raises 2x or 2.2x even they got whole table calling. Read carefully this: Everytime I got money in with 80%+ equity situation has been when whale raises too small and I raise big. Look those hand histories where they suck out. Skalanskys basic poker theory: You wanna raise the maximum they pay haven't change at all these years. If you raise 2.2x with AA and got 4 callers you lose more than you win. There are no solver scenarios where are 4 callers. It's massive error to raise anything below 3x on those stakes were I play.

But you've always done that. For 20+ years. And you have been a massive losing player for 20+ years. I guess that means the answer is you haven't learned or changed anything despite being the biggest loser in online poker history. How can you continue to not evolve or change your game while losing all your money every single month?
Funny that after 20 years you still think the only reason you're losing is because you run bad lolololol

Yeah Sklansky's stuff from 30 years ago seems to work perfectly in 2025, and I'm sure he would approve what you're doing postflop as well, especially if he's playing there as well.
Paistings back in the game 😀

he won some money a few months ago (first and only winning month in like 15 years), other than that it's really disaster. he's still very lucky and running very well, but overall play hasn't improved (obviously).
You better start to think excuses how everything is normal variance and rng works perfectly before this month is going to end. I'm going to show you the worst and the biggest amount of confronted suckouts that I've ever seen on my 20 years of playing. It's something that never ever has seen. Combining all coinflips massive amounts of losses.
Start to think because the answer is not "why you play there".

Even if you ran at EV lifetime, you'd still be down 6 figures at micro cash.
Why do you think that is?
Hint: It has nothing to do with suckouts

I mean, we've just seen a post 3 above yours where you are clearly just shoving all in pre with any 2 cards for God knows how long but sure.
I was shocked that you don't even stopped playing poker even after 5 years since this thread was posted.
I am sorry but you are very bad player. You are not unlucky. You have wrong sense to determine whether it is good equity or not. Long term profit graph just proves you are absolutely bad player.
Just start another job that gives you monthly salary without any downswing. It will make you more happy.
By the way I wonder how much money you will lose until your last hand of your entire life. Thanks for your donation so far and potential future donation for both poker room operators and other players.

Good post, and he should internalize it, but the part I bolded is the only part he will pay attention to (and deny profusely)
Paising can you post some hands where you owned the whales? please
If poker is so rigged against you... why do you continue playing?
Do you hate money?
Here's one from our collective head: All-in pre 100 hands in a row -> run AK into AQ and lose -> Post in the topic and claim RNG is rigged for whales.

This thread is becoming kind of sad. I mean it always was in a way, but you keep on 3 or 4 bet jamming pre with literal garbage to prove a point against habitual stealers or whatever over and over after learning nothing over the 20 or so years you've been playing. I'm from the same country you are from, and there is an incredible amount of resources for gambling and other addicts to improve their lives in our welfare state. You just choose to keep on destroying your life even more.
Something I've been thinking about recently is that this subforum used to be filled with legit crushers sharing their grind and mindset. It was very impressive. In 2025, it's mostly literally mentally ill people gassing each other up. Does that say more about poker, this specific forum, or the medium as a whole?

Poker, how many people are legit crushing now? There's probably 3-5% as many people crushing the game as there was at the peak?
Really no time to waste these days either, why write a blog on 2+2 and get a bunch of condescending comments from droolers.
