5.4k for 2nd and first. Not sure how those boundy builderz work but op may have earned 1.5k+.

Took sum time in a few spotz but didnt hit the trigger. Prolly would of stealed blinds if he went all in. Bb may have folded.


Would not be suprised if Pileupcoins made this all up. Would much rather listen to ChanY recap.


im super confused its a mix between fiction and reality???????

What was the incident that caused the government to mandate anti-psychotic injections, and what steps are you taking to ensure it doesn't happen again?

don't listen to punt but read his username and punt like a meister and bink big.

If he is your friend don't you think you should be helping him improve his situation instead of encouraging a continuation of bad habits?


by MarkDavis

If he is your friend don't you think you should be helping him improve his situation instead of encouraging a continuation of bad habits?

He should play $11 and $5.50 mtts (no satties) with 2.5k if he is serious about MTT play. Put time in to study as well. playing $11 satties its just -ev.

He should also consider if he's plus ev in those mtts and consider even playing at all if he doesn't know where he can improve so he is +EV.

Really he's gambling degening with the worst of it playing $215 mtts and finishing 8th for a grand or so. He just ran good in a single mtt. Most of the time he won't cash even the best in the world in $215s ain't cashing a majority of the time in that mtt and even if a crusher in high stakes aint cashing a majority of the time in a $1 mtt.

Satties are -ev fullstop in a majority of cases and shouldn't even be played if hes going to get serious about mtt play.

if hes going to play cash instead which is what he should be doing if he wants to be a pro and not play any mtts at all he will want to play 50NL but should play 25NL or lower instead to see if hes a winner.


by MarkDavis

he should put away 2.4k for savings and play 2nl with $100 and get a full time job. mtts are for losers. some tables he should leave the table even at 2nl to find fishes.


The only advice punt big punt often bink big bink.often. thats how winning is done.

what the hell are you smoking?

Why would satelites be -ev?

I really dont know what your deal is. I mean you seem to give bad advice to a guy with an obvious gambling problem and other psychological issues for your own amusement.

So you are terrible person.

But when it comes to poker and what one should play i think you are not intentionally giving terrible advice you just dont know wnay better.

What is whole thing about?

satalites are -ev. 1 they favor the house with more rake (satalite rake + target mtt rake). adds ton of variance to game which has huge varience to start with. (MTTs). if they are hypers satties roi is tiny if any roi at all.

He should only maybe play satties if he is bankrolled for the target mtt which he isnt. and then its probably just worth just playing the target mtts and not play satties.

Some satties on other sites have overlay so they might be worth playing. stars didn't when i played on there.

I reckon he's better off trying to bink big on a sunday on stars and then go and party. He should take that 2.5k be willing to lose the lot on a sunday in hopes of binking 10s or more thousands. Playing satties just dramatically decreases his chances of binking big and takes a few hours and brain power focus which could be directed at playing a $215 or $109.

He should prolly learn other skills like mindset and not be so upset if he busts all his money. Just accept that losing the money is most probably going to happen and if he binks big thats a bonus. Be grateful for everything (He had a chance to play in big mtts) and tell everyone he had lots of fun.

That's what poker is about. Having fun.

He hasn't posted so maybe this is what hes going to do but he will prolly play satties as well on a sunday grind. BINK BIG!

Really he should be playing $10 mtts and aim to win $2 every mtt he plays. But a desire to get rich quick greed just leaves him with nothing. play 20 a day and make $40 a day and play 6 days a week earning $240. with all the variance as well and playing against bots and players who are getting better at poker.

If he does this most likely he will be rolled for 33 avg buyin within a year and have a roll of 12k+. Earning $400 a week with a 10% roi if he plays the same amount of mtts.

If he worked at it he could be pro within a year possibly earning $1000 US a week. thats if he could play on mutiple sites.

The way he's currently doing it playing satties $215s hes hoping to just to bink big!


^ Wow. I think that was your first legit post. wp


Your logic about satellites is flawed when you say you pay rake twice.

It doesn't matter if you bink a 10$ tournament and take the winnings to higher stakes or bink a satelitte.

Satellites are also usually super soft. I am not sure if its a thing anymore but back in the day you could unregister from the target tournament for tournament dollars on stars.

The Sunday Storm and Sunday Million satellites were one of of not the best way to run up a roll from close to nothing because of how soft they were and the flat pay out structure.

The idea about double rake also really doesn't make sense. You have to look at the satellite and target mtt as separate tournaments. You play a 10$ and a 200$ mtt whether one of them is a satellite doesnt really matter.

I also dont get why you say he should just take a shot but that satellites are dumb. Satellites are a great vehicle for shot taking.

OP should quit all forms of gambling not try to run up his roll using one strategy or another. The end result will always be the same. Op will go broke no matter what.

Putting ideas about a big bink or turning pro in his head is just harmful.

Especially since your best case scenario is for him to grind out 1k a week.


When op wins the wsop main the women will call him sane.

When op wins the one drop he will become a true jock.

When op goes back to back to back in wsop main it will bring you great pain.

Bink big op. I also play mtts like op and dont care about money but just wanna big bink. This is done by losing losing losing until maybe binking.

Op have you got what it takes to just lose so much and maybe just maybe u bink? Its a hard road. Hes allready stated hes never quitting.

see u all in vegas for wsop. its going to be a great summer.


archie karas turned a 10k loan into 40 million in 1995. only to lose it all a year later. he then turned 40k into 1 million. won a additional 4 million then lost it all the next day. a few years later he turned $200 into $980,000. he also stated he doesn't value money.

a gambler like archie piles up coins quickly then loses them just as quick. Op is like that. its possible for him to turn $11 into 100k.


Putting ideas about a big bink or turning pro in his head is just harmful.

yes he should withdraw everything but $300 and play $1 mtts. not satties.


Roll at #1700 ish.
At max was like $3.3k.....

Lost like $850 rest i either paid back loans or i actually lend out to people Yeah.

Just took mushrooms lol 5g lmfso at my ex place Yeah

It doesn't matter if your bankroll is $1700, $15000, or $0. You're a gambling addict with no bankroll management and zero poker skills. Ultimately, you'll always be broke after a short time. As long as you don't give up poker, your life will always be miserable.
