Cards Poker (Texas Hold'em)

Not really a fan of online poker but I can see the attraction.

We have dedicated poker machines in work and they get played all the time in any office I work in (I work in a bookmakers).
 
Lately I hate it as I’m not that fkn good at poker and have not taken down a tournament in over a year.. plenty of sit and go’s but not a single T
 
If your interested in getting good at poker i can help with technical side. Not so good at mental game. But i am winning at nlh 6 max cash games up to 1knl and have over $1 million in cashes at mtts

Im now old and slowly transitioning out of the game. If anyone wants to hit up about theory/solver or exploitative play then just dm me and maybe we can swap discords and skypes.

Gl to all future kids looking for finacial freedom..

I hope you get it as the games online are increasingly becoming harder with solvers and rta use.

Still mtts some $ to be won and live poker will always be soft though ofc getting volume in the latter is impossible to get a decent sample of games
Solvers have really changed the game. A lot more emphasis on GTO these days.

You are right... need to take GTO train to beat certain stakes, now mostly, and certain villians, that really sucks, at least for me... specially becouse ppl can use RTA, just needs two computers... even one computer and a cellphone that sucks, is dismotivating to learn how to apply GTO without RTA, sucks sucks sucks....
 
yes i was playing at party last night, but "my room" is Red Star Poker, Betfair was my iPoker client provider but they suck my dick and autoexcluded me 6 months wtf...
that caused even that i cant open an acc at other casinos like william hill, then tried Red Star and its very good one, little lower rb and less promos, but deposit withdraw via luxon its instant and they have real humans at support, not like betfair, pieces of sht copy pasting scripts without helping any, )

I havent played live since the last casino offering poekr tables closed when corona started january feb 2020. Online even with much harder players its better for my budget, play live a,ways come with few beers, transoprt, food, and the time is limited cuz is just one table and is very slow compared via softare.

Do u play locally or online Buzz?
 
I played online for a bit but I was just practicing and people kept making outrageous moves and it got too annoying. I did ok I thought. It's a cool game but Scrabble is better lol 🤓

I don't really play, poker is hard...
I followed the poker world for a while, watching some events/match-ups etc (hence the linked podcast), it's a great game and I love trying to figure out why certain players made certain plays but I can't really apply that to my own game.
 
I find myself more effective as a bonus whore than a regular player, at one point, the poker really get boring, and if i dont play only one day, i will desire to play a match, but after that, im done, i have played so much before, and my main incomes got me occuppied all day, and at the night... a beer and few hits of meth, a pot/tobacco with fruity filter... its my wish all the day, but after few matches, i find myself very bored, i havent played a tournament in months, but i daily make deposits to partypoker (as an example) or redstar, becouse of the actual promos, i can win between 5-25 usd in an hour just cuz the actual wheel pp promo, and sometimes get a big win in the lottery at redstar, etc etc without get very bored.

Its strange, i just want to get the hour of the daily promos available to be a whore and approach all of them, then ending bored of playing and empty TxT until i play csgo and its opposite as bored, after one hour it becomes bored too and im reading or betting stupid sht becouse im alone and dont give a f about have friends, im old enough to know what they mean and even how the fam can fuck with anyone just becouse egocentric beliefs.

I want to be with a girl again, i was sad before, but come on, its misserable to be depressed cuz a bitch or a fool, so, im very happy alone, but, sometimes bored, poker was my medicine for boredom... no more TxT, at least i love to read and learn any thing (yes, any... lol), and at least i feel that love to education will never go, its the most addictive and comfortable thing to do when its the right time.

I can list from worse to best casino IMO, but im not getting extra rakeback or anything from them, so im not going to workfor their.

Just want to mention, all the GGNetwork its a AVOID, yes, its fun, nice MTT schedule, but... it have a shady behaivour, and strange overall results, the winning (high stakes/ammounts) players are aprox. 1 for each 9 in rest of rooms, and this i cantfind any logical reason, so, im not there anymore.

PS and PP are the most safe and they are nice, but, IME, are the 2 rooms most full of regulars, so, be sure you are a good player, when you play hundreds of games with some regs, etc., the game isnt anymore "harder" than other rooms, but starting can be hard, and i recommend to startat the hardest room, PS, with the min. bet, just bet cents until you star to crush the tables.
 
So after a huge.. huge losing streak.. think in years.. I just took down 5 firsts and a second off 8 tournaments.. but I just battled over three hours and placed 12th.. outa the fkn money.. god damn it.. the thing with poker is its to much like work.

Exactly, i was sick when was playing +8hours daily, studying my hands... i really HATE poker at a point that i left my desire of have nice winnings from poker, plus, poker natural variance, must need extra high salary, becouse the most rentable ways of game, like MTT, are naturally high variance, and you cant deposit your health and economy wellness in variance if you dont have a BIG BANK and consistent discipline with the money.

I havent played a MTT like 5 months ago, well, i have played like 1-2 each month, i remember to have 1st and 3rd places "important ones" between last 350 tourneys, i havent see my graphs, and right now im going down in sharkscope, becouse im playing more recreationally, and in my case i sit in cash tables and less than 1 hour is enough, maybe i can play 2-3 turbo 9max SNG aprox. 45 each, and i will end bored and isnt appealing to register again, until next day maybe.

I know how it sucks when you are hours in a mid to big tourney, and you get kicked in the bubble, or even far from the bubble but you have invested 3 hours of emotional and mental continuous process motivated by win the money, no one cares a sht about be the first place or get a nice pop up ending the tournament, everyone is dreaming and doing what theyr doing for the money, i guess, and thats exhaustive, but ye, in moderation is lovely, nowadays, try to live from the poker would be sick.
 
I played poker a lot and even participated in PokerStars tournaments, I love playing poker, and I think that poker is very similar to chess, but in place of a gaming board, you have a table with 6+ people. Choosing the most efficient strategy that will fit you is very difficult and sometime may take a huge amount of your time. Personally, I was too impatient while playing poker and was always losing to more patient players. In order to practice my patience, I started playing an Indian game called Satta, which helped me a lot. I strictly recommend to anyone who wants to improve his poker skills to play this Satta king game.

100% Agree with this, I have been playing quite a bit over the last 4 weeks (Poker not Chess as I've given Chess a rest for a bit) & I had this same concept come to my mind.

Always a sign they really don't know what they are doing in my opinion.
You ever watch someone & get to see the flop take note of their betting habits, it's always a Novice who thinks having a pocket Jack & a Jack comes on the flop is a good hand. I've seen people get so excited with a pair of Jacks (one in the pocket & one on the flop)
I'd toss away a pair like that just as fast as I would if I had 2 of Hearts & King of Spades & the whole Flop was all a straight run from 5 up.
