Thanks for the kind words man! Exactly my thougts :)

Came so close to shipping something today....played a 6max 26$ rush turbo tourney with a step 3 ticket I had somewhere hidden and ran deep. Busted 30th out of 1k players.

Was top10 with 50 players to go and lost one JJ vs A4 all in preflop that crippled me to around 1/2 average stack, and then shoved KTs (with around 12bb) sb vs bb and he woke up with AT, didn't improve so I'm out :)

Nice one for me, I don't play tourneys much even though I really like them. Still in the 3$ rush rebuy...500 out 3500 left. Have a 50bb stack so still playing concentrated :)

Wish me luck :)

Out in 157th in the 3$r....77 < AK, all in all, not a bad evening. Had loads of fun, really love playing MTTs, too bad I don't have the time to play only them :) But I'm gonna score big once soon. I know it....Tonight was close in the 6max rush one, but not close enough :)

Time for sleep, good nigh everyone :)

Hey Manu! Yeah, I'm thinking about playing some, especially those rush tourneys! But we'll see...it all depends on how much time I'll have at the time of the tournaments.

Playing just to get enough ftps to get silver status there and turn on a mtt occasionally! Playing some tonight...already itm in the 24+2$ turbo 20k gtd 6max rush tourney. Lets see if I can run deeper than the last one, would be awesome! Fingers crossed hope for the best :)

blinds 500/1k, 125 ante, have a 23k stack, just a little below average. So far so good, had one suckout where I lost some chips, that kicked me out of top20 in chips but still alive.

Back from a nice weekend vacation with my gf...played just to get 7 days of silver in rush week. Now back to grinding cash again. Giving mtts and sngs a little time off from me ;) Still at nl10, but in no rush to move up. Gave nl25 a few shots, went ok :) But still I don't think it's necessary to move there. Same leaks can be plugged where I play now.

But let's try to find a nice new year resolution thats poker related ♦

What he is trying to say is that although NL25 is full of fish too, there are more regs and you also have to start owning regs in order to climb a lot higher. Isn't that right, GRY?

You will surely find new leaks and maybe some are more important than your current ones.

I will, it's just that first time i got a hard beating, dropped 4 bis in like 200 hands and crawled back to nl10, made that back, started taking shots again and it went well :) I'm slowly moving up. Withdrew a part of the bankroll due to Christmas coming and all so when I grind it back to my comfort zone I'll go up again :)

And yeah, I'm a nit! At least BR wise ♦

Do that! I'm a nit, only raise KK+ ♦

Soooo, okay, after one unsuccessful shot at nl25 earlier, I recovered a bit and gave it another shot this week. But this time mixed it in with a bit of nl10. 3 tabled mostly sometimes with 1 nl25 and 2 n10 tables and the other way around if I was running hot ♦

So far so good, this week ended up a profitable one. Waiting to get some more BI's for nl25 so I can move up for good I hope. Maybe a new limit with a new year coming :) Sounds good to me.

I'm not really satisfied with my volume but had to drop some hours to RL obligations :) Hope I'll be able to make it in the next 2 weeks, should have plenty of free time.

Now off to get some lunch and than it's off to the city center to meet a friend and have some sausages and beer/cooked wine! :f_love: :f_love:

There are some hands I got lost in, need to review those today or tomorrow!

Hi there!

Yesterday I lost the biggest pot of my poker career so far...120$, deep on rush nl25, KK into AA...don't know, is it just the result that's affecting me or should I have really folded kings there...any advice?

No stats on villains,we were all early/mid positions one OR to 4x, guy left to him flats, i 3bet and the OR shoves for over 200bb with caller folding...I was thinking of folding, used my timebank and talked myself into calling. But not quite sure it was the right decision.

Oh well, that and the day before resulted in dropping quite a few buyins at nl25 so it's back to nl10 for a quick rebuild. Wish me luck :)

What range do you put him on when he shoves 200bb?

Find the answer to this, calculate your equity against this range and you have your answer whether to call or fold KK for 200bb.

Vs unknown UTG 4bet I think you can fold even for 100bb, especially in Rush Poker.

Sooo yeah...got buttfucked hard these last few days. Especially by the customs ofiicers in Croatia...Need to withdraw more than 100$ for some unexpected crap I have to pay on 60$ worth of merchandise...FML

Pokerwise is going fine.....even though i have to move back to nl10 and grind it all back from the start. Have around 30-35bi left atm. So it's last couple of months all over again :)

At least I got a second starting capital on WIlliam Hill and I'm using that these days to degen it up a bit by playing PLO :) Such a silly game ♦ Played a couple of sessions 2-tabling and b/e at the moment although i had a depressing moment yesterday where my internet connection failed while I needed to call 2 all ins (one with AA88 double suited, and another with middle set + nut flush draw)....timed out and made folds on both tables. Oh well, shit happens ♦

Long time no see guys!

So it's been a rough year poker wise....had to withdraw pretty much everything due to some unexpected RL issues. Didn't play at all for around 2 months. No internet and no time at all. Left myself a small ammount just to be able to play again. And it went horrible once i started playing again....

FT is rigged...♦ PERIOD! Rigged ♦ I'm close to busto, well, not busto, but I barely have enough to play RUSH NL5 comfortably. And considering how I've been running for the last month I should probably avoid playing at all...

My confidence is crushed, my BR is crushed, my determination and will to play and improve has sunk and it's hard to get back on track. Guess going down to nl2 and grinding it up slowly is for the best. Will see how it will work out.

I'm on a break from cash games for a few days, just playing those rush on demand tourneys and I hate them too. It's like every tourney is the same. Play smart, build up your stack and then lose KK<A2o, QQ<AK and AK<QQ to bust out around the bubble or to mincash. It was so much easier when those tournies were 135 ppl.

Meh, rant rant rant....it's all I do lately. Don't know what to do. I know I'm not a fish and I know I'm not crushing the tables. But it just hurts so much to be in the red after every session due to everyone hitting their 2-3 outers or outdrawing me.

If anyone is reading this, advice needed. What to do, how to handle it or just plain old comforting will do. :) Maybe I should try to find someone and make a coaching deal. Never really given it much thought but it might be a great thing to turn things around. Just need to think about everything for a while.

Cheers
