Started with a $1/$2nl challenge, now we're here.

lol starving yourself to lose weight… you just have to change and build better dietary habits

2 hands I wanna discuss.
Lm pull over annd park and twist one up and I’ll b back.
Poker sessions will come down to couple hands that make or break. Did poorly in one spot and other hand felt gd about the decision but wanted to see ur thoughts.

Hand one.
1/3. A limp utg and a couple more limps in lj hj. I make it $15 (1900) w AK suited hearts in the sb. An aggressive bb makes it $40 (1500). Then the tight but creative player in utg limp/4 to $140 ($800). Folds around to me. Do I 5! to $400? Shd I call? Fold?

All 3 crossed my mind. Said the best player in the world doesn’t need to b flipping for big $ in these games. I’m flipping or crushed. If I hit a King or Ace on the flop, I still wdnt love it.
Mini tank Folded.
*after 15min delay of stream, I see he has QQ. Trust me, that is the very bottom of his 4b range here.

It's embarrassing how many weak people are on here trying to give Ray bad advice. Crabs in a bucket mentality, I swear. Y'all fatties need to learn from people who are healthy how to do things right and shut the hell up when you don't know what you're talking about. You guys are seriously acting as though Ray is pushing himself so hard he's at risk of Rhabdomyolysis or something. He's not even close to pushing himself to a level that he could hurt himself.

Your blackjack analogy is bad. Firstly because you can just use the actual way blackjack insurance works if you wanted to, not your convoluted example. When Ray dies does insurance give his kids another father? No. Money will never replace a parent. You know what his kids are going to need no matter how much money they have? A parent or two. They're not going to be orphans because they don't have money, this isn't Oliver Twist. My father died when I was 13, I didn't receive any of his life insurance, they didn't pay. A pile of money could have never replaced my dad, I turned out fine. It's a bad bet for Ray, especially with him taking his health seriously at this point. Take the insurance premiums and buy gold with it. When Ray is alive in 40 years his family will be much happier he gambled that he would live and not die.

Life insurance is a bet that you will die young. I'd never bet on that.

Starving himself will build better dietary habits. You think that won't affect his diet habits? You think he's going to eat worse because he fasts for long periods of time? What harm do you actually think he's causing himself by fasting?

Do you realize that fasting has amazing health benefits or are you really that ignorant to how the human body works? That would be an astounding level of ignorance...

I play pretty nitty with AK generally and don't mind folding preflop here. Everyone is going to tell you to raise bigger preflop by the way, it's that obvious ($20-$25).

Hand 2.
Middle of sesh and little card dead. My big hands wd b getting beat to runner runner flush boards. Dudes just binking rivers left and right on me. I take it all this unluckiness off the chin, but also do laugh a bit to myself.
During those moments, I’m wondering if all this was designed by the Gods. Were these poker setups programmed specifically for me? Am I getting punished not being myself lately?
Been on the very low spectrum bipolarness lately. Short fuse where I’m not playing peoples’ games anymore. Maybe this goes back to 24hr ban where floorman Chris gave me the boot. The dude clearly sees me for 5mins at the desk prior to the 9a opening the room. He hates me, I don’t care for him. Tons of history there. He’s the type that will stick that chest out. U know the proud domineering arrorgant authoritarian type. Total dick guy. Well I'm not bowing down to that guy. He’s sees me, so check me in. I’m right here waiting u to acknowledge me. 2 feet away. I stand for 5 mins right at the desk! I walk off. Horrible customer service. I’m not playing dudes games. So grab some bottle waters. He sees me more when I put those waters on the first morning table soon to open. He sees me, it’s obvious, but intentionally ignores me. Long story short, didn’t check me in. No first table. Now wants me to wait 90monutes for the second table to open. We exchanged words. Called him a dick. Tell him he has always been to me. Said **** you as I pick my waters off the table. He says, Rayz and finger waves me over to him like I’m his kid. Said, “**** you, I don’t need to come to u. You’re not fingering waving me over.”
*Weened off the mental meds week ago and perhaps the fuse is very short. No chill anymore in 24. I’ll b the first to say, I clearly feel different, on edge, confused, moody. Maybe it’s the no mental meds, mayb no sleep, maybe no food. But none that **** really matters. I know when I’m right. He deserved all the ****s he received from me. No regrets.
Same dude who told a player he couldnÂ’t eat an olive from his Bloody Mary lmao in the poker room. Like I said, he wants everyone to bow down to him. I bow down to no one.
Was there a hand 2 to discuss?…

Hand 2…
I hv AK clubs this time. If remember correctly…another AK suited in sb.
The dude the 4bet in hand 1 is straddling $6 utg. A raise to $15 in middle followed by a call from hj. I make it $55 (1600). Same aggressive player in bb makes $125. Folds to me. Seems super strong to cold 4 in bb, so flat.

Hu pot $280
Flop KhJs5c
Ch ch

Turn 4h
Ch call $150

Pot $580
River 8h
This shd clearly b a check, call. But, the Gods twisted my brain up and for some reason I bet $300. I felt in the moment it was pure value bet, and hoping to get heroed w QQ. That was the exact hand I put him on and that was the reason for the bet.
So I bet $300, he tank shoves. Another $1,100 to call. Call or fold? Full hizzies and flushes are there.
As played he has to hv Jacks full right?

It was KsJh2h on flop 8s turn and 8h river.

How?

The board is KJ548 according to you. Full house isn't possible.

if you know his exact range then you don't need to ask what to do. you're the best player in the world, remember? seriously, why are you asking this?

no full house is available so i'm guessing you reported the HH incorrectly. was the turn actually a 5h perhaps?

2nd hand is 3:17 mark

I’m interested in others thoughts

I think you played it perfectly, like a best player in the world always would

curious that you can't even remember the action or what the board was though

I do this all time w hh.
Always write wrong down.

@mls realtor is right. I was trying to remember the board. Knew flush was there and full houses. But didn’t know exact. Misclicked and my board shd hv showed another 8 ball.
My bad. I was on DG parking lot breaking. That’s my excuse.

@mlsrealtor is correct.
It was KsJh2h on flop 8s turn and 8h river.

Total pwnage.

The only good thing about the hand was the 3bet pre-flop. After that, the rest of the hand is a pure mess.

As played, river seems like an easy check call spot depending on bet sizing.

did you give a shoutout to the milk bros?

this is not at all what actually happened

at this point I don't think any hand that you post for review could be trusted

Did you stop taking your mental health meds to save money? Like how you have to use a gym at some hotel you aren't a guest at because you can't afford a gym membership?

I watched a lot of the stream. The game looks like it is great to be in, not a single shark in it. Your statement that your sessions hinge on one or two hands is because you haven't put in any time learning how to play well when you don't have premiums. Limping 99 isn't good. A lot of the other plays made aren't good. Leading your AK otr isn't good.

The sickest ridiculousnees by the Gods last night came when the poker room got pizza for all the players and I had to watch everyone eat.

Clearly, a ch.call. I like how I played the hand up to that point and wd hv gotten the max after @mlsrealtor bombs river bluff. Was almost there, but last second just nailed him down to QQ and went for value. Didn’t want it to go ch/ch. W board texture tho, easy ch/call shd hv been the play.

I’m trying to remember these hands the next morning and not looking at any playbacks on Utube. U can tell everyone what the exact hand was. I’m just going w generalities and more concerned bout the spot.

Do u always post because u want me to answer these questions? Or do u posts to always see the bad in everything?

Come join the game any time. U all are welcome.
I’ll answer… Stopped taking the meds because I feel it isn’t something that even works for bipolar. Lexapro more geared toward depression/anxiety. Plus I feel meds r progrands bs and mayb not worth taking at all. There u go.
If u want bitch like a little bitch bout a fitness center that no one ever uses in the hotel then bitch on. I’ll continue to use it without any concern what others thinks.

what do you mean by "trying to remember"? does your brain not work?

if you're concerned about the spot why do you consistently get positions and action wrong? how do you expect to get correct advice if it's based on the wrong information?

hint: no one limp reraised in this hand

care to comment on AK vs JT hand?

Mayb he cold 4b instead of limp/4 either way it’s a spot for me vs this particular player.
Care to quit beating around the bush and say what u really wanna say?
Can’t recall AK J10 hand. My body has been out of whack lately. Refresh my memory if u want.

Point is, I’ll play anyone in nlhe ring (in stakes I can afford), and always consider myself a favorite.

You do a lot of bad things. Constructive criticism is ignored because you know best. Medical professionals are ignored because you know best. Randomized controlled trial evidence on medicine efficacy is ignored because you know best.

I don't think anyone is scared to sit down and play with you at the lowest possible stakes offered at a casino. It isn't worth my time to play live low stakes nl, but it may be worth it to witness the best.

@nio what stakes do they play in ur mom’s basement?

Next question, what’s is ur username gonna b next? @mana or @xlm @pypl-is-the-one?

#3 biggest fan and moving his way up.
