Make Poker Great Again
Hey everyone,
My name is Matt I am 24 years old from Canada. My goal is to document my journey from mid stakes to high st
oh I'm literally the person who caught him cheating fyi. I trolled him into posting his graph in discord and he posted a datamined hand sample and quickly deleted it after 5-10 seconds but not before I took the screenshot and gave it to people who reported him. datamining's bad but way more worse cheaters in Ontario then him tbh. The good cheats dont get caught :(I only play
That's a bold statement. What kind of cheating are we talking about and what do you have to back up that claim?
Well there's lots of cheating going on its poker in 2024 the sites have proven to us countless time they don't take security that seriously especially gg . If I had concrete proof I would tell people its hard to have concrete proof but we are pretty sure there are lots of euro players playing on the Ontario sites especially gg poker. We can be pretty sure they are from Europe because they play during euro hours and no one in Ontario knows them poker players beating nl500 generally don't come from no where without at least playing lower stakes first. most people who play poker seriously in Ontario know each other its a pretty small place were even all in a discord together. There was also the prop player/bot ring on wsop.ca that finally shut down you must have heard me rant about if not see my recent thread starts.
July Update
Well, I got some EV back. It was a strange month where I actually won on GG and lost on PokerStars. This might be a first for both this year haha.
Unfortunately, my main event lasted only 3 levels. Vegas was a good time as usual, even though I was down in cash as well.
All Sites:
PokerStars:
Party:
GG:
Total was +$4673.94 + $10839.81 ($9889.81 GG $750 PS $200 Party) = +$15513.75
I was thinking about making some videos or streaming again, so I ran a poll on my channel. I was hoping MTTs would win, but people want PLO. Really? 😃
Curious what you mean by ROW in this post? I wasn't aware of any upcoming changes.
Halfway through the year, it's a bit disappointing. It's tough because if I ran at EV, it would be slightly better than last year, especially at 1k. Hopefully, things will turn around soon, and I can end the year strong, ideally before we potentially go back to ROW. Rumors suggest it could be sometime in early 2025 after a November vote. A GG BJJ would help too. Hopefully, it starts with the main event next week!
August Update
Back to normal... lose before rakeback on GG and win on Party and PokerStars 😃
All Sites:
PokerStars:
Party:
GG:
Total was +$12202.77 + $12322.20 ($11322.20 GG $750 PS $250 Party) = +$24524.97
September Update
Not the best month after a good one last month, but still a win. I also had a good score in an Ontario COOP event, and I went to a Colts game again.
I had to laugh in the Ontario Discord someone thought GG was my most profitable site. Not even close!
All Sites:
PokerStars:
Party:
GG:
Total was -$6091.37 + $12,909.36 ($11959.36 GG $750 PS $200 Party) = +$6817.99 (Not including the MTT's)
October is my birthday month, so I'm headed to Vegas again for a week. Looking forward to it! If anyone is there and wants to meet up, send me a message!
wdym your own data suggests you make more at gg then stars. you play 2x+ the volume on gg and you get 85% rb. if its wrong its not by much I dont care to deep dive. the miscommunication must be the fact you count bbj as rake and I don't. I think that's weird. I bet if you veiwed bbj the same or if you binked one we would have the same conclusion. I think if you made more on stars with less then half the volume its just run bad probably from not hitting a bad beat
With Flacco it was a functional offence haha. I have Pitt and Downs in another league. So frustrating...
October Update
One of these months, I will run above EV, lol.

GG:

Vegas was great! I had 13 friends and family down with me. Didn't get to play much poker, haha, but that’s okay. Can’t wait for next time.
If this is the last month of Ontario poker, let’s make it a good one!
Awesome consistency OP, terrific thread. Best of luck
Hey, how was the Vegas ? Tell us more !!
Fans crave it !!
Any photos and stories ?
I took Matt's Monthly Coaching Program and definitely recommending to everyone who's struggling as breakeven or losing reg on low/mid stakes.
It starts with database review (100k hands minimum), where Matt compares your stats to his gto solves.
Matt gives you notes on where you deviating most and how to fix it in games. Also prepares you GTO Wizard drills to everyday training.
With clear heuristics you follow and play on tables and every week you record one hour session with your live commentary so Matt can analyze your thought process and give you his feedback with notes.
Through whole month Matt is available on discord and answers all your questions and every week you talk for one hour over live call about topics you want or Matt prepares.
You also get Matt's recording with his live play so you can see how he plays what he teach.
At the end of the month you have another database review to see your progress.
For me, month is ideal time window to construct the right questions as you have enough time to think about it and try everything you learn on the tables and solvers.
Big thanks to Matt, nice guy and really helpful. Looking forward for future collaboration.
GL on tables.
November Update
Rough month. Hopefully, Ontario delay's their decision awhile longer so I can make it back! 😆

December Update
Finished the year strong with a nice bounce back before heading to Florida for the holidays.

Total: +$4,616.72 + $13,095.17 ($12,195.17 GG, $750 PS, $150 Party) = +$17,711.89
Here are my overall results for 2024, sorted by site:
I’m planning to do a recap video on YouTube where I’ll share more of my thoughts on the year. It’s tough to set too many plans and goals given the uncertainty with ROW, but I hope to have that video done in a week or so now that I’m back home.
Here’s to a successful 2025!
followed and good luck for 2025
January Update
It finally happened...I hit a BBJ!
For those wondering how many hands I've played on GG over my lifetime and whether I'm above or below BBJ EV…
Not to complain too much since I see BBJ as just free money and not part of my EV, but even after hitting it, I’m still down quite a bit in EV.
All Sites:
PokerStars:
Party:
GG:
Total: -$4,084.94 + $42,828.99 ($42,268.99 GG, $500 PS, $60 Party) = +$38,744.05
It’s pretty funny that right after hitting the BBJ, my graph on GG went straight down again.
I did manage to cut back on volume a bit, but I didn’t follow through on creating content. I still have a few videos in mind that I want to put out, so that’s the main goal for this month.
Let’s run well in February too! 🚀
February Update
Rough end to the month, but otherwise, I can't complain.
All Sites:
PokerStars:
Party:
GG:
Total: -$6,195.21 + $10,160.44 ($9,310.44 GG, $750 PS, $100 Party) = +$16,355.65
I will be in Vegas at the end of the month. If anyone is down there and wants to meet up, feel free to send me a message.
Let’s make some money for the craps tables! 🚀
You dont play tournaments? id like to see you play and your opinion on the supposed "crushers" ive played with them and they are mid... basic nits pretty much.
Its very suspicious to me... people up hundreds of thousands playing like basic nits with 17 vpip.. ive played with the supposed best ontario tourney players on GG and they are ok?
Im pretty sure their are some house accounts on GG ontario.... These guys just run way to well and somehow get big stacks when they never bluff and play like basic nits? I just dont get it
March Update
Sorry for the late update like I mentioned, I was in Vegas.
Believe it or not... we hit another BBJ!
All Sites:
PokerStars:
Party:
GG:
Total: -$12566.68 + $50161.64 ($48911.64 GG, $1000 PS, $250 Party) = +$37594.96
It was a bit of a rough up and down month (BBJ win aside), but that’s how it goes sometimes. Excited to be back and finally playing more than one table again haha.
Back to the grind we go!
Congraz for two bbj's!
How much is your BBJ fee in HEM from GG ?
