2023-2024-2025-2026 NC/LC THREAD
once more do we meet in this place!
They had 20 running last time I was up there for work in March. I don’t really recall whether they were running anything bigger.
Well been a long time .
I need a refresh …
How u cope with it ?
In less then a month online , I am in here a 200 BB downswing .
I’m rereading book again.
Rewatching even one basic video .
Im wondering how in the hell i have become such a bad player while ALL the other seem extremely good/lucky with trash hand and lagtard….
I went extremely low stakes .
I even went NL tourney and keep getting fack over 3 outs all in pf over 50% of the time .
In limit it’s non stop runner runner or 3-4 outs hitting half the time .
I’m becoming passif since I just know my hand won’t hold up .
ideas of rigged site and make me loose on purpose to level the field start creeping in my mind ( I know it’s BS but you know the feeling ) ….
The last time I felt like this was like 2-3 years ago but it’s getting ridiculous now .
Every one hitting non sense …
Fwiw my last hand today , I decide to play a Ko NL tourney for fun and relaxing (and maybe get lucky for once ..)
Near bubble territory.
UTG (13BB) goes all in
HERO (UTG+2) (32BB ) I go all in
MP(vilain) (31BB) goes all in ( saw him couple time go all in with no one calling, so I was confident .
Of course KK5T X (w.e card) hit
UTG AA
Hero QQ
Vilain AK
I’m thinking about quitting while ahead , so fed up ….
I just want to be in a good place mentally while playing and I just can’t anymore ….
Ps: I don’t care losing hands but I do care losing all my stack vs everyone nonstop without a break tho .
Pps: good luck at the table everyone ..
I think I have a 200 BB downswing every month. a 300 BB downswing at least once every 1.5 month. Every year I go through a 2-3 month break even stretch. Downswing are great it tells me that it time to re work on my game, why ask would I study if I were on a forever upswing. Also most people leaks in situation they have no idea they should be working on. Instead they focus on sexy hands like top 10% hand pre or +TP post flop every one get these and it not that profitable to focus on.

Do you play mostly online? Or is it a mix of live/online? About how many hands/month? I am trying to figure out my variance swings and put them in perspective.

It really sucks sometimes
It really sucks sometimes
dang that's a spicy one
i'm a big fan of the week off @montrealcorp
Yeah thx .
Seem a good idea .
Games at Commerce are so good last week I lost two racks in my first down in the 20, get called to 40 and lost 3 more racks in first hour. Made adjustments and a few hours later was down another two racks, so bleeding was slowing. Eventually by 4 AM I won a rack back and took it as a psychological victory and went home before they could get me again.
But they still got me once more, wasn’t till the end of a two day drive before I realized they had given me COVID.

standard commerce swings o7
Played a pot with 59 small bets in it by end of flop betting. Ended up being $3000 total, in a 40/80 game. And no, not a kill pot, and I finished in second place with QT on T high flop vs AT & AT.
LHE isn’t dead yet.

Commerce 40. Asian woman opens, LAG who posted CO calls, I 3bet ATs, BB calls, others call. Flop 972 checked around. Turn T, opener bets CO raises I 3bet. BB and opener fold, CO 4bets, I call. River 2 CO bets, I call, CO insta-mucks.
Despite this hand, I somehow did not win money that day.
No, but I’ll give a description. 8 handed. Straddle, raise, call, call, I call QThh, button 3 bet, SB somehow folds, BB 4 bet, straddler caps (83s in his range) all call. 35 bets to T63 flop one heart. I call a bet, then it comes back three bet with only one fold and I’m not good enough to fold vs this lineup, capped six ways. Turn was a low heart so I call one bet and so does everyone else. River bricked (low card) and it’s checked through.
Shockingly no one could make a straight out of all these low semi connected cards or even two pair so the two ATs held up.
Pretty sure you have direct odds on the flop to draw to backdoor hearts without even considering your two pair outs

How is the word “fold” something that could even cross our mind at this point? We are pretty much married to showing down here unless something insane happens.

Yea, I might be playing too tight post flop in multiway hands.
Edit: And too passive.
Ok here's a brag:

Congratulations again,
My son had been tugging my sleeve to watch the Main Event live since our youtube and tik tok algorithm sends all the pokergo feeds to our home pages - but being an online penny stakes grinder since having kids, I was like - meh - ok - so we turned it on and they announced the sweepstakes so I figured what the heck ...
I feel like Charlie in the Chocolate Factory... I am actually quite speechless - really humbled. I am really going to have to work on being patient since for the last 10 years I have been multitabling, zoning and blitzing for like 20 minutes at a time when I get a break is going to be very challenging... I probably need to work on chilling more than tourney theory...
Good luck! Let us know what the $500 of merchandise is, should be amusing.
Just noticed, a year in anticipation for you.
Go to jakacoaching.com. Go directly to jakacoaching.com. Do not pass "Go"; do not collect $200.

Yeah ... the fellow who wrote the email is actually a commentator on PGO ... and I called and talked to him the next day ... so def legit.
What was totally weird is that I said a few weeks earlier around a campfire that the ME is actually a bucket list of mine...
