Okay, so about my Poker "Expenses" and how i did today on the tables (Bad day)
There is no way on gods green earth unless I am quite possibly the worst poker player on the planet, that I am going to lose 10-20 Buy-ins in a row. That is just the stupidest thing i have ever heard. If you do go on a losing streak like that you need to give up Poker I would strongly suggest. The most I can see happening is maybe two or three and even that is rare.
Today, unfortunately I did lose my buy-in. My aces got cracked by sevens All-In after the flop. (guy had quads on the flop, won a nice jackpot for it too)
Guy's I am not your average donkey who loses a buy in and then just goes on tilt and loses his entire roll lol. These are those young kids who just do not know how to control poker emotions and have proper BRM. I know all about BRM no need for the lesson. I am truly just that confident, in my skills and my abilities.
So you're suggesting Phil Ivey, Tom Dwan, and the best players in the world need to quit poker and should have quit a long time ago. And all the professional poker players and strong regs who have logged millions of
hands. Yes, millions. Because ALL of them have been on at least 15-20BI+ downswings, even 30+. This is due to variance, something you will not understand until it finally hits you. Trust me, I thought the EXACT same when I first started out. I was a 8-10bb/100 winner at 25NL, which is a solid winrate. Out of 30 nights had only two 4BI downswings, majority of the others winning, and some other breakeven/1-2BI downswings. Then I went on a 14BI downswing. Wow, the most you can see is a 2BI/3BI downswing, and that 2BI/3BI downswings are rare? It only takes a simple knowledge of probability to see that this is not even remotely true.
Fwiw getting AA all-in OTF for 100bb is generally a losing strategy. You're going to see sets, two pair so often, especially since live players are so passive. One pair hands for 100bb+ are
bluff-catchers, and yes that means AA. You might see combo draws, but only very good regulars and higher stakes player do that.
No, you are not aware of BRM. Who told you that you can have 10BI for poker, especially as a professional who plays for a living and has no other source of income? You're saying losing a
bankroll only happens to young kids who tilt and don't have proper BRM. Well, for one, tilt affects you pretty adversely too, and you don't have good control over your poker emotions either. You mentioned in that last hand you played in which you did not want to be stuck 1/6BI and then tilted off your stack. 1/6BI is nothing. And second, you do not have proper BRM.
Not trying to be rude, but you should probably be a little more humble. You're not anywhere as good as you think you are; you're on a sick heater at 1/3 live. 1/3 live is the equivalent of 5NL online. And your bankroll is at risk.
. I just got burned out and needed a break. Past 13k hands been winning at like 1.3bb/100 though.... Running way below EV but glad that at least I'm not on a downswing. Suck-out after suck-out in really big pots, and just been running into the top of people's ranges lately for the past 9k hands. Lost two 300bb pots back-to-back in like 10 minutes as 70% favorite, losing KK vs QQ and KK vs AQ AI preflop, etc. Hopefully better luck later on this week; a little busy with school atm.
