I had just a few minutes to book all my basketball bets earlier tonight so I was inputting everything really fast. I then realized that I made a huge misclick. My normal bet size is $400 and when betting the moneyline, I stake $400 on the favorite and I bet to profit $400 on the underdog. I meant to bet on the wizards to profit $400 which at roughly +1000 means that I would risk $40. Instead of inputting $400 in the profit box, I put it in the stake box and I confirmed the bet quickly without even noticing. By the time I realized my mistake, my full bet was already matched. It was the first time I've ever made a mistake like this. FUCK!
except my man caron butler went fucking nuts and scored 29 points in the second half and hit a huge fall away 20 footer with .5 seconds left to give me the victory! So while I meant to bet $40 to win $400, my misclick meant that I actually bet $400 to win $4000. SHIP IT!
Would anyone be willing to help me clear my 100% bonus for 600$, i have basicly no points toward it, and realized im not going to have the time to play to clear it. So if anyone wants to clear it for me n take half I would much appreciate it.
A few question for you live grinders out there I live in Henderson, NV and been playing online poker for a few years I just turned 21 and wanted to know if you guys had any advice or tips for me because I want to start playing live my questions:
What would be a good bankroll for 1/2 or 2/5?
What casinos would be the best to play at?
Which days are the best to play there?
Dallas Trip - Start of Baseballby TheTank, February 05
Tomorrow is the beginning of a new season. I am the #1 pitcher right now at my school, and am probably at the highest my career has ever been at. Our first game is near my home town, so all my family gets to watch me play. I couldn't be any happier right now. Everything is going well, even poker! I'm very blessed right now to be in the position that i am in.
Is AK the nuts preflop? Why? by Mikae, February 05
As I hail from the micro limit of poker, I don't understand why people think AK is the nuts preflop?
My friend said it was partly because of the fold equity you get if you jam it over a 4 bet or 4 bet it. Secondly, we're not exactly crushed unless we get it in against AA. Against KK, you still have ~30% equity so "its just like a coin toss!"
This doesn't click for me because noone folds to a jam in the micros after they 4 bet. So if there is no fold equity involved, do you still like to get it all in pre?
after looking at some HU sng variance numbers i can only really draw the conclusion that i'm currently a losing player on a losing streak..
i'm posting hands and reviewing my decisions a lot right now. i will try to post some hands where im sure of my decisions just to see if i should be so sure and ofcourse keep posting hands that give me difficulties.
i slept really bad last night. it's not the money i lost, cause i lost much larger amounts in short periods. it's not the time i have been losing as timewise i have only been losing for about 8 hours straight.
it's the fear i am a losing player in this format that keeps me awake. i hate being the fish.
i do have a strong feeling that i wasn't always a losing player, this trend is also resembled in the graph. it could be that i'm 2 tabling a lot more right now and that this is hurting me really bad. maybe i went on autopilot too much.
I just started grinding some 10+1 9 man sng's and was unsure about some shove/fold spots as im a SNG n00b. Help me out LP.

Lost almost 20BI past 40k hands or so at NL50.
Moving down to NL25 and will probably sacrifice February for my SN holiday month.
On the other hand today I am *really* starting to work on my health and life quality today properly(I was ill Monday - Thursday). I put a great deal of work into mindfulness and breathing techniques over the past two months, but that needs to be supported by nutrition, goal setting, exercise and relationships for me to to win at the game of life (i.e. do whatever I am doing to my maximum potential).
1) had another good session today, think i'm actually playing much better.
2) although i'm not close to playing nl 100; sorta confused at how better players move up. i feel as though everyone has the game figured. i guess in order to beat nl 50 all you really have to do is perfect v-betting and throw in an occasional bluff.
3) all regs should run below ev. if there exists regs and fish. if all regs are of equal skill (obv not true) then ev against all regs is 0 (ignore rake). therefore all money is won from fish. where the reg will in general always have the better cards, and will never put money in a spot where they are behind. therefore regs only engage in +ev spots against fish which only makes it impossible for a reg to suck out.
4) bah pretty uninteresting stuff.
