By my tracker, it was only one time I saw flop not from blinds with that hand.


Just keep learning, re-read articles(if you haven't done recently), watch more videos and don't think about $ won/lost. Only playing good matters

I did read all articles, passed all quizes, it was was really easy, allmost everywhere I got 90% or 100%. There are not many videos on how to play on these stakes, and let's say, even TwiceT's 10$ BI is really different game.

I will see what I can do, will try to play my best game. Will post in a week again to say how am I going.


ok, I quit poker, maybe I will come back when I will have bankroll on FTP or Pokerstars. bye everyone


lol, what happened? Busto?

Videos are important, even if it's higher limit ;)

no, finished today with profit(if I can call that 0.5$), I have only 3BI bankroll so it's kinda scary to play now, I don't know, maybe I will invite friends and when I will get 50$ I will deposit it on my FTP, I am not interested in titan poker, at least not with that bankroll.

and I need to take a break, don't know, I am sure I will come back on summer, till then I will play freerolls, can't wait for january's freeroll callendar.

Yeah, you need program, I use poker tracker 3, you can download trial for 60 days or buy, but it is not worth if you play at micros.

this program shows information of players based on hand history on tables, it is usefull.


okay, so I look at this,

iPoker - $0.04 NL - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 3

BTN: $3.88
Hero (SB): $4.78
BB: $1.74
UTG: $1.84
CO: $5.02

Hero posts SB $0.02, BB posts BB $0.04

Pre Flop: ($0.06) Hero has 3♠ 5♠

fold, fold, BTN raises to $0.12, Hero calls $0.10, BB calls $0.08

Flop: ($0.36, 3 players) 3♣ 4♣ 3♥
Hero checks, BB checks, BTN bets $0.27, Hero raises to $0.54, fold, BTN calls $0.27

Turn: ($1.44, 2 players) 4♥
Hero bets $0.72, BTN raises to $2.70, Hero raises to $4.12, BTN calls $0.52

River: ($7.88, 2 players) 7♦

BTN shows A♠ 4♦ (Full House, Fours full of Threes) (PreFlop 59%, Flop 9%, Turn 98%)
Hero shows 3♠ 5♠ (Full House, Threes full of Fours) (PreFlop 41%, Flop 91%, Turn 2%)
BTN wins $7.36
Hero wins $0.00

ofcourse he hits 4 on turn... that's cool...

Hero (BTN): $0.90
SB: $1.62

River: ($1.84, 2 players) A♥

SB shows T♠ J♠ (Straight, Ace High) (PreFlop 100%, Flop 100%, Turn 100%)
SB wins $1.72

yeah right, he hits straight on river, yeah I know I was beat anyway, but how the hell he calls that??

I quit titan poker...

I was doing well with preflop raises, 3bets, postflop bluffs, but yeah, can't win single showdown, so how should I make profit without that?


Never, unless you change your mindset


just said I was going to quit poker and bust my bonus on titan poker.

picking such crappy starting hands is obviously going to lead you into positions where you hit the flop but still end up with the worst hand especially at these small limits. The only excuse for opening 92 off suit is for all types of balancing, metagame mindf**k reasons that will not be appreciated on these levels!

Well this sure is a downswing when villans dominate you 100% preflop already

at PTR for 0.01/0.02 stakes my grades were Fs... I moved up to 0.02/0.04 now I got a B... improve your game and play stakes where people arent bingo idiots who get lucky all the time... but seriously, adjust your game... play your tightest game possible and have patience.

Well after posting those hands i really doubt your on a downswing. The way your playing a winrate of -20bb should be standard for you lol.


Hey. Dont get discouraged ! I mean , keep learning , play tighter . I think its better to play in FR than SH in this beggining stages of poker . I think you are focussed on winnings and not on improving your game , and maybe thats why you are playing too loose. And , 11000 hands is not that much , this is a short loosing streak . I know for sure that if you keep learning and playing , things will get better very soon .
Best wishes !!! :)
