YinYangS at 888 poker, let's crush em'!!

alright, so i tested the software first. played NL2 full ring to get a feel of the software.

initial impressions:

• software's ok. been used too much to Stars but it's fine. is it just me or is it that time bank's too fast?
• yeah, way more fishes. but found some good regs too.
• my HUD's working fine now. adjusted it so that i could perfectly play well with NL 6-max tomorrow.
• overall, i think it's gonna go well.

current BR: $110.13

woootttt!!! will start the real action tomorrow. ♦

ooh i can sense the excitement!
good luck in your new adventure!

Thoughts:

• more fishes, more donks, more maniacs, more variance
• There's no player search! i want to leave and re-enter a table to have position vs the fish but i can't.
• haven't gotten used with the software yet. time bank's too fast. i keep finding myself sitting out. been playing only 4 tables so far.
• variance and luck, wooootttt. sigh
• my problem so far is that i'm too result-oriented. i keep checking how much i won or lost. my goal for now is to be decision oriented as possible, and of course win!!!

Current BR: $96.96

these hands look fine to me just keep grinding and results will come.

definitely more badbeats here with more fish. remember to just go for pure value and bet (even overbet) when u have the nutz :). at the start i also got sit out a ton. try less tabs and keep adding as you get used to it.

most important thing is not to tilt ♦

yup, thanks Wendy. i hope results will come soon though before i'm forced to move down the limits. wooot, ahahaha

but yeah, way more fishes. i happened to sit on a table where i labelled all 5 of them as fish. ahahaha

i found a nice quote earlier. i was in a jeep as i was going home earlier after riding my little brother to school, and i found this quote on the back of a man's t-shirt.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world and they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it.

Impossible is not a fact, it's an opinion.

Impossible is not a declaration, it's a dare.

Impossible is potential.

Impossible is temporary.

Impossible is nothing."

Prepping myself and my mindset for another session with the fishes tomorrow.

iron stomache glen! iron stomache! hehee

try to rake 100$ in a week. they let you in a 5,000$ freeroll. very people play and its soft ♦

I've played at 888 poker for around 4 months and can tell you, BIGGEST DONKEY INFESTED PLAYERS ON EARTH. Just play according to the starting hand chart poker strategy suggest and watch videos/articles and you will crush them like bugs. I've turned 60 into 1250 in 3 months on this site. I suggest you use a HUD, at least use Pokerstrategy Elephant, until you can afford Holdem Manager 2 microstakes . For me its a Major -EV if i touch online poker without one and personally wouldn't even dream of playing without it; especially since I 10 table. A huge beneficial suggestion for you, get Manycam program if you dont have a pc cameras. Play on the Cameras 6max tables, fishiest tables on 888 poker. Its almost free money rofl..

I remember on one of the other threads Alfincor1 (I think) said the cam tables are incredibly soft on 888, but I think he was talking about tourneys.
So, have fun
