[Closed] I'm sick of losing. Starting from scratch.

Gday,

Nice introduction, I'm also in Melb.
Will be following your progress! ♦

Good luck

Today sure did suck.
With my last remaining 80cents I joined some 360 man sit and goes, buy in of 10cents.

You simply cant win at this. Go all in with Queens, and of course somebody calls with K7o. Of course his king hits.

I don't think I'll play this 10cent buy in thing much longer.
So for now I'm going to go and sit back, read up on some strategy and theory, and see what I can learn.

The thing you need to learn is not to go all-in with QQ ♦

I did have some good hands though which I trapped people with. Checking quads, to have somebody push all in on the river (blank).

But oh well. My 10k challenge begins next week and I've got some reading to do.

So I started my challenge today. A little bit later than I would've liked, but I had to adjust to the new computer I got this week.

I deposited some money on Partypoker, and played NL0.02/0.04
Current bankroll is at $133.67.

I didn't make too much money today, but you know; slow and steady wins the race.

I had some alright hands, made some stupid calls too actually.
This was the second hand I played.

Sheepmoose.

Actually that was a good call imo.

You have 8 OESD outs and prob 2 T's outs = 10 outs x 4 = 40% + 1 = 41% odds to win.

You call 3.72 to win 10.06 = 3.72/10.06 = 37% pot odds

I guess you're right, thanks.
I've seen from my own experience problems that can surface from calling or pushing all in without the stone cold nuts, I guess that's why I thought it was a bad call.

You got 33% Equity against QQ+.

Hey elky. I watched you play on the APPT the other night at the final table. How was it?

We get 38%+ chance to win vs KK+ hehe
KK+ is more probable here since he doesnt fear a bigger pair apparently.

I'm going to call it a day early today. I think it's time I get out of the house, and keep my bankroll safe for the afternoon.

Oh, and I also tried multi-tabling today! I did okay with it until I had hands on both tables. It's hard to call-bet-raise when you have a laptop and no mouse.

Down $6 today. Had a few suck outs, and a few situations I could've avoid, like set over set.

Set over set is unavoidable, it's cooler.

True. Anyway I don't mind, my bankroll is at $200 now after playing some roulette.

I hope you know that you can't win on roulette in the long run.

You got lucky in the AA hand, he could easily suckout with those small bets. You must bet near pot size on these drawy boards on flop and river. Nice bluff induce on river.

Stay away from roulette, I dont understand how you can believe in PS.com's system and also believe in casino games.
