Oh damn. I was like wtf when chips went to villain.
BUT I HAD STRAIGHT. Oh whait.

Raise flop a lot imo. This way you get him too fold stuff as good as AQ, maybe even AK. You can comfortably get it in on the flop with FD+gutshot just play it aggressively to win with 6-high often. ♠_cool:

raise turn

Raising flop or tunr is gay imo. Raising river ftw. ♦

Flop is when you have the most equity so that's where you should raise

I think calling twice is higher EV than raising flop tbh

Still fml. I don't feel a real joy of poker, but I can't leave it too. FML. Lets hope someone trolls my thread. At least that makes me smile.

Thanks man! Much appreciated.

Fuck the school! Soo many things to do this week.

Do none of them, that's how I became pro. ♠_cool:

Sucks to fuck it up when 3 months left. ♦ So I guess I wont be a pro.

Meh, any moron can pass exams w/o preparation (I'm living proof) but yeah obv, study hard, get into some cool uni and be a bright kid in general, being degen doesn't seem to fit u well.

Yeah thats what i did in 9th grade, anyway I had 2nd or 3rd best results in class. I really consider not getting into uni next year. This school life is killing me. I have skipped a LOT of lessons this year. Thats obvs after the time when you were my mentor. ♦ I remember chats
Me: "Damn school!"
You: "Fuck school! Literally."

Naah, I start to like Degens life. ♦

dont go tu uni i made a mistake by doin it, start grinding and yeah FUCK school

Imo uni is a great choice if you enjoy what you are learinging and you know for sure that it will be useful for you. I havent decided what I want to do in my life, so I better take some time to think about it, because at least 1 year of school will cost at least 2k$ and I dont want to throw that money in wind.

Well, I passed my exams, even tried the Uni I thought would be best for me a year ago. And well... you know the rest of the story. I say pass the exams and choose what suits you best. Degen or nerd, both have chances of success imo. It's just a matter of choice!

+1

Had I known poker (and all strategy stuff and that it really works, having friends who already lives from poker (I have 3 those friends atm)) be4 I finished class 12., I doubt very much I would step into uni.

I only was introduced to poker on 2nd year of uni.

Just find some sick poker mates here, play, analyze together make tons of money and be happy. (if you really like the game)

Yea, that's fine, I went to study some random bullshit w/o knowing what i want and that is pretty much few yrs wasted now.
