Do you play poker?

[FreeMan228]

I used to play multiple tables up to 1000 hands/hour, was making some money but I understood that amount of effort you gotta put into work in order to become a professional player is enormous and reward isn't always the same... permanent stress, down streaks, tilt... it's a mental warfare rather then just a game But I still love it and can play couple of hours per month

 

[Mr Positive]

Pokers fun it’s the only game I get to lie and get praised for it lol

 

[maybesomeday]

MTTs daily.

 

[ashish2112]

I used to play, but I'm very impulsive and can't control emotions, so I dropped quickly. As fast as my cash dropped to 0.
Good old days of youth.

Same goes with me
I just make all in if I have Ace King Or Queen

I fold bullets if my opponent three bets me, lol, there are two types of people in the world.

 

[!nj3ct3d]

Yeah but not irl, just online for fun.

Ugh I hated whenever I got deal AK deep in a tournament

 

[ItsMeFox]

I play it online only and I enjoy it

 

[Followlix]

We should make a BHW poker tournament, LOL

 

[MisterF]

No. I am not heard about poker. Can you tell me about the poker?

Ever heard of using a search engine?

Same here!

Before I move into MTTs I was playing mostly Turbos 180s on PokerStars. I loaded every $3.50r, $8 and $15 that poped!

Remember playing 15-18 tables at the time and loading 150-200 of these per sessions.

When I switched to MTTs I used to play around 50-80 MTTs a day for 22-25 days a month!

I mean, I love playing poker but variance it was too damn stressful for me and, I never liked playing cash games.

As much as I enjoy playing MTTs and SNGs, the lifestyle of a regular MTT player isn´t something I wanted in the long run.

I never developed the proper mindset in order to cope with the effects of variance in MTTs.

In the end, the game got too tough for me to handle it mentally. The learning curve was getting steeper and steeper every year with markets getting segregated due to new legislations and player pools getting filled with tough regular each time.

This is to funny question I searched and now I know about poker.

 

[DonMillion]

You are such interesting guy. How much you had profit with 15-18 tables?

 

[55trillion]

I play professionally on pokerstars. Cash games only.

That was when I was grinding turbos 180s SNG on PokerStars.

According to Sharkscope, my overall ROI in those was around 14% using an avg rebuy of 2.3 to adjust rebuys because, as you know, sharkscope is not too accurate tracking these.

I remember now, later I had to drop my table count because these games were getting tougher and tougher to beat.

Staking stables stared to appear like flies and the games filled with regulars.

In the end, I was playing 8-12 tables on average.

Funny enough, my ROI was the same.

But over my last year, PokerStars made some critical changes to their VIP reward program and even to those 180s making them like the On-Demand SNG over FullTilt. Meaning, The game started every hour regardless of how many people registered and it had a late registration period.

I didn´t play these for too long because it was around the time my country was hit with big electrical and internet issues and I wasn´t able to continue playing poker.

Still, I was able to play around 2,000 games every month with an ABI of around $10ish.

But, when I added MTTs I had to cut back the number of 180s tables to heavily focus more on them.

I still played them to reduce the variance a bit.

With this setup, I was loading 800-1200 tournaments a month + 300-500 SNGs

ROI was pretty much the same, although it was over a small sample and ABI was a bit higher since I was loading MTTs up to $22 and $55 on Sundays.

My biggest cash was actually in The Bigger 10 on a Sunday where I finished 3rd for $7.2k. My AQs crashed against QQs in an all-in preflop situation (The guy end it up playing heads-up and made a deal with the other guy for almost $16k )

Used to play a lot in the past, but nowadays I barely play

Me too. I don’t play at all now. It takes too much time.

 

[Elvy Reza]

You should definitely write a poker blog if you haven't already...real life experience as a pro player. Add some affiliate links. Would be cool!
