Interesting reading about the dopamine reward thing.ive turned $25 into $4500 betting sports in about two weeks.but I feel burnt out from grinding out games as opposed to the happy feeling I was getting at first.ive taken a two day break before tomorrow's football but it's pretty similar sounding to grinding out poker.

Ya it becomes a chore. Well work. I didn't care much for it I made solid money playing online. Until black Friday happened I think they call it where it's now banned in the US. Good riddance.

Oh yeah sorry. You should have called the pit boss cause they have your move on camera and you're definitely good. If what you're saying is true of course.

I think he SHOULD quit his jay dob and dedicate himself fully to this.

If this is what he wants to do he has to give it 100%. All this other stuff going on is just a farce. It's a distraction.

Right now you're slacking because you can.

You gotta eat this shit for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

You must become poker.

Ya I got into an argument with a black jack dealer. I stayed on 19 and she hit me. The fuck? Would've won that hand too. It didn't get me anywhere so I just left the table. This bitch is stupid.

Patial how ya been doing?  I started playing seriously again, I don't like the personality I take on while playing cards, but it's a fun way to waste time and make money.  I've been 7 times in the past 26 days.  These are my stats, rounding up or down depending.

1. +130
2. -100
3. +60
4. +270
5. -100
6. +130
7. +1080

That's all after drinks n nonsense.  Last hand on the 7th table I had pocket aces and button , had worked myself up to nearly 2k, every player 8set limps in, I raise it to 90, all but 3 fold.  flop is 8 2 7. Check's all around I bet 180.  Both call. Turn is King, they check I bet another 180, both call.  River is 3, they check I bet 160.  One of the bastards had the set and I lost almost 1,000 hand -_-

My game is getting much better. Money wise the profits are not worth mentioning but I'm starting to get involved in more expensive pots. I know how to get more cash out of people than I would have a few months ago. My instincts are much better than they were. I no longer get intimidated by large bets even if I think I have the winning hand. I can also spot bluffs more easily. February is the lst month.

I was giving myself 6 months of ups and downs just to see if my instincts were correct. By the end of February it's going to be 4 months and I think I'll just go change gear right now. I'm at the point where I knw when to fold and when to call and I'm more than ready to raise and let curiosity go. Hence, playing to win as opposed to playing to know where I'm at.

Most players don't understand my approach to this because they want to win too much. They consider me a fish because I pay them off to keep them honest. What they don't understand is that I'm not paying them off because I'm bad at poker. I'm paying them off to confirm my instincts. If I put them on a pair and I make 2 pairs and there an obvious straight on the river and he bets. Instead of being afraid athat he has it, I play on what I think he has. Of course lots of times he will hit that straight with his kicker, but it also confirms whether or not I was right with the hand I put him on and to me, that information is worth more than the money at this point.

But like I said. I'm 2 months ahead of schedule in terms of experience and intuition. I think I might be ready to follow my instincs because I have proven them to be correct and I believe that in the long run, it's what is going to make me money. I'm going today with a goal of 300$ of profits. I'll back to you whether I pull it off or not.

What's the rake per hand, min/max/%?

It killer. 10% max 8$ per pot. But it's the only fucking place I can play poker. So it's an added challenge.

Getting more cash out of people=max value.  Can turn against you though if someone gets lucky, sometimes it's better to just bet them out of the hand.  LIke you have a KQ, limped in and an ace flopped, prolly coulda won the pot with a trip or a pot bet pre-flop.

I play low stakes, 1/2, so I usually dont mind staying in for the flop, but if I have shit and theres a trip bet I fold everytime, unless I have position I may reconsider.  Learn your odd's.  "how not to suck at poker"  google it.  Play online with play chips, I use full tilt.  People fish out all the time but more hands played=better understanding.

Dress up when you go.  Act like a boss.  Seem intimidating.  It allows you to bluff and take pot, most of the time.  If someone calls back the fuck out but taking blinds is how you grind. 

You don't have to play to see what he has, odds are someone will play against you.  PLay base on your outs and your suspicion of the opponents.  Let others give him their money.  Watch the faces.  And yes, follow your god damn intuiton.  It knows things your conscious mind cannot comprehend.

How not to suck at poker, like I said, google it.  and play full tilt.  Hands played is everything in this nonsense of a game.  Oh, and number theory.
