Hi, my name is Dave, and my wife is Alaura. We are new to online poker generally. In real life I consider myself a mediocre to advanced player. I also seem to have a great knack for bluffing, and knowing when i'm beat. But speaking of BEAT, how about bad beats? I'm grinding in low stakes, and i'm dominating in some zone poker on bovada. I went from 25$ to 500$ in 5 hours. Make 210$ through zone poker, and the rest through a lucky blackjack streak. However, I up to stakes and decide to risk it all. so i take my entire stack into a higher stake zone poker game. I go on this cooler, then I hit a heater right? I hit pocket bullets, and call a 3-way all in. Flop, A, 2, 3. Im representing trips. The beat comes, when the opponent has 4,5 suited.. I lose it all. First off, who the hell calls a 500$ all in with 4, 5 suited? Im not a shortstack and they should know im not bluffing AN ENTIRE POT FOR A DAMN 40$ backraise. So Let me explain. Me and my girlfriend have spent the last year homeless. We just recently got jobs and got our own place. I am a very impressive naturaly poker player. Even before knowing strategies such as 3-betting, c-betting, bluffing. I was always good at reading my online opponents by every move they made, and the time it took them to call. I could spot flatting and silent monster hands on the fly. But I spent our entire rent money on an emotional swing to regain that 500$ Now that i'm more benevolent and ready to make a career at grinding again, I would love some advice. I grew up in the streets, I am a hard person to read and able to read people as if i'm psychic. OF course noone is more powerful than the luck of the draw. So now I left bovada due to reports of superusers, botting, etc. Loved the site due to soft players, but there is something off about Bovada, so I recently switch to America's Cardroom. I have 11.50$ to play with. I was to make rent, and my fiance is highly upset with me. Her birthday is Oct 15, and I want to present her with a respectable bankroll and buy her something nice. My job isnt enough. I need someone to help or advice me on how to grind 11.50 into something bigger. Any advice? EVERY little detail helps. Thank you so much for reading, and i'm ready to learn from everyone, if you're willing to contribute! Thanks,
Dave & Alaura
