Poker the Marginal Way AMA

[SenorStacks]

Great blog, read it all at once! Must be nice to crush live PLO like that. Also very wise decision to keep your job given the £££ you make playing poker, even smallish 2 year career break can make things hard afterwards if your plan is to climb up the ladder.

Nice win again Do you play long evening/night sessions during the week and then go to office?

This is like reading poker fantasy novel. Just showing up in a casino and taking home money. Using casino as an ATM

Yea i grind from the night into the morning then go to the office. Right now im only managing 6-8 hour sessions cause of the surgery but I use to do 8+ most of the time.

I tend to grind more from Thursday-Sunday but if im not travelling during the week, the games are generally bigger on Monday-Wednesday and Id prefer to play those.

Also a little stackage for you guys.

Games were initially really good tonight but ended up just reg infested. No need to play really, dropped like 3.5k though. Reg picked me off with a really sick call with an overpair but other than that nothing to report.

Still an 18k week so ill take it.

Finally a losing session! Not that I'm rooting for it... But at least we know you are still (probably) human.

 

[Marginal]

Yea I know right, doesnt even tilt me obv. If i go tonight ill win it back lol but nothing runs on saturday so probably wont go.

 

[Marginal]

15 hour session yesterday.

We were playing 5/10/25 and then i instigated the double straddle for a bit.

Yesterday was the spewiest I have ever been. I was originally up 4k but then was down 6k got it in with like 40-50% equity a couple times in 10k pots, then got even then 3/4 in a 3 way 12k pot with AAxx against AAxx and QJ97.


Ended the day up 8k. I woke up 20 minutes ago and just called a taxi and I am on my way again.

I've never been to the Vic. What stakes are the NL games? I could be less lazy and look it up but as you're a regular!
Congrats on your continued successes. How did you do online over the weekend?

Won 3bi at 1/2 lost 3 at 2/4

Come on down

Was not going to grind yesterday but when i checked the twitter there was a 10/25 game running. I didnt think I would get in but when I came I was 2nd on list cause apparently not every reg wants to grind that 10/25 for the variance, who knew.

Anyway, I lose a flip in a 12k pot early on to be 6k down but just grinded it back to a 3.5k profit.

I played really well but hit a fair bit of flops. other than the flip i lost i didnt get to showdown for rest of night.

 

[Ducky7]

Lol its strange how you're printing money but you never go to showdown and cooler that often

Got some bad news folks.

I was kinda sick whole weekend but couldn't figure out what it was. On Monday evening my appendix ruptured and I was just able to call an ambulance in time. Surgery went well albeit a bit messy the doctors said. Should be in hospital for couple of days and we will see what goes on from here

I had mine rupture when I was 16. It was brutal. I woke up for school one day & couldn't walk. Out of school for 2 weeks (other than the pain, it was the best 2 weeks of that school year LOL)

I'm glad you're doing good. Stay that way :icon_thum

It is super weird, I have had no motivation to play what so ever. I mean im going to play everyday from the 12th to the 24th so maybe im just in rest mode.
