Ask me anything about playing poker semi-professionally!



Dude I created a FUCKING WINNING strategy but damn poker tracker ruined it...


Basically I would raise preflop every hand. Then if anyone raises me I would fold. (unless I had really good cards like pocket aces or something) Almost 90% of the time everyone would fold and give me the blinds. If anyone called my bet we would go to the flop and I would bet the pot if it was checked to me no matter what my cards were. Again 90% of the time people would fold. If they called me I would check unless I rivered the nuts... and if they raise I would fold (unless I flop nuts)....

The best thing about this is that people would eventually believe I was bluffing everytime and start calling me, and because I was stealing all the blinds they WANTED TO PROVE IT and I would flop the nuts and take their their whole bank roll.

I was doin this really well. I turned $35 into $75 play $1 $2 blinds in less than 30 min on pokerstars. The only problem I ran into with this is FUCKING POKER TRACKER tells everyone at the table my preflop raise percentage so people WILL start to call you every time and you lose money....


Basicaly a simple preflop raise with a continuation bet, and I never bet any money after this unlesss I was sure I had the nuts...


( I really shouldnt have posted this but merry fuckin christmas)

This strategy works REALLY WELL SHORT TERM.... but as soon as your preflop raise percentage is something like 90%, like mine was, every table you go to people call and you stop winning blinds and lose your money.

FUCK POKER TRACKER!!!!
 
how do you guys deal with cheaters? like people with pot calculations and people teamed up to play against you.
 
i have one ... is there a method you can use to play every day where you know you will make a certain amount of money?

lol. this isn't how things work, especially in gambling. but, if you still want info, I have an ebook you can try for free*/risk-free
 
I know this is an old thread but I find it interesting. I have played for a living and I don't think new players are aware as to how much luck is involved with playing. Mostly you have around a 10% or so advantage, which is not big enough to guarantee that you will win more than you lose when you are "bad beaten". You have to hit the right hands at the right time, and this is not going to happen to most people. Hence good players can bobble along making a small sum, but never hitting the upper echelons of some of the luckier players. My advice is to treat it as a gamble and never play with more than you can afford to lose.

I'm extremely curious on how much you're earning and REMOVING from your bankroll to cover living expenses. I am a good enough player to make a living but cannot imagine covering my monthly nut from a bankroll based on the swings that are likely to happen.
