Need to come on here for a rant, would you believe?
So 2017 ended my worst year in poker yet, with '16, '15, '14 coming a close 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Basically reaching nearly half a decade 100% below EV.
All ALL IN PRE FLOP SnG's barring 180's, I did ok in those, but obvs barely 10% of my volume to have an impact on money.
So Jan 1st I got right down to it, deciding to try my hardest to make the top 3 on the WPN leaderboard for $1250. It is the only way to make money on the site, as you cannot win, or at least I can't. There are 3-4 long term profiters on there who sometimes feature at the top of the lb, but I can categorically confirm these feckers are absolute sunrunners. I am coolered vs them time and time again, sometimes run into their QQ+ 3 times in the first 5 mins of any session, whilst other regs I barely have a single confrontation with ever. It's quite, shall we say...BULLSHITTY???
Being around -20 to -30 cents a game so far after 6-7 months being on there, it would still be well worth going for it. There are far worse on there, a few top lb players losing upto 20k a year :-O Kinda makes you wonder how the hell one reg can be -20k whilst another is making 40c/game, when they're all as equally shit as each other.
So to make the top you HAVE to play Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, for looooooooooooong ass hours. Two weeks I came into Monday in the top 3, and both times got caught and screwed because I can't play the higher stakes. My backer said it's ok if I wanna play the $50/80/100's out of happy hour as long as there's a small % of recs in the game, and I have done and done quite well in a small number of games. But it's during the happy hours where $100 hypers go off that the other regs just peel away from me, also they play the $40 jackpots at the same time and out of happy hour when sits aren't running, and so I just can't fucking get there. However, the funny part is each week I've made a few more points than the last, that WOULD have seen me make 1250 on the pervious week, but this week STILL isn't good enough cuz some muvva keeps going that extra mile.
I even broke my all time record of never having played 40hrs in a week that I can ever recall, not only did I play over 40 in the first week of Jan, I played fucking 62!!! Has it paid off? It's simply amplified the losses!!!
Anyways regarding runnings, it's simply hilarious. The past two consecutive fridays, on the last happy hour which basically starts your points off for the following week, I had a really good session, reaching my peak and after the $500 reward gets injected the following day (usually the Saturday), was leaving at peak bank fresh for the new week. Then like fucking clockwork, I had utterly horrendous Sat, Suns and Mons, that have seen me drop 2k last week and this week over 3 grand!!! Fucking me right back to square one once again!
As I've said before, things do actually get more and more impossibly unrandom, with literally every single lp or blind shove walking into top 10% hands literally 98% of every single day. Every single defend a reg, or a rec makes for that matter, basically if ANYTHING goes to post flop, I lose. I do NOT hit...EVER. And they hit 100000000%. In meta tard reg wars, I'm saying to myself "jesus he's raising the turn/river for the trillionth time in a row, htf can he have it every time??? Simply does. They simply do...ONE HUNDRED...OOONE HUNDREEEEEDDDD %.
The card distribution is absolute fabricated bullshit, and I mean for any player who has played as long as I have, this goes out to sooooooo many regs, can't be arsed to name any, if you seriously cannot see the obvious in front of your very eyes, the GIGANTIC difference between todays and yesteryear's RNG's then I'm afraid there's an issue with your brain. And I'm far from the cleverest of any of you, in fact I'm quite a dumbass in many fields of the human intelligence, terrible memory and so on, but one thing I know is tip top is my intuition and psychology. I've been going over some hh's from 2013, 12, 11, 10 even, old $16 9's and so on, and it just doesn't happen anywhere near as bad as this. And remember how much I used to whine even then??? Man, old patternised number rigginator, come back all is forgiven!!!!
Now when I have any overpair to the board and oppoenent has stayed past the flop, I'm bailing, I'm not betting any further. If I flop a royal, I am beaten by the river, it's just non stop never ending it really is.
I question how that all my accounts get massively picked on, maybe they can all link me to my email, or maybe there's an ip address awareness list for all companies to adjust accordingly with, or maybe the creator in another dimension is doing it all. Either way, online number generators aren't 1% random.
Have told my backer this is my last week at going for the 1250, if I don't get it I'm quitting. Two years staked now and zero withdraw since June. Just can't carry on.
