Max late registration and cashed
Max late registration and cash of $7.11. Buy in was $2. Making the final table adds much more money. 1st and 2nd get additional $100 besides listed. And so on at lower amounts. Its the stormers/streamers that bring these.
A measure of running bad (Maybe). A negative 12bb/100 hand swing from 2023 to 2024.
The sample is about 18k hands on each platform. So smallish sample size. Variance can easily cause this swing over that amount.
The hands were played on different platforms and at different buy in. The lower stacks played on ACR is where performance took a dive.
Its not an apples to apples comparison but Ignition seems to work better for me.
Got a small turn bet called. The pot sized be on the river was to much vs Periap.
Jumped in this freeroll early in the day mostly for a warm-up. A $10 prize doesn't usually hold my interest and can likely lead to blunder easily.

Did make some light calls but was able to hold on and rebuild when needed. Found a way to better 1428 players.

That feels much better then the $10 prize.

Tight is right when playing a satellite format.
This one was very unexpected. I certainly blundered a few spots per GTO. The villain had already demonstrated willingness to take flops with a wide range. Even in large 3bet pots. I was hopeful to profit from this. The flush draw was the concern. When it bricked that seemed to promote my hand. I failed to correctly assess the river 4 liner achieved. K3 suited was not in the GTO 3bet call range. Lesson I am taking. Don't range the fish. Don't hero call off large bet rivers verses this player type.
Coach asked what hero does preflop. Scored max with call.

Postflop call of pot sized bet with top pair appears to be a huge fail.

The lesson here is that the call preflop was more about targeting a flush. Or maybe if top pair can get to showdown cheap.

The pair of aces facing a pot sized bet from the big blind and two callers. Does seem very likely that top pair is way behind with a weak kicker.
Americas Card Room (ACR) has been offering nearly hourly All In Or Fold (AIOF) free rolls often

The prize is usually tickets to a satellite for a tourney that pays nice

They are probably giving away the most entries of any platform

Would appreciate use of RAF-POTPLUCKER in referral
Ah6c on the big blind facing a 3bb raise from the small blind. With just over 200 hands villain seems to be sort of tight passive.

Do we fold, call or raise?
ACR makes you wait to see who is at the table till playing the 1st hand.

6 handed is not a long wait till the big blind comes around. Most usually wait. Often those that don't wait tend to be good targets.
Thanks for the comments and questions to last hand submitted. I messed up the chain while entering responses. Just fyi to scroll thru to bottom to see reply that should of been in the middle.
Did a review of this hand. The villain put in money every street. The river bet put me all in for remaining 59 blinds.

So getting nearly 3.9-1 odds. Its sort of a no brainer call with 2 pair imo. Got to win just once in 4 times to about break even. Twice to be well in profit. If the river had completed a flush and 4 liner of a straight then maybe may find folds there with 2 pair.

Would enjoy reading comments.
Small cash with a free tourney ticket. Also sold 30% as a discount.

Adjustments made are getting better results, little by little.
Got a piece of 2nd place in $300K buy in tourney.

Even better Pokerstake.com paid the withdrawal in BTC.
Back at the game. I'm inspired to play well. Holding better to the opening ranges. Better use of the 3 bet. Tightening up on the hero calls. C-betting with better boards.
In for a penny, .25 cent rebuys for a couple of hours. .50 add on. Streamer has 5 mystery bounties on her head. Just a good time cheap.
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

Even when on break still watching ACR stormers. Some good poker play and possibly win some tickets or tournament bucks.
Yesterday Home Games resulted in a 2nd and 10th place finishes.

We also do a points race throughout the year. I am in 5th with 8 games remaining. Took 1st last year. Going to need a strong finish to defend that.
Like almost 4 or 5 top 3 finishes.

That is very optimistic! Because poker and the variance do not work that way.
Today is a popular day to play home games. I got a double header today with my local group. About 25 players will gather and buy-in a fairly small entry fee for some tournament action playing Texas Holdem.

Best of luck to all the players today in whatever game you play!
