The fact that you still cashed out with anything shows more discipline than I ever had chasing the wind down easy street while trying to fulfill my delusion of grandeur of being a good poker player. My best advice is to remain the same because in my experience you can tilt going up just as much as down and you seem to be pretty even keeled in spite of this swing which shows a lot of the character needed to survive this silly game.

Thing I will say is that it doesn’t make since to go for thing value when the river card completed most of the draws he would be calling the flop or turn with. Also betting half pot on the turn is just giving him better odds to call with the draws he has. If he had Q 10 I don’t think he calls the turn anyway. So it would make more sense to check the river.

It’s called variance… It’s the toughest thing to learn when playing poker, you can play the hand perfectly and lose… 1/3 can be a fun game, the $500 buy in is very appropriate because it will allow for actual poker and not people jamming with a lower buy in… Variance can drive the best poker players insane, even when you had the nuts you had to chop… it sounds insane but 2/5 and 5-10 are more purer games… more standard 3 betting that the players will respect… your tight folds will pay off in higher stakes

Better get use to it cause these swings are standard at these games even with a 30bb/hr win-rate you can still lose 3000$ in one session and -1k swings within a single session is standard. This match the stack 1-3 you’re playing plays bigger than most 500-1000$ cap 2-5 games so it’s a bigger jump from 1-2 than u would expect. Raise larger with 4 limp in this game u need to raise to 30. 6 way pots AA go way down in value and you need lazer accurate reads when stacking off in with them in multiway pots. Your hand has less than 50% equity vs 5 opponents it’s standard to lose half the time. Obviously you did run bad and lost more than that but focus on what you can control not what you can’t. Having an attitude of I’m running bad is going go hurt you in the long run, always have the attitude of I suck, how can i get better, i got unlucky and lost 2800$ but if i had played better maybe i woulda only loss 2400$ should be your mindset. Good luck I am rooting for you.

I watch Doug McClusker's Vlog also. You guys play at the same casino in the same game....and I just keep thinking to myself how mostly great he has run this year in big spots...vs how terrible you have run in the same game at the same Casino in a lot of your big spots. I do think Doug is a little better player than you are, but the huge difference in his results vs yours in 2024 really does show how the variance in the big pots greatly affects results....run good versus run bad in the pots that make or break a session. Good luck the rest of this year... but running on the wrong side of variance can go on for a long time within normal statistical variance, so I hope it turns for you soon. The cards are pieces of plastic with no memory and no preference as to who wins...and they can be cruel. I would be surprised if McCluster has any issue with amymore than maybe one of those five AA hands the way the board flopped and the hands played out, accounting for your pot odds when calling vs other inferior hands you could have been up against. Mariano is a great example of a guy who's made it big as a vlogger and he is a really good player, but he has also been so incredibly fortunate to run on the massively positive side of variance in huge pots as he built his vlog and his bankroll....hands that basically play themselves win or lose.

Just play well for a few thousand hours. You'll have bigger upswings and downswings than this. Its just a drop in the bucket. It gets so much worse and better.

AA should have been played much more aggressively. You gave him way too good of a price to continue.

Hey man, I like your content. Minor feedback: You have kind of a sing-song style of narrating. I see (hear) it a lot when people give presentations and is a common critique of mine and now I can't unhear it. If that's how you normally talk, then I apologize in advance...but if that's your presentation voice, try switching to your normal talking voice. Would give the vlogs a more personal feel. And I could stop skipping through your intros and outros. (The sing-song feels most intense during those).

Fair point, I’ll try to dial it back a little haha

25 for aces was way too low with 6 people in the hand.....should have went to at least 75.

If this is your biggest loss ever then youve played so little volume.

ok i have to say i am not a fan of you folding ace-king there. sure you knew you were behind, however, u have a hand that can improve to beat ace-deuce. if you were holding ace-queen or under in this hand, i like a fold giving what you said about the player. the other dynamics in the hand are that he is all in. if he had more chips, then folding is not a bad play giving what you know about him. the other dynamic is the other player in the hand. if u called the all in and he calls, u may be able to make money off this player in case u r beat with the all in player. its all a gamble depending on your stack.

Fair assessment. Exploitable fold for sure but went with the gut!

Agreed. Still trying to get my sizings down early in a session. It varies so much each day for what people will call!
