Obviously this is a micron thin, planted piece by pro Israel democrats exploiting mopey sectarianism (I count 11 weasel words; 4 “somes”, 3 “increasinglys” and 2 “manys”) but this part, in particular, is both extremely cynical and a fake thing that simply never happened.

I like Doolittle that much...

Funny, we were having a conversation about them last night and I threw out the "hot take that might actually be true" that perhaps Frank Black was holding Kim Deal back.

[jordan @song2thesiren]

do you guys really like the pixies that much or are y’all just saying that

[Roy Donk Bet @CapnNath]

Why does @ClubWPTGold's late registration clock suck so much? Sometimes registration ends the instant it hits 0. Sometimes you have several minutes while the last hand is being played out and people are rebuying. Sometimes you buy in at 0 and get dealt in a hand anyway.

@ProblemTomatoes @learss2005 Why are you answering the question with a question?

Most deranged person imaginable

New blog post up, discussing where the show's at and some of my struggles with playing, particularly on the mental side.

Sorry, no new episode today - I was out of town for family matters for a while there and haven't been able to line up our next guest. Hopefully I'll be able to do that and record as soon as possible.

Related, we're always looking for guests! Drop a line if you're interested.

Thought I'd play again today since there wasn't much going on and it's the same shit as always. Every session I play I spend the first 2-4 hours losing every single all-in, in all the typical fashions.

How do I just choose to be lucky? So many players seem so good at doing that.

[Roy Donk Bet @CapnNath]

Need a mindset shift. Some people seem to just decide to think they're lucky and then they are. Or at least be able to reframe their results in a way to not lose hope or confidence. I don't know how to do that.

I mean I'm sure I'd have a losing expectation in the former, but I have enough tournament fundamentals that there's no way it's *that* low. And I probably have a winning expectation at $100 online tournaments. I just can't run well enough to win if the prize is more than $2000.

[Roy Donk Bet @CapnNath]

Somehow this year I have a -92% ROI in tournaments $100 and higher. they certainly are not THAT much harder than lower stakes. That's why I get so frustrated: As soon as I try to move up to meaningful stakes I just lose my ass every time.

[Roy Donk Bet @CapnNath]

like there's no way my true ROI in $100,000 buyin tournaments is -92%, let alone $100 tournaments online.

[Roy Donk Bet @CapnNath]

I win Ax vs. two broadways cards maybe 5% of the time.

It's my own fucking fault, I should have limp/shoved KQ on that blind vs. blind hand. Every time I try to play cautiously for ICM reasons I just end up acting like a passive bitch losing pots.

[Roy Donk Bet @CapnNath]

Okay I won a bigger pot deeper in the tournament AQs > KK and that feels more important.

[Roy Donk Bet @CapnNath]

How the fuck do you win Ax vs. two Broadway cards all-in? I thought that was roughly 60/40 but I'm at about 2/98 no matter which side of it I have.

[Roy Donk Bet @CapnNath]

Never mind! As soon as I got the chip lead with 15 I lost every single pot and busted 11th. Lost KQ < KJ to the moron clown making little bitch bets BvB and flatting raises with shit like A8o. Then lost to him again shoving A6s and he calls with KQ and I CAN'T WIN THOSE EVER.

[Roy Donk Bet @CapnNath]

Could also use advice on not always losing a huge pot the instant I have a big stack. Would be nice to EVER be able to carry a big stack for any length of time.

Who sounds like the six-year-old again? lmao
