HU VS a drooler, lost my "roll" (the Jared Huggins story)

Beat: HU vs drooler, lost my $100 bankroll ($100 table obv.)
He raised preflop every single hand including out of position.
Called 75% of my three bets with trash.
Only pot bet, regardless of board, his holdings, or position.
He is -$1132 in 2000 hands, -33/bb 100
We played 250 hands.
This guy was a corpse and I ran so cold it was insane. Only hitting any pair or a decent draw a couple of times. Twilight zone.

Queens cracked

Please tell me if I played this poorly.

1-2 NLH game, two hours after new table started nine handed. Buy in for maximum of $400, mostly card dead for the two hours. I did steal a few pots, mostly small. I am at 425 effective and pick up queen of hearts, queen of clubs on the big blind. Fold, fold, then LAG player (raising many pots preflop, got caught a few times with garbage) makes it $12 to go. Folds around to me, I make it $32. Villain ca

I'm so stupid

After years of playing poker and making some little money my brother decided to stake me and gave me a roll of 2k (he's been a winning reg on PS for years), the deal was simple: grind, win $$ and when you have your own bankroll you return me the money.
I have to add some context by saying I don't have a stable job so what could be pennies for some of you is significant money for me.


I get the 2k and start playing NL50 on PS as previously ag

GGPoker Is Not Letting Me Withdraw my Funds

At GGPoker, you can make as many deposits as you would like without a single restriction. They will let you play on their site without any verification. If you happen to win and want to cash out, then GGPoker all of a sudden is dedicated to "security" and they will require you to submit a photo ID, proof of address, and then once you do that, they will just continue to come up with hoops to jump through to prevent you from receiving the mon

Did I make the right fold?

I am mainly an MTT grinder but I've been taking some shots at my local 1/3 cash game. Tonight I had an interesting hand that will haunt me for years but I think I made the right fold.

I was UTG with KK and jusy over 800 in my stack. I open to 22 and it folds to the cutoff. He 3 bets to 50 and the button calls. I 4 bet to 115 and cutoff folds and button quickly called. For some context the player on the button had me covered and I've played

My home casino

OK, to start off I know all of the legal implications of this and whatnot. Don't post if your gonna say how this is illegal.

I want to start my own cardroom type casino at my house. This would be full-on, real casino atmosphere for the players at the comfort of my home. I would provide NL Holdem ring games, as well as a variety of other poker games if demand proves necessary, and Blackjack tables. Also 2-3 nights a week I would be hostin

Averaging 28 BB/hr my first 60 hours back at $1-$2

Posting it here in the hopes of getting plenty of “omg you r-tard you’re just going through a hot stretch” replies.

Lost my job a month ago and decided to spend my new free time at the local casino. Biggest Hold’em game is $1-$2 with $2-$100 spread limit (the most you can raise is $100 more than the previous bet).

And….I’ve played for 61 hours and am up $3450 so far. And YES $840 of that is running over my All-In-EV, but, still. My last job

Jonathan Little tries to bluff me in the WSOP $800 deepstack

I can't remember the last time I posted on here, but I def have to make a brag post for this hand.

This is my first WSOP event, the $800 NLHE deepstack. I've been playing at this table since I registered, so for a couple hours at this point. I'm in seat 1 and seat 2 has been empty. A player sits down in 2 and we chat for a bit. He then whispers to me something like "dang, Jonathan Little is at our table" and I respond with ".... I don't know

My first awesome poker experience (Ignition online 5NL)

I'm very much a beginner. I've been reading some books (mostly Ed Miller stuff), and trying to learn more by playing low stakes 6 max on ignition. I've been playing regular tables without a HUD as a kind of practice for live games, observing people and seeing if I could notice trends. Me and another player had been on a table for roughly an hour, and were both at about 19 dollars. He had been limping into most pots, betting like a maniac, a

Effing variance

I played the most bizarre hand the other day. I had never seen anything like it before. It was a casino $2/$5 game.

First let me describe the villan. He is a regular. He plays in the game far more than I do and most would consider me a reg. He is a fine player. He is probably too ABC, but that means he plays a a game that is a bit too tight to be optimally profitable, but regularly crushes the casuals in the game.

Overall a perfectly fine, pr

The story of "The Home Game" - TL;DR

Chapter 1 - The Inception

I created this account so that I could remain anonymous. If I had posted this on my other account, others on 2p2 may know it is me, and I would rather keep their anonymity, and I would like to keep mine.

This is a true story of the evolution of a home game plus extracurricular activities. In it there will be degeneracy, poker, life stories, all of this hopefully for your entertainment. These events took place betwee

Full house over full house over full house over flush. My most amazing live hand so far

This recently happened at 1/2 nl in Las Vegas. I had won some decent hands prior to this so had about $600 in front of me.

I'm in SB with Jh 10h. A few people limp and BTN raises to $10. I call, LJ calls and HJ calls.

Flop is Js, Jd, 10s

I check, LJ bets $15, Hj calls, BTN calls, and I call.

Turn is 7c

I check, LJ almost bets but decides to check, and HJ bets $25. BTN calls, I call, LJ calls. All snap calls.

Global Poker Max Win on "Thunder Wheel" (GC )

Global poker has a challenge to spin using GC for like 25,000 spins. If you do; you get access to an all in tournament at end of month. Huge money (really unlikely to win, but if you have the GC, it's basically a free shot at a huge prize pool).

I was spinning these and doing things around my house; when I looked up and saw I was at the highest stage I'd ever been at. I hit record on OBS and got the tail end of the win.
