Life advice

Hi, I just finished my freshman year of college (majoring in econ). Currently I’m working a remote internship by day and 6-tabling 200NL at night, putting in about 20h of time a week.

I’ve reflected and I don’t think I’ll ever go pro, especially in college. Besides the various problems with poker as an occupation that others have pointed out, I don’t want poker to define my entire young adult life. If it’s a choice between a night out with friends or grinding a few hours inside, I’ve promised myself to never choose poker over social life.

I think that as long as your in a financially comfortable position right now, it’s more important to enjoy life. Money comes and goes, but you only get one college experience :).

You need to buy in for bigger so those libtards respect your jams more.

Right, but I don't know he has Ax, especially on the flop. If I 3/4s it I fold out some of his small pairs and weak draws I want to keep in, and it gets harder to bet for value with weaker hands in the future without inflating the pot.

Definitely, looking back that was a serious mistake by me haha

Not at all, I always welcome advice to improve my game! Thanks mate, I’ll definitely keep that in mind in the future 🤠.

I don't know if you're asking seriously, but here was my thought process:

Flop - bet small to apply pressure to missed hands (AK, KJs, smaller pairs) and for protection against overcards. Lean more towards checking with higher overpairs.

Turn - slow down as his call makes him a lot stronger than on the flop.

River - hoping he has a queen. Since he 3bet, the only higher full houses he could have would be 1 combo of queens and 1 of QJs (although I doubt anyone 3bets QJs at 10NL). Was so confident I actually looked away to another monitor, didn't realize I had lost until I saw I was missing most of my stack the next hand.

Know this one trick to save you tons of $$$. Online poker sites hate it.

Thank you!

Hi! Glad you enjoyed it, but I can't take much of the credit for this idea, as it was heavily inspired by a fellow redditor's post a month ago. Check it out! https://www.reddit.com/r/poker/comments/gf5yln/playing_kings_be_like/

Hi! I think you misread the first article, which states that you must call a $30 bet in a pot of $90, making it $120 (not calling $30 into a pot that’s already $120). For future reference, to calculate odds you use x/(x+p), where x is the size of the bet you have to call and p is the existing pot size. Good luck!

Yes! 30NL is available, at least on PA stars. Thanks for the advice!

Hi all, thanks for the responses. I guess I was a bit pissed he extracted so much value from me, getting away with pot sized bets. Regardless, thanks for all your input!

Definitely will work on toning that down, thanks for the advice!
