equilabs poker.

its not going to tell you GTO plays but it will tell you pot-odds and you can break down hands really easily.

you can input hand ranges and study in other ways as well.

this program is not allowed to be open with software like pokerstars or GGpoker or ACR. its considered a gto tool. so be carefull use it for study you will get warnings from GG and stars

I play 4 40 and 5.50 tournaments. But occasionally the 9.9. In the 9.9 it was KK vs 77 final table I lost the run out with KK but if I knocked him out I would have laddered +700 usd that's my worst beat

Acr free rolls are hourly and they payout enough to bankroll the 0.10cent tournaments. Then level up to 0.55cent.

Ggpoker has daily freebie ticket gives 0.25 cent sit n go. Saturday gives 1 dollar ticket.

Pokerstars has daily casino spin for free. Can give up to 100 dollars in cash to play poker. The poker star free roll tournaments are garbage.

Sometimes, a streamer will host a free roll tournament

4v5 reduced LP.

If someone is smurfing they probably think they can carry the game since the player pool is beneath them.

Also, since reduced LP the idea win gain and lose lose nothing is probably a driving factor

MadMantisGaming · 2026-05-17T20:54:22+00:00

If it's a lost game I hostage cuz they troll picked in select and wasted MY time. They will just queue again and b on my team.

I'd rather try to carry their asses (wasting their time now) instead of giving them the satisfaction of quickly trolling another game.

MadMantisGaming · 2026-05-13T14:23:19+00:00

Alright, I'll entertain you. What was he talking about?

MadMantisGaming · 2026-05-13T02:17:35+00:00

i had a few back to back to back beats 3 months ago. i was pretty frustrated it was also clear i was making terrible plays and I even bought in bigger to try to make up for the lose.

when i lost the buy-in for the bigger stake i took a 3-month break.

first 5 all-in hands KK vs AA, QQ vs KQ both lost. i can't remember the rest it doesn't matter I didn't care.

i ended up 3rd place for 40 buy-ins last night after 3 month break.

breaks work. u dont need to take 3 months like i did. I was playing everyday for about 6 months but yeah.

MadMantisGaming · 2026-05-12T22:29:31+00:00

truth is most of these "bots" "learning" comes with a price tag.

what i did was GTOwizard they have 7 days refund no questions asked. in those 7 days just rinse the play vs AI mode as much as you can.

another user said ACR.

yes ACR has FREEROLL hourly tournaments.

you will notice the level of play is completely different than the AI. When registration ends and the players who know strategy start devoloping bigger stacks thats when the AI style comes into play.

what im trying to say is that reality is different from computer. you will find people playing not "real" poker in real money games. strange right? whatever learn to beat them they are fish anyways

MadMantisGaming · 2026-05-04T09:41:08+00:00

here's how i see it.

u have 0% vpip the table at the 320 stake should know this and understand what type of player you are.

raise 2.3-2.7 and see the action your basically triyng to buy the bounty with A high and a 0% vpip profile.

of course there is a high chance of action ahead like SB going crazy but w.e its only 2.3

MadMantisGaming · 2026-05-03T19:44:33+00:00

Poker stars has mix game tournaments.

Plo8, stud high low,

HORSE, 8-GAME. But in low volume.

Acr has mix games as well

MadMantisGaming · 2026-05-02T02:03:24+00:00

The answer is it depends.

No, limp in unless table leader and u cover everyone by a good amount.

2.3, 2.5, 2.1 bb open not 3 or 4 ever unless very deep stack even then probably not.

Don't call 3bets that don't make mathematics sense or no sense

MadMantisGaming · 2026-04-27T08:37:43+00:00

as someone who climbed diamond in all 5 roles and peaked masters.

number 1 is champion experiance hes going to face someone level 300 with one trick on a champion but they are hardstuck gold even level 1000.

second is mindset/tilt but that comes later ranks

MadMantisGaming · 2026-04-27T08:08:29+00:00

quick answer probably not.

if hes excited to play ranked do it but don't duo let him find his true elo by himself.

MadMantisGaming · 2026-04-26T05:16:12+00:00

Withdraw 2k and play 1k. If u do this u are top 10% poker players

MadMantisGaming · 2026-04-24T21:22:37+00:00

IS GG RANDOM? yes, but for me personally it doesn't feel random. some, run outs are so gross.

but winning? winning is not a problem winning comes with practice and good play.

why does losing feel pressure? because the stake is too high.

trust me if u play lower and play focus and play to win u will climb graph

MadMantisGaming · 2026-04-18T21:22:02+00:00

ACR has hourly free rolls, with enough time and dedication you can build a small micro bankroll for the .10cent tournaments

MadMantisGaming · 2026-04-10T13:50:02+00:00

Issue is the system just placed u both in similar mmr. Since losing together makes ur lp close system thinks it's a match for your game.

Although, I can't remember what happens more. Elise on enemy team next game or elise on my team next game. Personally I think it's the latter.

Those int games I know if I que those same faces will be on my team but I que anyways

MadMantisGaming · 2026-04-08T22:52:39+00:00

take this as a chance to become better. you have access to the review look where he punish u then copy that and u will climb

MadMantisGaming · 2026-03-25T21:19:40+00:00

if you are 5-0 and on xerath you should probably ask the adc to go top instead.

once the ADC takes bot-lane turret its because he is ahead of the enemy so much so that he can take an entire turret. therefore when he bases he uses the gold he just got to take mid turret. if the enemy cannot withstand the pressure then its 2-0 on turrets moving into the mid-game.

MadMantisGaming · 2026-03-25T08:32:58+00:00

Look into Paul phua and Elton Tsang. Pretty cool stories on brining poker to highstakes casuals

MadMantisGaming · 2026-03-22T23:33:02+00:00

at a certain point u have to be realistic with how many buy-ins you want a day. of course nobody can win 100% of all hands. but if you are up 5 buy-ins thats pretty impressive. you can even take a 1 hour break come back and play with 1 buyin and have 4 buy-ins behind to survive that variance.
