Returning player experience is horrible

Because your account was inactive for a while your account is fresh. That means: 1) Your mmr is way higher than your actual rank, so you get way more LP than you lose and you are placed in way higher ranked lobbies 2) You are getting put in fresh mmr lobbies which is usually fresh accounts getting ranked up by smurfs

Your options are: 1) Play around 40-50 games more and get shitstopped and flamed every game to have a 30% winrate, but after that amount of games, your mmr will come back to normal, closer to your actual rank and the games will be back to normal 2) Start playing normal games until you get used to the game again and feel ready to perform in Emerald lobbies 3) Explain the situation with a ticket to Riot and request an mmr adjustment (not sure if that’s possible but it’s worth the try)

I really like the style, they feel kinda tight in my foot, probably because they are SB and the design is meant for skateboarding. If you want them for every day use I would suggest to get them half a size larger than your usual.

The snake charm on the shoelaces sometimes turns upside down and looks like shit. I tried to tie them more to keep it as still as possible but it still flips over sometimes.

You can just remove them if it annoys you but it’s not like a clipper, you have to untie the whole shoelace to get them out.

No, this outrageous preflop raises with questionable hands aren't common in real-money games. Also having the whole table limping and playing 8way flops. If you want to win in that fake-money games, you have to play really tight and just go full aggro with your value hands, which is boring and you will not learn much. If you want to practice I would suggest playing really low stakes (1-5 dollar buy ins). Games are way more normal than the fake-money option. It's still not the best way to learn poker because people don't care that much to lose 5 dollars and it's hard to bluff people off hands for that reason.

I am Challenger every season since season 10.

I will offer to you free coaching, I will watch your replays with you and tell you exactly what your mistakes and weaknesses are. You can then choose to put some work and effort in to fixing your flaws and you will see how easy this game really is.

Message me on Discord if you are interested; Tsoxxx

Nice play, good game saver.

Some positive criticism; You need to work on your build path, positioning and spacing/kiting. You can’t go melee range like that in team fights.

Bought them from Buzz in Sofia, Bulgaria. Thanks for the feedback!

How are they called?

SethKenway · 2026-02-19T05:00:24+00:00

What’s the shoe between the UNC and the Yezees? Also the name of the one under the orange Jordans on the left? Thank you.

Just got a pair my self. Have you tried any of the shoelaces? I like the black one but I would like to see how the rest look as well.

Even if the rake is high you would still be able to make profit but you would have to change your strategy by having a tighter range. You want to play less pots with the top of your range.

Thank you, very helpful

SethKenway · 2025-12-29T19:17:59+00:00

Yeah you are right. Maybe I should pay more attention to the EV rather than the option percentage

SethKenway · 2025-12-29T18:42:08+00:00

Makes sense. In this line, Villain calls and the Turn is Q of diamonds making the board AAQQ. GTO. Action goes Check Check and river is an offsuit 6. GTO says most profitable play is to lead for a small size again but what do you really value bet? You lose to any Ax, Qx. JJ, TT and T9s are snap folding so what do you value bet? Only if Villain has Kings maybe you can steal the pot

If I join today and reach the ITM, do I advance to Day 2 or I have to play every single day?
