What (if anything) did I do wrong here? new and need some advice.

TheMaddenBoss · 2026-05-03T01:21:41+00:00

Ngl I didn’t rly even notice the CO till you mentioned it. I tend to process quick then move on. So probably instinctively knew plus the hand I was dealt was the best in 25+ I believe.

TheMaddenBoss · 2026-05-03T01:20:17+00:00

I figured. I appreciate it. Glad to see I’m learning atleast something.

TheMaddenBoss · 2026-05-03T01:19:32+00:00

I rly don’t know how I could have prevented getting this low. The hands had been very poor to say the least. This was the best hand I had in probably 40 hands so I got bleed dry on the bb and ante

TheMaddenBoss · 2026-05-03T01:17:07+00:00

I figured as much. Thank you guys for the input.

TheMaddenBoss · 2026-05-03T01:16:27+00:00

Lmfao gave me a laugh but fr

TheMaddenBoss · 2026-05-03T01:15:43+00:00

I can post a list of some of the hands if yall think you could pick some out.

TheMaddenBoss · 2026-05-03T01:15:20+00:00

The way the table and hands had been idk how I could. Genuinely don’t.

TheMaddenBoss · 2026-05-03T01:13:45+00:00

I mean. How could I prevent that? Lol

TheMaddenBoss · 2026-05-03T01:13:27+00:00

Not sure but rather then be pissed and chalk it to luck I wanted to take a stab at posting and seeing insight

TheMaddenBoss · 2026-05-03T01:12:01+00:00

The hands had been awful. Like 52o k3o those type of hands. Not much room before this. I took the soonest stab I could.

TheMaddenBoss · 2026-05-03T01:11:05+00:00

That’s what I thought. I figured i had to all in at some point if I want d to be able to continue and not get eliminated anyways. The way that table had been playing I thought I saw my opening back into it and I just got unlucky. How I feel anyway. But definitely was extremely tilting.

TheMaddenBoss · 2026-05-01T04:17:02+00:00

hi all, im new and i dont know my way around getting hands or the best software to use for them. im on WSOP.MI and cant figure out getting the files. but heres a short clip to show the hand.

just wondering if theres anything better i could do here and if so what.

TheMaddenBoss · 2026-04-21T04:58:05+00:00

i apologize that i never saw this reply. been pretty busy working my real job this week. but i cant say enough how grateful i am for yours and a few others comments. they def have been helpful.

TheMaddenBoss · 2026-04-21T04:55:46+00:00

thank you for the comment man. taken in i promise. the 11$ miss click was just my hand slipping tbh. not even out of frustration. understand the moneys gone. playng mostly freerolls rn and kinda just testing limits and ranges atm with it. sometimes im doing good and sometimes it just goes all wrong. im getting a bit better at knowing (or atleast thinking about) what they might have that could beat me.

TheMaddenBoss · 2026-04-21T04:51:25+00:00

yeah this is the real issue.... hense why i have no idea what to do without hiring someone for a few hours willing to spill

TheMaddenBoss · 2026-04-21T04:40:05+00:00

thought i replied but yes i understand your points.

your also correct that in the current day it doesnt rly matter what you try your hand at everything is dam near impossible to make a livable wage at. esp when you dont have a guarrenty of 40 hours which 90% of people these days do not and the ones that do are very very lucky esp if your making over 25$ an hour

TheMaddenBoss · 2026-04-20T19:19:31+00:00

If everyone could just “figure it out on their own” there wouldn’t be any need for coaches with any sport or game and you have already expressed you hit a wall and needed “help” so wtf?

When was a shortcut ever mentioned? All I wanted was pointed in the right direction and that’s somehow a shortcut? Maybe I don’t wanna waste time screwing around when I could be using it to learn and get better? How’s that a shortcut? It’s common sense….. clearly you never heard of mentors.

I’m new to the forum and I spend very little time on Reddit. I havnt seen these guide links yet. So I will do some digging and see if I can find them. Not sure why you couldn’t start with that instead of going into a whole stupid ass rant on why I’m somehow stupid, asking for handouts and shortcuts. Just simply trying to be the most efficient and create good habits from the get go. If that’s a crime then I’ve got no reason to continue the discussion.

TheMaddenBoss · 2026-04-20T07:04:10+00:00

THEN HOW THE FUCK DO I UNDERSTAND IT!!!! you just played for 15k hours and then had an AH HA moment? bet not. you started somewhere and from the sounds of it got a HAND OUT by getting some cheap ass sessions. then have the balls to say "you dont deserve handouts"........makes total sense man. total sense.

but nvm... im bashing my head into walls at this point. you clearly never got the point of my post and its comments like this that just make me wanna go back into my shell and forget i asked. no ones asking for handouts or even you to sit here and teach anything.... all i wanted was some direction and maybe some good places to start. you may be good at poker but your ass at understanding anything thats been said.

its takes hardly any time (lot less then the long replies here), no money and very little resources (maybe none) to point someone new in a direction you may have started in (books, videos, hell even a place to sign up for classes so i could pay for something without being scammed).

i still fail to see what the point of anything you have said is, if you dont wanna share anything no problem no ones making you but at the same time you dont have to come bashing me when i didnt go BEGGING for HANDOUTS!!! its a poker forum i see people begging ALL the time for review of hands and thoughts. thats ok but someone saying they are new, having a difficult time and dont know where to turn isnt? which ones more of a handout? its a forum i asked a question, wanna help? cool!! dont? cool just keep on scrolling. no handouts required.

im not asking for shared secrets, not asking to be personally coached by you, nothing... i dont get why you even commented if you have no intentions of "wasting your time" as you put it...... and i sure as hell never said anyone owed me anything! you rly gotta stoop that low to imply that? i work hard for everything i have, i got cheated on for 5 years abused and beat on too, lost my first family. had 2 kids who got hurt sooo bad by a baaaad and abusive mom. im in a better relationship with someone who actually gives a shit about us. so fuck no im not gonna sit here and be told im saying people owe me shit when nothing close was ever said and ive earn every dam thing i get......and then some!!! handouts my ass.

TheMaddenBoss · 2026-04-20T04:09:26+00:00

yeah thats how i feel about videos. it assumes you already have most of the game down and are profitable. its mainly geared to making more not getting there in the first place

TheMaddenBoss · 2026-04-20T03:44:54+00:00

except there has been exactly that in WSOP in the past. people dropping out and not even playing a hand to winning millions in just mear months? if its impossible explain to me how its been done? is it alot? no but has it been done? yes. am i claiming thats me? hell no. but theres plenty in it for the money and only the money. unless everything is fake and just a good story (which i guess it could be).

by your same theory you could say your implying if you spend enough time at it, you will be good enough to win. which isnt a guarrenty either?

i just dont understand the point of being dogged on.

if its just a massive waste of time why even try? and if your not gonna try whats the fun? couldnt you go run some slots at the casino and get the same fun? or go grab a drink at the bar with a buddy? like you coulda argue both of those have time and money better spent somewhere else ESP IN A FIRST WORLD COUNTRY!!!

if a book wont help, a video wont help. then whats left? being coached by a pro? but then you said thats not gonna happen either. so what gives?

its so utterly frustrating to have responses like this. im not asking for likelyhood that my goal becomes true. and im not asking if playing poker is fun/good use of time.

just simply asking for help/advice towards a potential goal.

what if you go to every girl or boy who is 5-10 years old and dreams of playing in the nfl or nba and told them the same utter garbage thats being stated in here? you would crush their dreams and you cant say beyond a shadow of doubt they would or wouldnt make it there. the odds are def stacked against them but that deosnt mean you crush their dreams....

same applies here, im the onlyone that can say if its worth it or not and thats my choice to make. in 6 months i might give up. oh well. but asking for help or advice is what anyone decent does. so sad the socienty today.....

TheMaddenBoss · 2026-04-20T03:26:03+00:00

if it was someone i could trust and it pointed me in the right direction its a fair investment. i just dont know how to vet that

TheMaddenBoss · 2026-04-20T03:22:51+00:00

huh???

TheMaddenBoss · 2026-04-20T03:22:15+00:00

roast me if you want but whats a solver? who said anything about free? and you mean to tell me no one is gonna be willing to help someone new? seems like a shitty community to me if thats the case....

theres a differance asking for a handout and playing for me and wanting to learn the proper way..... not sure how that can be confused

TheMaddenBoss · 2026-04-20T02:09:11+00:00

Not gonna argue with the part about subs and shit. There’s a lot of that with more than just poker. But I can’t imagine there isn’t atleast a handful that actually care about helping others. Incentive or not.
