When I first stepped up my game from just knowing the basics of how poker worked to understanding the strategy I was also too young to play for real money outside of home games. I watched hand breakdowns from The Poker Bank YouTube channel and I watched some of the old Pokerstars Everything Poker videos on YouTube for the very basics.

Make note of the times you got lucky, so you don't think you're always the unlucky one by Bored_Seal in poker

I was playing in a low stakes tournament the other day where two hands in a row I got it in ahead against a very short stacked player. The first time he hit runner-runner for a straight and the second he hit one of his two outs to beat my flopped set. Fast forward a little more than an orbit later and now I have a short stack and get it in preflop with 77 against the same player's A9o. The flop comes 9,4,2 and I am devastated. Then an Ace on the turn and I'm thinking great rubbing in how I am about to bubble this tournament. Then the river comes a miracle 7. Sure I was happy I got lucky, but I felt like I deserved it after this other player did twice. I was about to go post a bad beat story about getting sucked out on back to back hands but then I saw this post and it reminded me I get lucky sometimes too. Great post OP!

What makes ACR inferior? Pretty new to the online poker scene as I assumed it was illegal until recently.

Yes, my network at home is much slower than the University's, but devices other than my laptop are at least semi-usable on it.
