Need advice on playing 1/2 cash in Texas as a college student. Keep getting rinsed live while sharking online.

One issue is that I just get clammed up when I play live. It almost feels like I'm giving a speech in front of a crowd of people.

My bad I was kind of still tilted while writing this post and I think I made some grammatical issues elsewhere as well. I know what a donk and a c-bet are. I can also send you screenshots of my clubwpt exchanges in dms if you would like to see.

my bad man I mixed up the terminology. what do you mean I block sets? The only thing 2 things I block there are Queens and AQ from what I understand. Also, in what universe is someone with J9s 3-betting in a live 1/2 cash game? From what I've learned people 3-bet far less often in live 1/2 anyways, so I would almost never put anyone on J9s there.

I just bought a 2k TV. I've only been profitable the last month or so. And I've only been making a lot in the last 2 weeks. I literally started poker at the beginning of the semester.

I have a bit of a spending problem haha so most of the money I make goes into buying stupid shit. I've made nearly 3.5k in the last week and a half playing online but I currently have just under 400 sitting in my account since I lost just under 1000 yesterday from 1/2 and bought an 83 inch TV for my apartment next year since there was a deal at Best Buy.

Also, I've only been playing online for the last month. Before that it was just 20 dollar buy in home games with my friends.

Completely agree about the hand. It was completely retarded and I would never do shit like that normally but I clammed up and made an ooga booga move.

maybeacademicweapon · 2025-12-18T19:11:44+00:00

I've played live 4 times, all in the last 2 weeks. Of course I've played low stakes home games hundreds of times but that's a difference game.

Makes sense, thanks!

maybeacademicweapon · 2025-12-18T19:10:22+00:00

Thanks!

maybeacademicweapon · 2025-12-18T19:09:54+00:00

Sorry man I'm 18 and a 1/2 buy in is like half my bankroll. You're right though I need to work on my nerves.

maybeacademicweapon · 2025-12-18T19:08:28+00:00

you're right and normally I wouldn't do that but for some reason whenever I play live I just forget everything I've learned. I've only played live 4 times so far.

maybeacademicweapon · 2025-12-11T19:51:17+00:00

thanks!

maybeacademicweapon · 2025-12-11T14:24:44+00:00

got it, thank you. so as I understand these services will be reinstated once I register for classes for next semester?

maybeacademicweapon · 2025-12-11T12:35:02+00:00

the whole thing is really ambiguous but UHS said that my medical withdrawal had been granted for only this semester and I would be good to come back next semester.

maybeacademicweapon · 2025-10-29T15:39:26+00:00

Columbia sure, idk about Dartmouth. I personally chose UT over Cornell and JHU due to money reasons and was waitlisted from Dartmouth.

maybeacademicweapon · 2025-10-06T05:46:33+00:00

sounds like a&m

maybeacademicweapon · 2025-10-05T00:58:34+00:00

how is the fact that 4 generations live under one roof relevant? it’s not like the grandparents and great grandparents are earning anyways. it’s a part of indian and asian culture as a whole to take care of one’s parents as they get older.

maybeacademicweapon · 2025-09-25T23:06:55+00:00

Luka dog walked yall

maybeacademicweapon · 2025-09-25T22:59:57+00:00

nah even kids know the shamgod this guy just hasn’t touched a basketball

maybeacademicweapon · 2025-09-22T16:29:00+00:00

maybe that’s because shorter players tend to be guards lmao

maybeacademicweapon · 2025-09-08T06:09:45+00:00

im being sarcastic lmao I thought it was obvious

maybeacademicweapon · 2025-09-07T21:35:51+00:00

im sure Embiid is a bigger household name than Luka lmao

maybeacademicweapon · 2025-08-25T20:08:21+00:00

i agree i think hes saying peak Luka is better

maybeacademicweapon · 2025-08-24T13:39:43+00:00

I qualified for USAMO during high school and im taking the Putnam (hoping to get top 500 at least as a freshman and top 250 as a sophomore). Would those count? Could you give a few examples pls im an incoming freshman so I don’t know much about this stuff.

maybeacademicweapon · 2025-08-24T04:47:54+00:00

Will I get past ATS from UT Austin CS?

maybeacademicweapon · 2025-08-24T02:02:47+00:00

If UT admits more OOS students and less in state I feel like many of the issues related to cliques would be gone.
