My Journey As A Professional Poker Player (29 Viewers)

[Anthony Martino]

So after getting stuck 1k with our AAxx losing to JJxx. then getting a third of a half a pot for stacks on my 2nd buyin, I managed to battle back

Left the session +$633 after 8 hours

So the best pro in the room seems to be continuing whatever meltdown he's on.

A few weeks ago I saw him call a 2K river bet on a board with three spades and run into the nut flush (he didn't show)

The very next hand the player who beat him raises to $150 pre, I cold-call and the pro raises the button to $600. The original raiser cold-calls, then I repot to $2,450 and the pro snaps in $1,600 with

Then last week the pro was the one pushing all the straddling action in that crazy 5/5/10 game where I won the massive pot the first hand I played. He was trying to be the largest possible straddle every hand (the first hand we were restraddled to $320!)

Had a buddy say the pro called a 5-bet holding J832 today!

The possibilities of one of the toughest opponents in the game becoming the action player is certainly an interesting one, and could be beneficial for me moving forward if this continues.

Back at it tomorrow!

You’re explaining equity to a person who I’ve known for over 5 years and I’m still not 100% sure the he knows the ranking of hands from one pair to a royal straight flush.

A royal straight flush? Is there more than one way to make a Royal flush?

That was (part of) the joke.

I could be worse

Contractor buddy once rolled his cards over and declared ‘I have a running straight’

we looked at his cards and the board and said where?

QKA23. He said.

he thought the A could connect the high cards to the low.

A buddy of mine did that once too, we have since renamed it "The Dave Straight"

I wonder if he doesn’t have something going on in his life and he’s taking his frustration out on the table. Sounds like self harming behavior that was kicked off by something.

I know he's not immune to tilt, but never seen him play this wild before

Hmm if you know him at all I’d ask. I mean I hate to turn off the money spigot, but maybe just a word from someone that says “I noticed” might help him out a lot.

I already tried last week. Pulled him aside and asked him what was going on, pointed out the KQT2 spew and the crazy $320 restraddle

He blew it off and said nothing was wrong, he was just "advertising" for certain people so he could get into another game

But given how long this has gone on I have my doubts and think something is up. Whatever it is, he doesn't care to share it

Catches and wins lol

 

[Anthony Martino]

They just called the 5/5/10 so shifted there as other gamblers moved

Sounds like he read a book on roulette, lol.

I once played 1¢/2¢ online where I raised every hand to the blackjack value of my hand. No one ever figured it out.

In 1¢/2¢ online poker nobody is trying to get a read on anything other than the 2 cards in their own hand.

...and they call bets like 4 to a flush hits on the river 9/10 times.

You'd think that, but they were all talking about me raising every hand to such weird amounts. And it took a while before they started just calling down. This was on Stars pre black Friday.

How else is he going to pay for his chip habit if he doesn't run pure?

Mr $30 all day has busted three times to the same player, upping his buyin now lol

That's right! Martingale that buy in bro!

 

[bergs]

Increase your buyins to the point they respect your raises. Is not a good strategy. A friend told me.

Maniac finally hits a hand on a J93 rainbow flop with top set.

Runs into the nit with AAT8 and goes once, Ace on river

Maniac said he only goes once unless the pot is 10k

 

[Anthony Martino]

We call button with

Flop

They check to me, I bet pot, original raiser calls

Turn

He bets $375 into me, I call

River

[Anthony Martino]

We checkraise the maniac on a flop of holding from his $50 bet to $250

He thinks, then calls with position.
