Yes, I will stop getting stacks in with my opponent having less than 20% equity, what was I thinking?

Well, technically, you were thinking “this drooler is going to get stacks in with less than 20% equity BINGO BONGO BA—….wait, Vince, how did he get there?!??”
(Looks woefully at midget stripping stage as he trudges out to give the good people of Central Florida what they really want)
See. You get it. Bingo bongo!!!!
You keep "justifying" your plays by showing the equity calculation for the exact hand your opponent has.
Shouldn't you be calculating vs range?
Versus a specific hand is more of a bad beat post than a strategy discussion.

I'm posting my journey playing for a living, not every post I share is going to be strategy-centric
I mean, you could say it's strategy centric. Don't play 9743 no suits preflop, don't call a pot sized bet from one of the tighter players on an AT8 two club flop and then call a pot bet again on the brick turn
It's ok to call a raise with 7653 double suited pre against the tight players obvious aces when you have position. But on a rainbow A93 flop when the tight player goes all-in and a player between you calls, fold your bottom pair, you are praying for runner-runner quads, runner-runner spades (non nut) or runner-runner straight.
Don't chase runner-runner for stacks. But if you do, at least have the courtesy to miss

You could just call timeout with 38 seconds left - especially when the tie gets you exactly what you want

Posting a blocked YouTube video doesn't help

Having followed Anthony for 177 pages, I can certainly say that I do not agree with a number of his decisions.
However, I can also say that I have met Anthony. He does not come from a massive bankroll of expendable money. Yet here we are, 2 years later, and Anthony has still not gone back to the 9-5 working-man job.
He has a nice car (sometimes it has wheels). He had a gym membership, until the gym burned itself down. He has faced down known cheats, and still booked wins, without speaking a word of Spanish.
...and trust me, ain't nobody paying to see Anthony on a stripper's stage, unless it's part of a vaudeville comedy act.
So until someone else starts a "Journey as a poker pro" thread, please keep your attacks on his play to a minimum.
Unless he is potting
, because that shit is just whack.

The flop was Q76 rainbow against a maniac.
I have 20 outs twice (or 4 times if we run twice) and that is assuming my checkraise is even called, given the maniac bet and got callers inbetween
I still stand by this play. But ty for all the kind things said
I love that hand. Big pair, double suited, st8 draws. What’s not to love?

Especially if you can isolate with dead money for stacks. Rarely in bad shape

We flop a set of Kings vs a guy who hits a set of Jacks on a KJ5 two club flop. We pot, two callers
Turn 5, we check, he bets and we just call, then lead the river, he stacks off. Up $400

BB (best pro in room) makes it 75, we pot to $250, he just calls
Flop
He pots and we fold. He shows top 2 pair
