The New Alias

i feel like ditchin "portdeco20", just because of the matter of when i win the wsop 2020 i dont want to be known as "portdeco20", i want a name a bit more representative of my play maybe, or to throw people off my way of playing. I want a strong but lyrical nickname, a memorable and sharp alias.

Now im no shakespeare, i dont know fuck all about words and their meanings and its hurting my brain trying to think, firstly of how to properly spell 'properly', and second to come up with a decent name.

I want your suggestions, now these are just a couple that came to my head, bit shit but oh well: "Ultimatum" and "dead card holdings"

any suggestions appreciated and will probably be mentioned in an upcoming post

EDIT:

i come up with a few more after writing the post. Some friends have called me a 'pretty boy' so that why i came up with:

'pretty poker' or 'pretty boi poker'

or else, there is:

'PokerJoker'
'Shark Bait'
'Acy Duecy'
'PokerShadow'
'BigFish'
'Blind Bluff'
'fish hook'
'shark eater'

they are just a few ideas, i really dont know what i fancy at the moment, still looking for ideas, so pitch!

My Tilt Control ;)

In reply to an anomonous comment on my last post, i start low, i get unlucky and bored and want to up the stakes so i play too high for my bankroll.

Here is the best solution i can come up with, the next passage will be read anytime i feel myself goin on tilt, its to help maintain good play and to prevent tilt =) i try my best


As a game of both luck and skill, poker can offer limitless moneymaking opportunities, but can also be a rollercoaster ride ride of ups and downs that pushes your abilities and nerves to their limits.
Poker is an alluring mixture of luck and skill that makes for an exciting experience. whether you are playing or just watching. The really great thing about it compared to say, chess snooker, or even football is that for limited periods, anyone can win. We see newcomers beating pro's or triumphing a big tournement and walking away with huge prizes.
But, if you've played poker for any lenght of time, then you'll be aware that the downside is that you can get extremely unlucky for seemingly extraordinary periods of time, perhaps week or even months, and you will never really reach an even keel, as the swings go back and forth continuously.
Whatever level of involvement in poker you decide upon-from weekly home game, to full-time-pro, your nerves and abilities are going to be tested, and perhaps pushed beyond their limits at various points in your playing career when things go badly. Of course, if things go better thean average then your main problem might be an inflated ego and estimation of your abilities, which can also be a problem as things start to even out!

No player is immune from goin on 'tilt', its the better players/ more successful players that learn to handle it better than others and lose the minimum.

This is going to help me, and i hope you too =)

Another Example of where I Outplay My opponent And Get Unlucky

$1/$2, i call a raise with AJ, flop is A-J-X and i check raise him all in, he calls and he turns A10, i double my $40 buy in. The next hand He raises again, and i call with AJ suited, flop comes 10-J-X and he checks, i knew he would re raise if it looked like i was stealing so i bet big, i bet $16 into $22, and indeed, he pushed, and i called, he turned AK and the queen came on the river, the $80 ws gone. I bought in for another $40 and get A10, i raise and there is one caller, Flop is K-J-X and he leads out $12, i knew he hadnt hit that flop or he would check raise/call, unless he had a small pair and would fold to a raise, so i pushed, he called with Q10 and the ace hits. So my rolls basically gone, $8 left, its fukin shit, i hate poker at the moment! I can't catch a break. No faith what so ever in my hands anymore

Pure Grindage

That $21 i put into cash soon went when i had a straight and flush draw but didnt hit, i left it there. The night after i played 6-7 mtt's which didnt go particularly well, lost quite a bit of my bankrol on stars and full tilt. Im keeping my stars account mainly for tourneys and my tilt account for cash, i prefer it that way.

Yesterday lost quite a bit on cash and went down to $199 in full tilt. This morning it picked up a bit, i lost my first $10 to a bad beat but started grinding my next $10 well.

I did get very lucky when i won a $20 pot all in pre flop AK vs AA, i hit trips lol. I then won another big pot QQ vs 1010. But the rest i had grinded out for 2 hours, i ended up cashing out at around $83, so a nice profit for the roll.
