THE FINAL MELTDOWN as the 10NL Challenge Comes to an END?! | Top 10 Poker Hands Ep. 69

- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- After taking endless savage beatings and ignoring my emotions for too long, it was finally time to bring the 10NL Challenge to an end.
As you will have been able to tell, I've mostly tried to make light of my misfortune over the course of the challenge, but it was slowly taking its toll and could take no more. I've left in the entire monologue after the final, quite poetic hand that pushed me over the edge.
Thanks for everyone's support and pushing me to get this far! But it's over...........................................for now.
All the hands that you see in Top 10 Hands Of The Week from the $1,000 10NL Challenge are played live on my Twitch poker channel. If you want to see it live then make sure you drop me a follow so you know when I'll be playing! / eastyyy22
Thanks again for all the support!

“I want you to know, I’m dead here, and I know it”
-what a beautiful metaphor for the challenge
Haha certainly has an air of poetry to it.
Im glad this is finished so we can finally start the nl5 challenge, I want to see you fight some Belarusian nit who is literally playing for his life
His mate weasel did give up already few weeks ago maybe a heads up challenge see who stops playing first
Don't tempt me
You did great in this challenge! You were up over 50 buyins! That’s better than most could ever dream! Thank you for doing this. It helps to see the pain I feel isn’t unusual. Best of luck.
Thanks a lot man!
‘For you sick bastards’ 😭🤣😭
If I've learnt anything it's that 😂
"The only winning move is not to play...poker". Kudos on making it this far, lad. What a ride.
Thanks mate!
Solid effort bud.
Many would have fucked it off a long time ago.
Mental health above all fella, hold your head up, nothing to prove.
Would love to see a heads up battle challenge against that child Weazel 🤣
Always enjoy the content 👍
Thanks a lot! Haha maybe we can arrange that some time. I'd be game!
the flowers stream was too funny. Thanks for entertaining us with your pain :D
Haha might have to bust them out again soon
The zen music + flowers + soft speaking stream still my all time fave
With how you've been running vs me I'm gonna need it again
Thanks so much for trying Nick, it’s a tough game to beat. The rake is too high :/
100 & 200 however is full of crushers and super swingy, needs a solid redline too. Looking forward to your future streams 🙏
Thanks mate! Honestly it's only the challenge that makes me feel like this, I have quite a good time dusting off money higher 😂
I play most of my volume on apps actually, 50/100 & 200 nl deep in some wild swingy games. It’s not your usual poker site setup and you can only 3 table but the bb/100 is at 15++ and it makes it all worthwhile. If you or any of your crusher friends are interested. I know you’re sponsored too but just throwing that out there 🙏 good luck
Which sites you play?
@@svenpupavac8075 in some private clubs on phone apps mostly.
Does anyone know where I can buy the "I've dusted it all off" T-shirt. Would love to buy one, quality bants at the live tables
I actually have like 1 or 2 I think, message me on Discord!
Take some time off man I’m sure you will get the itch to play again. I’ve tried playing full time, I don’t know how some people do it. I take 3 months off every now and then and always come back stronger! Have really enjoyed this series. You’re a more mentally strong man than I am putting in 120k hands at these abysmal stakes haha. This isn’t a failure it’s been a great journey one you may or may not revisit and one that has provided thousands of us with top quality entertainment. Please do more live hand analysis, punt or no punt, Bean live plays - I’ve watched all of them countless times. Good luck and see you soon man!
Really appreciate this mate, thanks a lot! The content will keep coming, glad to have you along.
Can someone please explain to me his main complaints with the player pool at 10nl?
they tank and shove 200bb over 32bb preflop opens
You should just open to 32 BB with KK and AA then lol. If it happens EVERY SINGLE time. You should try it some time. Once you do, and they see you turn it over, it won't happen anymore.
Ive been feeling the pain that you experienced here last few months not sure what's a big sample size but I must be running way under EV last 10k hands. I reach boiling point regularly how do you control your emotions?
How do I control my emotions? Have you ever watched my content? 🤣🤣
@@eastyyy22 🤣🤣 I
Yes i meant afterwards I'm fuming for hours and replaying hands in my head. Today for example I had muppets giving me there money pumping in 100+bb I've got aces he's got 75 suited and bangs off a rivered straight. Took a while to cool off 😂
Gg's Nick. It was fun while it lasted (for us not you). So long and thanks for all the fish.
GGs man, but I'll be back I reckon 😅
Been looking forward to Ep 69 for awhile now… sad it had to be like this lol. You’ve been extremely entertaining to say the least and whenever I get fucked by some bullshit I just watch these Top 10 hands videos.
Take a break from 10NL lol.
It's just how ep 69 should be! Glad you've enjoyed them lad, hope you'll keep watching even if I don't get fucked and moan about it 😅
@@eastyyy22 I’ll keep watching, don’t worry. One of the best parts of online poker is the ability to bitch and moan about everything that doesn’t go your way lol
Where can I see your graph for the challenge??
I'll probably put another up soon!
What does a 32 bb open defence range look like 👍
Guess we will never know lol
@@eastyyy22 I bluffed the shit out of you there
GG, looking forward to a top10 compilation of the whole challenge haha
Nice job mate, this stakes are mental warfare, it was a wild ride and u fought hard, probably like doug polk said ,streaming and playing is fun but it's not a very good idea.
I wish you the best and i hope i will see you in PS tournament witch i think they are way more profitable
Thanks my friend, appreciate that!
Hey, man. 3.5bb/100 in a high rake zoom tables is good! You did very well. GL on your next goals!
Thanks man!
Lol Meltdown. Maybe Bojo should tap Nick for England's heating needs this upcoming winter. The boy is STEAMING
Nice run. Enjoyed the videos. Thanks for the content. GL
Thanks a lot mate!
GG & GL
Good luck man loved ur content ! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 thank you
thanks a lot man!
Can’t wait to see U play 50. With your skill level and a ability u will crush 50. Good luck !!!
Thanks!!
Best of luck I enjoyed the content. Definitely improved my sundays !
It'll keep coming mate, I just won't be as miserable (hopefully). Thanks for watching.
Nice episode 69. Anyway hopefully we will see more of this I know it’s been tough.
Oh it'll be back...
@@eastyyy22 look forward to the Sheer bin people will be put in
I totally understand your reasoning but as someone with a tiny bankroll and will have to build myself up through the ranks without being able to play higher…it seems basically impossible for me to do that if both you and Mark have failed the challenge when you’re both much better than me :/
To be honest, we are playing under very different parameters. It became quite clear very early that our viewers weren't going to allow us to have a normal bankroll challenge environment, and to be fair that is something we should have foreseen. We are both mentally fragile children playing in a ridiculous set of circumstances, was just inevitable! You can absolutely reach your goals mate, keep going!
Felling the same way, it was so inspiring in the very beginning of both those challenges, and then the reports became less detailed and rare and it all went downhill from there(
But the bottom line is this - if people who are as good as you and Mark can't beat 10nl then it's literally impossible
@@artemkorolev2257 No because theory goes out the window in these stakes and you need to adjust and fold TPTK when fish start piling money in and be more conservative with stacks. It's just too much theory based decisions and not enough realism. I don't know why Easty has to overthink all these hands and get massively tilted so much. Some donkey flops a set on A high board and just rips it in guys it's not hard to figure this out and fold. If you never call in this spot you'd be better off. I don't know why people who do and fail bankroll challenges like this can't get the psychological side of it and fold. People aren't bluffing at these stakes. I have beat these stakes and you need to fold to min clicks on turns with no redraws. Just putting in stacks way too liberally "because I'm supposed to call here". Why are you supposed to call? Why must you follow through bluffing on river? The players in this pool are just calling off all the time with worse. You make money at these stakes by giving bad odds to call vs their drawing ranges and going for thin value on rivers. You don't make money at these stakes by calling off bluffs or having any bluffs at all. Infact if you just literally never bluffed or called off a single river at these stakes you'd be better off. Play more tables, be more selective and put in more volume to have better showdowns than the fish. Simple as that! But nah m8 chart says I need to be 3 betting some % here or calling this river with this blocker. Just believe the fish they will tell you what hand they have with their bets and LISTEN
@@gach3t i am with you on most of that, and yes you don’t need nor rng or gto to play those stakes, but it’s looking ugly for all of us losers playing micros, because I have never seen any challenge like that completed, and there plenty of them youtube, amd here we are, another failed attempt
@@artemkorolev2257 i know 1 month ago so might not be related but go search for the Kalthor dude made bankroll challenge 50$ to 100.000$ within 2 months(he had some luck with winning big tournament at the end), grinding mostly R&C in GG starting from 2/5nl and he literally crushed it. Most of a time doing what was written in a comment above, that is exactly how you beat low stakes, playing tight, aggressive, overfolding, under bluffing turns/rivers and most important discipline - this is the biggest factor you can have RNG or fancy GTO which is great when you’re higher but at the bottom stakes just find fold when someone is raising and just believe that’s the way of beating it, it’s boring as fuck but you know, everyone is looking for a golden solution when in fact stake is beatable by really basic SOLID stuff avoiding anything fancy or to complicated
Now i feel like today is the end of Game of Thrones series
season 8 sucked
Sad you called it the day. The top 10 hands was a very entertaining format. I hope you come back with something similar in the future. Can I ask what was your win-rate before rake? If rake is like 8 bb/100 and you beat the pool by 5bb/100 it was doomed from day one anyways.
I have recently just came across your videos and have found them thoroughly entertaining. What stakes do you normally stream at? So far I have only seen 10NL challenge videos
I was thinking the other day, do you enjoy playing? And if its just stressful and frustrating, and destroys your mood, (which is why i stopped playing) then what’s the point?
Higher levels at least your playing for money.
Anything less than 50nl is just for fun and if its not fun🤷♂️
The point was to complete something I challenged myself to, which is why I still have an itching feeling to get this done somehow.
Your a little too emotionally invested in every hand and I did the same thing for a long time. You can change the way you think and play with some coaching and I believe you can win at a high rate. Poker is always explained in ranges and bet sizes and positions, but the most important part of poker is picking your spots where your equity is so staggering, you know you win 70%+. Stop picking mediocre spots to get called by two pair or straits. Squeezing out 8-10Bb per 100 on every hand just isn't possible.
dunno if i told you about the time i snap folded a flush vs your boat
yeah mate you told the whole table
@@eastyyy22 😂
"He's not an agressive 4 better". Managed to 4bet J8s oop and get there...
he's not an aggressive 4 better _so far_
69 episodes of pain... respect to you lad! On to bigger and better things (live vlogs etc :D)
Ohhh baby give it to me
Not sure how you aren't crushing this level
No problem dude.do what you enjoy
Thanks man!
so... are you back? 😄
never left lad
I mean the difference between 50 NL and 10 NL in terms of overall skill is not much at all. I’ve spent equal time on both pools ACR. 50 NL is no different in my experience.
Man I get your frustration, but do you think this will not happen at larger stakes?
It will, but it just doesn't annoy me. I don't feel frustrated when I lose higher, at least no where near as much. It's just that challenge man, that damn challenge.
@@eastyyy22 haha I get you, man I think most of us really understand the frustration, cuz microstakes are just a shit show. Take care of yourself, and best of luck in your next challenge..whatever that may be
@@eastyyy22 You haven't played enough then! 😂
Hi nick. Don’t let it get you down. You did your best that’s all anyone can do.
Thanks a lot man, appreciate that
You don't enjoy winning? Now I'm genuinely confused. I get it if you don't enjoy winning from being lucky, but you don't enjoy winning from outplaying people either? Even from binning Widgy?
It was a long process of being ground down, the losing happened earlier so I was less jaded. By the time I was winning I was exhausted from it.
You did great, variance is hard but 3.5bb/100 is great result! Considering high rake atmosfere you did awesome 👍
+ your poker content is really entertaining, best I have seen man. GL with your future goals.
Much appreciated my man!
3:38 Top set?
Good luck getting soulcrushed at 50NL+
See you soon at 10nl again soon
give it to me
Gg. I enjoyed the pain ngl
Haha thanks man
Aroma here! Good for you Nick quitting this one!! Keep your head up and looking forward to more meltdowns at higher stakes!! :) ;)
Hey man! Thanks a lot, appreciate it. Hope you're good.
@@eastyyy22 All great man, 2nd came in end of June, will pick up poker towards eoy with my same shenanigans, might do a 2nl challange myself :))) Good luck at the tables where u deserve to be!
Awesome to hear, congratulations man! Enjoy the time with family and looking forward to seeing you back on the streets soon
@@eastyyy22 😜 much love! cant wait!
People fail challenges all the time and they move on. Make a new challenge that excites you and encourages you to get better. If you passed or failed the old challenge, who cares. It's all about the next one.
Happy Sunday! 500NL challenge instead?!
Happy Sunday mate! Not so much 😅
RIP 🪦 10NL challenge
if you added up all the times you've said "I know i'm dead here but I have to shove" when you have top pair, and you folded instead of shoving, you probably would have got to 1k by now.
Nah I'm good
10nl is the fishiest out the bottom 3
This game must be supposed to be played by robots. As human it's pretty tough to deal with. So whatever makes you happy
14:45 It's starting!!!!!
I didn’t get why are you quiting, people tank against you? What can happen here that won’t happen 50NL?
A few more actual human beings and infinitely less people winning with 62o and 72o.
@@eastyyy22 You saying there's bots at 10nl?
@@Charlie_Ses no, it's a weazel saying that people playing 21/1/1 aren't proper human beings. I failed in my implementation of it!
So you can’t win a 100 buy ins at NL10 that’s disappointing let’s see if you can do it at NL50 personally I don’t see any reason why that would be more easy but I am just a 100 buy in winner at NL10
Wise decision, Nick. I always enjoyed your game and I learned a lot from it. But when you don´t enjoy the game, it is time to stop it. Nice run and thanks a lot for all this video´s.
Completely agreed lad, thanks a lot! Appreciate you watching and commenting.
What about a 16nl challenge?!
It's a shame you didn't set yourself a $500 10nl challenge instead.
Imagine it being a misclick that pushed you over the edge lol. I misclick shoved all-in pre-flop once for 120bbs at 25nl with J6o and got called by AQo and lost......I felt pretty damn pathetic then too.
You should be proud of how far you got, you showed it is possible to beat 10NL despite the horrific bad beats which seem part and parcel of everyone's game. But you beat it over a reasonable sample, so kudos to that.
Good luck at higher stakes, my own view is that if you're gonna make money playing poker you need to get to 200nl as fast as possible. Anything lower and it just doesn't seem worthwhile?
Haha yeah I'd have completed that! Tbh it's less important since my income isn't poker winnings, and I just wanted to give myself a challenge to complete. It still doesn't sit right that I haven't finished it, so who knows...
I see 2 things here. 1st you ARE beating this pool you have a 3-4bb/100 wr anyone who says otherwise is trying to get to you. 2nd you are clearly being affected negatively by this. In conclusion do whatever the fuck you like. People take your content for granted when we should be so grateful for what you do for the community. Sheers, looking forward to 50nl streams!
I know what you feel brow, its very special nl10 it is not like nl5, nl2 or nl25 ist stressing, because always you pay lose , the solution its very easy over folding , and you're pay so much nl10 its about of fold , and pacient.
Nl50 is just as Bad on 888, some dude knocked me out of a 33 euro tourney today after calling 300 bb preflop with 69off
What about 1000$ at NL5? You would blow through that one in 6 months. Seriously.
no ty
Gotta look out for #1 man. We just want you to be happy at the end of the day. Doesn't matter the stakes you're playing!
Appreciate it man. Looking forward to having some drinks soon!
Maybe the point wasn't to beat the challenge, the real treasure was the getting dunked on by 72o along the way!
You're probably not far off here haha
that first hand you should know. also that flop isn't top set.
"i didnt know the player pool would be like this"
i dont know (i mean i kinda do) but if you cant handle the 10nl pool.
it is not going to be easier. players are not going to make it easier or more comfortable for you on higher stakes... right now there is no money on the line...
imagine how much more difficult the same expierence will be when there is actual money on the line...
I am mostly referring to the fact that pool size increases 4-fold if I start playing, full of people determined to make my life hell. I wanted to do a challenge that was replicable for any player, and this became a challenge I just didn't imagine it would be. If I restart it, it will be with that caveat.
@@eastyyy22 i get that. but people who are "determined to make your life hell" are actually boosting your winrate because they are deviating from optimal by quite a bit. yes it is not easy to handle the downswings and these "morons". but handling the guys who are not morons, handling the guys that are not making obvious ev mistakes but who spot your ev /betsize mistakes and constantly put you in spots, they are much more difficult to handle.... i am not saying continue with the challenge... just saying there are lot of excuses that are not helping you with getting to the next level.
Bet bet bet fold.
Micro stakes sorted. I'm joking but......
....but you're not 😂
@@eastyyy22 lol - sometimes it feels like a useless pursuit, studying poker, playing the micros. The hardest part for me is multiway pots. You raise massive in the BB and get five callers.....for example. Stick to £1k NL and you'll be fine.
You're too good for NL10 mate, you haven't got anything to prove. Enjoy NL50!
Thanks a lot mate!
addiction hurts man... if you're losing just stop.... We know u wont though hehe
you know it lad haha
You can't learn GTO or try, unless you out their pre flop charts into the solver. Play TNL and don't shove without the nuts.
Quitter
So you can't beat 10 NL ?!?
up to you to decide, was winning at 3.5bb when I quit
just keep making content.
I will mate! Thanks a lot.
@@eastyyy22 good lad! I don't care which stakes your playing, I just enjoy the content. I found your channel after stumbling across Weazel1991's channel, and I have enjoyed both so much and learned a lot. I should join Twitch really and watch you guys stream live... anyway, I look forward to the next video and the next challenge. Cheers bro :)
*Solemnly* nice 😔
nice.
Only talking about running bad, every single time. The worst thing though is the way you talk about the other players. Maybe that's what people like this days. Just hearing someone complaining all the time and insulting the other players.
You probably need a brake mate. If you dont enjoy it anymore then quit your challenge but you should think about new content and bring some new and better wibes for the future
Already took the break mate! Thanks.
It’s your fault for playing loose post flop against nits

Nah honestly, I think ending challenge is good. You’d have completed it regardless, you’re obviously beating the stake. when you set the goal it was ages ago, it’s out of date to your current situation. Have fun make a new goal
Thanks mate, I agree! New things coming soon 👍
