Yeah, "oCam" does its job just fine, but I need to open "Task Scheduler" to manually disable and delete unnecessary "oCam" related tasks every time software update is installed. I also need to open "Task Manager" to terminate unwanted background processes after closing "oCam." That just bugs me.

You should never install anything - with optioning out being there or not - which contains side softwares, minerbots, toolbars etc. Free software should not mean trap. Rather pay something for a software which does not do this with you or use something else with less malicious additions.

Get an old version of oCam. I have 91.0 for example. Disconnect from the internet, do the installation, and after the installation is over, put a rule into your firewall to forbid all connections of the program. Then reconnect to the internet. It wone be able to update.

There will be a stream tonight, starting sometime within the next hour. I'll be playing some Micro MTT games, only $0.22 buy-in. If I remember correctly, there are 2 of these games that I can play tonight. Tune in if you're interested
------------ Disapointing session. I was in a good position to get ITM in one of the MTTs but my AK got busted against Qx who caught a flush. Total loss ended up at $0.61 so better luck tomorrow I guess...

It's incredible how many stupid donks there are who keep getting paid for their bad plays... And I can't catch a break these last 2 days, non of my hands won on flips and when it actually mattered I got knocked out with the better hand, but in true fashion I got outdrawn on the river.

i know what you mean. And the most annoying thing is, when you lose one such hand over another against them. And when at some point you are trying to "copy" them, you just lose that hand also Just dont get disappointed. Your time will come

Yeah well, I'll get another chance tonight. Stream will start in about 3 hours, give or take a half an hour. Hoping to reach at least a min cash otherwise it'll have been a very disapointing weekend...
------------ Sorry, no stream tonight. technical difficulties.

Overall you should be okay because on the long run you will be feast on these donkadonks more times than not, but yeah, for a short period it could be frustrating. Keep calm

Yeah I kept getting screwed over today... Every single time that the cards were shown preflop or on the flop, I was ahead. And every single time that hand had some real significance, I was ahead but lost on the river. Apparently I'm making the correct moves since I am ahead when the cards are shown, I'm just extremely unlucky at the moment...
Hell, today was worse then the past 2 days, I just wanna scream and throw my laptop through a f*cking window!!!! Good thing I have dicipline enough to shut it down, otherwise I would have gone on major tilt and lost way more.

Screaming is ok. Throwing the laptop through a window is expensive. Especially when the window is closed You are having you bad days it seem, Soon the wheel will turn and you will start winning again. Good luck on you next sessions.

Well according to erru : "you should be able to find me under the same username at the famous streaming platform that starts with a T "
I did a search with the same nickname in twitch but i could find only someone that ha videos with bikes. No poker related videos My bad. I just clicked on the nickname and now i can see the poker videos. So thats the twitch name also... erru9107

You got it Mober Those are some very old videos from when I was doing some Speedrunning and actually got a few World Records. I'm gonna do some changes to the channels design and content, I just need to get the energy to actually make something happen
You should tune in to my stream, I'm doing quite good in a $100 GTD Bounty game. I've knocked out one person so $0.05 recovered from the huge buy-in of $0.22
------------ I'm now leading that bounty! $0.22 buy-in, I've earned $0.40 from bounties so it's at least $0.18 profit. And if I don't get ITM now I really need to take a good look at my game...
------------ Ended up in 3rd place. The last number of hands didn't work out for me at all. I'm kinda disappointed at the same time as I'm happy with this result. $9.02, bounties included, from a $0.22 game isn't too bad. A total profit of $8.36 on the day and my bankroll now sits at $29.73 so that's good.
I also have a $5.50 ticket for a PLO tournament but I have no idea at all how to play that game profitably. I've never liked that format at all but I guess I have to give it a shot now! Even a minimum cash on that MTT would give my bankroll a significant boost.
------------ I'm gonna save that ticket until tuesday, then I can play a KO-series MTT which has much better prices! And the potential to knock out people and earn even more from that ticket is really tempting. But we'll see, I've got literally no experience what so ever in that game. Any advice would be appreciated!
------------ Okey, never mind, apparently I can use that ticket on Texas Hold'em as well so that's what I'm gonna do! But I'll still save it until the KO-series starts
------------ I've decided to make a stream tonight as well, hoping to get yet another final table! I've been close to winnings twice now within a few weeks even tho I've faced some bullsh!t so I feel that I certainly have an edge on the average player at this stake. Sooner or later I'll get a win! Hopefully during the KO-series where the prizepool is much higher and I have a free $5.50 ticket!

Crap day, lost $0.61 today. Better luck tomorrow I guess. I just wasn't feeling it tonight, felt somewhat distracted after playing for like 30 minutes so not all that surprising that I went out really.
------------ There will be a stream starting in a few minutes. The exact time will depend on when I'm done with the dishes.

Time for a stream tonight! It'll start sometime around 22:00 BRM time. I will be playing at least 2 MTTs, one $5.50 KO and one $1.10 KO. I might be playing a couple of $0.22 MTTs as well but that depends on my form for the day and of I feel like it.
Please tune in and give me a follow
------------ Technical difficulties prevented me from stream. A shame really since I cashed in both games I played. A min cash in both, but since I only paid for one of them it's fine.

Not that a minimum cash is something that anyone is after when playing poker, but it is way better than not getting paid at all By paying only for the one tournament entry, means that you probably made some profit there Congratulations for your finishes, with better luck next time.

Yeah you're right, a min cash is nothing to aim for. I did however get a good profit for the day, $8.48 which gave my bankroll a significant boost. I now need less then $20 to start playing at the $0.55 level. I can only hope that by the end of the year, I'm able to play the $5.50 games!
Last year I made $73 profit which honestly is a very low amount. I'm sure that number is gonna be a lot higher this time around. For starters, I have more time now then I did before and unless something special happens I'm gonna be able to play for the full 12 months. Also, I've already made about $15 so far after less then 3 weeks time. And with the increased bankroll comes the higher stakes which in turn gives more profit.
I don't know, I guess time will tell but I've got a really good feeling about this year!

I've been having some issues lately with my setup, the stream doesn't seem to be coming through like it should so I'm working on fixing that problem. But some streaming wouldn't hurt this weekend! I'll keep you updated on any developents and I will tell you guys first if a planed stream is about to start! When I'm working on this, I might as well put some effort into getting some music running in the background.
