Lately ive been feeling pretty bad for my room mate. Him and I have been grinding for a while now, both with a little bit of success. The difference between us is that I play cash games and he is a donkament player. To his own admission he would probably say he got pretty lucky back in the day when he had two pretty big scores.Since then hes managed to do alright and make ends meat. Lately tho he has been hitting a pretty big rough patch over the past 5 months or so I would say but he is absolutely convinced that it is just a bad run of cards. I am not so sure though.
I dont know how he does it but he still only 1 tables mtt's or sngs, and doesnt use a hud and hes been playing over 4 years probably now. Personally this just sounds so tedious and I would have probably jumped off my balcony a long time ago if I had to do this. He also goes on the sickest tilt I have ever seen. Im not even kidding. I know every time he loses a big pot when Im in my room grinding because I can hear him SCREAMING f bombs etc. He also does the old tilt chat too which is pretty amusing. Id say he has Phil Hellmuth traits haha. Its true though.
So anyways I know his roll is getting really really low and I want to help him out because I think thats what a good friend does but I honestly dont even know if its worth it or what to do anymore because he is just so stubborn and has a huge ego. I have tried telling him everything and anything I can to help him. You name it, Ive probably tried. Still though he doesnt listen because like I said, he thinks he is the best player out there and its just a bad run of cards.

but yeh, he might be a loser lifetime. If he had success 4 years ago he probably hasnt kept up with other players increasing skill level. There are alot of MTT resources out there for people, + HUD and tiny volume/giant variance hes probably fighting a losing battle and hes getting crushed psychologically. |

this is exactly what ive been saying for the longest time.
like i said though, the problem is not his game. he is just unlucky. cant convince him otherwise because he thinks its insulting. |

Tell him to take a leap of faith, buy holdem manager and *gasp* play TWO tables at the same time. |

I met someone who pretty much exactly fits your description (pretty sure its not the same person). Luckboxed a donkament at some point, 1 tables without hud etc. I watched him play and talked poker with him and he was simply not a good poker player. This guy also was completely immune any thought that his game might be weak or need improvement. This is likely the situation your friend is in.
If you really try to approach this issue and he just rejects you out of ego and shit repeatedly.. there isn't much you can do and tbh unless you know he has another way to pay the rent I'd look for a new roomate or a new place to move. |

I think it'll be easier to find a new roommate  . Someone 1-tabling MTT's in the same apartment than me would tilt me. |

He's developed some extremely bad habits that will b very hard to break. He might be a lost cause. You're not his mom don't pressure him to change though. |

how do you tilt when you 1table?
he may be really unlucky, but that doesn't matter. can't 1 table and tilt. totally unprofessional, and is a pretty big deal in regards to how much u win |
