Wow you're good.

I read all the thread in one day (2k16 blog too ). It's a great thread and you are a great player.

I'm a mtt reg from Italy. I played 10k games in my life with a good roi.

My abi is 20€ or so.

Now i joined .com and i have some troubles.

At the moment i can play on pokerstars, 888, party and ipoker.

I wuold play 8/10 tables (12 max)..

I'm looking for games with the highest roi (i know hourly is more important than roi, but in this moment of my life i prefer to mantain a roi as high as possible).

My buy in range is 11/33$.
The field is quite soft and at this abi and i can't decid which tourney don't play.

An idea could be to miss the bounty builder.

I started to not play turbo, hyper and 6max, but it's not enaugh

Can you give me some tips to dicede which game don't play?

Ty in advice and sorry for my bad english

exactly

gg urself
didnt have much milch but i believe every poker group i m part of had many many tears
haha cheers
dont play fast paced mtts. play many slow mtts. focus on getting a solid sample of soft games before making drastic adjustments. i agree bounty builders are super soft so gl with them

went to barca, bricked a bunch had a ton of fun and many great foods and came back today to my dearly missed online poker and chopped the top fiddy on wina to make a nice profit as well as making day 2 of winamax main with good stack



couldnt beat a not so great opponent HU, was also super tired so possibly didnt play all that well although i m sure my adjustments were good. sucks when u have to betfold trips headsup tho

back tuesday and then not sure maybe thursday and will do a bunch of study inbetween to prep for insanity month

holla

Right so wasn't able to update much in last two weeks because I was in Barca and off the forums for the majority of it. Barcelona has definitely become a must go stop for me. It's the one place where I don't completely hate life playing live poker, it has amazing food, amazing weather and amazing beaches and j get to see new and old friends like I'm on a school trip. It just all comes together to make for an amazing two weeks. Unlike last year I didn't stay with a group of poker players but rather did a double date airbnb with my gf and her best friend with her bf. turns out I get much more sleep in a house that's quiet after midnight. Who d have thunk it.
I played three timbeys. The 1k Estrella that got 4500 players, the 2k hr and the main event. All mtts that had incredible value looking back. It's hard to imagine any games anywhere outside of Vegas be softer than this. I had whales all day every day in all three. With the help of a new acquaintance I actually quite successfully was able to utilize live reads for the first time as well which added a new layer of depth to what has historically been quite a dull experience with me trying only to not choke on my hyper pulse anytime I m in a hand. Ppl really du give away way too much. Alas, I bricked all three and somehow don't have many interesting hands to report at all. Did make day 2 in the 1k but lost JJ<A3o for itm average stack which stung. Didn't get much of a stack in anything else
Poker wise I think both the vienna crew and the uk crew got very heavily buttfkd actually. Unless one counts dürma binking the last big 10k but while he lives here I m not close with him and everybody who I do count as close has lost brix. Unlucky ppl, there s always wcoop innit

I managed one success while there tho that was way more important:

I (basically) went without smoking. One night I had three drags from a cig and a couple from a shisha when drunk but I ll give myself a pass bc I was wasted when the second happened and I thoroughly didn't enjoy the former.

It's been with some breaks close to 11 months and prior to that about four years of me trying or thinking about quitting smoking and I think I ve finally gotten to a point where without any issues I can call myself a non smoker again. Super happy about that.

Sadly it all went into my belly and I m not the chubbiest I ve been in my life. So after wcoop (bc there just ain't no way during) I ll buckle down and go to town on my working out. Plan is to focus hard on the grind and then reschedule everything and get fit by December and I ll be using this thread to keep track of my weekly progress with nohomo pre and post pix and workout plans etc. it's not gonna be pretty but just like in poker I have hopes that having some kind of audience could just be what in need to succeed in a goal that is important to me on some level but not enough or not in the way that I can achieve without the fear of disappointing others.

Tldr

Cliffs: I can't sleep since returning. Rip

Congrats on leaving the dark side by quitting smoking!

gg Barca and gl+hf upcoming series.
One time for the good guys ️

Must go to barca for the series once, everybody say that its the sec best stop after vegas.

U dont like prague?

cheers actually super happy to finally be able to claim the non smoker badge. prob tried around 8 times in 5 years

vamooo
i ve neevr been to prague. and tbh i dont rly wanna go for poker. its freezing, its live poker, its in december when online games are insanely good. and its live poker.
fk live poker

lescooooo september broskiii

you don't need to go for poker, prague is awesome and beautiful! very romantic city at night too, perfect to take the gf

Prague is awesome, went with 10 mates from work earlier in the year. I'm sure we missed a lot of stuff but got very drunk, played some drunk poker, saw a lot of the sights and floated up and down the river in the sun.

Can't recommend the beer halls with the leaderboards enough.

gg on quit smoking, that is most profitable decision by far. any tips how u did it? wwere u smoking while playing if yes how much etc ? would appreciate some concrete insights if it dont bothers u to talk about it.

i never even tryed ( maybe once ) but was planning to tryhard when series finish in september

yo nice meeting you in barca, been lurking this thread since forever

well done on the quit smoking, it took me about 3-4 tries as well but soo happy i did it.

fkn vamooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
i just interpreted the question as 'u went to psc, barcelona, have u been to prague?'
obv i ll go to prague i jsut said that i d hat eto go in winter for poker bc as i said live poker is aids. i enjoy old beautiful cities tho so i ll end up going there at one point for sure
thanks and as mentioned above i dont need any convincing

hey nice to meet u too bro, sad u didnt get to try the kebab, it was glorious thanks for folowing along and best of luck in the future bro
cheers bro.
as for how much i smoked and when, i def wasnt the biggest smoker, my gf who comes from a chainsmoking family was like 'you smoke??' when i announced i was quitting. i think i went through about half a pack per day on average for most of my smoking years. part of that is bc i lived with my family and was hiding the fact i smoked/had to leave everytime i did, part was that i never smoked inside the house. i ended up on balkonies etc during my poker breaks etc

as for tips.. i m no guru and i never rly followed anybody's advice. what all the times i tried to quit had in common was me gettign sick after another night of drinking coupled with way too many cigarettes. i always got this nasty cough that lasted for a full week or even more. getting that helps setting the mind to 'i rly dont wanna keep putting myself thru this nonsense' oftentimes i just ended up at another party or so smoking again.

the thing that was different now is that i didnt pick up reguar smoking form one of those parties again and got sick after two of those parties almost instantly the day after. so just multiple repeated 'quittings' with no time for the addiction to fully kick in again in between. so i guess jsut keep trying and eventuelly u ll get there. i def had many many weak moments so there s certainly many more effective ways of quitting but lettign urself slip back into it after one weak moment is the one thing u should avoid, as recommended by a fellow poster in this thread actually thanks to whoever said that to me around last autumn, it helped a lot!

More body pics itt!

Shame we didn't drink properly as I was too much of a pussy to come out the last night before my flight back to London!

Care for some friendly fitness wager? Something like who will make more progress fit wise based on pics pre and post or something.

GJ on the pause on the smoking, keep it up!

Smooking is bad, gl with the fitness goals!

Enjoy Wcoop !

played a long one today. wasnt exactly sure as to how to approach the session given that there was a million high value sattelites going all day so gave those priority and skipped a bunch of normal mtts from my schedule to focus on them. won 3x $530 sunday warmup tickets so that worked out decently.

session overall went really well, i had a strethc of like 30 minutes where i lost 4 massive pots itm in some big ones and got a bit mad but after that regained focus and played well imo

managed to make day 2 in the €300 6max championship on winamax with decent chips which is nice and other than winning those seats i mentioned i had a deep run in the $1050 wcoop cashing for 3k and those:





also had this funyn hand to bust 4th in the $44 6max pko on stars:

Flop: (138,000) 4 7 5 (2 players)
meM@nu bets 60,000, Hero raises to 265,153 and is all-in, meM@nu calls 205,153

Turn: (668,306) 5 (2 players, 1 is all-in)
River: (668,306) 6 (2 players, 1 is all-in)

Read through all of it in 1 wash yesterday, pretty nice read. Funny how the overwhelming majority posting here are all Germans, but still every1 writes in English.

Could you expand a little about this:

Also wondering, do you ever order food during your monster seshs? If so, how do you handle it when the guy comes? I mean opening the door, paying him, taking the food... this is costy on the timebanks.

Gratz on the ship, really nice you gottem w/o a deal. Should keep that up...
