Have you been to Malta before? I guess so, in which case ignore this.
Yeah been twice this year and really enjoyed it. Would be sweet to stay out there I think.

Ha, I can see why one would think that but we had a great relationship. It's just time is all! The poor triplets.
I was busy all day today so no time for poker. Tried to get into the games there but zero motivation whatsoever tonight. Gonna play retro Sega games all night instead. Got two poker buddies very keen to move to Malta if their circumstances are okay in September-ish, we'll see what develops in the next week or so and take it from there
Also 5 weeks today til I can get back onto Stars!!
Don't even wanna look at my graph today. "Look at me I ran so bad" HHs incoming. Didn't play particularly well today, some HHs are a bit meh, but fk me so much runbad! Also got slowrolled for stacks by regs twice today, utter ****s.

Ok that'll suffice. I feel better after that if the next 10 posts itt could be 'omg so sick' that would be most delightful.
Did a big chop yesterday and got a bit of MU after today. Hopefully getting decent chunks of RB in this day next week, the aim is to just grind back to even so I can enjoy the rakebacky goodness next week.
I know it's vs a whale, I'm not being a dick just giving gazzy some friendly criticism. It will be hard for us to realize equity with our exact hand oop vs a spewtards if he is . I could be wrong here also but just my 2 cents . Love me some gazzy
Think the A5 is probably a fold ott, just annoying that I do call and get that river. Big thanks to errybody who "omg so sicked". Also Blakkman is that German for omg so sick? If so, gtfo; 'Murican only itt!
I barely played today but took a few hits and just gave up...

The only hand I won. Min 3bettor is a big fish again, other guy is my 100nl nemesis. I shudder to think how in pieces my life would be just now if he'd rivered a club

Gonna get back to work tomorrow, and work hard. Moved into a place of my own but no internet for 2 weeks, so back and forth from my parents' to grind just now. Gotta be done!
Ty bruv. I think had I not been running badly I would've certainly raised with KJ.
I've played very little in the last few days, been out and about all weekend enjoying my new found bachelorism. Just bribed the Indian guy that lives underneath me for his wifi passcode. No more excuses now, gotta get this volume up!
Solid session, got a bit tilty at the end so just gave up. Grinding it out at 50 for a few days to rebuild roll/confidence until my monthly RB comes in. My aim to rake €9k is way behind the pace, still an outside chance but for 3 more days it'll be more about winrate than volume.

That'll do. Absolutely love living by myself, got 1 or 2 poker buddies keen for living abroad with me in a few months, so gonna hang around until then and then look into it. Life is good
How do u not size bigger flop+turn in h2 w KK vs a fish? Seems a bit too "lazy" clicking 1/2 pot twice when there is so much value and we're deep. Also don't think we should be folding riv after x'ing even tho he pots it.
Don't like the 4b at all, even with reads. I'd rather let him continue spewing and remove some 4b/bluffs, than showing this hand down (i assume you were 4b/calling ?) and letting villain adjust.

Was a few days ago now but I think the sizing is indicative of how meh I had been running. I was deep and oop on a £ table and I would've probably blown up a hospital had I got stacked. Whilst it's definitely not good practice to alter your sizings because "he probably has a set AGAIN" it still factored my decision.

As played, postflop is kinda cool though.
He had been 3b'ing me all session so given we're btn vs sb I was finally happy to have something I could 4b/c with. I had decided that 88 was the smallest pair I'd 4b/c with but he was legit non stop 3b'ing these positions and I had 77 so **** him
Things have been rough the past couple of days, and volume has been minging. No way am I gonna be able to rake €9k this month, barring a minor miracle. Stars might have to wait til September. Fortunately I played fairly well today, and didn't have any coolers against. The only stacks I lost were bad bluffs vs people who weren't gonna fold, but happy to have a winning session! Will play a little 50 again tomorrow and jump back into 100 again in the afternoon. I'm still mindful of wanting to shot 200 soon.
Month so far, had so much promise wrt volume & winnings, but hey ho
Can't be fkd posting hands, you'll just have to imagine my spewy goodness.
