yeah i have a kind of love hate relationship with zoom nl or plo
doing ok at nl 500 when i play in the zone but i have several tilt sessions where i have dropped a tonne of buy ins . cant be good, still up after 130k hands somehow but i think i will try concentrate on mtts/ small stakes cash until i feel more comfortable with my game
just getting a new computer built, think gone overboard getting 128gb of ram for pio solver (dont even think it will run preflop that quick for solving )
about monitors , im looking at getting two of these but with limited desk space this might be an issue
do you think one 34 and a smaller one for the side would be ok? pretty anal in that i like two of the same especially resolution wise
so today is the $215 turbo pko shootout so i think i will get ready and play a session today. should probably get everything sorted with new computer set up but with it being tcoop and me being a massive punter i dont think i can resist :P
Such a tilting session. Was 1 tabling b.750 for eternity and was 1/10. Obv lose two flips and im ss going into ft and ofc 9th.
So i was fuming cause i had a ddos attack too which has been happening a few times this past week.
So of course i tilt loaded 2 tables 500 plo and 500nl.
Think i lost a buy in at nl but won 5 buy ins at plo 500z. This is my problem tho when i bust for a needless cash like that i auto jump into the pools. Tired after playing a 7.50 bowl for 8 houra straight. Really need to get a new ip address but means changing providers maybe. Im gonna get new internet set up with new ip but was a bit paranoid since the 2+2 db bereach
Gn guys .
Simple goal for tomorrow . Get monitor / tv 4k sorted for grind and take dog out to a nice place in the lakes juat outside my town.
Failed at getting monitor. Woke up felt anxious as hell. Have to be a witness at coyrt when i got assaulted as the guy is pleading not guilty and i dont really want to go in person with my autism.
I failed alot today but im getting ramdon icmp attacks ddoss attacks. Not sure if someone ****ing with me but its happened deep in mtts a few times now proabably just getting paranoid but none the less with my new computer not having skype and keeping it for poker is more essential to me
I dont know if the 2+2 breach allowed ip addresses to be compromised but mines fixed. Will be sorted next week fully i hope.
Goals for tomorrow take molly out for walk n sign up for the gym
Get a 32" 4k or a 43" 4k TV, 1440p widescreens are so 2015
yeah think gonna get a 4k and a smaller one on the side for lobbies ect, will likely purchase today for it to come monday

thanks mate appreciate it, think u brought me some run good
was a pretty productive day for me,
got out with the dog over the beach and it was freezing like almost 0 with high winds, but she loved it, shes a cross breed and i just had her dna test done cause she is from a staffy rescue centre.
lovely dog she is, will get some pictures up if i work out this image worked right :P
was good to win the hot 22 , ran pretty deep in the 215 6 max turbo today too got around 40th or whatever for 1k which was ok..
also went out with family member today which was good to get out before the grind, think it helped me mentally today somewhat.
Goal for tomorrow..
do some exercise in the morning, maybe a run in the local park or go swimming at the local baths early, then set up pt4 on my new computer and get some lunch whilst watching liverpool (my team) lose to wolves or something, got offered tickets and should of gone but with my state atm and it being like today i was told i kind of put it off, think i might go to amsterdam on tuesday for a few days, mate wants to go on ferry though and it annoys me cause i need to get uber drunk to enjoy a boat journey :P
gn guys, hopefully this thread gives me some positive direction
Thanks man means alot will try keep with my main mtt game !
Well saturday consisted of me restoring a database i backed up thiught my new i7 would be alot quicker eith this pt4 backup but alas 15 hours in and it finally done a 17gig database.
Surpisingly everything worked like hud profiles ect which was really good so played a session sunday
Was pretty gruelling in that i sattied into the 1k turbo and bricked and sattied into the sunday grand and lost a flip with 50 left sucks but from a $82 and a $55 i cant really complain
Got deep in the 109 200k on party but alas lost jj to kk then jj >ak for the showers early morning.
Goals for today set up piosolver on this new computer along with table optimser/stars helper.
Anyone use table optimser whilst grinding party? Know that party can be pretty funny with any software aids so might be worth asking a few regs before i get it.
Suppose stars helper is fine i guess so might just end up with that .
If u check ur router service u can see the ip address giving u an icmp attack or a ping. Im not the cleverest when it comes to these things but ip is now changed and fibre optic is now up and running.
Well its time to go back to my bread and butter today n punt at some mtts . Gl to all today
Will try post some disgusting hands interesting spots this week .
gl this year young legend. never even told me u started up a PGC thread haha. you aren't alone in struggling with anxiety issues. i think due to the solitary nature of this game it can make a lot of those predisposed anxiety issues a lot worse. i know we've heard it a million times and talked about it on call 10 million times... but balance is so crucial in this game (literally and theoretically) best of luck in the remainder of 2017 legooo!
+1, there are plenty of us out there who struggle to be both a poker player and a reasonably well function person. Doing one or the other is not a big problem for me, but being both is hard. Whenever I fall for the deceptive comfort of the grind and the isolation kicks in I'm a mess, and I seem to never learn to not put myself in that spot. Life strategies are quite a bit harder than poker strategies for some of us I guess
Gl with everything OP, I seem to always see you when railing 500z, I hope it's going well.
Nice results! You just started grinding cash games late last year?
have donated at cg for a number of years, i see this year being no different atm but i do have some ok results barring a few silly sessions plo is the game i need to stay away from

yeah this holds truth alot, for me very much so. i have done this as a comfort for so long, putting real life issues aside, tomorrow i have a court case in which i have to stand up as a victim due to being glassed in the face, guys denying it was even him :/ such a stupid event that turned out, but definitely been holding over me somewhat for a while now, hopefully the right result comes tomorrow for him to get found guilty
ive had alot of sleep issues volume issues this month which are slowly getting better, i slept almost 35 hours this past 3 days (well and truely needed) sleep was pretty much backwards for me and getting in check was the small step i needed, gym non existant, been out with the dog a bit this week which has helped , she is a rescue dog who i recently had dna tested (ha i know im a nerd) but was good to find out some of the breeds she has in her
she is my life saver, but i am sure alot of you know the effect a pet can have on ones life
poker this month has been terrible , MTTs have been stupid,
i think i played around 300 mtts on stars mostly sundays and 215s majors, dropped a nice 5k or so according to pt4, so yeah really struggled volume wise but with the start of the month i had playing plo 500z i kind of put myself in the must grind cash month
results for the month total games nice comeback i know
shameful to drop like 18k or so after 14k hands, plo **** you ! i hate loosing but always come back to it nice come back mainly coming from the ploz but ran over ev (not like i didnt need it)
this pot typifies why i need probably 200 buy ins for plo 500z zoom especially for a fish like me..

nl i had worst session sunday after playing a mtt session starting around 10am and hopping into 4 table from roughly 6pm till midnight or somewhere around (really stupid decision of me )
ended up losing two of the biggest pots at nl for the month too really stupid brain fart both hands
against 1 tabling german, definitely not one to show up with 1010 jj there. pre is probably close 300bb deep , flop probably std, turn i basically took 3 seconds to call turn, yeah that works, never good there really maybe against akdd one time? basically should be folding alot here i think

post flop w.e . probably shouldnt be in this against what i percieve a nitty reg.
hopefully this month i can get my act together, decide what i want to play and stick to it i guess, never gonna succeed doing what i did last month with high potential of ruin
aims to stick to 500nl and maybe drop down too 200z whilst studying some more trying to plug some fundemental leaks that 500 players like jake exploit the hell out of me
haha did we, my results at 500z hu are pitiful, but paying that much in rake /100 hands are pretty absurd, i prolly did something bad as per usual whats your sn? pm me if u dont wanna disclose or not if u dont wanna disclose it at all
Nhnh i remember that one instant snap seen the pot ship to u oh str8 flush gd ha. Still playing the hu i see u more n more at 6 max tho. Gl on ur adventures m8.
On another note got wasted saturday. 2nd drink in like 6 months both in this year though.
Was totally hungover so didnt play but will likely get back to the grind this week.
