I posted before that I run this sort of stuff in Amsterdam. On 15th July we're hosting Euro Football 5s and 6s tournament at our venue. Teams from UK come out for the tournament and a weekend jolly. We field a few Dutch and expat sides and I think a couple are coming from Spain.

Bring your 6s team out...

gazzy saying you are not friends because friends dont lie to each other

I woulda called AQ too if it's any consolation!

ahhh yeah i remember you posting last time! That sounds very appealing. Would just be difficult to get the whole team on a trip cus some of them work (not all poker players in the team)

Keep me posted about it though! what will the standard be like?

I wouldn't ever lie to gazzyB

So i've been trying to get going on this essay and failing miserably It's due the 27th so i've gotta get seriously down to business.

Decided to jump into some 500z today cus the pool looked insane. Played 2x200 and 2x500.



Had some juicy hands.

vs overbluffing weak reg



vs same guy



exploi check flop vs weak reg who doesn't fold when there's perceived weakness. Hence my river size



vs unknown rec. Tanked turn for ages and flicked it in. I then screamed as loud as 5 or 9



Month is looking decent. JUST NEED TO WRITE THIS ESSAY.

Be my mental and poker coach?

You're quite the sicko, keep it up!

Subbed.

Not too bad ^^ gg

weee beast mode, stick to 2/5 imo

"reg"

Could you recommend some books on the subject of psychology that a mere mortal who isn't majoring in it would understand.

Thanks

Thinking, Fast and Slow by Danny Kahneman is a banger, although I'm nowhere near qualified to comment.

The Undoing Project by Michael Lewis is a biography of kahneman and his long timr collaborator, Amos something (tversky?) Very accessible and informative.

Thinking fast and slow is in domain of behavioural economics which is not pure psychology. Some parts of the book are dry. It is interesting though.

haha, it's funny you say that because i'm considering putting a mental game coaching package together. Figured cus i have no essay to write next term I could take some time to properly plan it. Will keep the thread updated about it!



ty brother. haha nah i know if i go back they'll take it back

lmao. he genuinely used to be one of the best midstakes regs. Now one of the worst at 200z

It depends what you're looking for man. The books i could recommend would be more about psychotherapy and the theoretical side of things. Are you looking for self help, cognitive behavioural, psychoanalysis, dream analysis etc. If you can gimme a rough idea then i'll be of more help!

yeah i heard this is good. juhan?!

Will check this one out ty!

yeah this. Depends what you're looking for

Only played 200z today and thank god i did. I finally ran like total garbage. Just the classics KK into AA every other hand, sets yada yada. I played probably B- game today too which added insult to injury



vs rec



Death spot vs trash nit reg. Probable argument to folding preflop or flop. Just always has AA. Convinced myself into believing he could have the one off suit AK combo. Ofc not, he's 21 vpip with a million% w@sd and 0% 4b. He also AA v KK'd me another time



Recreational playing solid



This one made me very angry vs reg. turn check call is as far away from optimal as you can get



Some other coolers but not worth posting!

We bought a GoPro today too. Will be recording football matches from now on so expect a montage in the next 6 months or so

glgl

I've looked into cognitive behavioural therapy, so i'm interested in these kinds of books.

ah yeah i think i know who you mean now

screennames!!!

im quite curious now feel free to pm me the sn ben/calm down :P

The best teams will be pretty good, the worst teams won't be (think pub footballers that just come for the beers). He runs it with a group stage and the best teams go to the Cup knockout and the worst to the plate knockout so it evens up quickly. Nothing else to keep you posted on, it's definitely going ahead on that date so you know what to do if you want to play

Failing that then when one of the team gets married one day do the stag in Amsterdam and then we'll play a match/set up a mini tournament! I have a great desire to see my team stomp your boys for some reason - I think it might be memories of getting stacked by smb a lot back in the day

GL

Sick session! Shame it didn't run to the second day but can't win them all. Get that essay out the way and start crushing the tables again!

Looks better now

Neeeeeeedle!!!

lmao. sn?

gonna ask/pay someone to marry me asap so we can get this stomp (lol do you not know who we are?) set up.

Just friendly banter

I'm not too familiar with CBT books as it's not something i've studied, however my supervisor is a CBT therapist. I'll ask him for some suggestions and get back to you

haha go on have a guess! If you get it right first go i promise i'll say it's correct





Sounds ideal. So keen to play. so curious as to who you are and when you played with smb!

Yeah the essay grind is really boring me atm so i'm mixing between an hour here and there with a bit of poker too. Too many distractions

hahaha, rate that

i know!

Pretty uneventful day at the tables. Running into nut vs nits a lot



Squeezer was large recreational. guy with KK is a reg who mixes 500z. Not sure why he's flatting pre. I think i can fold turn cus he has 66 so much. and he knows when i overcall pot otf that i have 44, and he knows that i know that he knows, so he just has to have me beat. oh well



Absolute demolition derby vs rec



Clients tomorrow.

glgl

wow @ 44

A3dd sick !

Awesome A3 call.
