So i decided not to grind tonight and chill/go out for a meal and watch a movie. I did however waste some stars coins I know, i know, i'm a total whale. I figured i'd get some stars memorabilia before Amaya take everything away!



Got a few things going on tomorrow and sunday but will have some time to put a couple sessions in

What movie did you go to see? I finally got around to going to see The Revenant the other day and really enjoyed it.

That movie was ****ing awful

Stick to Star Wars then.

Havent watched a single star wars either

big short imo

just finished it and thought it was actually rly good. fk star wars 7 tho jfc

Good book too. Looking forward to seeing it on screen.

ah, just a casual film at home. I watched a pixar film called Inside out. It was actually so so good. I reaaaally wanna go see The Revenant too. Will certainly make the time for it asap.

Just watched the trailer for this and it looks right up my street too. ty for the tip boys!

Going out for a leaving party for one of the guys on my football team tonight. Back on the grind tomorrow afternoon after meeting up with a couple grinders, one of which i haven't seen for about a year!

Interesting xb w/ QQ 1st hand. Why not bet small or jam?
For sure you got max value this time, but I think you will also lose EV when scare cards come.

Disagree, I'd play it the same as he did tbh.

So i looked into that hand in some more depth and i shouldn't really ever be checking back QQ here. Well i should a smaaall % of the time, so lets just say i was keeping my frequencies in check

Had a real fun day today going for a roast dinner and playing a few hours of run it thrice! Won $310 + another $185 vs sniper_arnie in a game of snooker

We played triple $$$ last hand and i ran good to scoop the top 2. Vid below!



Lost at the tables today but will post a monthly update later.

gl closing out the month guys

Soooo good

Sent from my SM-G925V using 2+2 Forums

Just got back from watching it - was ace. Above expectations actually.

Monthly Update

Been a very swingy month and i'm delighted with the end result. I certainly suffered from a wave of winners tilt towards the end of the month so it's definitely a good thing that we're starting new today.

Graph



Stake Breakdown



As you can see i got aaabsolutely destroyed at 200 6m but then ran really good at 400 6m. Nice for it to be that way round! Also got kinda killed at 600 6m but sample is minuscule.

I didn't write up any goals for this month so got nothing to review, however my aims were to get my HUD working and to be playing on another site alongside stars, both of which i've accomplished. I've been playing way more heads up and tougher line ups in general and it's doing wonders for my game. This month was also one of my highest in terms of hours played and vpps earned.



Goals for next month:

[ ] Move and settle into new flat
[ ] Complete and send off application for Psychotherapy Masters
[ ] Get back to playing 6 aside weekly
[ ] Maintain off table work
[ ] Make 2 Coaching videos
[ ] Maintain A- game, particularly when stuck lots of $$$

All in all, for my first proper month at midstakes (without the dream of it being december) i'm really happy with my game/how things are going. I'm enjoying doing off table work and am genuinely excited about playing. I haven't had this feeling towards poker for a long time as it's felt like a pretty arduous grind. Hopefully that'll continue even when i catch my next rough patch, which as we know, is always just around the next corner

gl guys!

sick work ben!
