Unlucky man, looks like a lot of sick hands. Don't let it get you down.

when I'm on my A game I just fold the Q8 turn (so not often ). in general I think the reg population isn't bluffing very much, if at all, with the delay xr. vs the player you describe I'd guess it's heavily weighted towards the nuts :/

after his turn raise w Q8 my hand is in the muck and i am talking with the waitress how i want my steak and i dont like veges, please bring fries

cheers for the support mate. yeah it was a pretty rough few k hands!

haha, you gotta be playing amazing to fold turn - i agree it's possible though. I guess turn is the real mistake (river is whatever cus he can have 22 or some flushes, albeit folds the flushes most of the time)

hahaha

Played really well today. Made close to no mistakes. Started to get bad beat so i quit.



Not the worst turn!



gazzy stacking me on stream. Painful but he won like a champ so all good



rec going for the ultimate sneak attack pre, then reverse sneak attacking himself



rec going thiiiiin



Got a BIG game tonight vs our rivals. We're losing two of our best players to injuries so have got gazzy and another mate in. We're gtd next weeks final but would love to beat these guys tonight.

Nice comeback! Good luck tonight.

So the football match last night was an utter disaster. We lost 4-0. Never lost a football match so badly in my life, it was truly awful. Will be playing the same team next week in the final. Hoping to get sweet revenge.

As i mentioned streaming went awful because of lag. Also have a knack of losing loads straight away when on twitch. Carried on afterwards and got into profit for the day



This was on stream vs a reg. but they weren't full stacked so maybe semi-reg. debated just calling for ages but ended up going all in. I guess blocking 2nd and 3rd nflushes makes us wanna call way more than shoving



vs super whale. Was convinced i was gunna brick



Grinding tomorrow.

glgl

are you planning to battle the regs in masters homegame? looks very promising of stars tbh, whats ur thought on it?

CHeers

hey man. my supervisor recommended this book as the best starting point into CBT therapy. Lemme know what you think if you buy it!

With the upcoming 85% slice in rb i imagine it would be a bit stupid to not milk as much rb from amaya as possible. So, no i won't be playing it!

Got completely melted last night at the tables. Can't get anything going so far this month. Luckily it's still very early doors!

Thought i'd got lucky



So on friday i had one-to-one supervision and decided to explore my mental game coaching stuff. We had a really in depth discussion around what I could offer and some thoughts about the shape it may take. So far, I think i've identified four key elements that are closely linked to mental game; ego, will, resilience and attachment*. Wrt the attachment stuff, I know it looks kinda out there in relation to poker, however I strongly believe that depending on ones attachment style, different forms of tilt come through.

I'm trying to figure out the ratios of therapeutic:mental game. It's proving quite difficult because I have to be super careful i'm not crossing any boundaries psychotherapeutically i.e., people in the poker world know a LOT about me and my personal life. For therapeutic work to take place it's important that i'm unknown by the client. On top of all that, I want to incorporate mindfulness based techniques, warm up and cool down exercises and even a coaching element. Seems necessary to utilise the fact that i'm still a winning poker player in 2017 whereas other mental game coaches don't play/have never played for a living

*Attachment theory states that a strong emotional and physical attachment to at least one primary caregiver is critical to personal development. John Bowlby first coined the term as a result of his studies involving the developmental psychology of children from various backgrounds

These are just a few of my thoughts and nothing set in stone. Loads to think about but it's really exciting to get the ball rolling!

football and grind today

glgl

here's the book, realise i didn't post it

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Introductio...duction+to+cbt

its probably for semi-obvious reasons. mind going into why this is?

ego should be in there twice for poker players

i assume something a long the lines of having more of a professional relationship between bena and the client, Keeping boundaries etc.

it's nice to see people who win at the game win at the game!

Thank you! Will let you know if i got anything valuable out of it.


Genuinely sad that i missed the twitch stream. Oh well, there's always another time .

As hu4hoes mentioned, it's unethical for a therapist to know their client before any work takes place. So for ethical reasons I simply can't offer too much psychotherapy because I'll be stepping outside those boundaries.

haha yeah ego will definitely be at the forefront of the program!

yeah boyyyy

You're welcome! haha don't worry, it was so short because of bad lag. Make sure you're around for next time

Got tooootally smashed up at the tables. This month has been really grim for showdowns. Coming up second best constantly. Down a few k now. Bout 30bi down at 200.



Classic vs rec



Double classic vs weak reg



Happy with this call vs reg



zzz vs reg



Went to watch the Crystal Palace vs Arsenal game last night. It was totally off the hook with palace fighting to stay up. They ended up smashing them 3-0. Was awesome being in the home end!

Got a fair amount going on for the rest of the week, but will put in a good grind tomorrow.

glgl

I thought Palace would win last night, Arsenal don't do well against teams fighting for their lives. Didn't expect 3 nil though

yeah stevie was convinced that they'd win. He took a 3:1 bet from our mate, his 280 to win 1k. Naturally no sweat

---

Poker was a tough old grind today. Ran great in all ins and awful in pots



Getting too stubborn vs rec



getting totally owned by semi-rec



Line from weak reg



lol vs rec



Played our final tonight vs the guys that beat us 4-0 last week. Was an insanely tight game. We went 1-0 up early on with an smb dream goal. Then conceded 2 goals to go 2-1 down. With about 7 mins to go we score a lovely goal. We head to penalties, 3 each. I save the first, stevie scores, i save the second, our boy misses, then their last penalty taker drags it wide! The most satisfying final win to date for sure.



There is one downside I forgot the GoPro. So so so so so tilted about that!

Going out in chelsea tonight to celebrate.

gl lads

88/12 now

Dece trophy that, nothing beats my 8 bowl Village Junior Tennis Medals though



Enjoy your night out!

Not sure you are aware but there is a very real gopro curse. Don't get me wrong it's a great product, but every time I forget it I have the best fishing trips of my life.
