So i got back late last night from Vienna. Had an absolutely awesome trip with the boys. Met up with all the usual lads like blakk and linus and another couple new faces, teh one and only timstone for one!
The weather was sick all weekend, played tennis, ate good food/drinks and ofc played thrice. Here are some pics
6am at the club
and then losing the key to the appt and trying to fish it out with sticks at 7am lmao
Got welcomed back to stars in classic fashion. Literally played so bad. 50/50 loss split between 200 and 500
vs very aggro reg
This post is long so won't spam more hands.
Seeing clients tomorrow. Going to see my sister and her family on Thursday for 4 days in Plymouth so got another day to grind.
fwiw, vienna is so sick. I would love to move there, if you haven't been, GO.

Monthly Results
Been a boomswitch of a month. 500z has been totally awesome (apart from the past 4 or 5 days) and 3bb at 200z ain't too bad either! Felt i played so so well all month. I ran well in a lot of good 500z pools which is obviously what needs to happen, however during SCOOP the tables were genuinely unreal. Oh, I also got my results for my last essay of the year and I got a merit. Means I'll be definitely going onto the second year of the master now!
Graph all stake
Stake breakdown
May Goal Review
June Goals
[ ] Maintain A game
[ ] Continue to pool select 500z
[ ] Grind some 5/10 live (i know, wtf am i thinking)
[ ] Put some more hours into building a mental game package
[ ] Get back on the gym grind
[ ] Finish up to season 4 of the Wire
[ ] Try bink a main event package(?)
As long as i can maintain my frame of mind and quality of poker i imagine things will continue in the right direction.
I'm off to see my sister and her family until monday so no grinding till then.
gl in june guys!

Fantastic
What are the longer term dreams/goals volume and stake wise with the whole poker/study/work balance thing?
