Hey Ben, remember me? Congratulatinos on how well you are doing. I want to let everyone know how good you are as a person. Ben helped me out for some time in my poker game without even knowing me, always polite and available to answer a question. He is also a very smart person, and a very interesting one to. You deserve every good month! Keep it up, and there are no limits for you man, to the TOP!

Hey mate, ofc i remember! Thanks for the support and real nice words. Massively appreciate it. I hope you're good and occasionally grinding still??

So not only did we win the league on our wednesday team (which we're still waiting for the bloody trophy) but we smashed up the best team in our league 5-3 in our monday league. That is actually the last time i play for that team as I've joined a different monday night team. Great to finish at the top though. Undefeated too



Still ploughing through all my work. Hopefully i'll be able to put in a grind come Thursday/Friday. Also just organised a massive family holiday to Center Parcs haha. I thought it would be a pretty cool destination that's not too expensive but a good laugh. If anyone has been please shoot me some ideas for activities!

I have actually been to Center Parcs. My recommendation: Stay inside your bungalow all day, get high on weed and mushrooms and play boardgames!

Yeah I'm still playing a little bit. Don't seem to have a lot of free time these days but I manage to get a little bit of volume in here and there. Still stuck at micros due to a combination of being mediocre, having to cash out for irl stuff, and spewing $s on MTTs. Its all good though! Planning a 5 week trip at the end of this year to 4 countries which should be sickkkk. GL in June!

Well it seems like you've got a lot more going on other than poker which is great. Glad to hear you're having fun irl, irl fun waaaay better than poker

yooooo, so i got everything done and handed in my portfolio today!! It took about 3x longer to finish everything than i thought it would but it's just such a relief to have it all handed in. All i have to do now is wait to hear back on my exams, have all my written stuff marked and returned then accumulate my 100 hours of therapy. The hours will take another 4-6 months but if that's all i have left to do by the time all my results are back then that would be so awesome.

Spent most the afternoon out on Clapham Common with the boys - just enjoying my freedom and the rare uk heatwave.

Also put in a grind and it went really well. First session back always feels pretty rusty



Had some sick pots today too.
This was vs a tag reg and a pretty juicy fish. If i hadn't taken the break i would 100% fold to the shove otf but because i felt a bit detached i made what i feel was an inexcusable call:

    Was pleased with this vs a fish. It was only a few hands after the hand above. He had really low wwsf and high w@sd so felt i had to boat up to have a chance at winning the hand:
