With 1 million hands of experience and you can't beat NL50, I think you have some major flaws in your game. Get a good coach, some good poker friends and a different thought process, because whatever you're doing at the moment is obviously not working. You know what they say: practice doesn't make perfect, only perfect practice makes perfect. 
I don't know anybody who stares at a screen for their job all day, then comes home to stare at a screen for several hours more. I have some friends who are computer programmers and they specifically avoid computers in their spare time. They say that they would lose their mind and go insane if they had to stare at a screen for any longer.
Don't force the issue of playing. Poker is supposed to be fun and 12+ hours a day concentrating on a computer screen is enough to burn anybody out. Good luck.

Im not a programmer or sth like that, but i happen to read a ton at work, since im bored otherwise. My project has proved to be not really time consuming/challenging. But other than that i totally agree

Also if you had an overpair or TPTK, you would have shoved into SB's middle set and lost. I think SB actually outplayed you here, because he knew you had a strong hand you weren't folding if you bet into 3 players. His donk was the perfect play vs you in this spot. He was simply unlucky to run into the one hand that beat him (technically 2 hands because 45 gets there
).You outplayed the AKdd guy of course, no question there. I have no clue what he was doing in the hand beyond the flop. Congratulations on stacking him!

hi everybody
arrived back from vegas today, and tbh im so glad to be back. Im kind of sick of vegas and live poker grind. Live variance is just so ****. 20-30h per hr is mind numbing. I could never be a live pro. Most of them just nut peddle.
overall i played average and results were the same. -$4.1k and 190hrs of play
tbf i also ran like a dog only winning 1 aipf for over 80bb for the whole trip. I just wasnt making hands and losing to better hands. Enough whinging, im back to the online grind. Put in a welcome back sess at 100z today and won 500bb in 900 hands. TY very much stars.
Ill try to keep thread updated
peace

But, i have been looking at some OTB hands and his 3b sizes oop are huge too, from what i've seen
Anyway sorry for judging all the best
