rofl gif. Amazing. The reason I don't go on skype is for similar reasons as Tom...too many misclicks and too much of a distraction, however, now that I've dropped from 30 tables to usually around 20 I think it would be fine.

Grats on your recent scores

Cheers dude, looking forward to Notts, gonna be a lot of heroes there again

oh and @all readers:

Listen to all of their albums (self titled one especially)...they are just the happiest band ever

Woke up early, went to the gym, prepared a couple meals and started grinding ~an hour ago. Hoping to reg ~12 hours and have the entire Eminem discography on shuffle to get me through it. Feeling pretty good/motivated so hopefully this goes well. I haven't forgotten about posting Sundays results and will do soon

Failed at a squat for the first time in the gym earlier (Leaned on my toes way too much and just kinda fell forward rofl, it was actually kind of controlled though to I didn't make much noise but obv there were only girls in the weight room and they must have been loling quite hard inside). I dropped the weight slightly, did that with ease, went back to the weight I 'failed' and nailed it Made me pretty happy.

I hope you guys are stacking, so how can you misclick when on skype?
I added you btw, I think I added Tom a while ago too, but he never accepted.

ofc I stack I just auto-pilot when on skype

today has been a failure but was close to being great. Just got 6th in .fr 10r 6m final, ~$3k ftw, bleh. Finalled a bunch of 180s, 2nd in a 15 was best, other were like 5th and 8th (15s)...10th in 35 180, ~35th in 25 hyper. Probz down a few hundo but got 4 tables left so there's still hope lets goooooo

anddddd KK<AT to go 3/12 in 20 euro f/o on .fr, $1.1k ftw...zzz

I started trying to lose weight on the 10th of January this year. I started at 206 pounds. I weighed myself this morning and I'm now 186 pounds I've also increased in strength which is pretty cool. When I reach 182lbs I'm treating myself to a burger, with donner meat, cheese, onions, garlic mayo and chips. But until then it's tuna, chicken, salmon/yellow fish, bananas, broccoli and a steak every once and a while.

gl hero! gotta lot of respect for you, takes some serious balls to just go and play full time, especially if youre moving countries, only playing 50nl, and then decide to switch games completely. was a lot of fun grinding with you in belfast, even if you did steal all my chips.

don't want to say anything out of line but definitely think you worry too much about beats. even in your opening post when you talk about your big scores (manchester, tt, milly) you mention how much is up top and how sigh it is you came close. would be better for you mentally if you avoid stuff like that, even when you get to 18 left there's still like a 90%+ chance you aren't going to win. i know you know all this stuff but completely ignoring it rather than still remembering it years on might help

sick weight loss too, i need to get on some of that but it's so f hard to avoid kebabs on way home

Thanks bro, it was really stressful but Jono (GAWA9 to those who don't know) was an absolute legend with things and helped me a lot and I'll always be grateful for that. Plus Boojum was right around the corner to things were never too bad

I think I mostly mention my close calls because I'm probably scared people think I suck because of my downswing I honestly hardly think about them, they happened and when I do think about them it's always in a positive light because each time the amount I won was huge compared to my br at the time and it allowed me to progress through the stakes and gain some invaluable experiences.

I worried a lot about beats for a while because I tend to run very very good in the mid stages of a tournament but when it comes to the final couple of flips or whatever I just tend not to do wins I don't care too much since I must be doing something right to put myself in the position for these nice scores. People overestimate how much I get bothered by beats deep in tournaments...I moan for an hour and then the stress is completely gone. If I didn't moan I think it would build up and I'd throw my Razer mouse (bargs) at the wall and I really do not want to do that :P I have only ever thrown one thing at anger due to a beat and that wasn't even the milly :P

Tip RE wait loss: Try not to drink. For one, lager has a hilarious amount of calories + every time I drink I tend to get a takeaway (used to be sometimes 2) so a night out can easily be 4k+ calories which in the grand scheme of things is ****ing disgusting. Sailor Jerry's rum + diet coke is the way forward

TY for posting anyway mate, I'm sure I'll see you around some time soon

haha, i understand what you mean about getting it out your system, just think there might be a better way than spamming my f Twitter feed all the time :P have you tried any stress reduction techniques? maybe something like a soft ball you can rage at and slam around your room for a few minutes might help

think i'd rather be fat than not drink beer <3 will have to go pinting some time, i'm back in wales from august at latest!

Hahahaha well I did have a stress banana which was amazing until a certain Norwegian with homosexual tendencies (Lars) started jacking it off. It was filled with a clear gel that actually squirted out of the end of the banana since he was going at it so hard RIP banana.

I'll probably get something like that again though.

It's summer soon mate! Get le beach body get le chicks and then hibernate/drink loads in the winter I assume you're going UKIPT Swansea?

I'm not sure if you're serious about that but I know a lot of people who think this way. But it mostly comes from being backed and wanting to let your backer know that you're playing good. But you play on your own, so you don't have to proof anyone anything and regardless of that we all now you're a good player so nothing to worry about.

Anyway, just booked the hotel for notts, see you there.

GL man!

Boojum <3

Yeah I was serious. It's pretty dumb/results orientated but I value what others think of my quite highly (so f annoying but just the way it is). Thanks for the compliment!

Thanks When I next visit Dublin/Belfast I'm going to spend a lot of time in Boojum.

____________________________________________

Don't really feel like playing that much today so decided I should do some studying. I haven't been signed up to a training site for a while and I really enjoy watching videos. Can anyone share any positive experiences they've had with certain training sites? Where has the best quality MTT videos? I'm thinking Cardrunners but will wait to hear some feedback.

Here's my graph from Sunday - today.

I added .FR back in and they have some really awesome new tournaments so I'm looking forward to grinding there full-time again.



Loads of deep runs that I didn't convert and still feeling pretty optimistic about this month.

SNGs have been going pretty well this month:



MTTs haven't been so bad either. If it wasn't for the lag I feel like this graph would be a lot nicer.



Thanks for reading guys

re training sites: DC has some rly good one imo

Best of luck with your challenge!
