Hey IATPH - I frequently get pms from complete randos wanting free coaching, staking, and other zany requests. I put that in there to discourage those types from emailing me. I have seen your posts and with your refs I am more than happy to give you the info. I imagine most of you guys have not been involved with organized +ev team play. A good bit of trust is necessary from both sides and there has to be some kind of vetting

I ask everyone to please be patient I will be in touch with all of the info. There is currently a backlog of new guys coming on board and they need to be sorted. I thought that the schedule was clear and we could get right into action.

Thanks again for for your interest and patience.

Good to hear good sir-

Definitely interested in this type of of play, and happy to wait-probably should have reached out privately, appreciate the response, look forward to knowing more

So I have been running horrendously at cash for the past 3 months, so at the suggestion of my best friend I decided to give MTTs a try. Cash can't go any worse, so why not?

Every day I've been firing like 15-18 MTTs, ranging from $11 to $325. Still pretty new at this, as I've played MTTs before but never as a full-time grind.

1 week in I've made 4 final tables but the big score was the $325 today. I think I'm pretty good at donkaments.

SABR, I won $3 playing LLSNL last month.

Grats on the donkament score. Sorry to hear about the cashament runbad.

just be careful bud. the road to busto is littered by people that had some early mtt success

Durrrrrrr

LOL speak of the devil...

I went 1 for 16 ITM today and pretty much ran as badly as possible. LOL donkaments.

At one point today I lost with AA 4 times in a row, within a span of about 10 minutes. All of them were either AIPF, or 3-bet pot with very small SPR.

The 5th time I got AA I started to laugh, saying ok how will I lose this one? Sure enough, someone flopped a set on me, but this time river was an A.

I guess 4 is the limit.

Speaking of endurance, my stepdaughter's boyfriend's sister recently finished the Pacific Crest Trail, which is a hike from Mexico to Canada thru California / Oregon / Washington. Think it took them like 4 months (6 months?) to complete, all in a single go.

Great writing and photos, thanks for sharing squid. Congratulations and much admiration to SPC!

Also congrats to gg's acquaintance, that's quite a feat.

What is Benoit B. Mandlebrot's middle name?



Walking around the neighborhood just now, felt a sharp pain on the bottom of my right big toe. Took off my sandal to see if I could figure it out, and a bee wandered out.

No idea why or how it got in-between the bottom of my foot and the top of the sandal. Fortunately only about 3 blocks from home, so was able to get back and get some ice on it. We'll see how it goes this afternoon I guess.

Similar thing (but way worse) happened to my friend’s dad who is a pharmacist. He worked all morning in his store with a stick or small stone or something in the toe of his work shoe. At lunch he decided to take the shoe off to clear it out and the second he started pulling his foot out, he felt what he described as a red hot drill bit getting injected into his big toe. Sure enough, out ran a funnel web spider that had clearly been squashed in there without any leverage all morning and finally managed to get him.

Not a great end to the story as funnel webs are not to be ****ed with and scare me way more than snakes. He was in hospital for quite a few days on a drip and permanently lost all movement and feeling in his toe
