Thanks Pimp!
Update: Yesterday i played on my phone and won a couple of bbs.
The involuntary transition of going from 4 tabling zoom with a hud, and already having notes on a lot of villains to playing one reg table on a phone with no hud has got me thinking about auto-piloting. When 4 tabling zoom the autopilot can show up after 30 seconds of play, but when 1 tabling a reg table is almost impossible to go on autopilot mode.

What do you plan to do differently in 2017

Thanks Labax!

Well, i do have been doing a lot of thinking about what to do.

1. Get my own inet connection.
2. While i get it, i am not playing on the phone, unless i really, really want to. Is not gonna be like: -okay, i am gonna grind on my phone

Update: Yesterday i played a couple of hours on a borrowed laptop and won a couple of bbs.

You seem to have missed the fact that mirage is taking the piss out of you. Don't worry about him though, he's pretty much just a troll in PGC.

And here I was thinking OP was trolling us.

Happy New Year!

Thank you very much TDA! and Thanks Mir

Actually i consider mirage01 like one of my biggest motivators.
That's why i thank for his input everytime. Just like i am thankful for the input of any nay sayer.

Thanks everyone. This is public forum gotta grow a thick skin and mir helps with that.

Update: Not much. Still the same situation. I played everyday since my last update except dec 31st.
Since i don't play poker that much nowadays i have been playing a lot of basketball and hearing an audio book over and over called: Secrets of a Millionaire's Mind.

Good attitude. Happy to keep providing input for you.

Forgot to mention that i went with a fellow 2+2er shortstacking to the casino. Sat w 20bbs waited for the ladies (QQ) and double up. Then saw a flop in a limped 3 way pot with Q7 from the BB flop is 775 ck ck ck, Ace turn i bet 5 bbs into a 5 bb pot, call call, Jack river. Thought about shoving but instead i bet 7 bbs and both called!
So now i have like 50bbs and get dealt the pocket rockets (AA) utg limps, my buddy raises to 4bbs it gets folded around i 3 bet to 13bbs everybody folds and my friend 4bet jams with AK!

I caught a break there.

I mean this in the most genuine and sincere way possible.

Is this the best ev thing you could be doing with your life right now.

I feel if you want to give poker a shot being semi busto and having to withdraw got external reasons whenever you win a decent amount of money is not gto.

What's your mindset like atm, what are you thinking about poker and the future, what are your goals etc

Thanks Labax!

My goals are: 1. to get a strong inet connect and start some serious grinding again,
2. play more basketball 3 play at least 1 live tourney once every 2 months and 4.listen to more audiobooks.

Right now i am starting ''Think and Grow Rich'' by nap hill

Mindset atm is like i want poker to be a side income but i want other side incomes too (math applied to gambling related) .I want poker to be just a fraction of my total income. Basically i want balance right now and for the future.

Years ago poker was absolutely everything to me. Now i just see it as what it is just part of the whole. Just a game.


Update: Bad habits coming back: yesterday i played listening to rap music and lost 1 buy in.

In the first post you stated that you want to reach NL100z. Is this still the main goal?
Poker can be a very convenient way to make side money, but for that you need to learn how to be a profitable player, even for NL2.

Thanks LP!

Yes it is. Update: did not play yesterday.

GL op. I'm glad your still providing updates but the lack of detail/effort is starting to make this thread look like a huge troll.

Thanks Mav!

Ok, you are absolutely right. However i am making some progress. I took a 48 hour T-break, hope this is one of many tolerance breaks i take during this year.
Everything was going kinda of ok until i moved out, that really disrupted the grind.
Some days i don't even bother playing. One tabling is just like playing live poker, i like it. And i try to take the positives of it, like more than plenty of time to think and getting or trying to get into some dynamics vs the fish.
At zoom the dynamics are vs regs and reg fish. At reg tables the dynamics i try to get in are vs fish.

Update: Had a decent weekend, won a couple of buy ins.
