Thx sir, nice to start a decent run with the new year!
Thanks
Lol I'll take em next time.
Basically took a rapid pee, ran downstairs, can opened beans chucked em in bowl and in microwave for 2 1/2 mins, whilst putting bread in toaster then voila with about 30seconds left I run upstairs and start eating whilst grinding.


Gonna grind later, but hoping i will go to gym before. Probably wont.

Nothing like a good ego boost, haha I'm such a self-whore - but I'll take being top after 2 days

Nice. Looks like you are doing nice to start. I remember way back in the day playing a few dons here and there with you. Looks like you have been tearing it up in mtts lately.

Yeah I used to play Dons, thats how I got back into poker after a ~6month break from it. Everyone hates them but I thought they were fun!
And yeah i went on a sick mtt heater.

as fat as the dude on the pics whos looking so weird?^^

nah like 2 1/2 stone lighter than that.

Grind time in half hour

Oi mate, I hope you reach your goals though it requires you to run a little hot in MTT's I think.

GL with your project from Denmark!

i am trying something similar gl

OI MATE! Thanks very much, and you're more than right, I'm probably at least a 10/1 shot to hit it, but I have self belief and run good stored!
Thanks, will read yours too.


Just started playing a session now, on a break. This hand made me lol, epic thin value.

Session 13 Report
Meh shortest day ever - started at like 6pm and planned to do 2 grinds, but ran super unreal good for first lot so cut grind early to play out fts and got a lotta decent results. Finally got a 180 win and a 2nd, tho ftd 3 others so coulda been a lot better.
Had a break/food to eat and played some fifa, and not gonna bother playing another session. I know thats pretty bad work ethic as you should prob grind more when winning, but gf needs some attention time so gonna surprise her and go watch a film with her or something.

Good to finally be doing better though, I feel that as well as making tweaks (mainly being tighter calling and isoing) I am mainly running better, at one point I was nailing every river, was a good feeling.

Hourly is finally gonna get to above $10 per hour tomorrow (hopefully), and then can hopefully keep on track and get it to the 16-20 per hour I was expecting in this first stage.

Keep on truckin

Yeah man GL you seem to be running alot better in the New year!!

Thanks, Yeah its great to start off the year running awesome, even for ego as means good leaderboard ranking on sharkscope haha.

gf didnt want to watch a film so after hour or so chilin i've come back to put in another short session. Will update afterwoods, still gonna class it as session 13.5.
Would be nice to get $140 profit tonight to pass the $1k barrier, but have to run good to get there.

Gl Chillin, will follow this, always nice to see some poms doing well.

gotta let the yanks know that they can't have it there own way... Along with the Aussies

Session 13 Report UPDATE
Decided to play another session because gf wasn't feeling like watching a film and i cba just going to bed. V frustrating session, could have been really good but 45s went bad, stone cold bubbling like 4 of em. Shipped a 180 where from 24 down i had more than double 2nd, and just crushed. On ft bubble I had 100k and 4 stacks below 20k at t2k/t4k and I was shipping every hand and they just folded and folded, was amazing.
This mini session was pretty much pointless besides vpps, but meh least I grinded more!

Will post a rare strat thought.... $3.25 45 ft, 8 left, 7th gets $6
First totally interesting spot I've seen, u guys might not think so.
Its bubble of $3.25, 7th gets $6, 8th nothing... If we fold we have like 150 chips left, but if other guy busts we're ITM. If we call we have to beat both of them to stay alive.

$3.25 bubble, fold or call? We have 166 chips if we fold.

Looked closish to me but I'm pretty new to these.

Tomorrow gonna play another 100+, hopefully 150ish. Gonna cross the $1k barrier and get the hourly to above $10.

Goodnight

DEF call there. not even close . calling 166 or whatever to win couple k and possible go on to win it.

Session 14
Man this is going to sound bad I realise already, but basically I didn't capitalise fully on the situation I just had. I only played 40 180s, and final tabled 8 of them!
I had MONSTER stacks on them all, and then did stupid stuff or ranbad. Mainly I misplayed a couple of hands, one 66 on 992 board when it was obvious bb had a 9 when sb led and he flatted, but i still stacked off.
Got two 2nds where I had big chiplead hu which is really really frustrating.
Ran SUPER good in all of my games till ft, ft I ran ok I guess, its probably just human way to look at the badside instead of the good - lost hu to one of the worst players I've played when he had 8k at t8k I had 262k which makes me a sad panda.
Probably the most frustrating day I've had playing poker where I was reasonably profitable. Had a serious chance at a $500 day and didnt even make $150, so really really frustrated.

On the merry side YAYYYYYYYYY $1000 IS ACHIEVED which is a nice milestone. Finally getting back up to a decent pace, hopefully make the $1.5k and start on the $12s within a week now.

1400ish games gone so in all likelyhood I'll be posting a big update tomorrow since it'll be the crossing of another 500 threshold, and be looking at my overall stats.

Least the hourly is above $10 for the first time, think thats about £6 per hour, so the same as all the jobs I'd be able to get in England, cept I get to grind when I want, be my own boss and listen to music/eat on the job.


By the 12th I will have $1.5k at the latest (hopefully), aiming for Sunday 9th though, as that would mean the games were softer when I take my 'shot' at 12s and higher buy in 45s.


To celebrate reachign $1k here are some boobs.






Oh and I folded the hand I posted in the last one, I figured if I called I'll have like 18ish% to win and i HAVE to win it to stay alive. If I fold I figured that sb busts about 33% of the time...

add me on skype nit

I'm the worst, I forgot, will do now!

Boom this is what I do most threads!

Took today off as played fifa early first time in a while with a friend and talked about living arrangements for next year, then tonight went out to watch Arsenal vs Man City footy game and have a few beers & watch match of the day.
Really good night, cant believe arsenal didnt win tbh!

Gn and I'll try grind decent tomorrow to make up for it. GF is at work which means more chance I put in a good session as normally she's a distraction
