Played a bit more. Not much to say other than that I ran good. Only played 25 games though, volume fail.

Had to cash out 1k (because I has no money

) so roll was at 11.8k again. Played a little bit today so far, up to 13.7k. So not that much left. Will probably play a lot tonight and this weekend. No downswing please!

Ran pretty bad today. Didn't play that much. Maybe sick volume day tomorrow idk. 4 AM again, so won't try to force volume now, doubt it'll do any good.

MTTs and their stupid big pay outs are the sirens of poker

If it's such a funny hand, that must be because you didn't expect him to fold to your 3-bet, however, you 3-bet him with J high

I definitely expected him to fold to the 3bet.. from reads etc etc it was funny how certain I was that he was FOS and would fold here. I guess funny is the wrong word.

Hey dude,

we've played together a few times and from SS we're even at 2-2.

You've got a solid game I'll tell you that much and this should be pretty easy for you.

I absolutely own at every level and when i move up to the 100s I just go tits up. Its happened so many times now and I never manage to spend too long at the $115s yet I dont really know why. Reviewing my games, I seem to be playing ok and obv a lot more games get to the 50/100 level which is gonna mean that I'm only gonna be marginally ahead in most games... this might make no sense but i know what I mean.

Anyway, if you want someone to chat HUsngs with PM me and i'll send you my msn or aim etc.

BR at 17.6k now, sick day today, up and down all the time, got very tilted at times but I don't feel like I made bad plays because of it. Would have been more, but staked a friend 500€ for donkaments. bonus coming in soon.. should manage 20k today or tomorrow. 345$ games are ****ing with my mind, 5-10 BI swings in them really affect my mood

Yes I am far above EV, fu :P , I am still a lot under EV lifetime.

123.40$ according to HEM, but idk how it calculates it. Probably doesn't account for downtime(there is a lot of it), so that reduces it obv. That is without RB btw, so should be a decent amount more.

Edit: calculated it, about 35$ more per hour with rakeback.
