managed to bink the last tournament i have ever played



still down for the day but i take it i guess. my brain is molten i ve played another 12hrs today and ran like aids in all big mtts and ran like god in all mtts with less than 200 runners. so sick. i m sorry for dissapointing all my investors today but believe me i tried my hardest. i feel like my MTT game is as sharp as ever its just a matter of time till i start stringing together some runs. i ll to the final tally tomorrow and ship back all the unused rebuys and maybe there was a tiny mincash somewhere i cant remember then i ll ship that too obv.

thanks a lot to all that did buy shares any better luck next time! summary of today and the week tomorrow.

i ve played almost 50 hours this month and i love it!

gnite

[X] 3 workouts

[X] bunch of coaching

[X] bunch of fruit and veg daily and NO junk food - really happy about that one. didnt have a salad every day but i didnt eat any trash only self made fresh stuff and had either fruit or salad daily so i book this one

[ ] get sh*tfaced on the pubcrawl with fellow grinders with TR - not yet but its coming up this wednesday
So this week was a huge success in many regards and I am really happy about how it turned out. I still have a bunch of tweakig to do wrt the daily schedule i ll be grinding this entire month and a ton of learning to do about my late game play and my shoving ranges but looking at the goals i set myself i think i did quite well. I have had a hard think about what games to pursue for this week and tbh i currently just enjoy MTTs too much to not play them as much as i can especially with SCOOP just around the corner. the shortes sesseion i played in the last 7 days was 7 hours and a bit and i called that one ''lazy'' lol.

its sick how much motivation i have recently gotten seemingly out of nowhere so i ll deffo try and keep that up despite my hourly being less in MTTs (i suspect) the shier volume i m able to put in while enjoying every hour of it is more than outweighing that. plus, its good to get some practice in for the massive grind that SCOOP will be. i think i ll be logging 12 hr days for the entire series really. however bearing in mind how i felt all day today...



...I have decided to extend my weekends to inlude both mondays and tuesdays . 'Weekend' being defined as monday entirely focussed on just wasting time doing nothing and tuesdays being the bulk of my weekly strat reviews and coachings. then go 12hrs thurs all the way through sundays i think. since i ll get sh*tfaced on wednesday that probably wont ome into effect this week but i think its a decent idea to go for next week and essentially the rest of the month.

the highlights of this week include:

1st, 4th and 5th in the $11 $3k gtd , a bink in that loldonkament lst night, as well as this $4.50 180s graph:


(sun)

so with all of the above in mind i ll sit down tonight or tomorrow and come up with a sensible schedule to include mainly regular speed mtts to tr and get my mediu-deepstack edge to manifest itself as much as possible in my future sessions. i ll be starting my sesions at 3pm and i ll keep loading all kinds of donkaments as well as most th $4.50s that run (apart from peak time) until about 11pm maybe midnight then grind out watever i m still in. i ll post the schedule when i have it.

heres my month to date overall graph:



also once again thank you to everybody that invested in me this week and for my SCOOP package. i sadly ran like absurd aids yesterday (8.5evbb/100 0.08 trueBB/100 over 9.4k hands) and that basically means i busted tons of donkaments when deepstacked running bad in the big flips so all i managed to cash from the package was the storm where again i busted in a flip. I m hoping to do much better over the next packs i ll put up though so keep ur eyes peeled for the next one

(I ll sit down and do the math in a sec and will ship all the unused buyins back)

thanks everyone for reading and hope yall had a good weekend! best of luck this week

thanks bro well yea as i mentione earlier i didnt come here to ball around i came here to work mainly. and even if i was further down the road and could techically afford balling i wouldnt cuz its ******ed imo

as for colorcoding myself i just like the contrast of blueish navy and the red nova stars the most. i tried out all my tags and i just like the look of the blue and the red. red and red worked too but meh its too boring haha.

______________________________________

sup guize! i ve been slacking this week. pretty unhappy with that but i do have my reasons and i got back to the grind today hungrier than ever. but first things first.

i had my scheduled weekend on monday and tuesday where i basically did fkall. just chilled in bed did some coaching cooked some food and watched some series and all that. flt good to take a little bit off after grinding like a madman over the weekend for sure. then i met up with a bunch of 2+2ers on wdnesday for pubcrawl anf i m pretty sure we did at least 8 pubs that night? may be more as my memory is not the bestest after pub#5 haha but was great times. met my good friend azn1nvas1on (spelling?) then who s rooming wiht shipit2kg and zazano and had great fun that night (wednesday) and obv was absofknlutely dead on thursday.

here s some pix from that night:


azn and shipit


my two roommates

so i was hungover on thursday obviously and didnt grind much until like 2 am on friday morning. then i suddenly felt the urde to grind a little session but since no good donkaments were going off i stuck with turbo 180s. ran like aids and bricked everything when deep so decided to try my luck at 25pl courchevel hi/lo hahaha. dropped 4 BI there and said fk it lol. not the bestest day of my career thats for sure but felt good to play again a little so w/e.

after this i sat down and reviewd my mtt database and figured out that i fkn hate the variance of turbo MTTs (currently on a 300+ Bi downer lol) so devised a schedule of 90% regsped MTTs that i m likely to be sticking with throughout this month. i feel like i as a cash game player can execute my edge postflop much harder in deeper MTTs (ldo) so i m gonna again go for quality over quantity and to liek 40-50 decen noncapped mainly regspeed bigfield donkaments and fill the table count up with regspeed $4.50 180s.

then on friday i decided to hit the felt again hard playing that said schedule and started loading donkaments at about 5 and didnt stop loating until 11pm. would have kept loading longer but i had a few really promising runs so decided to quit loading and focus on the runs instead. sadly i bricked them all (8th in the early $27 tKO with $1.1k up top and 13th in the $27tKO with $5k up top). sad to brick them both but man, i feel like i mve been playing so much better than i ever hav ein donkaments lately that a few binks are just around the corner! I still managed a profitable day today which obv is great in MTTs and then realized when i ha dmy last donkament up that it was azn1invas1on's birthday today and that i had promised to be there tonight. so promptly busted that thing after the moneybubble burst (lol) and went to paceville and got properly wasted again with shipit2kg, azn, timstone, zazano, flipity and my two roommates:



was a great night out and good to see them all again (lol its been 2 days only) its great to have so many awesome dudes around here in malta and i m deffo looking forward to meeting them all again but being the loldegen that i am tht may well have to wait until after scoop because i m gonna play 8hrs+ daily starting hopefully tomorrow but most definitely on sunday. i might even try and play all low events and hopefully get a run going in those. i m feeling really confident in my game atm and i m pretty optimistic about the shares that i have sold for the scoop. i might put up some packs for some big fat value medium events as well but that would be for the second week onwards i assume.

tldr

cliffs:

OP wasted out og his mind, going for 8hrs+ every day for next 2+ weeks, gl to me lol

pretty proud of myself today tbh. I decided not to bum around like i did all week when hungover and actually fired up a bunch of donkaments for a 'short' hangoverpokersession. ended up playing for 7 hrs and played really well just ran like aids. pretty much all night i got it in awesome and got sucked out out on in all the bigfielders i played. sold some action and played all teh hot/big $55s and hot $44 and speedway and such. sadly i couldnt get much going altho i cashed the hot44. i did manage to final table the $4.40 turbo and was looking at a potential eveningsaver but meeeeh busted in 8th for less than $200.

overall i dropped just over $120 today so i take that i guess. very happy bout how i played today and in most of my recent sessions tho so LET THE SCOOP MADNESS BEGIN!!!!


gl to everybody going for binkage over the next few weeks!!




hours this month: 75.5
