like if u go to france open .fr you can grind whilst there but once you leave the country surely you have to return to .com?

sup. pretty interesting day today. i was chatting with chAAnt JC while we both basically played the same schedule. it ended up being a contest of who runs worse which i believe he won. i did however get a very close second. (lol not even close but i did run pretty lol ) i kept making stacks and playing what imo was a better game than yesterday but things didnt quite pan out. all this despite getting 2nd in the hot €25 for €819



good thing is that i am as of today a winner on pokerstars.fr (still on a $1k downer cuz over on .com i keep aidsing) but i m onfident things will turn. deffo played better today so all good.

deep runs today include

19/3258 in $5.40 tKO
29/870 in hot €8
38/919 in €5+R storm

happy with my schedule and decided to use some bigfield microstake turbos as table fillers rather than minifield micro regspeeds like $8 500cap. proby bad from an ROI perspective but possibly better from a $/h perspective and that only comes into play when i start up / close down a sesh. during the 8hrs in the middle the only turbos i play are the french ones cuz they play like regspeeds until almost the bubble. will keep this up over the weekend and then evaluate

here s my graph since i started travelling on all sites (excluding the mtts that are still running)

supsup. failed my mnthly goals today

decided that i had played really badly since i returned so rather than botting it out over the weekend i decided to do whats smart and sit down with ready2win and do an extensive review of my 2nd place finish in the $55 50k. turns out i had a ridiculous amount of leaks in that but really happy we spent 6+ (!!!) hours on the second half of that mtt today (had started reviewing it in berlin). really think i ve learned more today about poker than i ever have previously so glad to have skipped today. pumped for the start of the micro series on .fr tomorrow! i ll play all 50 of those events and thus have decided to tweak my sleep pattern such that i start loading at 6pm to be fresh for the first events of the french donkaments. might keep that schedule up tbh as the offpeak donkaments seem awesome on .com as well

tl;dr, cliffs: op was a fish on a heater

gl all tomorrow

still aidsing along. had another pretty rough day yesterday but played mostly fine. made a few close deecisions that didnt work out but i think i finished 20 before the money in about 10 MTTs including the bigger 162. bricked the milly and warmup as well (sold 50%) but all in all pretty gross day

that brings june to a close. tbh considering i only played about 10 days this month the result is very decent. obv a disappointing finish but from an hourly perspective and from an improvement/learning perspective the month was a great success.



read: $4k-$5k as i used many more rebuys than indicated

goals for july will mostly remain the same. i did however mess up my back sleeping in the most ******ed position imaginable i think so that i cant rly sit or walk or lie or live atm. gonna take it easy today, work on my MTT schedule again then grind as much as i feel is optimal on every day. realized that forcing myself to do hours when i dont feel like it is bad but having a schedule is just great to see what games i can play and put some structure in an otherwise rly unstructured and potentially overwhelming job.

gl all hope yall had a good weekend and june

i dont think this means what you think it does...

i mean you know how rough MTT variance is and from your results so far, your from any type of aids running.

especially considering your June, 10 days played for $4-5k is not aids/running bad.

idk if you've seen this already but it might be an interesting read for you.

i never said tat the run i m on is out of the ordinary. wha i said is that since i came back i ve dropped $3k and have been indeed running like aids. i went travelling on the peak of this graph and had 3 weeks off during that time. it all depends on how you look at it and i ve read the article before thx
