Are you still with the same gf if 2013?

Yup

Thanks
You should give it a go, really cool sport, super tiring but really satisfying when you send a problem (especially one that's been bugging you for 2weeks+)

Played a bit more hands today and last night, trying to get that green line to reach the EV line again

Going for another run today, first time running without the gf. Should be hella boring, really not sure how I'm gonna motivate myself to push through heh

2So, bad news. Didn't run any better since coming back from Munich, considerably worse in fact. The gods giveth and all that.



Month now. What a trainwreck

There seemed to be a point where everytime I 4b AAxx and got called, I'd lose the pot. If I 4b non-AA, I'd always get jammed on. Breaking down and crying is just a part of poker right?

All honesty though, I'm really not sure if I'm playing well and it's just what PLO does to you sometimes. :/
---

Onto better things though. Munich was really good fun! Main attraction was the IFSC World Cup Bouldering event there where we got to see climbers from all countries compete. Unfortunately Team GB didn't do so well as a whole But at least Team Japan smashed it in general (weeaboo here hah)

The rest of the days we drank a lot, ate a lot of currywurst/burgers/chips, went hiking, biking and bouldering. Really nice break away from the tables but I'd rather not lose that $20k from being rusty tbh Also had our flight delayed on the way back by almost 3 hours (when the flight itself is only 1.5 hours...) so that was annoying heh

---
Back to poker. Big thing for me: I played 10/20! Somehow managed to get into such a juicy game. Was a guy who must've been 90vpip-ing and somehow crushed the table haha. Here's some HHs:

First experience of 10/20 in a long time. It's a whole lot scarier than when I played it at NLHE... Probably because 1/3rd of my site-roll was on the table

---

Climbing again today and then running tomorrow. Need to get fitter and stronger!

I think I saved my month a bit.




The tip is to move up stakes and run good
By far my biggest pot and day in a long time

Super stoked right now, gonna treat myself to a hot choco

look at that dirty 2 hand hnr

How does one get to 4b rainbow aces and ALSO flop top set and ALSO get 2 all ins?

I played 213 hands actually!

l2r m8, my aces are s00ted
Complain enough about getting outplayed at 500z and the gods will deliver I guess

The way he trapped me there was superb
Table broke soon after that so just ended up being down half a stack

fk this plo ****

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice day tho

that's unlucky

Danke!

Indeed

------

Had my biggest day ever today today!!



----

Re:Poker, I played a few more hands of 25/50 again today for a total of 48 hands on the month lul, somehow managed to snag up the jesus seat too hah.

Played 110k hands on the month and rocking a 3.26EVbb/100. Will no doubt play some more hands before the month ends, hopefully it's a good last few k hands

110k hands this month????? thanks for making me feel like a lazy ****bag

Anytime!

-----

Month



+7k on untracked sites
+$1k chest

Total of $22.6k month. That moment when you run at EV in BB but are 6k below heh. Not actually complaining though since my rungood was at 10/20 rofl.

Let's just call this the month end. Not sure why but woke up this morning and just didn't feel the grind, feeling super lazy.

Also I'm feeling a bit disappointed, not sure why. I probably set myself up for this with how hopeful I was at around hand 55k that it would be a big month. Maybe also because it's the highest stakes I've played in a long while.

But I gotta put it into perspective I guess that I get to sit at home in my PJ's to play a game that I (at least in the past) love and make money doing it.

Anywho.

Rainy day today (could be why I'm not feeling it). Which means it's perfect weather for hot coffee & going to the climbing gym!

Peace oot

awesome month man. regarding disappointment: having profit goals can only lead to various forms of tilt. just make volume and/or Agame goals - this has really helped with my mental game.

glgl next month!

Grats on the month and hard work , that 55k hand doom drop is so typical PLO saying **** you for getting confident I hate when that happens

great month, grats!

I've had to laugh so hard at zoja's last answer to you in the SSPLO BBV thread. Man, that was as douchey as it gets. External shame alarm

glgl for september!

Yah defo. I mean, I realised that years ago but apparently even joking about a 40k month got me tilted when I didn't hit it haha
Thanks!

Thanks
Mmm hmm, it just happens sometimes, gotta roll with the punches I guess

Haha, I don't mind getting flamed by a rec. I think he's pretty good to have around on the forums, adds some spice

Tyty!

------------

Speaking of ****-EV graphs, here's another one



5fig day right out of the gate, woo



Ran pretty good at my higher stakes
Of course, I don't believe that the EV truly reflects how I actually ran in that session but I would say that heh

Sat in a 5k game yesterday too but it broke relatively quickly. I chopped up a flip which was meh. Villain even managed to save his EV line somewhat too

Can't grind today, having people over. Boardgames all niiiight, woo.

How many tables do you play on average and how many hours do you put in per day/week? I'm jealous of your volume.

I'm nearly always playing 3-4 zoom tables depending on games & how many reg tables I have. I'm not sure about hours/day, prob not that much, but I prob average 6.5 days/week

beast work ethic

Thanks!

-----------



Month off to a good start. Not putting in as much volume as I'd like but it'll do
Been playing really bad at 500z apparently (but getting lucky), so I think I'm gonna dial it back there, pool select more and maybe play less tables.

Re:fitness, slowly building up that stamina and hopefully going to be able to run my first 5k before the end of this month!

lmao

Haha, love the Mannis

Brb





Session involved a lot of shoving overpairs into boats. Thankfully, the last hand changed it up a bit

Ok, im throwing in a comment here to make sure we don't lose the updates. By far my favorite thread on the site right now. And strong GIF game there at the end as well. Newest season of GOT was nasty good.
