Ive had 4 or 5 separate courses of Roaccutane over the years. Never had any problems with any of the side effects and I was a habitual weed smoker for most of the time I was taking it.

Its 100% the only thing that works (with severe acne like mine at least). And believe me, I tried everything. Nothing else comes remotely close.

gl with your challenge. Swings look brutal.

Cheers for info :-)

Swings are rougher than what I was used to previously because Ive never really played Hypers up until 2012. I'm getting used to them though, just all about volume and trying to play well!

My yearly VPP Total so far.... I should be on around 215k so far this year...slacking!!!!

I'm going to be going in pretty hard this week hopefully...don't really have any commitments outside of poker so no excuse really :-)

Go mate, following u

Nice challenge!

GLGL will be following!

Hey, how is that 4k games going? At what # of games are you now?

Hey mate...I was going to wait until the 15th to post an update but may as well do it now :-) Played 1641 games so far this month so a little behind obviously but I don't fancy you guys chances muwahhahhh :P

This month has definitely been the most frustrating so far....

Overall month.



It's kind of weird because I think I'm playing a lot better this month then in February and I'm doing much better in $200s than I am in $300s.

Stats for $200 games this month.


Stats for $300 games this month.




One of the hardest things about playing poker professionally IMO is balancing a social life with getting in enough volume ( especially a problem when trying for Supernova Elite)

I never want to be one of those players who literally never ever leaves their house, stays in front of their screen 100 hours a week and has a pee bottle underneath their desk, however doing a lot of things outside of poker at the moment sort of inadvertently makes me distracted whilst I'm playing as I'm mid match and I'm like ''**** I forgot to call my girlfriend to ask her this'' , or '' **** I really need to buy myself this''.

A serious problem for me with a pee bottle is the fact that my room is poorly decorated, so there are slight gaps in the floorboards meaning if I missed my pee bottle the stench would be unbearable



Obviously they are both LOL sample sizes but still a little bit frustrating. This is going to sound kind of weird but I follow Xereles thread, and I'm not saying that I revel in the downswing that he is in....but it's given me a lot of perspective into the volatility of Hyper Turbos and in a weird way motivates me to just carry on trying to play my best and not complain....I hope things turn around for him he is a really good player IMO.

A plan I think I'm going to start doing from tomorrow is trying to get everything out of the way BEFORE I actually start grinding. All emails/phone calls/ things I need to do/exercise regime/ I'll do before the start of my grind...and if there's anything I forget to do during the day I'm going to put it to the back of my mind and wait until I am on a break.

If any of you guys have a similar problem to me with regards to being ''zoned in'' feel free to try that, or if any of you guys don't have the problem feel free to share what works for you in the thread.

I'm still very much a work in progress so any advice/feedback is much welcomed.

Also guys I think I played 5 low stakes Hyperturbos when I was testing out Pokertracker HUD so they won't count to the 4,000 game challenge!

I'm reading 'The Art of Writing Fiction' by Andre Cowan and in the first chapter he describes the writing routines of very well known authors. There's a pattern (out of about 35 examples) that the majority work best when there are no distractions in their foreseeable day ie: they have done all their chores/routines the night before and so can start work pretty much as soon as they wake up (although playing poker straight after waking up is bad from what I've read on 2+2, so this rule should be expanded to include breakfast + workout). Basically, to clear your mind of external distractions, which also might also include tidying your grind station, daydreaming, reading forums etc improves your concentration.

Good luck with your goals! You seem to have it under control, so keep it up.

Interesting stuff...I'm going to try this today...I no longer have a sea of clothes covering my bedroom floor and all chores and stuff are sorted!! Going to try to not have 12 different safari windows open either !

Nice gogo

For everyone who I offered the $100 to for my 4k game challenge this month, I'm currently on 2245 with 12 days to go if you include today :-)

Weee!!! Been a while since I've had a day like this. I feel over the past few days that I've been a lot more in control in my matches and feeling more comfortable in a lot of spots than I was previously



..I have still time to turn this into a really good month !!!

I spent some time reviewing my own HUD stats since I've got My mac (around 70k hands) and after speaking to a few friends came to the conlusion that a few of my frequencies were slightly off! I'd recommend anyone to take some time out now and again and analyse their numbers....Pokertracker is more than just a HUD!

I also felt myself getting run over and outplayed by a few of the more competent regs and have a better understanding now of exactly how it is I have been getting exploited and feel a lot more confident against them now :-)


I've had to take a few weeks of playing football, and doing my fitness regime as I've got a slight tear in the ligaments of my left knee :-( Kind of gutted not only because it means I'm hobbling around everywhere, but I've regressed a little bit with my dietary habits and am eating a lot more crap !!...I think I've gone through 4 packets of crisps today

On a happier note there was a video ''leaked' onto the internet the other day of Tulisa from N-Dubz ( singer in a British rnb/pop group) giving her ex-boyfriend head. Despite her strictly 6/10 Tekkers ( technique) it's worth it for the cleavage you get towards the end of the video and also for my own personal tastes she ( and I'm sure some of you guys will disagree) has the right balance between being really classy and really ghetto :-)

+1 This so much

The only time I feel the same level of disappointment as watching the @officialtulisa sex tape is when I miss flush draws #lovesthegame Sam MacDonald's tweet lol

Haha, I think he has hit the nail on the head with that one :-) Such a disappointment :-(

Yea was def disappointing but its still tulisa giving head, better than no video lol

Games played so far this month 2,734 still 1266 to go to reach 4,000 with 7 days to go...would be 8 but going to be on a plane for 14 hours...but I should still get there!!

4 days till I'm off to meet Moca who just cashed in LAPT Chile...congrats to him I'm going to make sure the real celebration begins when I go over !!

Hey guys, sorry for lack of updates I've been in Vancouver over the past few days, just been enjoying the city..it's so much more chilled here than back home in London is....people don't seem to take themselves so seriously!!! Going to see a rap battle event tonight which is going to be cool as I've been a big fan of them for around 10 years

That being said I'm actually on tilt right now....I came nowhere near the 4k games that I said I was going to do in March ( I've got like 8 hours to play 900 games!)......I had sort of resigned myself to defeat a few days ago and was cool with it, but just discovered that more people have posted in the thread then I initially thought which sucks **** But I'm a man of my word so guys inbox me your Pokerstars details and I'll send over to you....pretty major case of **** MY LIFE though, especially because March has not been the greatest poker wise.

I think this is pretty much up there with some of the most stupid things that I have ever done in my life!! This might be crazy but if anyone wants to do double or nothing on the prop for April let me know a.s.a.p :-)

Since it's April 1st I guess I'll post my monthly graph :-)



Total poker playing profit + bonuses - losing the prop= around $16,400 in profit for the month which isn't the greatest, but we're at the start of a new month so all I can do is try and crush April!

Well done to all the people involved in my prop (freebie) bet...you have 24 hours to claim the prize.

You won moca the challenge?

PM send, to bad you did not make it. I was rooting . Sick month though so that should make up for it.

Just subbed. Looking forward to the vids on Pokertube as well of some hypers. Looking to get into them myself but getting kinda crushed so far. GL with the goals.

Still playing him now, I'm up 85-81 at the mo but still a long way to go ! He done amazingly well at the start of our second session today but managed to go on a mini heater and regain my lead :-)...having so much fun so far

Cheers buddy, stick with them they're definitely the game to be playing at the moment...let me know how your getting on :-) Going to have a hyper turbo vid on pokertube in next week or so methinks....send me some a hand history if your up for it.
