Congrats to anyone who was in ATVI, that aquisition catalyst is nice.

Yeah, this post aged very nicely between ZNGA and ATVI hehe. ZNGA turned out to be my most profitable trade ever as I was quite leveraged. Now I just need CRSR to do something.

Any thoughts on NFLX? Seems like a potentially great trade setup to the long side. ER is in two days. Regardless of the trade potential, does 510 seem like a reasonable price for an investment long?

Nice great play man! It was good risk/reward. I just wasn't aware of a near term catalysts for upside but there you go!

Yeah I really like Netflix. I might take a small position or sell a put and definitely buy on any post earnings dip.

COST is looking good too imo.

Thanks! I bought a few shares today. One more I forgot to ask about: ETSY. Any thoughts on this one? Seems like it might be a good price right now in the low 160s.

ETSY I don't know much about. I just know it's some platform people sell arts and crafts or something? idk.

I saw it around, but the business never really appealed to me so I never looked into it.

Things on the lifting front going quite well. Hit another PR today which was unexpected as I was just going through my normal routine.

Originally just planned to do some sets of three on bench at 315 but as I was doing my second set I felt a lot more in the tank so decided to just push it a little to see where I was and got out 5 clean reps.

Progress looking quite promising for this year.

Cash tables won't load today so just going to play a $12 turbo for fun.

Was finally able to get on the cash tables, but I should've stayed off.
I ran like absolute death.



I ran QQ into AA. Very next hand get KK in CO and run into BU w/ AA.
Then got over flushed twice at another table.

Then at another table lose this joke of a hand 416bb to a 3 outter weird how you can feel the card hit before it hits. Had to just log off after this one.
Dropped back like 4 buy ins all in all.

Brutal hand. I hopped in the 50z pool since reg tables wouldn't open at first and dropped 4bi in the blink of an eye. The swings are wild. I definitely relate to feeling the cooler coming. I basically always expect it to happen nowadays.

Yeah Z tables go so fast when the beats come it's like a machine gun. I don't know how the guys who just grind all day day in and day out do it. I always need a break after an onslaught of 4 to 5 beats/coolers in quick succession or else I get too tilted.

What's your normal game that you grind?

100nl.

For me personally that frustrated feeling is still there but the ability to fight through it has gotten better. Definitely some days where my patience runs thin and I quit sooner than planned. Zone requires more resilience imo because of what you mentioned. Probably why I barely play it anymore

Do you play on other sites or just Ignition?

Mostly ignition and I'll mess around on starspa and acr to played mixed games kind of stuff and mtts just for fun.

Got brutalized more today. On a 10bi downswing last 2 days.
Played C game most of today and played all my rivers really stupidly out of frustration probably cost me at least 3 or 4 buy ins and the rest bad luck.



Turn looks weird on this hand, but this guy was playing 70/2/1 over 115hands and called anything for 3 streets in 3 bet pots.

Had a break even session. Almost at 10k hands now. Kind of sad results only 10bb/100. Blue line goes straight down I just cannot win at showdown.

Just looked at this one and I finally made a good fold. He had the good old 52o.

Lol at 10bb/100. That's absolutely crushing you ungrateful bastard!

Oh is it? I thought it was pretty mediocre for 50nl, but idk what the standards are for win rates. I just figured it should be a lot higher just based on the way the games play. I mean like half the tables I sit at you have at least 1 or 2 players limping almost all their hands playing anywhere from 45/3/0 to 90/0/0.

i started playing nl50 and just absolutely crushed like winning a full buyin every 200-300 hands

then the regression began and i know it doesn't matter but it felt like the poker gods would continue this correction so i dropped down to nl10 and continued the runbad last night KK<JJ aipf, flopping nuts villian x/r jam air and runner runners etc

so nice to lose 2-3 buyins at nl10 for lols and now back to nl50 today because now I feel like the unsustainable rungood has finally ended

i know it's all fake, all in my head, like when i mock the people who decide to hit or stay in blackjack not based on perfect play but whether they got a feeling

but since it's all for the lols anyway, if i feel more comfortable acting irrationally, then i guess it's +ev?

yeah I'm curious how far it can go. So I'm trying to just play consistently to see how many buy ins I will continue to drop just losing hands like AK to K2 where the guy 4bet shoves aipf.

From my peak I'm down 12 buy ins.

Hey spyu,

I seem to remember you thinking about buying some xlm. Did u ever get any?
Any time frame on the HU match with BS?

it worked, back to the unsustainably good run at nl50z during a brief session while waiting on lineup news


i need to develop this into a formal strategy of sensing run good and run bad and martingaling the stakes you play at accordingly

Nah I never got around to it. Why is it looking good now?

He didn't want to play HU cash, only a turbo sng which I'm not really interested in since you're mostly just flipping for stacks after like 10 min.
