Grinding Past the Fries

Cool, hope they sort it soon! PT4 is apparently working fine.
I played some reg tables today, sat at tables with only one player at them and left when they filled up. If they got juicy I stuck around for a while. I also played a bit of Zoom hudless...
Had to cash out $100 to invest in a new external screen (cracked my old one yesterday), and with some losses last night and today's profit, the roll sits proudly at $1236. A couple of hands from today.
Is this a fold? Is villain bluffing here? I'm not quite sure.
A bit of discussion had about this hand (with villain himself). I block a lot of his bluffing range, should probably fold. Thoughts on his sizing pre? I think it should be like 4/4.50.
Nice calldown by us
Funky hand...
That'll do for now. Hopefully back to normal tomorrow! +$1330 for the month so far.

Sorry guys, the last couple of days have been a blur of nocturnal hudless zoom and mtt degeneracy. Will just post the graph for the month so far...
Down a bit with MTTs but persevering with $11 MTTs just now, a win is right around the corner. Came oh so close last night, but then the table nit decides to yolo it up and I bust in 19th, 2.3k up top
http://www.boomplayer.com/en/poker-h...950_D2866E4432
I am going to keep going with the $11 MTTs today and tomorrow as well as Zoom, but then I'll be done until next Saturday (quarterly freeroll).
Cashouts and whatnot see the roll at $1276, the aim for this weekend is to finish at $1500! Let's gogogogo. A couple of quick hands...
Vs a huge whale on a regular table, he kept sucking out on me in 200bb pots, but I got him, I FINALLY got him!
I knew this guy was FOS, unfortunately his bluff beat me

Bummer about the MTT but nice deep run either way
I thought it was kind of a funny coincidence that the guy that busted you is my neighbor. Pretty sick for a large field mtt.

those kinds of graphs are a good inspiration. Most players would have given up after the 350k mark when you were smashed. Interesting graph for sure. What time period is your graph?

Isn't it just?! Looks like a lie detector test or something...
Thanks very much, I appreciate that. Mainly this year, a little bit before this year, but I only really started taking my game seriously around April time. I could still take it a bit more seriously, and that's something I'll look to do in the next few months.
Simpler times! AQ & AK were 3bet/bet/bet/shoves, I long for those days.
Haha cheers buddy!
Tbh I don't think I even knew what a red line was for half of that graph...
It's actually about the 400k mark that my game changes. I don't know if y'all will remember but I hit a horrendous downswing (codeword for spew) at the end of May, which turned around at the 650k mark. I changed a lot around that time. Started speaking to people on Skype, sweats (sweats changed my life, swear to god), thinking about things.
Thanks a lot man! Keep at it, you'll get there
MTTs again all day today, back to Zoom tomorrow. Again really enjoyed it, but variance is wild. -$350 for the day but still in 3, 2 $11's that are early doors and 26/377 in the Bigger $109, guaranteed $170 minimum. Not bad for satelliting in for $15
hopefully can go deeeeeeeeeeep!
