^ in for that!
Won $2k playing 10/20 today in a rly good game and when the game got **** I went down to 5/10 and lost 1k with set over set and me being a fanny preflop. The 10/20 game was rly good and I spent the majority of it down 3k or so, so not the worst day. Feel a bit tilted but that's just me being stupid.
Again I didn't log any hands, wish I had
oh well the streak goes on! #nolosingdays

Haha agreed. It's just the whole persona of waiting until it's your turn to look at your cards, sitting motionlessly for 8 seconds before folding to a 3bet or when the sb completes and you are gonna check and don't even get me ****ing started on wearing sunglasses at a poker table.
The guys that sit down and are bants and play quickly are great, but you rarely get a slow cash game player imo.
Something tells me you don't quite believe that

Bricked the timbey with 60 left for the day, 34 paid and 24 making it through to day 2. I played well I think. Won KK vs AQ and JJ vs KJ both AI pre to give me a healthy stack. Made one call with a worse hand and then lost A9ss vs an active rec's jam w 55. Flop was AJ8 too for the pain! After that I was down to about 13bb and couldn't find a spot. Eventually jammed A8s utg and someone woke up with laydeeeeees and that was all she wrote! Really enjoyed the tournament. I played with Phil Laak the whole day and he called a triple vs me and I showed a bluff and 20 secs later I said with a big smile on my face "you're not my hero any more!" and he just tapped the table and didn't say anything, not even a smile. I felt a little let down after that, but to be fair to him once a friend of his joined our table he opened up and engaged a bit with the table. One hand I opened J7s in HJ and he flatted KK on BTN and SB shoved and I folded and he ofc called and after he won the hand he looked up and grinned and said "you weren't calling if I reraised anyway, thought I might as well flat and let you hit a jack or something", made me feel a bit more satisfied at playing with one of my poker heroes. He played pretty solidly too, was overall a lot of fun.
Obv it goes without saying that I know Phil Laak is there to play poker, he's not there to entertain 29 year old Scottish fanboys! Was just glad I got to chat with him a little.
Played a good 10/20 today that started off rly good but then died down a little but was still decent. I won 3.8k in 3 and a half hours and after I doubled winners tilt took over and we racked up and left. In my defence I haven't played as high as 10/20 since WSOP 2018 so it's somewhat understandable, even if still a bit ridiculous. I think if the game were as good as it was when I started I would've stayed, but leaving the game if it isn't as good isn't okay if I'm just going home; there are 4 or 5 5/10 tables I can drop down to and play instead of coming home and having a wank and playing Tomb Raider II all night. Some hands from today...
A few of the 10/20 regs straddle at every opportunity coz they want to play higher. They all sit with like 20k too, which is just stupid for 10/20, but anyway, I'm UTG w A4hh, open to 120, BB reg defends straddle. Don't rate this guy at all. Flop is Q62hxx, we cbet 1/3, he calls. Turn 3h. We bet 580 into 450, he calls. River 9d and we give up (had an interesting discussion about betting river with some friends but I like give up). He turns over 33, glad we didn't fire!
***ROFL ALERT***. Straddle is on again, reg from above opens to 120, we make it 400 w 54cc, he makes it 1300, we peel. Flop is 667sxx. He bets 800 into 2700, we call. Turn 8s and he jams black AA for just under pot, we call. I ask once or twice and he says he normally just does it once and shows AA, I show too. River 8x and I honestly thought I had lost for a second lmao. Good thing I showed when he showed his AA otherwise I mighta fkn mucked, legit thought I had lost the hand. I'm an idiot.
Last one, this is an interesting one. Rec opens UTG to 60, 4 calls, we make it 400 from BB w KQo (we have the fish dominated and plays well vs the 2 regs' ranges of mainly PPs and mid SCs). UTG fish called and T calls. T is Dutch reg and probably the best of all the Euro regs I've played these games with. R will be reading this and will no doubt tell T I said this, but it's true imo anyway flop is K63r. We cbet 450 into about 1300, and they both call. UTG is your standard ABC fish. Turn 8x and I x. UTG has all the AK and they both have all the sets. Checking range here I think. They both xb. Think the fish never has a set, has AK sometimes and T is more than capable of checking back all the sets, especially as his perception of me can be defined as 'spewyb'*. River 2 so 45s gets there but I doubt either of them have that. I think I bet AK and AA here and that's it tbh. Fish xs and T goes deep into the tank. I'm just sitting there like pls dont bet pls dont bet pls dont bet and he eventually xb and I know I win then, which I do!
Played 10 days out of 11, up $21.5k in 61 hours of poker, earning $350/hr so far. It goes without saying I am running absolutely fantastically so far. It'll turn and there'll ofc be a tough spell or two throughout this 3 month trip, but let's press this ****in heater til it bleeds!!!!
* just wanna reiterate my spewyb days are behind me. I'm happy to have people think that about me but I'm honestly a lot tighter these days

Not as good as final fantasy(old school ones obv)
Why do you think calling 4-bets with 45s is spewy? It's a mandatory call unless villain underbluffs, way better than A5s and 98s.
Sick results, gazzy, wp!
Vaaaamooooo

Because it's live, therefore burning money.
