Hi guys!

Short description of me.

- 30 y old male from Norway
- Played most formats both live and online cash and mtts!

I started flirting with slots again for maybe 1 year ago, and its highly addictive, I blocked all slots/casino games from sites, but then I encountered a site with GREAT poker action, only problem is that its not possible to block slots here.. Two times I have built up roll from $500 to $1500 usd over a weekend and then blasted it off on slots, it happened again this sunday, very tilting after a hard weeks grind!

I will wait for the site to credit my loyalty award and then take my final spins on this site, and then I will self-exclude myself from site for a couple of months. Missing great poker games but having casino/slots open is not good for me, I`m sure many can relate, and its obv a sign up gamblng addiction.

Starting roll GG yesterday: $287
Got 3th place in 21.60$ bounty for $210 so new roll is $500

I will be playing MTTs and cash GG from Wednesday to Sunday and post graphs/results everyday to keep my self accountable. I do not expect a lot of people to comment or even look at this thread, but it will be nice for myself to lock back at, and perhaps it will be a cool story! I will perhaps go play live this weekend, there is a good tournament saturday + some good live games (underground) as we are in Norway.

I`ve been sober for 4 months, problem in the past have been playing drunk, problem now the last 4 months when building roll have been blasting off poker winnings at slots.. it is what it is

Well, I am motivated to grind this $500 during the next 5 days at GG.

Will probably be playing a mix of cashgames both rush and cash NL/PL or regular PLO5 tables, $25 buyin, and tournaments from micro to medium. BRM with high risk as I do have a regular job, with good income.. Been paying off some debts the last 12 months. xD

In the next post pictures graphs/pictures and a more structured text will be posted.

GL friend. Prioritize getting your addictions under control right away. I know I'm repeating what you already know but the fact that you need to block slots and can't just stop is obviously a little concerning. I myself am prone to addictive behaviors and it took a long time to get it manageable. What's live poker like in Norway? Is it all underground games or do you have poker rooms?

On Pokerstars, you can exclude from slots etc, and games are way softer than people say. The few 25$ tables of plo5 are very good games, same as Omaha tournaments, trust me.

As soon as you feel the need to play slots again, simply pay out 50$ and give it to some charity, and post the receipt here. Thatll also give you a dopamin-kick

Best of luck to you.

Break yesterday! I usually only play thursday to sundays as its hard to combine office grind 8 hours monday to friday and find the energy to workout at the gym and play poker!

Started off blasting roll down to about $250 with MTTs and NLHE cashgames, a mix of regular 9 max ante tables $25 buyin (200bb) and some NL25 zoom, started off good but got frustrated with ppl only playing nuts, switched to 6x PLO25 regular tables and had a really good comeback there with 2x 500bb stacks! Running good obviously
PLO25 is obviously too high for $250 roll but getting sallary every month so reload is an option..



Startroll Tuesday 9th of April: $287
Roll now: $428.38
Killer Whale Cashback: $58.82
Daily Flipout ThanksGG starting stack: Around 50k (GG Freeroll flipout)

Bigdave: Yeah thx, I know, will have to cut the slots back 100%.
Parasense: I can`t play Stars as its prohobited in Norway, but GG works fine for now. What do you think about GGs plo5 games at these stakes?

Plan for the weekend is to continue stay sober (been 100+ days now) and stay off slots, and grind PLO5 cash, combined with some NLHE/PLO mtts!
And of course a couple of workouts/hikes to stay GTO!

I never played on GG, hence dont know.

Good morning!

Woke up early and had a morning walk/hike in the forrest on empty stomach with coffee. Nice with fresh air, sun and d-vitamins.

Got myself a chicken sandwich and large coffee and started the grind.

Fired up some speed racer MTTs + PLO5 $25 and $50 tables, and some Rush and Cash $50 NLHE.

Got it in really good 2 times vs this fish IP, with like 80% but he got there both times and run 1 once.

PLO50 is way to high for roll but as stated it can be reloaded and we are on a little bit of gambol/high variance route.

Invited for beers and football at the pub in 2hours, so will grind my ass off now and see if I stay on the grind today or go out and socialize. Also there is a 100$ live tournament small field at the local club today, like 100 meters from the pub, so we might take a few bullets there.

Haven`t played slots since this post with the exception of freespins awarded, and will not play slots again, its in the past and time to move on.

I have played LIVE mostly (small fields avg buyin 100 USD with re-entry) and won 2 out of 4 tournaments, chopped one 3 handed and busted the latest one early.

Will start playing online again and track all my results with reasonable BRM.

I am going through Elliot Roe A-Game Masterclass at the moment, and my next course will be Pads on Pads RIO.

Will post update here 2 times pr month.

I have started a little grind project at GG NL5 rush and cash will update with graps later.

At the same time im playing 1-2-4$ live and I am staked at 0.5/1/2$ online app game.

This NL5 rush and cash project is to check where im at and get a reality check. Ive mostly played NL25/NL50 and I am probably not good enough playing with scared money and mental issues dealing with swings, probably too nitty or to aggresive, need to work with GTO Wizard and start learning again, its like 5 years ago I actually took poker seriously.

Ive had many shots at big live events but never made FT, im in my thirties now and starting to get grey hair, so about time to either make this **** work or get another hobby like golf of something.

K guys, graphs later hopefully I will get a dopamine kick! Btw im grinding with beers, thats just how it is, not on a regular basis but today im hangover as a kite and doing my best to fight it.

If anyone actually follow me I appreciate if you leave a comment peace
