Thanks bro, looks like you had a decent SCOOP, hope youre having a good time in Euroland (if youre still there).

Haha thanks guys! Had my **** together til this weekend, ended up missing all of today as I went out to celebrate the Hawks making the Stanley Cup finals (gogogo hawks!) + celebrated one of the bros bdays.

However, starting tomorrow, I'm going to attempt to not drink again until I shut down for the year in ~ October. Have many reasons wrt why I wanna give up drinking and think if I can go a decent amount of time just working on health/fitness/grinding, I'll have built a good enough routine that it will just become second nature, and I really need to make it happen. Also really want to focus on grinding hard all summer long, as I did last summer when I started digging my way out of that $inf of MU, so keeping myself away from any drinking (which leads to partying) seems like a good move.

Anyhowww, month graph below. Gla in June!

Offering freerolls on that 'no drinking' prop? And are other substances allowed?

Nah no FR, think that Ruse and I might work out a bet of some sorts possibly, but if not will just be a willpower thing that I think I won't have a problem with since I just won't go out as often once NBA/NHL playoffs are over with.

No other substances either, not that they have been a problem this yr.

Sick month btw, meant to congratulate you the other day!

__________________________________________________

Easing into the month so far grind wise, will be back at it tonight. Just had to stop in to say I did a (rain)worthy thing yday, I played and lost both $'s and EV at 4 formats . Lost at 200plo zoom, 200nl zoom, hyper sats and 25bb hypers (hifive). Built a ton of stacks in mtts but couldn't get anything to pan out, best results were 3rd in the $102 hu hyper and then 11th in 1 of the $109 turbos.

Planning to put in a decent sized 25bb study sesh now and then will hit the 25bb grind with some added turbos this evening. Played a real quick sat session earlier in the day as I overslept by a tonnn today (and just got back from running errands with Ruse) but w/e, was exhausted after going to the gym apparently.

Game 1 Stanley Cup finals tomorrow, lets goooo Hawks!

What are your thoughts on CM Punk? He's like the face of the Blackhawks fans now, right?

P.S. I don't follow hockey, but I *do* follow wrestling because I'm a dork

lol uhhhhhhhh no hes not and even tho you dont follow hockey if youre any kinda sports fan and are visiting chitown during the season you need to go to a game! the atmosphere is literally like no other, and there is dimepieces galore always at hawks games! fk tampa, LETS GO HAWKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That post def doesn't make me want to go to Chicago

lol, well your loss if you never been or never go. best food, best skyline, etc etc etc best city in the world!

0/3, but lfg hawks

3/3! whens the last time canada won a cup?

Ya this guy screams Chicago IMO

GL on the no drinking jdawg, if for a moment I can follow the trend of everyone else in this thread and offer some unsolicited advice , just remind yourself of all the bad things that happen with a hangover (feeling ****ty, eating ****ty, opportunity cost of not grinding). The juice isn't worth the squeeze as often as we think.

I wish you GL in the finals, and even though they're so damn good the only thing about Chicago I don't like is the f Hawks lol.




Les Habitents!

One of the captains is bringing the cup home to Canada either way.

Haha read this again today and agree with you completely. Unfortunately I wasn't able to not drink during the NBA and NHL finals, but am looking fwd to those series being over and am pretty confident I won't have more than a casual drink or two while shooting pool til the end of the yr when I go home.

Hope you and the family are doing well!



Quite the failworthy start to the month. Have barely played and when I have, been getting absolutely **** on. Really am hoping the Hawks close it out tomorrow and then I (guess) GS to close it out in 6 so I can just focus on poker and health/fitness until I go home for my surgeries at the end of the yr. I would assume I will have some freerolls up for the no drinking and fitness stuff once Ruse gets back and we discuss a possible HU bet between us.

But yea, been enjoying time with some of my buddies down here sweating NBA and NHL games, shooting a lot pool, and all around having a great time. Probably not the most ideal time of the yr to take a break from the tables, but I think after SCOOP was over I was semi burnt out and taking a breather for a while was possibly needed.

Not sure if I will manage to make it to 2mil VPPs, will be kind of interesting bc I think I'll have to decide on dates to go home/surgery dates before WCOOP starts, and my ending VPP count will highly depend on how much $1768-3502 action there is. Whatever, not too worried about it and will just see where I'm at heading into WCOOP.

Anyway, MTD graph below, hopefully will be back with some freerolls in a few days, and lets hope I actually put in some grind hours this week . My goal that comes to mind is to put in 30 hours in since I'm not sure I've played 30 hours total this month yet. Oh and LETS GO HAWKS!

Bossy graph, just happy I'm running hilariously bad during a time where theres hardly any 357 action and no higher games in the lobby

Put up such an awful effort this week at SNGs that I'm punishing myself by playing an MTT session today . Nah, really looking fwd to building stacks and playing to the best of my ability today! Big big schedule as you can see, might end up cutting the Betsafe MTTs as the software is so lol_tilting, but hard to pass up on that value!
