Thanks a lot for the kind words! That's certainly something I've thought about and a bridge I'll have to cross once I get there. For now I'm going to plough on and do as well as I can. Maybe PwC has an amazing internal private 5/T game full of fish?

Sick work ethic mate and very nice month!

I'd be surprised if PwC didn't have some sort of internal game going.

Hey man nice results, well done for plying 200 hours for the month that's hard graft...

Just a couple of things @£17.23ph with a 55.8% win % is just ridiculous and in my opinion will not be anywhere near your true win rate. I noticed you added on the last couple of days as that's where you had a couple of big wins however without those couple of days your win rate would be approx £11.50ph which is still pretty damn good @ 55.8%.

What times do you play?

Hey I play live in London too what software are you using to track days

I play Monday to Thursday 7-11pm and as much as possible Friday to Sunday.

I use Poker Journal, love it.

Interesting thread and solid month at those stakes.

You sound very dedicated and I'm impressed with your work ethic. I went through a 'similarish' background. Qualified at KPMG, but played online the whole way through, pre and post BF.

First year at KPMG (on top of work), I played c500k hands online, which was about 1000 hours of playing, plus c1000 of studying/forums etc...

My one recommendation to you would be not to overdo do it in any aspect. It's incredibly hard to balance social life, work, gym, poker, (girlfriend).

If you're grinding c200 hours a month and working the same I guess, 400 hours a month it's not sustainable, especially as we're not even factoring in travel of c50 hours a month.

Basically I'm just trying to say, be safe and look after yourself - physically and mentally!

Good luck and I'm sure with your work ethic you will achieve great things in this game!

I second what Robert said: I found I had to dial back my poker almost entirely because playing on top of working 400-450 hours in a professional role each month was entirely unsustainable. You don't realise how important your sleep is (never mind everything else in life) until it's too late.

Amazing results - just keep a balance.

Nice results and chip porn! I love the Vic chips, miss playing there

Good results pal. I play often at the Vic too. Keep crushing!

Tell me this thread has been quiet because you have been crushing the **** out of the games and haven't had the time to post in here!

Unfortunately not! I ended up getting the job at PwC which is obviously fantastic but I've been so busy since then getting ready.

The stake is going on hold until I have got a better idea of how much time I'm going to have to play. I've been on a big downswing with the little time I've had to play but still in profit for the stake so can close it up if it looks like I won't have time to play.

In better news my friend shipped the Sky Poker 6 max event at DTD for £60k!

So much epicness in this thread of late, will go for a beer if your keen sometime. Gl

GL at PwC! Expect you'll be working at least 300 hours a week so not much time for poker!

300 hours a week ..... tough break

Poker will be slightly on the back burner but I will start playing more online again and I'll be sure to keep the thread going with Life and Poker as it continues!

Well, I'm going to have to keep card sharp somehow so I'm going to give myself a little $10 challenge to keep things ticking over. I've never professed to be an online phenom and I'm not sure I'll ever be one but a little practice can't hurt. I'm thinking about throwing it open to you guys about what I play, I'm happy to play more mixed games or mtts/sngs I don't mind. Have been playing a little Razz this evening and won a bit, be nice to spin this up a bit while I'm sorting out my work schedule and seeing if I still have the time to pursue live poker!

I'm not expecting this to be a $10 to $10000 or anything like the others I've seen here but it'd be nice to see where we can take it to keep us in the game.

Evening from the country.

I had a think about what I want to do with online poker and I've deposited $60. This should allow me to play any type of poker I want at the lowest stakes. I'll keep track of any mixed games in Excel and everything else will be in PT4 as usual. Hopefully this will keep me reasonably sharp and interested in playing which can always be a problem with online poker for me!

5 card draw

Thread is overrated imo

Subbed

Hey guys, hows it going?

Been a long while but it's time to revive the old thread! My new job is absolutely kicking my ass, I've played live once or twice since September

I'm dipping my toes back into the online game to keep playing, I deposited $100 this weekend to start at 2nl and won 25 buyins by last night, will move up to 5nl this evening.



I managed to up my run to a 10k Randall! I need to get back on the fitness as busy season for us at work is coming to an end, no more 15+ hours days

I've also just reread the post that Randall quoted above about how I wanted to improve my career, financial and physical health. I've made some good progress I feel. I'm in an awesome new job at a Big 4 Accounting/Consultancy firm, I've really cut down on my drinking and I'm taking steps to get back into decent shape. I'm eating a lot better, doing 3 meals a day which is something I really didn't do in the past and drinking mainly water. I still have a couple (very small non-poker) debts from uni but they should be gone by the end of the summer. I'm hoping with a much more solid foundation in my life and being generally a lot happier (although I've never really been unhappy) I can push on with a bit of online poker among everything else.

It's good to be back.

Whaaaaaaaaaaat

I probably just ran like god, things did seem to fall my way. bankroll started at $100 and is now $149 and change.

It was nice, at one point I had 1000bb stacks on both my 2nl Zoom tables.

Good to hear you doing well buddy, all the best.
