7 weeks into my "SexyBeachBiestFromChainsmokingOldNerd" Challenge time for a before - after pic 
managed to do 4 (ok 3 and a half) pull-ups today ....... may not sound like much, but at the start I was far away from doing one and at 193 cm / 6.3 and over 100kg / 220lb (a wild guess, i have not weight myself for years, but quite sure not under 100kg still) and 49 years => quite proud of myself
not to forget I had a nasty ear infection for almost 4 weeks, so the intensity of the workouts was mostly way less than i planned, cardio also max. half from what I could do, and alcohol wise I was not disciplined at all (never drunk, but a couple of beers / wine at dinner and sometimes some schnaps at night). Food wise was good imho.
did lat / back/ biceps/ abs today
did not log last week (had a friend a family here)
- lat / back/ biceps/ abs
- chest / shoulder / triceps
- 2 times up the 640 steps to the Trsat Tower
cheers

in general - once u get used to the taste of croatian seafood, there is no way back, its the best in the world ........ and if you eat in a trusted restaurant or buy it at the market, you can be 100% sure that it swam in the crystal clear adriatic sea max. a day ago

scampi tartar marinated (holy ****
)
cuttlefish carpaccio warm in cream (mamma mia )

Life:
My son was here for the last two weeks
We raved our asses off for 3 days at Wake the Lake Festival (Fotos): Beautiful location & climate at a secluded lake in the Croatian mountains, very nice mixed crowd, quick & simple Covid testing, solid djs (3 floors: techno, house, d&b/breaks), huge areal, not overcrowded anywhere, also because mostly local djs despite of the huge areal of the festival, which I liked a lot in Covid times
What I love the most at festivals in the nature at sea / lakes is the magic morning time / afters (slept like 4h Thu - Sun night
)
After Hour at the house floor:
My 19y boy picked up a 24y girl at the festival and now is off with her for a week on the Croatian islands - so fkn happy for him
Poker:
Last week I played more poker again, its going quite well (only thing seems like I still run bad / play bad on bigger fts, will make an extra post for this topic):
Workout:
I definitely hit the (sexybeachbeast
) goal, as even young hot chicks hit at me at the festival, not even to talk about some women closer to my age at the dancefloor ....... did not (manage to..... ) take advantage from it, but thats (mbe) a topic for a bigger goal post I have in mind......
Thats it for now, have a big goal post for the next year in mind though
Cheers

my last 16 fts (including nutbubble):
So I got 1st to 3rd 7 out of 16 times and 5th or worse 9/16 times, which seems what one could expect, BUT:
Lately I usually come in as on of the bigger stacks: Playing high variance late stage for sure hurts my winrate, so I better convert these bigstacks into big binks ffs.
Also a 1/3 ratio 2nd/3rd awfully hurts, as I mostly play pkos and here the payjump is huuugee
And the worst: The 1st / 2nd are all my lowest buy-in plus small field mtts, the big buy -in / huge field mtts are all either bust in 3rd or bust early
=> I am going to review all fts by myself, write a short analysis (bubble stack, strat in general, mistakes), mark key hands, and go over them with my coach.
=> Resulting adjustments I made with my coach.

just a quick graph update 2018 to now - the direction of the curve seems promising
(this year I made some k more than shown due to loads of free tickets from leaderboards and higher rakeback from stars)
most credit though goes to my coach at Standard Backing, because I still study wayyy too little by myself

quickly two fun (ok, one not sooo much fun ffs) hands from the wcoop 109pko turbo
1. hand: hero call bvb early stage vs Brasil crazy mofo
i raise 4x pre (he covers me) - he snapcalls pre - flop, turn I x/c, river I snap off, cause he reps **** (most two pair he is 3 betting and the others for sure not snapping in on the river vs my 4x pre vs guy who covers me range), and I have the best blockers possible
2. hand: close to bubble:
I defend hu, flop x/x, he bombs turn and river, so he is capped to one pair mostly, river I x/shove (great str8 & 2 pair blockers)
thought that this midstake crusher might be able to find a fold there, and give the lowstakes fish credit :P, but he snapped me off (had a huge booty, probable too ambitious from me)
Hand (he had kq):
Villain:

tyty
.... still "some" dummies to beat for a bink though
good thing is the 530.- ticket I won in the ps ticket lottery, so basically a mincash = breakeven weekend (still not gonna pussy out on the bubble for sure, mtt seems fairly soft, just hope for a good seatdraw in the bubble game and not some crazy - mofo - bigstacks on my left ....... and if, I need only 2 cards for a 4 bet )
