Great work!

Awesome stuff Ryan!

Awesome to see someone that gave me so much advice and advanced my own game doing so well. Best of luck. #Maytheheaterneverend!!! #crushcrushcrush

sick thread, haven't been on skype/2+2 much lately so this literally came out of nowhere to me great job sir!

pretty sure you have evolved already...

Black Friday was a blessing in very good disguise

thanks guys!



quite possibly

Definitely wouldn't say it was that fast, it's almost been 1.5ish years? I put in quite a lot of volume, that definite helped. I also spend time off the tables trying to understand all the regulars I play against.

inspired imo. Games don't really run past 5/10 on the site I play, I probably wouldn't play higher than 10/20 anyways.

Ran pretty bad and played pretty bad. I'm getting killed at HU this month. It's kind of fustrating because I actually thought I was halfway decent. I'm like ~30bb/100 under EV HU this month but meh, still kinda sucks.

I def feel that I do play better than most the regs 3-5 handed though.

is that last one really that hero-y given how fishy villain likely is? a few of those are dead sexy though

He's repping quads though..

Glad to see you're doing so well, good luck

I really expected to see KK/TT a lot here. I thought he could spazz/valueshove with AA. He actually owned me pretty hard here by having a valuehand that I didn't even consider to be in his range.

yeah he's got blockers to quads and boat combos, pretty good bluff.

Thanks man! haven't seen you around in a while, gl getting back into 6m.

Playing/running well. There's this Portugese kid on the tables 3betting and squeezing the shizzle out of everyone. It's kind of fun/interesting having to adjust. I'm not exactly sure if his style is "optimal" so to say but it definitely gives him action.



I actually had a few pretty terrible days and I'm only showing you all the ones where I'm winning. Will post totals at the end of the month.



#shizzlesqeezed #pokajokes

I was just kind of going off the assumption that he has a lot more hands than AA, KK, TT, and I expect fish to do goofy things like jam a small flush or whatever else fish randomly decide to spazz with (KTo or maybe air if he has the all-in button and this is on merge. i think the all-in button factor alone if you are on merge is enough to make me want to call lol).

We're definitely beat there sometimes but the above plus the fact that sometimes he will do something other than open-jamming with the nuts, limiting his combos of hands that beat us, seems like calling should be good usually.

Anyway seriously nice work man. You clearly have put in a ton of work and it's paying off. Good luck.

You play on merge right? Have you tried cashing out? If so, how quick did you get payment?

In! Some great strategy posts in here aswell as fun HH's. Nice to see someone putting in so much effort to helping others, Good work Ryan!

He was actually a loose passive with 0 3bet % which made me weight his preflop range towards monsters. And ty.

skin I'm on has a way of getting me a "check by courier" which takes ~2 weeks instead of the 6-8 weeks merge is taking

thanks!

Slept through most of today but still managed to put some hands in. Alderny v FTP hearing is tomorrow, we're going to need a bit of run good #onetime. I think I've mentioned it before but I've got a good chunk of money stuck on FTP that I would much rather have in my bank (well duh).

The first part of this graph overlaps with last nights.



#onetime #heyhowardwheresmymoney #ftp

Well seems like we're getting slowrolled by FTP. Pretty much sucks because they have us by the balls and we can't do anything about it. Next "court" date is August 15th. I don't really know what to think. Most of us have already used our #onetime (probably way more than one time).

Today was probably the first time in about a month that I was awake before noon. #feelsbadman #ridiculous. Had to pick up the sister from the airport. Snapfellasleep once I got back.

Watched some Leggo vids last night. harangutang is def good for 6m. Watched some of JoinMyStack's vids too, they were interesting. Took his advice and moved down to try a few things out, it went okay.

I might be posting less hands because the playerpool on the site I play is very small. I play against the regs day in and day out so outing myself would definitely not be a good idea. Especially since the Hero calls do stand out. Sorry .

2kNL was running tonight and I don't think I did so well at them. Tables broke relatively fast and it was annoying having to keep swapping out tables.

Today




#fuFTP #pokajokes #wokeb4noon

Update on last 2 weeks?

just ptr? he lost 10k~ and now hes made 2k back

Not everyone knows my SN and I'd like to keep it that way if you don't mind

Close, but I dropped ~16k. PTR is missing a ton of hands and my WTSD is obviously not 16% (which would be ridiculous) haha

see above!

So yeah the last 2 days of July ended up being terrible. Mixture of runbad, crappy internet, tilt, and autopiloting/not focusing. Mostly disappointed with myself. Nothing you can do except take a few days off to clear your head and then keep jump back on the bike.

So I took a few days off and started and finished the Lord of the Rings trilogy for the first time. It was actually pretty damn good imo. Also started and finished Game of Thrones. Epic series. Kind of sad I rolled through it in a day. #grindingTVshows

Not really up to post the July graph but I'll post it before the month's end. Don't really want to look at it #demoralizing. August started off pretty terrible, I moved down to regain some confidence and ran pretty lol. But now it's business as usual.

August thus far


Flying out of the country to set up bank stuff and establish "residence" near the end of the month. Once I get settled/find free time I'll make a well in the 6m microstakes forum.

woop woop glad to see your recovering well ryan keep it up! cant wait for your well

Wow, looks like you've started august on the right foot. Keep at it man!

fyp

LOTR is the GREATEST series OF ALL TIME.

Pretty much this.

I liked matrix series a lot too.
