Hey guys, long time no talk
I've reached 1M hands at 500z ever since I moved up there in March 2017. So this is the graph for 500z from March 2017 till August 2018 (18 month period).
So yeah decent stuff. Studying a lot lately. Next step will be 1k.
As irl, I spent March and April in South America with some friends. I had such a blast there, would def recommend. Came back in May to Canada for Scoops, had a couple deep runs, and one 5 digit score, but nothing crazy.
Then left again and went to Playa del Carmen for a few weeks and met a ton of poker players and had some memorable nights there. Made new friendships and just was awesome as a whole.
Place is nutworst though if you ever want to work hard and study. I feel that if I would live there, I would just do drugs and party all the time.
But yeah, for a short time, its cool.
Came back to Canada again afterwards towards end of June, I was sick most of the time and didn't play much poker at all. Had too much family stuff to attend to, and I just didnt seem to find the time to put in any work. Wasn't really feeling good about my game. This was end June and whole month of July.
As for August, I decided that I needed to get my **** together. After spending most of Spring partying in SA, and then just going degening in Playa, which then resulted in me getting sick and doing jack **** for a month and a half, I had to do something.
So I spent the whole month of August at my grandparents house in Montreal, while they were gone in Europe for the summer, to play a 100k hand month.
So yeah, all I did in August was play 500z, study 1.5~2 hours everyday and go to the gym. I saw friends maybe ~4 times during the month lol and played tennis like 2-3 times, thats it.
So anyhow, that was my lockdown month, I had decent results and my game is now back to being pretty good I would say. But it's not something I would want to do too often. Maybe once a year.
As of now, I'll play some 1k in September, maybe some 2k if tables are good.
Also looking at some places to go for fall as the weather will turn to **** sooner than later here. Most likely will go back in SA or I'll go to Western Canada. Supposed to go somewhere w family for the Holidays but nothing is planned yet.
Anyhow, that's my life atm. I'm not sure what I'm doing here, like I don't think I'm reopening this blog for good, but I guess I'll post every now and then when I have something worthy to post. I had to let go of the fb page (even though a lot of people told me they liked it) for irl reasons.
A lot of fellow poker players told me they liked my blog, which is always good to hear, so yeah that's why I decided to update on reaching 1m hands at 500z.
Cheers,
