It's not completely insane, no, but it's not my choice of sizing. In a spot where the big blind is uncapped, you don't wanna be going crazy with your sizing

I still haven't run it but shoving turn seems like a reasonable option vs this villain

I'm in agreement with this having thought about it more.

Month looking a lot better than it was now which is good. Played football for the first time in ages and we won 4-2. I let in an absolute howler where i thought the ball was going safe by the side of the goal so i left it and it just went straight in the corner Not something i've ever done but it happens sometimes... JVL did score a volley from a corner to make up for my stupidity though

Grind, thrice and more footie tomorrow!

glgl

hey ben can i ask what are your thoughts vs reg with ajss hand? Did you call because:

* reads?
* You are at top of range?
* The turned FD missed which villain would barrel every time?
* 109 missed on river, which villain could barrel turn with?
* You also block JJ & AA

awesome work GL

prob comes closest

He has the toppair, folding toppair is bad.

FYP!

lol

U guys must be very good then. I can't recall a game of football I played with my friends without final score having a very minimum of 3 digits.

SICK THREAD!

whats up !
nice thread will be sure to keep up to date and pop by now and again

keep up the good work

good luck sir

We just can't be folding a hand this strong in the blinds. Obv have a really strong hand as it is but also we don't block the FD and block AA slighty. And yeah blocking AA and JJ too!

yup

this!



haha, or the standard of the league is very low nah, we're pretty good but our main strong point is team work. Never get pissed at eachother and always keep morale very high. Tbf, this is 6 aside so generally there are far less goals than the 5 aside with no throw ins or corners. I've played a few of those and yeah there are soo many goals scored on average

Thanks man! good luck to you too

That'll do, there are plenty more but they're just more standard coolers. Always feel guilty when i run above ev by so much but i know that's just another poor aspect of my mental game.

Busy day tomorrow with house moving stuff (moving into my new flat next weekend) so will likely just put a short evening grind in.

So yeah as i said, i'm moving into my place tomorrow so won't be playing all weekend. Hoping to get internet sorted asap etc. It's been insanely stressful and resulted in me paying the whole 12 months rent up front. A real hit to my bank balance but i guess i get the perk of not paying for rent for a whole year... Lots of loading and unloading vans for the next day or so. Will get some pics up of the new place when it's all up to scratch.

Back to grinding/blogging in a couple days!
