There are three things that i've noticed in my 1 week hiatus
1) The games seem to be totally ****
2) My crypto is bouncing back
3) PGC has turned into an absolute hell hole, ego **** storm
The past week leading up to finishing my research proposal was flat out. It was unbelievably difficult to get the literature review done given how little there is out there regarding poker and psychotherapy. I did, however, learn a great deal about Gamblers Anonymous, and the realisation that poker is perceived as all other forms of gambling within the psychotherapy world. It was really difficult to maintain an objective stance (which is crucial for this piece exploration) when you constantly see the word pathological linked with what you do for a living.
I think i may have to re-write at least some of it, but it's in now so no need to worry.
The good news is that i don't have to think about that piece of work anymore. The bad news is that i have another deadline on the 9th April which is 2k words more than the piece... and arguably the toughest assignment i'll have to write over the entire course (we get like 1 year to write the dissertation so that's not as bad).
I grinded today for the first time in ages and found some heat which was extremely welcome
Preflop: Hero is SB with J J
UTG folds, MP raises to $15, CO calls $15, BTN raises to $63.75, Hero raises to $140, 2 folds, CO raises to $866.20 and is all-in, BTN folds, Hero calls $500.97 and is all-in
Flop: ($1,365.69) 2 A T (2 players, 2 are all-in) Turn: ($1,365.69) Q (2 players, 2 are all-in) River: ($1,365.69) 7 (2 players, 2 are all-in)
Spoiler:
Results: $1,365.69 pot ($3.00 rake)
Final Board: 2 A T Q 7
Hero showed J J and won $1,362.69 ($721.72 net)
CO showed J 8 and lost (-$640.97 net)
I'd love to say that i have the weekend to grind, chill and recharge, but i have a 'sexuality' weekend, 10-5 both saturday and sunday. Needless to say, i'm very curious what we're gunna be learning!
Obviously will be updating when i play, but i'm not sure when that'll be, if at all. Stuck a chunk as you all know so would be nice to have the opportunity to grind it out a bit.
One last thing. We had our 6 aside final vs a team that we lost 5-1 to several weeks ago. Beating them 4-1. Clean sheet. No biggie
Would be interested to read any of your essays that relate to poker, sounds interesting stuff!
My dissertation will be available to the public, but other essays are very personal + contain analysis of working with clients so i can't offer them! Will let you know when it's done (if it ever happens!)

Had another strong winning day today. Mixed 200z and reg tables 400-1k on stars. Have my party account set up too, but haven't got my documents verified yet.

Understood... you degenerate gambler!
FWIW my undergrad dissertation was about flow states playing active computer games... and I found it a nightmare because it was an unknown area of research at the time. Can't imagine combining that with gambling, good luck is all I can say!
