Great results. I'm a bit puzzled over moving to Australia , considering the fact poker is essentially banned here, and your options will be far more limited? What are your poker plans moving foward?

btw ben
what was the most important thing that made you from a good 200 or 400nl reg to someone who beats 2knl and 5knl? Is it autodidactic or did you join a coaching group of some sorts?
Mastering both the mental part of the game as the skill is amazing to me. And to think we were grinding the 50 and 100nl full ring games at some point

cheers Ben! we'll be in Melbourne. my gf's is originally from Brisbane though. I liked Sydney but it felt a little corporate, so we decided to go with the more London vibe instead

Good to hear you've found something beyond poker to give you purpose, without the money being the main motivator.
haha thanks bro. money definitely does motivate me and I frequently have to check myself when i have that feeling of 'MORE MORE MORE $$$'

yo. i presumed ACR (as i already grind) and then ignition. I also heard that with the right affiliate i can play gg too. Seems like enough? Or maybe i'm missing some laws/regulations. Please lemme know!

tbf mate, I was a dreadful player for aaages. break even rot bag rb grinder at 100nl for like 5 years haha. Honestly, it's been down to a mixture of luck and then hard work. As you know, a lot of the UK crew/old fr crew quit playing poker when things moved more toward solvers. A lot of these guys could have succeeded imo, but for one reason or another they decided to quit. Whether that was due to their desire to adjust, or boredom with the game (definitely the latter in a lot of cases), they naturally fell behind. I just kinda decided that i was gunna do the work that it took to improve and keep up with the competition. The information is there, just gotta get hard on it!

Aussies can play on acr if they already have an account and ignition. still a lot more limited than you would be used to. dont think GG is legal.

We don't have grades at most gyms for bouldering in melbs sadly. Most venues use their own colour system so it doesn't really overlap from gym to gym. Altho there is a nice bouldering scene here, esp in the inner suburbs (northcote, Collingwood) so lots of options

ah i see. when you say 'already have and ACR acc' do you mean someone like me who has made one in a country that's allowed? Yeah, i appreciate that it may be limited, but tbh, it's not the end of the world if i make less/cover my expenses for 1-2 years. The motivation for us being out there and having embracing the lifestyle/my gf being able to spend time with her family far outweighs the need to print. Appreciate the info man!

Ah i see. That's all good with me. I'm hoping to get a coach when i'm out there too. Plus bouldering will likely be the only place i'll be able to make any mates

so regular games def better than zoom games haha

is this mostly stars? because i try to rail HS on stars from time to time but i rarely see 1knl+ running... and when it does its 1 tables and usually all regs.
so really more impressive to get a nice volume on those stakes and beat it confidently

lolol, glad to be an OG
but what is going on that the preflop pot is $600 (with 5 players) and everybody is checking?
Mastering Mental Game and Mental Health Quote

Bomb pot presumably.
Best guess from a non OG is that this is some sort of Dolly Parton 9-5 reference.
I expect the full sum of above pot if this is somehow true.

The deepest dig of my career. Ngl this one feels pretty huge. No where near worst in terms of bi, but a long way in $.



Hope y'all are good. A lot's changing over the next couple months so i'll hopefully make an update before the end of the year.
