Reg tables have always been know as much softer than zoom, I just like playing a strategy that I have developed which seems to be working in the pools.

I’m playing a lot of 1k reg games now and 500z at particular times can defo be much tougher than 1k.

After stars was banned in Australia I started playing 200z on ignition after finishing at 200z on stars.

Today was, well interesting, the last session left me speechless. RNG rigged haha

You could consider this one:

https://www.logitechg.com/en-roeu/pr...ess-mouse.html

I've never really bothered with a weird looking gaming mouse, but just bought this one and it's pretty awesome. It looks pretty much like an old cheap mouse but it's super fast and comfortable, has extra buttons (although I don't use them yet) and it's wireless. It's actually really slick as well, the minimalistic design is pretty awesome imo.

Just a suggestion anyway

That mouse is very spensive

I’ve got something very similar but I like the clunky click of the cheap USB mouse plus the Logitech chews batteries

Grinding very hard while being at home during the pandemic. Volume is excellent considering im playing around 400 hands per hour.

500z is excellent, 1k is solid, 2k is not so good, dammit.

Game is improving however with a newborn, man im tired af and i feeling its seeping into my game. I mean making quick decisions and also irrational decisions. A recipe to lose alot of money playing 1k!

I looked at my database, and this year, I have had only 5 days off from playing poker......insane hey! Talk about dedication haha, or addiction! Its a fine line, I could just say passionate, but thats what it takes to get good at poker imo.

Anyway, month so far....



Peace out

Insane results dude, wp wp

incredible grind bro! keep it up

World’s fastest rise from .01/.02 to 10/20 right there

Most people get lazy about now & stop putting in the volume. Don’t be most people, dig your heels in even further and pound out hours. This is when you see the separation between the people who are ok with ok years and for people who really want it.

Hard work ALWAYS pays off. Good job man

Ludicrous results recently, keep her lit glgl

He's been pounding out more than just hours...He's a fresh Dad by the sounds.

Thanks guys.

Month was going well up 27k until today. My worst day in terms of $$ ever but bi only like 7-8 so whatever I guess. Started to review the session and a few questionable calls but overall not the worst decisions I’ve made.

Onwards and upwards, just a blip in the graph.

Is it hard to focus on your business/day job when you know your printing thousands at poker?

This was the final result of today after one last session. #notprintingnow

oof

Rough one m8, on the other hand kind of exciting to be having 5 figure days! Let's hope you just have a few more green ones than red going forward

ouch

Change your desktop background for run good.

Calling it an addiction when you have results like that is like saying Michael Jordan had a basketball problem

that's a yucky one man, sorry to see

playing 2k, it'll happen though.

glgl!

haha i like your style, positivity!!

yep

good idea!!

ty sir appreciate the kind words (its just positive variance )

Yep for sure. Competition is much stiffer at 2k than 1k im finding.

Having a day off today and will do session reviews and study. Im actually finding it harder to grind and im tilting much easier due to interrupted sleep and lack of with my son. Hes got a bit of reflux so as you could imagine, he doesnt sleep much at all during the night. Ive probably averaged 5hrs a night, and the past two weeks its defo seeped into my game.

Alrighty guys, just played my last session of the month (day off tomorrow to study) so here are the results!

My best month ever online even after getting my soul crushed a few days ago haha

Played ok overall, ran very well, made a ton of mistakes but ultimately im excited to improve through assistance and hard work. Im really keen to break into 2k but moreso just be confident in situations like bet sizings, how to play my overall range in spots etc etc.
