Either way I have feeling you are going to Bink something big soon!
I've been good friends with my backer for a few years now, and I think I've been more than generous towards him. He knows I don't play fulltime, and he also knows school/university is important to me. He knew this from the start, and I don't think you can fault anyone for picking university over poker during the exams or the preparation towards it. The way the system in Belgium is built up, you usually can relax the first couple of months until December, then work hard from december till end january. Relax from february till april, and then study hard again from mid april till the end of june. And then depending on resits, have to study a bit in August as well. So that leaves me with February, March, half April, July, September, October & November being the months I am able to put in decent volume. I'd like to think I usually do so during those months, while I don't even play full-time nor am I being obligated by any kind of contract. Last year for example, I've played close to 4k mtt's while also succesfully passing most of my exams (failed one in the end). This is maybe like the first time since I've been playing for my backer, I am taking a few weeks/a month of from poker during a month I would be able to put in good volume, after having played 16/21 days during the previous month. Also this is the year I am about to graduate (bachelor degree) so I have a few more tasks before the exams such like a bachelor's thesis and a few groupworks as well. So yeah, if I then don't feel a 100% playing, I'd like to spent my time doing something productive for school and other things than poker during the few free time I have. The fact that I am willing to play the scoops + a few good value timbeys during a time I'd usually have to study, actually shows my dedication towards my backer IMHO. Whatever, think about it what you want.
Not much to tell you guys otherwise. Have been ill last week, puked like 10+ times during a 6 hour span, was really painful but recovered pretty fast. Must have eaten something bad I guess. Thoroughly enjoyed paris roubaix on sunday, although I was dissapointed as **** Boonen couldn't close. Afterwards played a small'ish sunday session. Built a few good stacks, played pretty well. Was being put in a few tough spots as well.

This was in the 109bb. Villain was playing all the reds (s500 2nd chance etc as well). What are your thoughts on this one? Do we call/fold maybe jam? What rivers do we call off then. What's to make from this odd play. Wouldn't his semi-blufs bet flop a lot of the times etc.

This one was in the 22 mini-sm. Villain unknown. Jam/call/fold? Flop is definitely debatable/could see a bet def being better. Just thought villain (MP) was going to bet a bit more than he should.
