nice job OP! you grinding stars only this year or also on euro sites? how do you find the games on stars now as compared to last year?

so sick, gj

Holy **** dude, sick effort to get out of that hole.

I don't post here a lot, mainly post live, but i'd love to know your screen name Thanks Giev, gl

Wow, that graph/this thread/you make me want to change everything in my life and work as hard as you do at this game. You are a sick warrior, regardless of what you think about yourself it is true.

You give me hope showing that if you work your ass off and want it more than anything you can do anything.

how the **** do you post live

wow. even more of an impressive comeback given that you were down close to 70 buyins

how did you manage to stay motivated to play near the bottom? what did you tell yourself when it feels like there is no light at the end of the tunnel?

Omfg, that is like...omg.

Thanks for the update Giev. Nice recovery!

thanks for the update, really inspiring, you've shown again that it's better for the downswings not to approach you

Wow, thats one hell of a job there man. Impressive. Did you at any point during that 200k DS (it may sound silly) doubted yourself and did you find it hard to sit down and grind? Glglgl

hey giev, sick recovery well done.
Where are you getting most of your action btw @ 10/20+ ?, cause i hardly ever see you @ stars anymore (could be different time zones)
Also lately whenever ive checked the ongame lobby action their has been dead.. and have no clue where else action is generated.
gl for the rest of the year

I feel like a bitch now for whining about my 5BI downer yesterday. Strong 68BI rostucko is strong.

Wow Mighty impressive, glad your still updating even if it's only every second month GL Sir.

That's a large amount of big blinds... Was there something in your game you had to iron out?
What I mean to say is when you look at the downswing do you consider the losses born of tilt/poor play or did you really run that badly over 75k hands?

200K hands :| nice comeback!

Grinding at both and stars games seem to be exactly the same as last year.

I had motivation the whole time but I just ****ing hated the game when I lost every day. I told myself start playing better -> grind more -> win money back.

Yes I did doubt myself and I did have hard time to grind. Sometimes it was really hard to put in the volume when every day I was thinking that 'this is the day I turn this sh*t around' and then lose 5buyins in the first 100 hands of the session.

Most of my hands comes from stars. I'm pretty sure that it's the different time zone. Almost every time I see you coming online I'm ending my session and going to sleep since it's around 4am here.

There was autopiloting and C-game involved. And maybe a hint of bad luck.

Your work ethic is so impressive.

How many hands have you played this year? and how many hours?

Idk about the hours but 100k hands so far.. And I played only one week in january.

do u listen to music while u play?

Giev have you played much full ring (if at all)?


whats your opinion on differences/benefits for both 6m and fr?


Im an FR player and just curious, Fr unfrotunately only goes up to about 1Knl so I def plan on learning 6m once I settle in at the top of fr. whats the biggest adjustment switching over you think?

thanks for your opinion and gl man

when i ever feel like giving up or that im running bad im gonna look at this , props men

Such a sick thread, and even sicker run to get back to positive.

do you only play 10/20+ or still some 5/10?

Sometimes yes.

I play sometimes fullring when scout or someone sits there but not often. Idk about biggest adjustment.. Play more hands?

Only 10/20+ at least for now. If summer is going to pretty much kill the games again I might need to add some 5/10.
