Sounds great, GL. What limits will you be playing?

2/5 unless things take a turn for the worse

Went to “lux cafe” for breakfast, food was disappointing with how good the reviews were. Not terrible, just overly fried and greasy. Grabbed some green tea from Starbucks and booked a decent sized win at 1/2 PLO. Rake being $5 cap seems really nice, compared to the $13 I pay locally. Game was nice but action nitted up eventually and left shortly after. Friend is delayed a bit, ended up booking a room at harrahs to get a nap in before I get my room for the weekend. About to take a nap, then figure out the vibes for the night.

In Uber heading back, had another W session very short though. Super tired, went to some 24h diner with a friend. Had a nice buttermilk fried chicken type thing. Looking forward to a good night sleep.

good luck in Vegas Knox

Small W today, got buried then unburied… went to Bavette’s which was nice, but too salty and greasy again haha. Feels like a trend also went to tacos el gordo with a friend which is always awesome.

Live is so soft in Vegas compared to Vancouver honestly lol. Might aim to make some weekend trips to Seattle/portland area.

No poker today, just some food, picked up a gift for gf, and relaxed. Back to work tmr back home! Overall up a bit on the trip, not a huge success but could be worse!

Sup?

Playing a bit, nothing of note happening. Plan on getting into 5 card next month, after cooperation with coach is ended. Have a pretty good idea of what it takes to get good at a game, and from what I’ve heard 5 card is in a really good place rn. Expect that my approach will translate really well to 5c.

If you have mental game issues in 4card I would be very careful jumping into 5card. Why do you wanna switch games if crushing? GL whatever you do

shhhhhh

🤣

Wasn’t planning on switching games - want access to more non ignition volume once I hit 2/5 or 5/T.

Agreement with coach ended, time for focusing on moving up slowly and sustainably! Crushing the games these days, excited to see what I can do with the knowledge I’ve gained.

Apparently 6 card runs on both betonline and stars…. Sounds pretty good to me

Won abt 40BI last week, playing over rolled is the way to go!

Hopefully we make it back to 2/5 soon.

Back at 2/5 shots playing 10-12 tables crushing ppl. Goal for near future is play a lot of hours and keep rest of my life taking as little time as possible while maintaining balance.

horrifically bad session vs insane 100 vpip whale at 2/5 dropped 6k today feeling horrible rn... Back to 1/2 for a bit I guess... just can't seem to run well for 2/5 off stake

Ended up battling the game a little bit more, won about 500. Lost a 3.5k pot to the whale though... And another like 3k pot... Really sucks I just couldn't win in any of these 700bb pots... Still back down to 1/2 for now unfortunately, everybody else had 1000+bb except one fish but I could not beat this guy at all... Definitely feel like I got absolutely robbed from my EV in this game... Was about 25k on the table. If I ran reasonably well would have been up ~10k on that table.

Min stacked 1k plo for a whale, got stacked hand before I sat out after tripling up lol. Found another whale at 200s and ended up winning like 3bi overall. Games seem pretty crazy rn. But running kinda bad.

Basically even lol.

big session we are very much back. Almost had to reload playnow for VIP was down to $35 and my $400 buyin... spun that up to 4.7k awesome night honestly. Running kinda bad at 2.5/5 still but won 7bi at 100s, and 15 BI at PL60 20bb.

Focus for increasing volume is flexibility to play VIP games... Need to be able to stay up super late to battle these guys if it's one of those nights.

Your discipline has gone out of the window since being off stake. All your previous tilt issues seem to be coming back but because you won instead of busting the account you're happy and suddenly no one is cheating any more. Couple of posts ago you said being over rolled is the way forward and now you're short stacking PLO1k and once again boasting after almost deleting your roll. You claim to not be in a rush to climb the stakes again until comfortably rolled so why are you putting your balance down to $35 once again? GL man I do hope you make it but you're following the same pattern as when you blew up your account before

I have over 150bi for main stake rn, I only had 20bi on playnow - and almost had to reload at my shot take stake. Compared to the past where I never had more than 50BI for a stake. And often would play with 20bi at main stake.

Tbh part of it was smth a peer told me that “whale game at higher stake vs HU battle at main stake, one of them you need bigger bankroll. And it’s not the whale game”. That was what got me back in the 2/5 whale game in the first place.

Ie better to minstack 1k for someone losing 50bb/100 than play a bad 200s, from a BRM perspective.

But yeah could have been more clear, sry for the confusion.

GL mate, hopefully you suck up all the money just be careful with who you shotake against ect
