Thanks! It was just a few dollars shy so I won't consider it a 5 fig day yet
So yesterday I tried to take a nap at 1am to wake up and play more but ended up sleeping for 6 hours, not quite a full nights sleep so I napped a little this afternoon. But I got in decent volume yesterday, 6 hours and almost 7 so far today. Going to get a few more today as it is Friday night although I have a friend staying the night that will complicate things. Results are solid! So far at 69.283/150k. Really running it up, this is my August so far:
$1,663
$2,154
$0
-$877
$6,475
-$1,521
$9,923
$554
$7,006
$5,861

I got on a new site too that has stupid rake but a good rb deal so I'll see how that experiment goes. Games are weird and I can't tell how bad/good the players are yet over a two day sample.
Maybe this is really bad? I'm honestly not sure. Maybe could size down 4bb or so but otherwise don't know what to do. It's crazy that I'm running so pure but still dumping in spots like this

Yeah so I had heard from others.
It was alright. So a friend of mine came thru and had a few tabs on him. It was more of a split second decision rather than a planned adventure but I decided to take them around 11pm. I enjoyed being outside during the trip because of how sharply I perceived my environment and how engaging with people felt more intimate. I got to watch some really dope multi-colored lights shimmering on a river that were coming from the balconies of townhouses and talk to my friends about love and relationships. A few other things happened, did a line and played a poor game of chess, went out on a pub crawl and talked into the late hours of the morning as well as took more acid maybe halfway thru. Around 6am when my last friend left and I went to fall asleep is when the tripping really kicked in. The hairs on my arm started to grow and the hairless section of my arm had long hairs curling out of it. The shadow formed from the crook of my elbow expanded as I relaxed my vision and I could see a narrow band of bright gold shoot across my vision as sharply curved lettering burned into it in black with a greenish hue. After it had drawn out, the darkness splintered into pieces and was replaced with kaleidoscopic polygons like a rounded tessellation that twirled about. Around then I refocused my eyes because I didn't want to wig out too much and I noticed a teddy bear next to me that I carry as a memento from a girl at uni. I consciously ignored it at first because I didn't want to animate it in my mind but eventually I worked up the courage to acknowledge him. He was fine although his eyes looked disappointed in me for some reason. I keenly remember being aware of how single I am. I really do miss having a partner, then and now, and I tried to rewrite my okcupid bio
, would not recommend that. At the time I was re-prioritizing work and relationships to switch my emphasis towards finding a partner. Wondering about whether I should travel around the world looking to meet as many people as I can and try to find someone to spend my life with. After I sobered up fully (which took till the next evening) I realized that those ideas were mostly caused by the LSD and my sober self isn't actually that lonely. I do go on a lot of dates, there just isn't the substance that I would hope for with any of them, yet at least. I was worried that tripping would make me become aware of some underlying moral conflict involved with playing poker or landlording but thankfully nothing like that was triggered. Instead, if anything, it made me want to work less and find a partner. Don't worry though, since my trip I have redoubled my efforts to put in good volume and played a full Sunday yesterday. I'm glad I did it but it's not something I would repeat anytime soon and I don't think it had the degree of impact on me that it would have if I had taken it a few years ago. I've emphasized ongoing self-reflection/evaluation and truthful introspection as core aspects of my being since '13 or so and as a result I don't think there were truths to uncover during my trip. With that said, maybe a few more trips would unearth some things, but I don't intend on trying that anytime soon. I'm happy with my life. Life is good.

So I got in 7.5 hours yesterday which was alright, booked a 7.6k win. I had a really nice time with my friend that came over, I just got home from grabbing coffee while seeing her off. Today feels like it's going to be a really productive day. We still have some yellowtail to finish off so hopefully she drops by again tonight. Up all this $$ but still I spend 6 pounds on wine

Ya same. I wanna be just like BERRI SOUR when i grow up lol.
Do you prefer playing plo online more than live. I haven't played plo online but the rare plo game that gets started at my cardroom is insanely good. Im considering putting in a lot more hours in live plo when i move to a casino that spreads it regularly. What would you say are your main reasons for playing online plo more than live?

Yeah I definitely prefer online to live because I play a lot of tables so I'm constantly making decisions. I don't have to sit there and play four hands an hour. Also live plo variance is glacial it can take years to converge on EV so what's the point if it's the primary vehicle for doing your job. You're just gambling on the macro level at the end of the day. That applies more to high stakes live plo than low stakes because of the difference in edges and stack depths. My graph this year doesn't really have variance because of the volume I put in.
Here: x axis is hours from jan 1-aug11 this year, y axis is $ won from aug 16-aug11 so pretty much my first year as a pro although I went full time technically end of December.
Spoiler:
See what I mean? Now if you play live you'll get some months where you get absolutely torched when you brick your 5 biggest pots and there's no way to rostucko. Although I still had a roughly 400 hour break-even stretch (maybe 150-180k hands?)
Today is going so-so. I punted the nut flush blocker into a straight flush and made a few river calls that are def gto but might not be good vs capable regs that might not be as capable as I think. I'm somewhat deep in a plo mtt so hopefully I take that home. 4 hours in so far, got another few in the tank

sick stuff man. read through the 1st few pages and then skipped back to here. Going to have to review some of the PLO hands
I knew from the first few posts you were destined for success and $, keep it up. Your quotes and thread have been inspiring and fun too read. You are heading in the right direction young buck.
here for the PLO and RE. I have listened to Rich D Poor D on audiobook recently and going through it a second time even, now on Keller's, Millionaire RE Investor.
You saying that poker is a negative net loss for society in your opening paragraphs stuck out to me. It really is true though. It's not a great habit. When everyone is showing up to take each other's money and sit around in the process (plus often time other unhealthy stuff, especially live environments), it is really undeniable that most(all) of their times could be spent doing something much better.
"So be it, let's play some 4 card. utg it's your straddle."

Thanks man I'm content with it but I have bigger goals. I should have had ~1200 hours in that graph but I didn't take my job seriously enough. Come Christmas this year hopefully I'll have a 1600 hour graph (year) to show.
Ya enjoy. Thanks I appreciate it. I'll look into the Keller book, what are some of your take-aways from it so far? With respect to real estate, I was interested to hear the other day of harry dent's suggestion that the upcoming slowdown in the markets will be from the top not the bottom. Have you heard of this?
Today's just started, got in two hours so far. I've got a quick date later tonight then will play afterwards. At 76.336/150k and 75:08/200:00 for the month. Probably won't hit 200 hours since I'll be traveling some at the end of the month but it's still something to shoot for. Maybe I could put in a few extra hours on the weekends.
