busto or robusto?

I heard he became a delivery guy

I’ve been grinding high stakes live haven’t had the chance to update thread in a while.

I’ve played live everyday for the last 3 weeks from stakes 25/50-100/200. Probably the hardest time in my career so far. Adjusting to live swings is honestly insane. I was up a lot then I lost a lot. I don’t feel the stability that online brought me. I feel stuck.

My current problem is that all my stuff is in the US. Im still in Cyprus but my trip is ending in a week. Not busto but definetly going to have some rebuilding to do in the 5/10 streets online when im back . PLO is a brutal game and the live factor of playing 30 hands / hour while being unable to win for like 10 days straight is physiologically challenging for sure.

I came in with a all in or nothing mindset since I know I’m crushing online and this could really catapult my career so I don’t really regret the experience. I got to travel a bunch .

Just craving for some normalcy and stability in this poker journey rn. I move to Chicago in 10 days so I’ll hopefully finally be able to settle down, get my work set up going and just chill. I’ve literally been playing poker on my ipad for the past month because I don’t have a functioning computer. Like all these small things add up in the type of guy that needs a perfect environment to excel

Anywho, I’ll try to not forget about the thread and keep yall updated but yes I’m still alive and grinding. I still have high hopes and ambitions I feel like it’s pretty normal to go through this eventually I’ll make it

playing on your iPad? why didn't you just buy a laptop for a few big blinds instead?

I’ve spent like 4000$ on equipment already that’s broken I’m taking a stand. I have a brand new MacBook Pro that literally broke a week after I bought it and they didn’t have the part to repair it while I was staying in Lebanon so I’m just gonna fix it when I’m back in the US. Definetly me being stubborn but also like my luck has been so bad

that makes a bit of sense, however, i imagine the $EV gained by playing on a proper laptop vs slouching around with an iPad would have probably exceeded the price of the damn laptop.

unrelated: care to divulge how much was lost in those live games?

Are you playing with all your own money in these live games? These shots are def make it or break it moments
