Time for a small update as the month is running out of time and I have to start at my new job next Monday. Gonna grind until then before I take a break to figure out if I have the energy to keep grinding (on a less regular basis). If that makes sense.

We are a bit behind for the 20k hands, but I decided to make the most of my 'holidays' and enjoy a lot of coffee dates with friends and family.

Anyway, it's still going pretty OK at 16n:



Few hands:

Sometimes you just know this is going to happen but still have to jam.

Welllll, I will probably update when July is over and see from there. Cheers!

July
All-in-all it was a decent month for playing poker. I didn't get 20k hands, but it was fun. I realized I didn't enjoy the game this month as much as I did before, so I'm not sure what I'm gonna do. My job starts next Monday and I don't wanna have some sort of urge to play hands in the evening, so I'm leaning towards quitting.

I managed to play 100k hands during Covid and this is it:


The big drop at PartyPoker 25FF and the last 50k hands at Stars. Pretty happy overall, got some rakeback (Party) and bonusses (888 & Stars) so in the end it was a nice ride.

We might continue the journey later and if we do, I'll update this thread again.
Cheers
