We can of course limp QQ+ as well (maybe even a bit wider in terms of traps) so in that sense we are uncapped but I think just opening those is very fine too
Might look at the first KK hand in PIO, seems pretty interesting. Ofc it's pretty tough to nail down the SB coldcalling range
Thanks for the great input mate. If you do find the time to PIO the KK one, id be extremely interested to see what you come up with
But thanks again for the support even after your run bad and i wish you the best of luck in wcoop.

Yesterday I was running off a very small number of sleep hours and in the end the grind was sensibly short. Had a few nice ITMs to make the day around BE.
Today (brag) I managed over 9 hours sleep! I woke up feeling so refreshed it was great. Just got back from the gym where I deadlifted, squatted and then came home.
Warning: wcoop induced tl;dr
Refreshed or otherwise I still had some various poker throughts flowing through my brain while at the gym. While I'm not sure productive this I, I'm still gunna blog it.
I'm not sure if this is some sort of paranoia or what, but I do have the impression - or maybe it's an anxiety (because I am prone to anxiety in relation to thoughts and worrying about the future. I don't have anxiety in social scenarios or anything like that. I can spend hours or even longer worrying if I MIGHT have chipped a bit of my favourite mug etc)
yeh so I have been getting this impression/worry that other poker players impression of me is that I am arrogant and think that I am one of the best players around. Maybe its a streaming based anxiety? I don't think I specifically care whether ppl think I suck or am great but I'm a little bothered If ppl think I have a massively inflated opinion of myself.
I need to set the record straight here.
Here are some facts. I absolutely do not think I am a top player. There are many better, many
many better, and much better than me at that. I don't put in the best volume. I don't have the best mental game. I am not the most naturally talented poker player
I get worried when I think about running deep in WCOOPs etc and even other tournies and getting to these situations where the players on my table are so good I am the spot. This has obv happened before and will again. This upsets me because I know it to be true.
So if this is all silly anxiety then great, but I still worry that I have given off this impression somehow.
THIS is what I believe.
Almost every game I am in I am +EV. I have a sound understanding of theory and am confident that I do not make gigantic mistakes frequently in the same sort of situation. I work hard at improving and I am working harder than I used to. I am putting in more hours than I used to. I am doing my best. I am an honest person.
So that's me.
Gunna start the stream soon so it would be cool to see some of you in there to give me some love as for some reason I feel a little low today. If you do read this and drop by say so in chat cos id appreciate that
Sometimes I like the idea of going for a walk and finding some old lady with a dog or just a random person and chatting to them about things and sharing things as a form of self therapy etc etc. I've guessed there are benefits to opening up to ppl who do not know you. Guess ive sort of done this here a little.
just read this back.... just any of this make ANY sense?
hope you are all well. and GL everyone tonight in WCOOP
