Since Australia has banned online poker and now even ignition has been banned too there's really nowhere to play real money mtt's online. So I have decided to only play live real money mtt's.

Goal: To win every live MTT I play.
Goal: Repeat: To win every live MTT I play.

I have other goals like actually turning up to the mtt rather than do other ****. Once I show up playing perfectly is a goal of mine. I don't have any money goals as of yet with this other than make a profit. I might in the future.

Going to play a $30 MTT at the pub tonight. It's a good 20km drive there. Before that going to go and play some pool and hopefully beat my opponents in that and then go for a swim for some exercise before the poker mtt.

Didn't win. Had 39500 left with 2000/4000 blinds so just under 10BB's (they hadn't taken the 500 chips and given us 2000 chips from the last blind level 1500/3000). Shoved it with 66 pre 8 handed in position 3 MP. got called from a guy on the button who was crippled if lost with AJs. Flop comes Ks6c2h then a J hits on the turn and another J on the river sending me to the rail.

A few key hands. Have 66 again and raise it to 600 preflop with 100/200 blinds In position 2. get 4 callers. flop comes 6K9 rainbow. Blinds check. I check and another player checks. Turn is 4. BB bets 600. I re-raise to 3000. SB check raises to 7000. BB folds. I shove my 29000 stack. SB calls with K9 two pair against my set and I hold.

Also I spewed 15000 at least on the river with this hand. Player in MP goes all in for 7000 at 1500/3000 blinds. call by SB and I call with KQ (I think I should of re-raised) I had around 60000k so 30BB. can't remember the flop. turn is a 8. river is a T. I bet 15000 after it checks to me and SB has checked all the way. Before I was about to bet she says there's no point betting. She calls with Q8 and the other player had AK and was sent to the rail. blew 15k there on the river.

I Poured out a diet creaming soda after I got home tonight. Gotta start eating only 1 cup of oats plain for breakfast with a glass of full cream milk and 1 lemon squeezed into a cup warm water, 150g of boiled chicken breast with 1/3 cup of brown rice and 100g of broccoli and cauliflower for lunch, and 150g of boiled chicken breast with 1/3 cup of brown rice and cauliflower for dinner. Drink at least 2 litres of water a day.

I did well tonight not buying any coke or any of that ****. I've had 1 beer in 9 months and never was a huge drinker so I wanna stop drinking full stop.

I'm 97kg (214lbs) and at a height of 175cm 5 feet 8.9 I'm pretty much obese. Doesn't stop gay guys telling me I'm a good looking guy in a club or girls flirting with me. Tonight there was one gay guy looking at me in a looking to get to know me sort of way at the table playing cards and 2 girls one the owner of the bar and another a tall blonde chick who was with her friends at the bar. Didn't approach them or talk to them but they were keen. Everyone else not down to **** at all and there was probably 50+ people there.

Goal tonight is to spend 12 hours posting in the mtt forums on 2+2. Responding to posters explaining how I would their hands if I was in their shoes.

Good luck in your goals , KQ is a huge mistake as you ha s to show down vs the all in player regardless with King High so the bet has 0 upside

Time to think big.

Goal: To win the WSOP Main event.
Goal: In the same year win a $1 million buy-in MTT

I'm not going to play any poker until I buy-in to the main event at the wsop. I'm going to focus on work and studying poker. Buying all the books, getting a solver, training sites, reading articles, watching live poker and online poker.

I'm also practicing my chip tricks. Currently can do shuffling of the chips and the chip flick with both hands. I wanna look the part at the final table of both events I will be playing if I happen to bink the main and make it to final table of the million.

I really need to practice counting people's stacks. I will go and rail the poker champs at the casino and try and count peoples stacks. There's also pub tournaments every night where I can go and rail for a few hours. Get's me out of the house for a few days a week to also socialize.

You would of had a full house in the hand you listed. The pub dealer shafted you.

It is a pub. Probably all were drunk.

Today I'm spending a few hours to practice the chip twirl.

there's different ways of doing it and I'd like to master them all. And with both hands.

I am a Degen at mtt's so i'm going to go and play a $30 mtt tomorrow. Totally Degen I am. In my mind I have to win to pay the rent, bills and groceries.

Tonight might just browse the mtt fourms and study a few hands.

decided not to Degen tonight playing live mtts but rather get to bed early.
currently reading seven habits of highly effective people by Stephen covey. its a interesting read. I'm looking to change habits. reading bits and pieces and in the habit 7 chapter it talks about the importance of exercise for the physical body. I'm going for a 30 min walk now and try to walk quite quickly to get the heart rate up. Before the walk however some stretching and after the walk some more stretching.

Just did 30 mins of cycling on the stationary bicycle while watching 30 mins of beginner bridge videos. Having 12-19 points in acol bridge I have realised you should be making a level 1 bid. 1c bid could mean you have 4 club cards plus 12-19 points. A=4 K=3 Q=2 J=1.

When you have two 5 card suits and 12-19 points in your 13 card hand you would bid the highest suit which is spades.

order of suits

Spades
Hearts
Diamonds
Clubs

**** happens don't care.

When you have two 4 card suits bid the lowest suit first. say you have 12-19 points and 4 spades and 4 clubs you would bid 1C telling your partner you have 12-19 points and 4 clubs. Between you and partner your looking to make a 8 card fit. I assume partner will try and tell you via bidding if he has 4 cards to give you and him/her a 8 card fit. I don't know the bids for that yet.

Spades and hearts are a major suits and the minors are clubs and diamonds. I will practice looking at spots and counting the points and working out what to open bid for awhile until I got that down to a fine art.

I wonder if theres any bridge players here in the clubs that like to play poker sng/mtts. have to join to find out. got to get better at bridge first though.

Mahjong is another game I'm learning.

Fun fact. It originated in china. It was developed in the quig dynasty

It is sometimes played with four players. Sometimes 3 players. There's solitaire mahjong online as well.

The object of the game is to match all the tiles.

In mahjong there's 144 tiles.

I would love to Degen in some live mtts in mahjong. I love mtts. lets learn this game.

Going to play the $55 25k on ignition in 12 or so hours. Looking forward to it.
