hey guys.
things are going good since last update. won 8.5bi at 100z sunday, altho i lost 2 at 200z before switching pool. ran very good monday. tuesday and wednesday i played reg tables, 100 200 and 400, it all went fine. 200z pool was awful at the beginning of my sessions but when it got better, i closed reg tables and only played zoom for rest of the day. today went great as well results wise, i'm guessing. i checked results tuesday because the session ended badly-ish (was +100 for the day). since i moved up to 200, i check my results far more often esp when i lose, also i check things like WWSF and W$SD while playing (never did that while playing 100z and checked results only once a week). i also sometimes check results during session, havent done that in years. i dont know that its the biggest mental leak but its probably not good in general. i say that it might not be the worst leak because when i lose in session, i often assume the worst so checking my results will either be bad as expected or not that bad and the latter will encourage me. i will still be looking to fix this.
i've been reading about success and how to work hard and this kind of stuff, also ive been studying more poker. great stuff, i play with as much confidence as ever and i should shot 500z real soon! i've been playing poker everyday in march, i'm pretty exhausted (+ i get up early every day for gym/study poker). it wasnt my plan to play that much but i take a day off when i have the opportunity to (activity with friends/gf, im too sick to grind etc). so sometimes 1-2 days off a week, sometimes none. so yea not much has been going on this month i guess, friends are studying for uni etc. also i hit 100k vpps for the year today, it would have been earlier but i didnt play much on stars in january. i'm going snowboarding in an hour, the temperature has been above 0 celcius for a while so it will be a comfy day at the mountain.
i will probably post a graph in the next update. i'm pacing another 10k (pre rakeback) month. let the run good continue! hands:
vs a straightforward/boring 100z regular who was apparently tilted saturday night

fastest call (on river) ive seen this year vs winning 500z reg. was at very end of session and i was prepared to smash something into pieces. not surprised he called that quick with this combo tho, he's a gto machine (some would say he's an actual machine).
