Wrong.



June



Running ridiculously hot and I somehow turned my month around.
I do owe a bunch of people dinner for saying I'd treat them if I got to break even, but it was a very good investment.

I still haven't done that much work but I did think through a bunch of spots and I think I'm playing a lot better than I was two weeks ago.
The action was great but it's died down a bit. So next month will probably be full of boring volume grinding, but you never know at high stakes.

There was a very big 10k ante Zoom game running yesterday and man that was fun. Almost every 20k+ deep and there was a lot of **** flinging going on.
Running hot helps too.

Great comeback, sir. Hope to see more sick hands on blog before next monthly summary and good luck in July.

Took a couple of days off and I feel pretty fresh. Winning 29k the first day doesn't hurt either.
I went to bed at 5 AM yesterday. At 7, my roommate knocked on my door saying there is 20kNL running, so I get up and the table is full.
So I am pretty annoyed but then get rewarded for getting up.

sickoo

nice read. glgl

Your HH are most entertaining to read, please update more frequently. Any thoughts about player pools and tendencies would be interesting to hear. Good luck at the tables.

dope stuff keep it up

I love your HH's.

Keep em coming

GL!

-0.6bb + 42.5k. That must be teh life, kid

OP confirmed fish

These last couple of weeks have been insane as I went on the biggest upswing of my career.
I came back home on wednesday and I don't have many distractions here, so I will grind hard for one more week and theb take a well-earned week off, to relax.

The games have been great because of summer/WSOP time. I played 15k in the last 4 days and I am pretty exhausted, but no rest just yet!
There were some 40kNL games running and I got to play them. I finished down a tiny bit, but it was great value and fun.


These should be good...

So, I've been grinding my ass off lately to earn my vacation to Sicily, I'm going on thursday.
I can't wait to eats pizza all week and sleep at the beach like a whale.

The action has been good and the run good has mostly continued. Still at 100k+ this month but I've been trying hard to **** that up.
I've scratched my head lately, wondering how I did nothing in school but somehow got so insanely lucky to be playing cards on a sunny island for too much money. It's definitely not a bad life.
