2019: Midstakes Cash, Investing Strat and Life Musings
Thanks so much man, really appreciate the comments and the critique. I agree with you for the most part about cutting superfluous words. I'm a big Hemingway fan. I'm also a massive over-editor of my own writing (probably why it takes me so ****ing long...) and this is only a first draft. So I'll likely bin a whole lot of it.
Definitely not overtly nitty and/or critical. Wrt getting over the stigma of posting something in public - no one person's opinion on my writing is ever going to make me feel as insecure as all the **** I imagine people thinking while they read it, in my head. So just go for it. I'd be more than happy to read anything that you want to share.
Hi,
Took yesterday off as was feeling pretty worn out and mentally drained. So instead I caught up on some reading (speed read The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo, which is basically an extended parable. But sort of a fun, if very easy read I guess) and watched a few episodes of Ray Donovan.
Good luck to any and all readers taking part in UKiPT today. Would really like to be there, as I have a big craving for live poker right now. Hopefully someone I know ships it anyway.
Some hands from this morning:

6) Feel like I butchered this vs Reg. Had no timebank

Kind of a swingy day today, but I was able to book a win in the end. I was feeling a bit brave/punty at times, but think most of my play was good/fine.
Think I'm going to have to start posting some graphs or something (even though I really don't like doing that) to liven up this thread a bit. At the moment I feel like I'm just talking to myself.

Hey,
I've been pretty unmotivated to update for the past week or so. I'm still playing every day, but have been break even over my last 40k hands or so. Pretty far below EV as usual, but I've also not been playing my best poker. Had some pretty lol punts of stacks in questionable spots and such.
I'll do a more concise and complete update tomorrow when I have time, for now I'm done playing for the night and off to take the dog a walk and catch up with some friends. Tomorrow is a day for study and database review. Maybe some poker in the afternoon.
Hope you're all well.

Update
Hey, so as promised I'm forcing myself to keep this updated. I guess it's kinda tough when you aren't sure who (anyone) is reading it. Guess I'll keep at it and try and find some more interesting things to update about.
Played a lot today. 5k hands, which is an absolute monster session for me. I know some of you guys probably knock that out on the daily, but that just isn't me. Currently feeling like a zombie and very excited to hit bed.
Aimee and I have been dogsitting all week for her parents, which for the most part is great fun. She's a gorgeous dog and a lot of fun to hang out with and take for walks, even if she is a bit of a rascal at times. But JFC dogs are just so tying! Aimee is obv working 8-5 every day, so I'm just chilling in the house with the dog in between walks. Feel as if I'm on house arrest. I know some MTT guys have dogs and still play full time MTT schedules, and I just really want to know HOW? With walks and food prep for me and the dog, those 5 minute breaks definitely wouldn't cut it. Aimee has tomorrow off of work, and is taking the dog with her to her parents' house, so that I can have the night off and get megadrunk with my friends. Really looking forward to that, as it's guaranteed to be super messy.
Anyway, poker has been breakevenish for the last little while. The games have been really dry for the most part. I don't know where all the big punters are, but I sure hope they come back soon. I've taken a few shots at 1knl this week, with varying levels of success/failure. Today was a good day, along with putting in really good volume I was able to win like $4k or so at the tables. Fingers crossed we can find some late month heat.
__________________________________________
Some hands:
1) This spot sucked. With a timing tell I kinda wanted to fold river, but told myself I can't be folding really strong hands in these tough games
2) Ship vs aggro reg
3) Oops vs reg
4) Bink vs reg. Pre is pretty grim, but opener is a fish, so he probably isos pretty wide
5) reg
6) vs shortstack pro
7) reg
8) vs faceup reg
9) vs rec
That's enough for now, take it easy.

I'm enjoying the thread! Things go quiet sometimes and pick up randomly. Trust me, people are reading who are you on stars? We must've played together today...?
Im reading and enjoying this too!
Still reading / enjoying also. Keep on trucking!
+1. Keep grinding, posting, and writing. GL
Interesting thread! Subscribed
Thanks a lot people, good to know that I'm not talking to myself.
I don't comment on hands cause you're playing way higher than me but still reading and enjoying! Glgl
not sure i'm on board with the ATdd river call.. re-read the HH a couple times lol.
Haha yeah me either. The plan on river was obviously check/fold, but I was watching a zaza video on rio at the time, where he makes a few light calls in big pots in a row and loses all of them. Wanted to emulate my hero.

Hey,
Had a busy few days since my last update. Had a really big, messy night out on Thursday. So I was absolutely dying on Friday and took the day off the tables. On Saturday, Aimee and I had the wedding of a University friend of hers' to go. I knew two people there (Aimee and the bride), but fortunately there was a free bar and a good crowd of people there, so ended up having a really good time. I definitely enjoyed it more than Aimee haha, so was again dying of hangoveritis on the Sunday morning. A couple of wedding photos below with kilt included: (punching, I know )
Got back to poker Sunday evening and this afternoon. The games were pretty good and I played well. Ran really good last night and absolutely horrendous this morning, but still made a bit of money over the course.
I final tabled the Hot $162 today, but crashed and burned pretty early after losing AKhh<KJss, A8o<A4o, 88<A8o and finally 66<ATo to dumpster me. Pretty brutal final table, but I ran good at a few points early on to get there. Thinking about playing a full MTT schedule tonight for a little change and I really like a lot of the new daily additions.
Some cash hands from yesterday/today:
1) reg

4) reg - don''t know if he ever bluffs this size, so probably getting owned
