He is probably a winner, an ******* too.

Don't respect his 5-bets boys!

Vaaamoooo

Lmao, good to know I’m not the only one getting **** on at the tables. But take it easy boys!

Thanks for tuning in zinhao, glgl at the tables

Almost forgot about this one. Did NOT expect to induce from this hand.

Question: Is it still a coffee bet at $2bb? Cheeseburger bet?

This bloke sounds like another reason for your poker players being the cesspit of humanity theory. I can't believe some people would go out of their way to just be a complete **** to others. They get absolutely nothing out of it but just bring so much negative energy into their lives and others.

Truly, I think the poker community houses some of the worst imaginable people!

Coffeebet only counts as coffeebet if called not raised. I m sorry bro

yup, annoying af

Whereas Pattaya, Thailand is a shining demonstration of the best of human kind in this dark dark world

Haha in fairness, when I said it in your thread I meant it affectionately. But you’re right. A lot of poker players are the absolute worst.

Surely my bet is still a coffee bet. He just threw in a couple of croissants and some gingerbread syrup.

Pattaya, alike parts of Antarctica, is truly the last remaining pristine environment on earth.

ty bro, gl for you too )

Decent volume again today. Played alright. Made some pretty clear mistakes and one pretty large punt (I think, will check later)

Other than that I spent most of the day value betting non-nutted hands vs fish on rivers and getting the dreaded min-raise. Genuinely not sure there's a worse feeling in poker haha.

Off to London to see some MTT buddies tomorrow. But they have a decent grind set up down there, so I'll still be trying to keep the volume up.

Pz

can relate

Ended up going out Wednesday night and had a really good night with the lads down here, so didn't play any hands. Hungover AF all day yesterday and still feeling it today. Graph from yesterday.

Going for a poker Xmas lunch today and then travelling back home this evening.

Had some more fun interactions with Khrzpkr23, who last night told me purposefully tries to look nerdy on his insta, but is in face a power-lifter who could beat up everyone in the 200z pool. Amazing.

Actual real life rakeback!

That means software thinks you re a whale

what the actual ****! I have genuinely got $60 total from 49k hands this month....

Haha, I dunno what to tell you there man. That seems inordinately low. Apparently you're 1/10000 on platinum chests to hit the $1k. I did also play a few hours of Stars blackjack earlier in the week while waiting on a flight, so could be what Blakkman said .

lol buddy of mine hit 1k too like first few days after the chests were released, he thought it was normal, I explained to him he was a gigantic lucksack

no ****ing way!!!! yaaaaaas

geez, he's confirmed crazy

Yeah, regression to the crate mean today with a couple of $0.53ers



True.

----------------------------------------------------------



Grim volume the past couple of days. Had loads of IRL stuff to attend to with it being this time of year. No complaints though, I'm always super grateful of having a job that allows me such freedom when I need it.

Some overdue food porn pics from York. The photographs really don't do the experience justice IMO, but in terms of taste and texture Tommy Banks' food is right up there with the best I've ever had!





Menu and some food snaps from The Black Swan in Oldstead



And some photos from Roots, which is more of a Tapas feel



Aimee and I pre meal somewhere

Played really well today I think. I do think that I'm slightly over-folding in certain spots vs the 200z population, but from what I've seen it's likely a valid adjustment.

Also did a few hours of PIO/H2N work with a mate today and feeling way more confident about a couple of recurring spots where I was kinda just mashing buttons before.

-----------------------------------

Got the last game of the 5s season before the winter break tonight. It's a dead rubber as we had a couple of forfeits this season due to injuries and holidays all coming at once. We're playing the team that have a lock on 2nd, but if our better players show up then it should be an easy win for the good guys.

It's so so dark and cold here like 90% of the time right now, and I'm struggling for motivation to want to do anything. After the summer we had, I no longer feel like I'm conditioned for these long winters! I've ordered one of those ultra bright SAD lamps for the office, and started taking multi-vitamins to see if that helps. On the plus side, I've been able to do loads of studying and reading. I always read like 10x more often in the Winter. Currently working my way through the new Michael Lewis book 'The Fifth Risk', as well as 'Sapiens' by Yuval Harari. Sapiens is super interesting, and I'm a big big fan of ML. He's the absolute best at laymanising (word??) things without making the reader feel like an idiot.

How much was the food? Were those only for 1 people or divided between 2? Were you full after eating?

So each person gets everything on the menu at TBS. Tasting menus are generally lots of small portions, and this was no exception. Ridiculously full up by the end of it, especially considering each dish has a beer or wine pairing. Think the menu was around £110 (£135) per person. Aimee booked it 6 months in advance for my birthday. I’m sure a lot of people wouldn’t see value in it, or would consider the whole thing a bit gluttonous. But personally I absolutely love fine dining and trying new food and drinks.
