Basically is just an investment. I wanna get into real estate eventually as an out from poker but I feel like you really need chunks in the bank to get something decent with no salary.

I feel like this could be potentially -EV in that it really takes a lot to adjust to the vastly differing play styles from Stars to China. I think for me focusing fully on the main money maker is going to be the go.

I definitely understand where you're coming from though... itching to fire up Stars again :')

Good luck and Good fortune.

Daily Update - Sun 23 Sept

It's currently the penultimate day, starting on Monday (tomorrow), will be fully into my new routine. Really excited for the forthcoming week. Unfortunately, however, results last 3 days have been terrible. Think I've played fine but have basically just been coolered a bunch. There's probably a little bit of pay-off-wizardry sprinkled throughout the past few days as well because I'm trying to gauge what people are showing down with, so maybe slightly overcalling some rivers.

I've also only played a couple hours each of the past 3 days because I've been adjusting to new software - I also don't have accounts for all the apps yet. Hopefully my agent will have some more chips for the account I busted today so I can grind more than 1-2 tables tomorrow. Over the past 3 days I've played 7 hours and I'm down 5,177.95 or a little over AU$1k.

Weekly Gameplan - Mon 24/09 - Sun 01/10

Monday - Gym, 7 hours volume, chase up bank regarding my card being fkd
Tuesday - Gym, 7 hours volume
Wednesday - Gym, 8.75 hours volume
Thursday - Rest, 7 hours volume
Friday - Gym, 7 hours volume
Saturday - Gym, 7 hours volume
Sunday - Gym, 7 hours volume

With that schedule, I'll be able to have both a rest day for gym AND a day off from poker on the following Monday which will be nice. It's going to be a challenging week - I imagine I'll be pretty sleep deprived as my body is forced to wake up at a certain time and probably won't be able to sleep when I wants it to. But hopefully we're getting some better quality sleep in toward the end of the week. And hopefully I can look back on my first official 43.75 hour working week here in Thailand fondly, hopefully with some $$$$ in the bank too.

This coming week is also going to be pretty piss poor in terms of actual hands played. I imagine I'll be playing on average 2-4 tables at a time. Probably at fairly low stakes as well. The reason for this is simply because I've still got 4-5 apps I need to test out and figure out which ones I like and want to make my main grind. Hoping that by the end of this week, I'll know what apps I want to play my volume on and I'll have accounts with chips sorted so that the following week I'll up my no. tables played concurrently to something meaningful.

I've also managed to come up with a visual representation of results... Warning, she ain't pretty...



This is how I'll post weekly graphs. Because I know how much we all like graphs. Anyway, not the best start to my non-Pokermaster Chinese app adventure, but I'm feeling pretty confident and excited about trying out a few of the other apps over the course of the coming week.

All the best to you all for the coming week also!

good luck, hopefully you enjoy yourself with that schedule.

This is sick, love the discipline oozing from your writing!! I planned on taking a gap year from my career to do something similar at the end of next year. Keep us posted, would love to chat to you more about the lifestyle over the next few months - Goodluck!

maybe change the currency of your graph to AU or US. those numbers have no meaning to us.

GL!

Subadubdub! Enjoy Thailand

In,gl!

+1 for more apartment pics. GL grinding, be sure to reference this thread on ESPN when you bink the 2019 ME.

The deep work really got my attention, one of the bests book I've read on my life. GL man! Don't you think that you donwswing at the end may be the effect of chinese black friday, a lot less recs?

glad to see you back in pgc streetz, gl

<3

Appreciate that man Definitely plan on writing a bit about the lifestyle here.

Yeah you're right, I've changed it so that I have the giraffe in AUD, it's easier than USD because it's just the RMB value *.2 almost always.

Cheers m8!

Living it up!

Yeah I'm going to wait til next Monday to post more pics. I have to get reception to remove this TV from the wall behind my station and then I have a siq Thai poster thing I wanna put above the screens on the wall. Gonna look siq af. Hang tight!

Also, when I ship the 2019 Main, I hereby pledge in my acceptance speech to say "shout out to ..." and will list every subber ITT for sure. <3

Dude how good is the book! Today already I've lain on the beach for 40 mins, smashed a 100 minute workout, played 7.11 hours of poker, gone out to the shops FOUR times, and I still have 2 hours before bedtime, during which I'll get 9 hours sleep!

Honestly hugely recommend reading this book for those of you looking to get more out of your time.

Also the downswing I've been on lately definitely not due to Chinese black friday I don't think. Just ridiculous things happening over and over again, in 1m+ hands I never experienced anything so brutal as the last idk 30k hands or so. I think a lot of it can be attributed to the multiway nature of these games.

Glad to be back! <3

Daily Update - Monday 24/09

So the first official day is in the books. I played a little over 7 hours and won about $720 - but I have no idea how tbh, I found myself constantly slamming my desk frustrated by how much under EV I was running... I'm not usually one to get physical when running bad but it was a very very frustrating day indeed. Anyway, also had a good push session in the gym.

I have had some revelations re my eating arrangements today as well. Currently I'm getting up, snap going and getting a big meal, coming back to lie on the beach and digest, then snap going gym, snap coming back and making protein/carb shake, snap playing session 1, snap getting another large meal, snap playing session 2, snap going out again and getting another feed, and then going to bed. I went to 3 different restaurants today and tbh it's just kind of tiring. Also the only thing I can really get that's within my budget is pad thai or fried rice lmao. It'd also be nice not to have to go out so many times each day.

So on my day off on Monday I'm going to buy a ****load of oatmeal and granola and I'll just have that for my breakfast at home. I'll also get a bunch of rice and chicken breasts and I'll just cook chicken/rice at home for dinner each night. This means I'm only going out for 1 meal per day - I should save some money and some time/effort too which is cool. Also it's very difficult to get portion sizes I want out here. I'm bulking and want to eat probably 3k-3.5k cals a day. I ordered 2x chicken fried rices for breakfast and the waitress just looked at me confused. Smashed em and was still kinda hungry.

Anyway, back to the poker, today I played on Face Poker, Superpoker, Wisdom Poker, 1Pokerstars App, Oh Poker, King Poker, and Kingdom Poker. I have formed opinions on all of these different apps and will probably proceed by dropping Oh Poker, Superpoker, and Kingdom Poker to focus more on the other 4 apps.

Back at it tomorrow with a pull session at the gym, more eating, and more poker. Have an hour to kill now, might read some more of Deep Work while in the bathtub. Oh yeah I also have a ***** jacuzzi in my bathroom. :')

GL to those battling it out overnight while I'm hopefully deep in a slumber.

Did I not reply or did you have it deleted? Please be the former.

Huge pottential on this thread, you write very well qnd organized, and the pictures make everything more interesting, keep them coming.

Wish you the best with this, Will be following

Lets. ****ing. Go

Why not just buy land? That's what I've done down here in Mexico (US citizen) and planning to buy more in the nearish future. Don't have any immediate plans to build a house anywhere, but just am holding the land within my company. It seemed difficult going in for a US citizen to outright own land here in Mexico, but very talented lawyers make things quite simple, so even if you think that's not possible in your situation, it's something that you could probably look into and it might be quite doable

Is one of the only things we haven't figured out how to make more of on this earth...land. If smart about it, should be a relatively risk free investment with a bright upside and not many downsides

Gl on the tables

GL with the move, sweet view, sweet grind station!
