Thanks dudes for the replies, haven’t replied cuz I m in Greece trying not to dwell. Funeral is on Friday back home, will reply at some point between now and start of wcoop. Doing my best to get into a decent start position for that

Have a nice summer yall

Sorry for your loss mate, can absolutely relate with what you were feeling with regards to how good it would be for it all to end. Went through the exact same thing with my grandparents, and just didn't want to see them lose all dignity and independence towards the end. Hope you're coping okay, and that the shoulder has healed up!

Oioi

So obv going home for the funeral was mostly real bad. Fortunately it all went smoothly at least and I was soon back home trying to get a routine going of playing and physio. The latter did happen but playing I feel like has simply not been falling into place at all. The few sessions I ve played have been mostly negative in results as well as either ability to maintain focus or mood bring shyte due to runbad. I’ve def fallen out of practice. And sadly last week I got sick including a fever which has prevented me from getting in that much needed practice. At least I saw the ul crew for 464s bday which was great fun. Doubt bdaykid remembers much but I somehow woke up sick that day and came back from the club at 4 am having smoked and not feeling bad the day after.

So ya played today and got rekt to the tune of -80% roi on a high abi Sunday. Classic. Made 2 day 2s one Monday one Tuesday so there s that but one is short so w/e

Have physio in 7 hours so should prob get to sleep and gonna grind a little Pokémon in the afternoon cuz somehow that s still fun to do when I m unmotivated to do anything else at all so least I don’t bum around on the couch all day mondays

#getalife

grind pokemon? is that a thing?

Haha yea it takes tons of time and distance to advance in that game :P

Played two short sessions around the day 2s I made to not much avail. Playing a big one tomorrow. Starting to enjoy poker again despite getting rekt all the time since June

Think I ll play a fairly low avg buyin next month bc I doubt I ll get into peak buyin range form by then and I cbf stressing about working every day. Sad considering the form I was in back in may but not much I can do in that regard.

Least shoulder is recovering faster now. Started rotating it this week and exercises are now more towards building muscle rather than getting range of motion to expand which is a nice change of pace.

Gotta cherish the little things

played today and got this




and this



losing session but at least i got in some nice runs. might play again tomorrow, might take it easy but kinda enjoying playing lately despite burning through money every session i ve played since surgery. my play has been very solid, i ve been pretty attentive to the little spots that i used to miss. so ya, possibly last session of the week tomorrow, steak dinner friday, some people's wedding staturday and then its crunch time. best of luck to ya, and enjoy the last few calm session before the sht hits the fan

You buzzing for WCOOP mon frere?

Hey mate, I know you've had a torrid time lately but just wanted to say hope your doing a bit better now. Hope the shoulder is on the mend and you have a great WCOOP. Nice work in the big44 too

GL!

a bit, mostly just happy i m back to grinding shape health wise
oioi! thanks for the nice words broski, gl to you as well

sooo day 1 is in the books and it was a stinker.

player very well for my longest sesison since my surgery, player 12.5 hours and 8k hands but got my ass beaten very hard whenever i managed to get some hope. highlights include:



for 2.3x average stack with 6 tables to go in a 100€ 6max wina series event



a 5k ticket 'bubble'





a wcoop ft bubble



and this on my last table which ended up being a 7th place in the big 20€ which coulda saved the day.


somehow managed to not tilt at all and just power through, pretty proud of that. i made a day 2 for tomorrow so gonna play a late nigh sesh before grinding a full one on probably both tuesday and wednesday. maybe wed off and play thu instead, undecided. enjoying the grind and happy to be back working good hours.

as for the shoulder its def improbved lately, sadly my therapist is on vacation so wcoop will be with just one single session with a replacement therapist this thursday. gotta make sure to get in my exercised regardless.

anyway hope you all have a good wcoop. peace

wp, I'm really glad you're back on full speed pokerwise, keep the grind going ! GL!

Oioi!

Think I forgot to update the last session I played, alas, nothing noteworthy happened there but I recall not losing too much so hey there s that.

Yesterday was a very weird session. Basically at the start I was undecided whether I wanna play the three 1ks on stars/ Party and preemptively sold for them just in case. Started playing fairly high abi and then the first 1k kinda looked meh so skipped that and once that decision was made it was like the gods went “ok you poossy you will regret that decision” and from 3pm until 11pm I lost every showdown bricked everything to the point of actually getting tilted. Obv slipped the other two 1ks as well feeling like that and then somehow managed a large daysaver with one of my very first and very last tables of the day:

Grabbed the HH from skype sorry for the garbage format. Fwiw I think the sizing choice and combo are fine despite being a busted fd, I still unblock enough river folds and actually block somof the more likely ax combos given pre so ya w/e

Won’t lie feels amazing to get a score under the belt again for the first time since late may. Will be back on the grind soonish. Peace

Yesss. Nice score big lad. Big up <3

oioi

played some sessions last couple days and donated back my winnings from sunday by plaiyng a little too nitty and running absolutely terribly. heres basically how todays and yesterday went in a nutshell:



UTG: 623,771 (78 bb)
UTG+1: 101,844 (13 bb)
MP: 191,412 (24 bb)
MP+1: 42,152 (5 bb)

Pre-Flop: (18,400) Hero is BTN with A♥ K♥
3 players fold, MP+1 raises to 41,352 (all-in), 1 fold, Hero calls 41,352, 1 fold, BB calls 33,352

Flop: (134,456) 7♥ 2♣ Q♥ (3 players, 1 all-in)
BB bets 64,000, Hero calls 64,000

Turn: (262,456) 2♥ (3 players, 1 all-in)

(Equity - Pre-Flop: 9%, Flop: <1%, Turn: 0%, River: 0%)

BU (Hero) shows A♥ K♥ (a flush, Ace high)
(Equity - Pre-Flop: 38%, Flop: 27%, Turn: 0%, River: 0%)

BB wins 1,182,990

the villain in question is a 50% vpip massive whale, would expect a bunch of Qx to take this line as a bluff because thats how he played. also just completely disregarding his propensity to go around throwing money around. how does he even have a QQ in his range to begin wit came 2nd in some french mtt for 1k to break even today despite playing 3x day 2s so thats lame, not much else to report. have a bunch of grinding planned going forward but tomorrow looks kinda meh. might play friday and/or saturday. peace

How's the shoulder??

Slowly getting better but no swimming et al till Christmas time ish. Will probably never have both arms behind my head lying on my back ever again but that’s ok as long as sports works again

Isn't this a clickback pre?

it usually is but both sb and bb were whales and i rather play pots with deep spr with them than isolate a 5bb shove. normally wouldnt flat i agree

played more and got rekt more in all the deep runs i managed to get. its been a pretty silly week of somehow managing to play every single day no matter how late, and somehow managing to find at least my b-game for most of the session only to get my dreams rekt in the funniest ways for now 7 days running. least i managed the aforementioned deep runs to not actually have a terribly losing week but still one comes into series hoping for more than that. the fact that i played a late session today means i m starting late tomorow, which is fine, couldnt actually be bothered gettign on the grind at 2pm when theres so much to play. rahter get a solid amount of sleep. gf goes away for the next week so maybe i ll break records for playing 13 days straight. dont think i ve done that since 2012

gl to all the heroes tomorrow

got completely murdered today. negative winrate negative blue line terrible redline, just complete garbage card distribution throughout the entire day. nothing in the way of daysavers or anything, pure aids. hope you all did better, prob taking two days off

Bump

been gettign rekt every session i ve played in what must be two weeks now. legit no session there s even as much as a tiny bit of hope just straight up wreckage including losing showdowns so much that my last 3 sessions my blue line has been negative haha. classic series grind this ways. good news is series are over and i actually might be allowed to win again but who knows

classic no updates while losing obv

wwie....prob never

gl bouncing back big bossman, hope the recovery is still coming along

Stay strong brother!

Wanna trade getting rekt for hope?

They're not mutually exclusive

GL
