So like you can see from my last quality update, spent a month at mexico and arrived to cold Finland yesterday. Was sick time and also managed to play surprisingly lots of poker. Really bummed to be back at Finland ;____;
Pokerwise its not been that smooth sailing lately, on a bit of a evbb downswing, but luckily the worst of it is at the lowest stakes I play so $-wise its not really even a downswing.
Also made a decision of not playing 5k anymore, and most likely wont ever play it again (and by this I mean its likely I play at some point again, but not yet). Just realized that its not worth it for me, don't really deal well with playing 5x my average stake and just get too much emotionally invested in the 5k tables. So kind of made the decision of "giving up the dream", by which I mean I no longer try to get to the highest stakes and become "the best", which has pretty much always been the soft goal for me. In a way it's kind of a big thing to admit to yourself that maybe you just can't become the endboss, which I always kind of naively believed could be done. Maybe I could still do it if I just invested everything I can to poker, but don't think I really want to do it anymore. Obviously I'm still studying and trying to improve my game, but starting to focus my improvement more in way to get better vs fish, vs bad regs etc, instead of trying to get my game to a level of endbosses.
At mexico also learnt quite a lot of strat on how to play vs fish in which I've always been pretty bad, and I actually think it's kind of valuable. Shoutout to fishwhisperersmbsbmsmbsbm.
So from now on its just focus on maximally bumhunting 1-2k games on everysite and also play more of 500z and normal midstakes (also probably will battle more 1-2k at stars as its just too much fun). And at start of 2018 will start learning PLO so hoping at the end of 2018 I will be able to bumhunt both games up to certain stakes.
October (5k not included where I lost some, but sold decent % of action for that)
