I've decided I'll finalize my APT Daegu schedule and start planning on what I'm selling.



Above is my schedule. I edited to block out the stuff I won't play. I'll be going the weekend of Friday March 25th to Sunday March 27th. I plan on playing three events:

Friday, March 25th 1:00pm - 660,000 Won NLHE Bounty (450,000+150,000+60,000)
Saturday, March 26th 3:00pm - 550,000 Won Pot Limit Omaha (500,000+50,000)
Sunday, March 27th 3:00pm - 440,000 Won NLHE 1 Day Event (400,000+40,000)
Total Buyins are 1,650,000 Won
The first two are "2 day" events where the Final table is the next day (8 handed). The last one is fortunately a 1 day event. At the moment, I plan on selling 50% of myself. I will accept Stars/CAD bank transfers/paypal (only from trusted friends). Stars will be the primary source for transactions. I will ideally want that. If you're Canadian, Bank transfers are perfectly fine too. I'm with TD and BMO so we can figure something out.

I'm going to charge markup. The fields are infinitely soft out here in Asia. I feel it is easily justifiable. Exchange rate used will be from xe.com at 3:54pm JST February 22nd.

I'm selling at 50% at 1.1.
1% - 18,150 Won - $20.20 CAD - $14.70 USD
2.5% - 45,375 Won - $50.5 CAD - $36.75 USD
5% - 90,750 Won - $101 Cad - $73.50 USD
10% - 181,500 Won - $202.00 CAD - $147.00 USD
25% - 453,750 Won - $505.00 CAD - $367.50 USD
50% - 907,500 Won - $1010 CAD - $735.00 USD

I can reserve pieces, but all money must be paid upfront in order to get a piece. If I do not receive within 2 days of the first event (Wednesday March 23rd) I will put your piece back up for sale. After the TrueShak scandal of 2016, I must take all precautions to not get whamboozled.

If you know me, contact me through the usual channels. If you don't and PM me on 2p2 and I'll give you a way to contact me.

I guess this could serve as a month end update

[ ]Seriously start learning Korean. I've spent 3 months and gotten by with hand gestures and nodding lmao. I got to seriously plunge myself into it and take it as serious as I have poker
[ ] Find out what Korean tinder is, and use it.
[ ] Apparently theres some language app people use to work on speaking other languages. I think Korean's use it to practice their English. I've heard ppl find girlfriends and stuff on there. SKGG it.
[ ] Party when I'm in Seoul next weekend. Apparently they party pretty hard out here. Maybe find an EDM show and go from there? Find out some bars?

nailed a solid 0/4 on my "monthly goals". battin a perfect 0.000. I'm a pretty serious lamer.

So how about I do some self improvement goals for March. If I won't go out, I should do something more productive with my body. Here's some goals for March

- Lose 25 pounds. (Definitely do-able in a month. I'm kind of a big boy)
- Eat 0 fast food for the month
- Work on reducing my meal sizes. I think my average meal is probably too many calories.
- Buy running shoes
- Find a regiment that gets me doing something active before work.

Basically my work week life is wake up at 11am, roll out of bed by 11:30am or 12pm. Get ready for work, eat, then work 2:30pm-9:40pm. Come home, eat, then spin2win or MTTs.

Poker for February was neat I guess. I probably made money in MTTs. I lost track of time and when things happened. I dunno when my wins were. Anyways I play good in those. Spins are being productive too. I've made a permanent move to $15s. Not many spins into the current stake. Previous stake contract was a net profit. My cEV in 7s was like 75-80 lifetime. Kinda proud of it, but I really think I could keep 90+ no problem if I kept there. Anyways, goals for March:

- cEV of 40+ in my first month at $15
- FT a APT Daegu event
- Win an APT Daegu event

Simple and acheivable. I've reserved 45% of my APT package. I don't really care about the last 5%, so I won't be too pushy to give it out. difference between 50% to 55% equity is marginal. Plus having more of myself is only a good thing.

Once I get a reasonable sample I'll post some giraffes of my $15s. maybe when I'm 300-400 games in.

won a $27 NLO8 PSKO for 1175.xx

Brought me out of a tourny downswing. Also cashed the goldstar freeroll for 52-54 bucks. Woke up at 2:30am for the grind so I'd be able to play the freerolls too. Glad it was worth it. back to sleep for a bit I guess

Ha, those free rolls are never worth waking up for. What's is it? 100k gtd with 15k runners? Like $7.50 In EV? I'd much rather sleep.

Congrats on the win though.

TYTY. well I mean uptop is 14k. mincash is $15 and only 8k runners. plus it's well structured. Not the best but definitely worth it.

Okay, $12.50 in EV. But it's still basically like a free ticket to grind the Big $11 and ****ing waking up for that.

Finishing 180 out of 8274 (top 2.17%), is still impressive, even for a freeroll. Good job man!

Reminds me of a past conversation I had about which is a stronger performance- a huge field with a small buyin, or a small field with a large buyin. And then debating the GPI formula, lol.

Stars needs to come out with Omaha Spin and Go's. You'd definitely crush it.

No sleep for SK 2+2er kwangssi. He placed 6th out of 13359 entrants last week in the Bigger $11 for a $4007 score.

Been delaying the next update for a spin update. Wanted a reasonable sample. Here it is:







Well I'm super disappointed with how it's going. Cool, winning money. But apparently it's a super heater so I'm bound to lose at some point. Small sample, yada yada variance. My cEV hasn't moved in like 200-250 games. It's super frustrating. I'm not in the 15s for the money, so the results don't change my outlook on this. It ****ing sucks and I need to fix it. I think a lot of it derives from poorly timed bluffs. I've made some questionable xr's and triple barrels that don't work. Maybe that's results oriented, I have no HH's in mind. Going forward I want a 50-60+ cEV minimum. I'm not happy with anything less. Just going to keep working on my game and see how it goes.


Alright, let's talk about MTT's. This weeks been an uber cock tease. Lots of almosts but not enoughs.



Heres the list of almosts. Lots of super lame finishes. Daily FLO8 isn't too bad, I just wanted the glory and another feather in my cap. The $2r turbo was easily the most tilting one. Overwhelming chiplead jammed into me bvb when I had ~15bb which was 3rd at that point. Had 6s, sigh called, lost a flip vs j9o. Oh well. Not much I can do but complain and pout I guess. Moving on.

I've got APT Daegu in 2 and a half weeks. Pretty pumped about it. I sold 41% of my package and I'm in no rush to sell the remaining 9%. I'm fine with keeping it but if a friend shows interest I'm ok selling it off. I'm pretty comfortable with the casino/area so I'm not too worried about the situation. Looking forward to some super soft MTTs and lots of dead money.

With my life goals for March. Still maintaining the 0 fast food. I've been craving it lately since I have no food in my fridge and try to justify that as a reason to order. Stayed strong thus far though. Seemingly lost 6-7 pounds so far? but that could easily just be fluctuations in water weight or diet. I weigh myself in the morning before I do anything. I've made no real strives to work out. Haven't bought any running shoes yet either. Should get some urgency with that.

Work's been getting kind of lame lately. I've got to work more hours and I'll have to show up earlier it seems for the next little bit. Nothing I want to get specifically into, but I'd just like to remind people to pick public schools over hagwons. I'll be spending most of my week playing Spins. I need to work on my game and I've been dicking around to much in MTTs. Plus getting honeydicked with some almost binks made me bitter. I look forward to showing off a vastly improved cEV line.

For those that want to see a funny hand, here's me getting hero'd by 6 high. I lost my mind laughing.

Poker Stars $14.25+$0.75 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t15/t30 Blinds - 2 players

Yeah I screwed up my sleep schedule for a few days. Doubt it was worth it at face value, but the results oriented bias makes me think it was worth.

I'm a tilt monkey. My A game with cash is ok, i rarely play my A game. I tilt hard. Spin n go's are also more 'fun'. I get to gambol a lot. I'm a bit of a degen. Plus the little boost in your step when you bink a multiplier is better than any feeling cash gives you.

A little overdue for an update.

So I'll start with spins. I ended my contract a little early, and this was the result:




Nothing impressive, but a decent profit split. I ended up with 585 in winnings+98.75 in rakeback+ 57 in promotional stuff. So after the split I received around $377.78

I ended it early because I plan on trying to enter a serious spin stable. I loved my backer. Tim (onthestoop) is a great ****ing guy. Couldn't say anything nicer about him and would love to refer players to him. However, I need to spread my wings and move into an atmosphere that will provide me an opportunity to develop even better in spins. I'll announce who/what stable I'm trying to enter later in the week.

I had some minor MTT success this morning. Shipped the 7.501r1a nlo8 hyper. I got hu vs a button masher who jammed every single hand of the final table. Was pretty sweet.


I also hard bubbled the FT only pays $11. That was obviously super cheesy as the difference between my 14th and 9th was 180 bucks. Oh well.


APT Daegu is next week and I'm pretty amped. I did sell out my package, so happy about that as well. I'm confident I'll crush and ship a tournament. Something Something declare.

Yeah I could probably use some work on my thread saver game. The guy at the FT literally just jammed every friggin hand, any 4. was wonderful.

As for MTTs or spins. Honestly Where it stands now, I make more $$$ in mtts. I've probably profited after split maybe 600-700$ and made ~3k in mtts since January. However I feel like due to volume restrictions I can probably make more in spins long term. The goal is to peak to the 60s or 100s. Until after this contract is up, I'm sort of just stuck.

Well when they hit middleschool (13-14) all the kids have to wear uniform. I teach ages 8-16. I guess the uniforms are std like you'd see in movies or tv. Gotta no comment the first question since it's just not something I should answer lol. Last thing I want is to be rating my students on the internet.

Quick update:



2nd in an 888 $5r for a decent score. The entire FT was buttonmashers, so 2nd is ok. Got hu as a 700k:3.5mill dog so it's w/e. He wasnt horribad HU but i never flopped pairs vs his mashing cbets.

Pretty friggin sick atm. Caught some sinus infection I'm assuming. Trying to drink tons of water and sleep. Really havent been able to sleep. Had a fever, runny nose, pressure in my nose, headache, sore throat. It's getting better over the last 24 hours though. Hopefully I'm good monday.

I've been sick way more here compared to the US, which is why I wear one of those surgical masks while out and about. I'm just so tired of being sneezed and coughed on (since the locals don't cover their mouths).
