Thanks for all the replies, I thought it'd go without saying that I was stretching before and after the runs. Since last post I've been stretching mid-run too; there are probs 2 traffic lights per mile I stop at so when I stop and pause the app I stretch out the hammies for a few secs. I've run 32 miles in the first 4 days. Planning to take a day off from grinding tomoz and smash out 10 miles (I'm capped at 10 per day), will defo do the 10 miles but might grind after it. We'll see.

Poker wise it's gone something like this so far...

Day 1 - -1k
Day 2 - +1k
Day 3 - -5k
Day 4 - +4.6k
Day 5 - +1.5k

Deployed the "make good hands" strat last 2 sessions and got paid in a few spots. So we're up a few bucks so far for the trip, gonna hopefully turn the screw this week and put a few bags in the profit margin!

No HHs coz it's 11pm here and I've got coaching at 8am so off to bed early doors tonight

Edit - not gonna lie I have no idea who has/hasn't paid this yet. I'll check my emails and start shaming ppl soon

Haha Everest is correct. Nah I feel better now, let's get this ****in thread back on track.

So Smit, Ben & Jason yet to pay. It's the absolute classic really. Also Mzbourg but tbh he's a scumbag so I expect him to scam me.

Pocket 3s and pocket 9s are available again, if anyone wants to play then please reserve either of them asap. If not then they'll be void and I'll update to say how many of each PP has hit. Nomalice very kindly pointed out that the rail for the PP bet isn't that great this time round because I haven't been updating much. So let's get the last 2 reserved and then I can update on who's winning what!

***

Grind last night was great, went in and instantly won a flip. 4bet jammed JJ for 1k vs an American rec, he called and I showed instantly and asked if he had a pair. He shook his head and there was an ace in the window, followed by a jack and a four bzzzzt. He showed AK as he mucked. I then 3bet QQdc vs an American reg in his 40s. He calls and the flop is 235hhh. x/x. 6x turn and I x and he bets 200, I call. Ax river and I x and he bets 500, should be a snap fold but I levelled myself hard and called. What's he got? Pocket 4s? Pocket 6s? AhQx? Nah mate 63s. Nh bud.

I then played a fun one. Guy opens UTG, SB awful spewy reg calls, I call BB w A9hh. Flop is 965ccx, xs round. Ah turn xs to utg who bets 75 into 100, I make it 260, he calls. River Tx and I bet 775 into 620. Genuinely debated jamming 1400. Anyway he calls after a minute and we win. I actually don't mind a jam if it's for like 1100ish, but this is just too much.

I then witnessed one of thee most ridiculous hands I've ever been a part of. Game was super reggy all night but then a rec sits down. So UTG opens, reg calls, rec calls, awful spewy rec calls btn and I squeeze AQdd to 260. We go 4 ways to a flop of 963ssx. Xs to rec who bets 700 into 1100ish, the spewy reg then makes it 1900, rec calls. Turn Ax, rec checks, and reg piles it in. Rec is like **** this **** I call. Rec has got 78o, and the reg has got 54o, river is a fkn 7 and the reg scoops and the rec goes off his nut about how he knew he was good with 8 high etc. Absolute madness. The same reg 3bet earlier and bet flop on 234r, then bet/called a jam on 3x turn w ATo vs A3 and pinged a 5 for a chop lmao.

One more hand I played, there's a guy here from Leeds, super super nice guy but speaks with a very thick Yorkshire accent. When I'm speaking to players that are clearly not native English I talk a bit slower, but this guy's accent is so thick it's hilarious to see these Chinese dudes try and decipher what he's saying. "I had t' raise tuuuuurn I didn't want you to catch owt!" so anyway I open AJo UTG and btn rec from above hand flats (he's now VPIPing 90%+ srs), Yorkshire squeezes from SB. Never ever ever flatting this normally but peeled a flop given this rec is on life tilt and we have him dominated so often. 3 ways to a fkn AJ8ddx flop. Leeds bets out 220ish, and I don't **** about and make it 750. Folds back to Leeds who drills it in and I call. I instantly told myself "Okay gaz you have called, wait until he turns his hand over before you turn yours over, you're entitled to see what he has!" three seconds later however I couldn't take the excitement and tabled my hand. Turn brick river diamond and he taps the table. Was like a 4k pot so relieved he didn't have KQdd type hand.

Ran really really well yesterday, back at it today after I go for another run. Not gonna lie, after running 63 miles in 9 days (doing 3 more miles today to keep ahead of the pace), the fun factor of this bet has worn off and I'm sick to my back teeth of running

Got wrecked yesterday, lost about $4k. Was down about $1500 and then genuinely for the next few hours it was just a slow slow bleed. Was just topping up every orbit by $100 or $200 all night. Sigh!

Won about 4k last two days. A lot of people message me asking how the games are and if they should come out to play, and I reply saying they are not good, and then they ask if I'm just saying that, but hand on heart the games are horrrrrrendous at the moment. A lot of Europeans here all at the same time which sucks. Some HHs...

Few limps, Rich in seat 9 makes it 55 from the SB, I make it 210 w AA from the BB, he flats. Flop is Q45r and I cbet like 140 into 440, he tank pops it to 550ish, I'm like ffs if he has QQ here I am going to cry, I drill it in and he snaps and asks if I have a set, pretty much know what he's gonna show me then coz he doesn't ask that if he has KK he tables aces, and I table aces, we have a wee laugh, and instantly, and I mean INSTANTLY, some American "reg" puts his hand into the dealer's way and says "ALRGHT CMON LETS GO CHOP THIS UP". Like he's actually blocking her dealing the board out. Obv it's a chop but she still has to deal it out. I'm like dude wtf are you doing and he honestly looks at me and goes "What you wanna take a picture or something?" I'm like wtf and he goes "aces vs aces, you want a picture?" at this point I tell him to butt the **** out and let the dealer do the dealing and to stop harrassing them, have seen them do it a few times and to stop it, he honestly looks down at his stack and goes "ok u got it boss" and stops talking. The other day he was complaining about all the Brits in the games while staring right at me. Also I drilled it in the other day pre and got called and he's not even in the hand and he turns to my opponent and goes "DON'T show your hand first, make him show first!" guy honestly is just a weird dude.

Took a reeeaaaaal funky line with AA last night, seriously overplayed. I open them in MP and an Asian reg in his 40s or so calls, dude is aggro, likes to play pots and is fun to have at the tables, and 2 others call. Flop is K84hhx. I x and he bets 80, I make it 280 and he calls. Turn is Qx and I bet 450 into like 650, he calls. River 7x and I drill it in and he tank folds and shows the Ah. Honestly so overplayed but we won the pot so it's all good. Next hand I look down at AA again and UTG limps, I make it 50, Asian reg from above hand is still ranting about the hand ( ) and calls, the UTG limper makes it 150 with like 500 behind. I creep-flat to keep Asian guy in. Flop is KQ8r and I'm like ffs dead vs UTG now. He bets 150 and I call, Asia folds and we get it in on brick turn and he randomly shows QJdd and we scoop.

I've been trying to log my sessions in an app but have clearly missed a few. I think I'm up 8k since arriving (genuinely just been running super duper good so far).

Running bet going okay, 79 miles in the first 11 days. I think I'm gonna try negotiate a buyout next weekend though, it's eating into my poker time a lot. I'm way ahead of pace, my body feels good, and I'm gonna win, so I'm sure the boys will be open to it. We'll see

That's Kevin, he was on Live at the Bike a few months ago and was super cringey and awkward.

Next time we get it in against each other, let's have different hands? Ok. I can also confirm the 5/T games are abysmal.

But not after he came back after losing the A10 hand to Andy and wanted to change his character to the R-Rated version of Kevin and "control the narrative"...

He's amazingly non self aware, and I love him from an entertainment standpoint.
He's just so great, a slightly more awkward Napoleon Dynamite+Uncle Rico combo.

My favorite thing of all time might be Patrick (graphics guy/producer(?)) saying in the chat that he got big-timed by Kevin off the show.

Lol, did he play a hand in that whole vid, is he a known nit or just super card dead? I skipped through it every minute or so and didn't see his name once post flop, he appears to have a punchable face & irritating voice to boot.

What a dream to have Eric at the table though some of his shtick is annoying... when people verbally declare 'I Snap Call' it tilts me for reason.
