Ok, so its been a while and i feel i need to update this:
Life/Stress:
The daily struggle of living in Venezuela keeps me as busy as it gets. My responsibility grows as relationship seems to get more and more serious. Having to feed one mouth more is quite a task, especially as i am grinding MTTs and cant really show any notable results lately. It would be way easier to live in a place, where the girl would actually be able work a couple hours per week in order to contribute a bit or even enter the paths of higher education. But as this is Venezuela its actually quite tough to find a job that pays more than 20$/month.
All of this recently makes us think it might be better to leave the country together. Easier said than done: Girl doesnt own a passport (as many people here dont) and getting one is more complicated than one would guess. Corruption is a big thing in these offices and i am not willing, neither able to pay much for that at this point.
Supply of Electricity is still not great. 95% of the Island still suffer frequent power shortages. I am not affected anymore as i managed to find an apartment that is connected with the power system of a private clinic. Monthly rent is the same as before and building is way nicer than the one before. Internet is worse somehow but i have a better signal of mobile internet, so the backup works better than at the place before.
Political Situation overall seems to be frozen somehow. No protests, no progress in any direction, just the normal lethargic mindset that people have for years here hoping that something changes. Its def not a healthy situation to be in and it starts to hurt me mentally more and more, seeing this lack of perspective. Especially when thinking about my girl. Doesnt help to whine about it. Gonna fly to Germany in about 2 Weeks and if theres no miracle happening, regarding girls passport situation i will probably have to fly back here in october. At this point this is nothing i am really looking forward to, but its not unlikely i change my mind after 6 weeks in europe.
Pokerz:
I already indicated that i did not do well lately. So the list of 4fig scores since my last posts is very unimpressive taking into account that this is over a stretch of 1600 games of ~30-40 ABI. Meh if i shipped that Sun Marathon where i got 7th or one of the 109 builders i would probably be up but who cares about whining:
I dont even wanna look at that Graph.
This month i am also down quite a bit. At least doing fine ev-wise:
Also participated in some 150usd live-tourney in a casino here. Structure was okay. Field was lolsoft and i even got instagram coverage from some venezuelan instagram poker thing. I made final 2 tables and cashed 650 + 300 i got for being chipleader of one of the day 1s. My facial impression on that picture pretty much reflects my overall mood and also proves that i am actually working a lot and dont hang around all day at beaches XD :
