jaja, nice results , gogo

Could you try to play 50k hands sober? Maybe you'll go >20bb/100

Ofc I am joking with you, really dope results, but maybe you would be on your a-game if you weren't tipsy while playing.

Hahaha Andrej! Well I'm usually sober when I play! 2 pints at lunch doesn't count :-) But playing hungover is not ideal, I usually do it though, because I still win, but at least today I didn't start playing until 5 or so, which is progress. Less money, but higher winrate at least! Signing up for a gym just next door and starting a healthier life again this weekend, but the sickest thing is that I almost play worse after a hard run/hard workout than I do when I'm hungover, so best for poker is obviously just sit inside and play and not work out or drink! Can't get it all though :-)

Pic of Tinder chick or didn't happen.

When/if I end up hooking up with her... :-)

Just show her the winrate and she'll hook up with you for sheer coaching if nothing else.

That's plan B

Warning: Plenty of brag coming up!

Soooo, as usual after I post results I get snap-reaction and death curse. I managed to lose $600 (12 BI/-97BB/100) in an hour or so. I don't really think I tilt anymore, but I have to admit my EV BB winrate was tilting me a lot more than the actual money, so I was slightly comforted by the fact that my EV BB was "only" -$370. I wasn't gonna take a break when I was at -$500, but then I lost another big one and figured there was no point in continuing. I got some comfort food and started watching a tv serie...

Obviously I got bored with watching the tv serie exactly the same minute my food was done (5min in), so I fired up 3 tables again with the tv serie still running 'till it's end. 3 1/2 hours later I have won all the losses back, and over the last 2 sessions I'm actually +$250 EV BB. So sick that I had to win $600 EV BB over 3.7k hands to actually get back to 10bb/100 though...! Hard to win $250 per 5k hands! Anyways, let this be a lesson to everyone out there that is struggling to make it.
1. Even though I absolutely crush the game I can still drop 12 buyins in less than an hour, which just shows how important BRM is.
2. There is no point in tilting or chasing losses. Take a break and just start playing well again and you will get what you deserve.
3. Too damn easy bitches!! :-D



Betting brag:
I decided to lay 16 and back 10 players on Betfair in this weeks Golf tournament in Scottland, and I'm not joking when I say that all 16 of the players I layed have drifted, and all 10 of the players I backed have shortened up. Didn't think it was possible to be this damn good! I also wrote picks for 9 h2h tournament bets (7 on Pinnacle), and all 9 of them have shortened up considerably... Obviously everything is going straight to hell now on both poker and betting front since I'm bragging too much and jinxing everything, but it's just worth it for this moment here when I open another beer and grind an hour or two more before bedtime!

22.50% done and still JUST hanging on to my 10 EV BB.. CAN WE DO IT?!

Pretty sure I know your SN, pm me

Wow I thought the title was a joke....Well done mate thats amazing

PM sent!

Thanks Poisonlolz! hopefully I haven't just had Epic run good and it's all gonna change drastically soon!

Love your attitude, both confident and modest. Hope you do it mate I love seeing the "impossible" done, especially with all the negativity lurking. Sub'd.

This is pretty inspiring stuff... keep crushing.

sn?

U sack! JK u rack.

Really impressive, seen you at the tables. Think i know who you are Either way, were doing quite alike resultswise. Should prolly hook up via Tinder sometime to talk strat.

Laters bud

lmfao wot???

Hahaaha! Made me laugh too, not sure if intended, but really nice if so

Thanks for all the encouraging and nice comments, they are really appreciated!

Nice BananaPanda, I'd love to see your graph/winrate if you say you have similar results :-) I am starting to think somewhere between 7-8 EV BB is very realistic though, which is nice. Pretty much need 4 on 100 for it to be worth it, I think that's doable as well though..

Great thread! Keep up the hard work!

I have a thread similar to yours, dont know if im allowed to link it hehe either way, see you around. And yes, Tinder was intended haha

So.. No update for ages! I can't say I'm not surprised, most of my plans usually ends in binge drinking or degening, so what else is new, I guess!

The 100k hands I was gonna do in July failed absolutely miserable, and I pretty much didn't play a hand after my last update, just getting drunk and Fat(ter) for the rest of the month! Working this much and living just next to the office aaaand all the night clubs made things hard, especially when you're too lazy to go get groceries so every meal is consumed in pubs! I ended the month with 33k hands and 5 EVBB/100 for an epic fail, but I ran poorly (2bb/100), and also couldn't maintain >6-7-8 so I think that was parts of me losing my motivation.

This month pretty much started the way the last one ended, and it wasn't really until 1 week ago I decided that it's time to stop getting out of shape, stop getting drunk _EVERY_ night, stop living on chocolate when not in pubs, and start grinding again... Since then I've gone to the gym about 6 days in a week, and from dying running a 5k in 25min (177 heart rate at the end) I just ran a 10k in 50 at the same pace without my HR going over 165, so I'm really pleased with my progress being a little bit more sober! I've also just pretty much cut my sleeping to 4-5 hours while working, and 6-7 while off, so I'm getting a lot more grind in (just run to gym after work, order food at my pub while showering, eat, have 1 beer and go home and grind for 6 hours)!

The result has been amazing.. Despite doing 10 hour days at work, grinding 6-8, hitting the gym, eating better and sleeping very little I feel amazing, and the results at the poker tables have been amazing.

So far this month (last week really) these are the results:


I can't really only post the good results, so these are the combined results since 1st of July:


Hopefully I can do the >10BB/100 in 100k hands in August... I have a feeling it wont happen with a friend of mine having come over for 11 days today though! But I will definitely getting in more hours when I can, and another 55 hours in 17 days or so shouldn't be that hard!

Wish me GL, >10 EVBB/100 in August one tajjjm!!

Sick.

Quick update before I crash and burn!!!



Mate is over so I'm pretty much drunk and out of the gym every day again now, but I'm getting a few hours in after waking up before we start drinking again at least!

I see now that I "only" have to win another $2,1k($2,4k EV-Rungood!!) for the month to get to $5k. That shouldn't be a problem, but the main problem is managing to do it in 51.5k hands... As for now I'm still flying! Only thing that sucks is that my time in the company apartment is coming to its end, so I need to start looking for a new apartment as I think I'm supposed to be out of here next week! Soo much effort
