Never played on many sites at same time, this is fun!
You really sometimes get bored to looking at same skin, and now i can clear missions on many sites.

Thanks heaps for 2+2 peeps, this really helps my game to have this thread, and life too.

Live first 3th place, it was really sick that last time i dropped 3th, and the one who won, won with 1 chip. How does this happen in 7player tournament.

But now i atleast won another one, played really tight and good. And had to play tight, but worked out, won my TT against 88 biggest lead, other guy made it personal, raising me all the time. So i just waited for good hand, and knew he was going all in against me.

Have nice night, also walked 15km, now sauna, and rest.
And on poker lets play our best!

Thanks heaps for support, high stakes players, like i used to be, but im not anymore.
Sometimes win bigs, but playing low stakes, you win low, and rarely.
The support is much needed.

I find that poker that more then anything teaches humility, you got to be happy with small wins.
Its always nicer to win small, then lose after winning, due tiredness, or careless play.

Got to be sharp when to play, and when you play, got to really play your best.
Lots of people are playing their best, so you cant go in there too cocky.
Since you loose lot of times even when you should win, it teaches humility.

Had some really interresting hands, on tournament play its so important to know hand strenghts. On sb, vs bb. Its sometimes hard to sense that 97high is really strong, we had hand. I raised sb with 97o, bb show 72o, and folded. On right time, weak hands can be really strong, and its really hard to find out when. Thus poker is ongoing challenge, that we we should enjoy.

Now the result is not yet big, but im not aiming for big results. Im aiming to perfect my poque, love the word poker came from. Really a game of poking.

Always tought, that some reddish neckish has been saying the word poque, just "I was playing POUKKER" haha.

My tournament play has finally gotten good, it takes nearly life to master tournament poker. Insanely hard game, but i love it, even more then cash.
So complicated situations over, and over again.

Widened up my game selection, now that i play on many sites.
Having good plays on diffrend kinds of games, and im far from bored.
Also on rare games, leaderboards are easier to cash in.
Mostly omaha cash, and mtt holdem, both going ok.

I think that my 15 day downswing was just a lesson, never played this good.
And i made it, only losing small all the time.
The bad days was due 10$-10e games, i dont have a roll from them yet.
Now grinding max 5e mtt, but prizes are still nice.
Gonna stay here till my roll tells me to move up, not when i feel like gambling haha.

My real focus should be getting all other stuff on life done,
i know how to play poker, but it dosent work if i dont take care of other stuff.
Got real nice session, played 2hours, gonna clean up the place, coach my friend on yoga, wash my yoga matts now etc.

(Mtts are my biggest challenge, made it to 2nd)
Had weird turn decicion, i bet flop, turned weak two pair.
And other had slowplayed set, there i could actually maybe get away from this hand, but not this time.
Maybe next time, hardest part of the game, are the tough folds imo.

Ive read it in this tao book, that once you have won, you should let it sit.
Not straight away try to win more, but take a walk, do other stuff.

I have found the book to be my bible of poker, and i will follow the great dao, haha.

Have nice day peeps!

Nice to get message from you parson!

Im bit fatigued still over earlier session, poker can be tough as weightlifting, or speedrunning. It really takes a lot of energy to focus on poker a lot.
My friends hands started to shake on live games yesterday, i noted, you havent eaten before you came right. He said, i have eaten 1 egg today.

Fasting can be good sometimes, but poker is activity that takes too much energy, for to be fasting same time, for long period.
And sometimes its really hard to eat, since people who play semi pro, or pro, usually do athletics too. Yoga is a lifesaver in this part, savasana practice makes you rest enough.
Yoga tho is not easy practice to follow, but benefits are very nice.

Still been taking break since last session, it was good, so its always good to keep longer breaks after good sessions. As finnish poker pro, who i admire on his skills on the game.
(Q high calls on river, against 6high) Patrik Antonius has said, it was good to start playing for him, only when he feels like it.

This has been very good advise for me, i sometimes tend to start play too much marathons, and end up with bad result. Now ill just wait till i have eaten good, i feel that i have energy, then go.

Love that im getting to do my work again, it reflects that poker goes much better too, since i get back my income, i felt i had to play so much, because i lost a lot of work.

Poker did help, but it also fatigued me a lot, close to burnout.
Now ill continue careful, avoid marathon sessions.

Ya it works out real nice to use many sites, also on mtts you need sometimes very diffrend kind of tournaments too, so you have selection.

Think im gonna play mtt+omaha cash+sng session later, but now ill just eat and rest.

Poker is real good extra in life, its very poor everything.
Played 2 cash sessions on omaha, grinding bonuses, both sessions even, even is always ok.

Gonna wash my yogamats, sauna, only 2 mats left, i got about 10 of them haha, and i hand wash them, it always takes like hour. And eating good after that,
thanks god i have parson here chatting with me, i would look like lunatic if nobody would.

Lets play our best, and have a nice night!

On SB. I raise approx 2-3bb 97s.
Call from BB. Flop T73ss.
I check, shove, call. Villain shows J9o. And actually won, but tought that was a nice hand eventho if id loose. Basic tho, but love when good calls work out, since they are hard to make. Samething ofcourse with raises, and folds.

Sngs did not go well, slowplayed AA from sb, against my KK in BB late stage.
And other sng i played, i just played bad, went bust A2s against TT i think.

Mtts, other has 5 left so good, other im not in money but im 1/16.

About have found all leaks in my game, biggest one is making too fast decicions, resulting in too small sized bets (ya it dosent work if you sense weakness and you minraise usually, tho some spots minraise can be efficent.)

Now its matter of grinding, and staying on low stakes till i have sufficent bankroll to move up.

And ofcourse starting the stream thing.

Have nice weekend peeps, no wait its just parson here. So have nice weekend Parson!

Minraises when i started used to be clear sign of a fish, it has changed.
On mtts it is, actually sometimes a good raise, the pf. 2bb minraise when blinds are big.

Have noticed that i really need to be tight online, im not playing anymore nl1-5k,
where i could actually bluff people. Nowdays im playing with people who shove A3o vs utg raise. Got to act accordingly, and tighten up. But play strong when i actually play.

Ok Parson, please share anything on your games here if you like, we can discuss.

I got next 15hours totally free, so ill be playing a lot. Then gonna take break sa-su.

As a mood lightener, on poker when you try to win, you start losing.

This was very much so on my last session, i had real good decicions first tourneys i played, but result was breaking even, should stopped there, but i took couple more, and now im fatigued, and played end bad.

Next time ill be smarter, gonna shorten up sessions so i dont fatigue.

Hey ill check you thread soon! Nice to know.

Ya me too, online poker used to be sweet, but right now i dont even feel like playing.
A lot has improved, but poker itself has been damaged by bots, bigger rake etc.
Also online has never been pokers truest form, live, reads are real.

Ive been thinking about stars, but i played there when i was supernova elite, and when chests came in, i left. I think rakeback was about 40-50%, and rake was 50% of what it is nowdays. I heard they are fighting bots, thats good, but i have not found a poker site i would be happy with nowdays. Been doing other stuff, and dont know if ill play small session today, right now dont feel like it. So ill just do some other stuff, dont feel like even thinking poker. But when i do, ill get get to know your thread.

Nice to hear from you Parson!

As for my game, it is pretty much like competition athletism that i am practicing on speedrunning, if i start poker session, i have to be well rested, well eaten, had some sports to deal stress, do some yoga to keep my spine etc. healthy.

Right now im gonna play cs probably with my friends, do yoga, and eat.
