Decided to play 100nl again, played mostly 3-4 tables with more focus and making that move up stick. Feel really good about my game and going to keep at it.

      When villian raises on the river, I'm assuming for value. When he re-raises, What hands does he think he'll get more value from?

        There's something to be said about enjoying the game even when things don't go your way on a given day. Say's a lot about your outlook and overall understanding of the swings that should be expected. It's a good place to be.

          Subbed! Great job, good luck, you actually motivated me today to get back on my poker journey in a more disciplined mode. I played up to 100 nl but had lots of personal problems, but now all is well again and am starting from scratch. Best of luck, may the odds be ever in your favour!

                    Yeah when the dead money went in the middle it was a fairly easy stack off just not fist pumping vs the nit lol

                    Had a beastly weekend with the gf, probably slept 3h the whole time. Got some rest but not fully recovered so I played one session and did a lot of study. Had one of my best days this year and feeling good about my tech and mental game. Going to be back to normal volume from tomorrow.

                        Thanks man, hope to make the 100nl giraf similar.

                        Played B game today, felt a bit off after tossing and turning half the night. Only put in two sessions, and two hours study.

                        Fully comfortable and adjusted to 100nl now. Look forward to cracking the next stake in the next month or two.



                        no real interesting hands, going to run a few sims on some bluffs and call it a night, glgl

                        I live in Europe, prefer to stay under the radar for now

                        Played well today, got in all hours and did some study. Going to run a few things thru solver tonight as usual.



                        Picked up some monies in quite a few spots like this today

                          Also bought an omega 3 mega pack today, some vit D3 and starting a proper leangains IF cutting cycle and quite excited. Doing about 2000 cals on rest days and 2500 on training. Going to cut till about 10% bf and assess from there.

                          Which looks like this:

                          Done for today, played well but games kept breaking so less hands but hours were just about completed. Also had to tweak macros from last post quite a bit lower now.

                          3 hours grind, 2 hours study and warmup

                            Yeah I feel you, but I just made some meal plans and sticking to them. Im following Martins exact recommendations from Leangains and the protein is high but keeps you satiated. A friend of mine recommended Quark and i found a high protein one where I live which works out to be 1euro per 80g protein. Otherwise I cover the rest with ground beef or lean pork cuts. What are you mainly consuming?

                            Well I can tell you something about bodybuilding too as I have been on stage twice I cover my 190gr of protein with two Cottage cheese, whey and meat twice a day.

                            Might get back on the PGC thread in october, only got 3 weeks of grind left before I have to start studying for my exams and will take a 6 week break from poker.
