Hahah I laughed at this. I think I agree with you that my ex gf Alisha is the hottest girl of them all. It's kind of weird though, she would sometimes do her makeup in a way that would look bad. Or like the black hair, it was definitely significantly worse than blonde or her natural hair color IMO. To me, when she looks good (in my eyes) there's no girl that looks better to me

Hard to say though. There's def been random girls that I've met in the clubs or wherever over the years that are more attractive than girls I've posted in my PGCs over the years, but any of the girls I post about are girls I know quite well and hangout with or go out with.

Daniela/Sophia when I first met her and we were both 23/24 might still be the hottest all natural girl though, she was really sexy imo and still is, just a bit thicker now





Lol I was so faded in this picture, fun memory though of a going away party for Octavian_C where there were like 15-20 poker players + a few GFs and Daniela. Really fun night, Dani and I still laugh about this night anytime we see each other

Typical summer week I might dedicate 20-30 hours to poker and during a COOP it's more like 80-100




___________________________________________

So, been a hectic summer per the usual. Not happy with the effort I've put in at the poker tables but hopefully am about to turn it around!

I have however been doing a fair amount of study and am working on learning the 25bb SKOs a bit. I always try to go where I think the best EV is, and learning those and playing those at night over the timbey stake 16mans and 6mans makes it such that the 300k game challenge wont be completed, but I think it's higher EV right now to focus more energy on those games for the night grind.

We'll see how all of that ends up at the end of the year of course, but I always am aiming to make the highest $EV that I possibly can.


July graph


















Might have some really exciting Turbokings news to release in the next few days. Bfizz and I trying to make something cool happen, will of course post with more info if it does happen!

With that being said, I'm going to just update the challenge numbers as I'm curious how far behind pace I am. Susy has been here cleaning and I have been dealing with some BS while trying to make this update. Going to study and then Vivi is showing up to hangout for the evening around 7pm or so. Hoping to hit the grind tomorrow and then Bfizz will be over here doing PokerstarsSchool on their twitch channel

Haha I miss the SNE days for sure, I just wish I would have played sats from the getgo and not spent so many years on 25bb as it clearly wasn't the best EV for myself. Worse was the decision to play HS's backed in 2013 and not just grinding $30s-$100s with some shots at $200s+ on my own dime.

Ruse and I once in a while reminisce in the Merge grind days lulz; it was just such an easy grind! Hope all is well over there bro, I check in over in your thread but haven't posted anything


________________________________________

So once again, I haven't played any poker on Mon-Wed to start the week once again lulz. Whoops...on the bright side, I'm about to be going into crazy work mode for a few weeks and Ruseman and I are going to quit going out and being crazy bros so that should help out too . Basically will be working on all the exciting stuff going on and then hanging out with Vivi and otherwise not doing much.


So, in the biggest news, Bfizz11, his GF Fernanda and their 2 pitbulls will be fully moved into my condo by Friday . They will be staying with me for 1-3 weeks before heading back to Texas for a while. Lenballs is taking a little sabbatical from poker and is on his way back to the US tomorrow, so instead of Bfizz paying by day to keep the house that they all lived in, we decided this would be a great opportunity for them to move in and for us to just buckle down and get a whole slew of **** done for TK!

Bfizz, spades and myself will be working on a TON of behind the scenes Turbokings content, along with Bfizz streaming a fair amount. Additionally, I will be streaming with hole cards exposed for the first time ever at some point in the next couple of weeks! There's a lot in development stage right now, hopefully most of it will work out nicely in the end



But yea, so that's super exciting and I'm quite looking forward to it. Will be a bit cramped with all of us in my condo, but luckily we're all already quite close/feel like family and I'm sure it'll be just great! Bfizz will be streaming on the Turbokings channel tomorrow for a while which will be leading into the PokerstarsSchool Twitch session for tomorrow evening at 6pm PST IIRC. I'm sure I'll make a few appearances throughout the day but I am going to be trying to go super hard tomorrow since I haven't yet played any poker this week





Some pics last night of Vivi and I apparently modeling our pizza box (or so it appears ) when coming home a bit tipsy after dinner and a trip to my buddy's bar+restaurant+pizzeria...lol_drunk_people







And from a few days before, trying to post some more pics as I haven't really posted anything recently! Will try to get some pics while Bfizz+Fer are here with me












Anyway, gla on the grind and I'm sure I'll have another post coming tomorrow!

Hahah . Speaking of trucks, Bfizz and I were checking out this super sick 6.2L Ford Raptor Roush Edition that's parked here in Tower 2. Sick truck that performs really well, 600 HP under the hood. It would likely give my truck a run for it's money in 0-60mph/0-100km/hr time though I think my truck would still win slightly. Read they have ~5.3 second 0-60 time and my truck should be running nearly 5seconds flat now, was 5.3ish before we took the engine out to do this latest round of upgrades under the hood.




















Put in a big grind both today and on Thursday. Going to play a big one tomorrow as well, hopefully will be on the grind at 4am my time for the peanut stakes and playing through the cooldown+supersonic per the norm. And I really musttttt grind/study/work harder next week, gotta get myself out of vacation mode! Graph of those 2 sessions below, MTD is looking pretty sad once again!














Bfizz has his work station set up over here now and has been working here ~ every day since Tuesday. Their house should be finished being packed up and they should be completely moved in over here by Monday night or Tuesday at the latest. I will have to take and then post a few pictures tomorrow after I'm done with the SNG grind


Gla on the Sunday grind, hoping to put up 1500+ games myself!

With bfizz going back to texas for a bit is he no longer going for that prop bet win he had set? (genuinely cannot remember it, was it like 100k profit at low stakes? or something? ) Haven't tuned into the twitch in ages cause I have been busy but looking at sharkscope seems he didn't play during june?

Nice updates, as always a great read m8!

Hey man, hope all is well

That prop bet ended up not running and Bfizz has been focusing a lot more on coaching and on TK. He's playing a lot of volume on other sites + apps too. This summer he went up to LV for the WSOP and just got back a few days after busting the ME

Now we'll be focusing on the grind + TK and coaching and whatnot really hard once he's fully moved in for the few weeks they'll be here. His plan is to go back to TX for a few months and then head back here to Mexico by December I believe, but might end up just staying for the holidays and New Year and whatnot and then make it back!



_______________________________________________


I put up a pretty solid grind yesterday. The traffic was superrr dead in the morning, I woke up at 4am for no reason at all lolz. I actually ended up winding down and started studying for a bit, jumping back in like 45 mins before the Bounty 215.

I made a run in the Bounty 530 but ultimately ended up losing a flip vs tonkaaaa for a big bounty and what would have been a good sized overall CL with 20 left...oh well

Anyway after the grind Vivi was on her way over and we were supposed to go to dinner with Bfizz and his GF. Unfortunately they ended up not being able to join us, but we'll for sure all have a nice dinner out together sometime soon!

Vivi and I ended up eating at my favorite local steak house, Encino. She was actually the one demanding (!! ) to go there as she wanted a good filet mignon and I was 100% with her on that idea. Had a delicious aguachile to start off with, some grilled garlic spiced mushrooms and then our filets with more of those mushrooms, was good stuff as always

I only have the pics I took of her on my phone, she's usually the one snapping pics of the 2 of us
















Today I am just going to be studying. Vivi left like an hour ago and Bfizz and Fernanda just showed up a few mins ago with another carload of stuff. By tomorrow they should be fully moved in here, exciting stuff!

Hoping to put in a good sized grind tomorrow-Thursday, ~3/4/ths of a day off on Friday and then 2 big grinds on Saturday and Sunday!

Here's my graph from yesterday, gla on the tables!

07-24-2018 , 11:35 PM
Put up a decent grind today but much more important is that Bfizz, Fer and the pups are officially moved in! Long day for them, but we're all here and finally settled, great stuff!




Here's a tour of the house that Fernanda sprung on Bfizz tonight! Nice video, I would take the couple minutes to watch it tbh. Shows my place + talks of some plans, get a great ocean view in the vid as well!







If not, I snapped a couple pics just now of the setups and have a few pics of the pups from today

My setup




Bfizz setup



Ze puppiesss




Video of them wrestling around earlier tonight while we were eating dinner!
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1pX...rrVfNs9xVd6aCT











Yea, so apart from all that, I put in a solid half grind today and am about to hit the study grind hard for a couple of hours and then relax. Tomorrow I plan to play another half day session (Bounty 44 through Hot 109 once again) and then after we're all done grinding, we'll be going to Ollies pizza to celebrate Bfizz, Fer and the pups first full day in the house! Think Vivi will be arriving around 7pm and then we'll be heading out after that!

Gla on the grind, not going to bother to post a graph of today, will have to post a 3 day graph after the Tues-Thurs grind is over!

__________________________________________________

Fairly uneventful July on the online felts. Didn't put up enough of a grind but got back into a good routine the last week+ of the month so that's something at least.

On Monday, Bfizz and I started a prop bet that is designed to get us both going down the healthy path once again. We actually started seriously discussing it on our double date with our ladies over at Ollies last Wednesday night and we officially finalized details and booked the bet on Sunday. On my end...
-No caffeine (I only drink soda anyway, but can't just go replace soda with coffee or some ****) except on Sunday
-No alcohol except when I'm with Vivi
-No other drugs/substances
-1 hour of some form of exercise per day. So far I've mostly been just doing the stairs + stretching, doing some other light exercise as well and will expand over time
-No eating past 9pm
-5 sessions per week
-Some amount of HRC per day


I've been doing fairly well overall. Today though I have been without any energy. Dem caffeine withdrawals + the heat on getting to me hehe. Am hoping to feel a bit better tomorrow as the Thursday grind is usually one of my big days, although Vivi and I might be hanging out tomorrow as well which would cut out the night time MTTs.


Will include a couple quick beach videos I sent on whatsapp to Vivi today as we were chatting while I was outside doing the stairs and she had just finished up her (3 hour!) workout. Don't think I've really posted many videos from around the grounds of where I live, it really is quite nice

We've been practicing English a lot so that's why I'm both speaking slowly and trying to use simple words here in these vids .

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1VI...Lx77LkFPO_WnBS
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1HE...EdSKjrJ_k5Zssb

Couple screencaps



And after her workout today









Back to her English skills for a moment. Her comprehension of English was already like 40-50% (very good compared to almost any girl I've met down here that has never lived in the US), her biggest weakness is having the confidence to try to speak it and writing it is definitely super hard for her/she doesn't really do it.

She has a super cute accent and she's getting better about trying to speak English around me. I'll randomly just switch to speaking to her in English and she'll sometimes speak back in English or at least try and then say words/phrases she doesn't know in Spanish. I also will randomly switch to writing to her in English via text but she still hasn't gotten to the point where she'll write back in English, we'll get there though .

It's been fun working with her on English. I'm actually super patient with her and we're usually both giggling and having a good time laughing at both of our ****ups in the others natural language. Quite funny as when it has come to trying to teach anyone anything poker related I get quite tilted really quickly . It's honestly probably 1 small reason why I've never formally offered any coaching as I just don't think I could get through it w/out raging on people haha . She and I both see eye to eye on almost everything and we've already gone through a lot of stuff (@ problems/****show w her family) together that I'm not going to talk about publicly that has made our relationship quite strong really quickly, I guess that probably has a lot to due w my patience level while 'coaching' her in English





Anyway, I'm about to get back on the HRC grind. I'm working on some more explo 6m sat stuff and then also need to get back to running some 25bb 6m hyper spots as I've not run any spots in a few weeks. Additionally been checking some 16m CEV and ICM spots to make sure my ranges are still on point...am also working on improving my explo play at the 1st table vs recreational players.

Having Bfizz live with me has actually been helpful to me in terms of getting back to some explo tendencies vs recs that I had started straying away from after doing so much work with BBZ and another buddy of mine. So many spots where I have definitely been choosing unoptimal sizings (esp with value range) and I'm working on getting back into playing a good explo game vs those weak players.


Here's the graph of July, first losing month in quite a while! Though that's mostly due to dropping like 10k at 1k 25bb in the like 25 of them that I got in all month hehe







Would love to smash out 25k games in August but we'll see, focusing a lot on my health and fitness and getting myself (finally) going back down the correct path. Gla on the tables
08-02-2018 , 12:25 AM
Wow, last I talked to Bfizz he had left to go pick up Fernanda from dance class and asked me if I wanted tacos....apparently either the pretty girls or grubbing on some bomb tacos give him a (holidayspirit) idea

I refreshed my FB timeline and this was the first thing on it lulz

This could go down well with the more sadistic viewers of the twitch community. Why not throw in buckets of water and cattle prods? Waterboarding perhaps? Twitch has a problem with nudity obv but violating Geneva Convention should be fine.

Lmao sounds fun. No nudity but Bfizz has been in his boxers ~80% of the days on stream since arriving here lulz...confirmed too hot for pants




My day just got a lottt better, the new nanny finally arrived last night super late (and 2 days late, coming up from down south) at Vivi's so finally seeing each other for the 1st time in a week. I was supposed to spend the afternoon with her and her son on Sunday after a huge ****show at home but I ended up having a deep run in the milball and wasn't able to make it.

Am quite looking forward to being able to drink alcohol and well, gotta love that she's demanding going to the best pizza place I've been to outside of Chicago. I know Mr Abarone68 would say she's a keeper just for that (for those who haven't followed my or his past blogs, he is a big lover of Ollies as well )









Going to grind through the hot 109 and then get in my stair workout and play whatever I have left on my phone, followed by some study until she arrives.

I'll be in and out on the TK stream per the usual and Bfizz also has pokerstars school tonight as well, so big day of streaming in the house!

How did you go about learning Spanish? I spent awhile learning it last year but I'm totally out of practice and I wanna get back into it haha

Heyo, so I arrived to Mexico with 4 years of HS Spanish that I excelled in. I barely used it between HS and moving to Mexico so was super rusty, but I was still able to communicate even though my comprehension was quite bad. I was one of the few poker players that was actually able to go make their own bank account, open up a phone line etc w/out the help of anyone else.

Honestly, my Spanish stayed pretty meh until I met my first GF, Alisha. I was conversational and I could talk to girls nps at all and we could spend the entire day together w/out it being awkward at any point but I couldn't have any sort of deep convo really. Alisha is quite the ***** but I will always have to thank her for being so patient with me, correcting me when I made mistakes and overall just helping me improve my Spanish so very much.

Honestly once my fluency hit ~50%, it was a lot easier to get it from 50% the the ~85%ish that I am now. I still struggle with comprehension at times but it's mostly in situations where people are using slang and I don't get know it. I'm slowly getting better with that, definitely out of everyone here I spit and understand the most slang of possibly any American down here that I've encountered.

TL;DR: Talk to girls lulz. Or /use it in person. I think that's by far the best way to learn. I never grinded apps or had a tutor or anything like that



_______________________________________________



Put up a nice weekend grind between Sat/Sun, happy with my effort. Unfortunately didn't run so hot but it is what it is, created dat 'true ev'











Speaking of poker graphs, going to just post a few so that you guys have some graphs to look at

$1-$49 SNG Challenge graph





$50-$99 SNG Challenge graph





Overall SNG Challenge Graph













And per the usual, I'm running really bad at the top of my BI range and have been doing decently well at $200-$500 25bb

HS SNG

















After the Sunday grind, Vivi ended up coming over and we had dinner and a lovely evening together and she bounced early afternoon today. Was a great time as always and was the longest amount of time we'd gone without seeing each other since we met a few months back due to her nanny having issues at home and not being able to come.

I'm pretty excited as I'm getting to meet her son on Friday; I will be the first guy she's ever been involved with that has met him, other than his father of course. He already knows about me and it's perfect as she used to work at a casino and that's her cover story with him, so me being a poker player is going to work out perfectly lulz. They will be leaving on Sunday to go to Mazatlan for a week to celebrate her birthday with her comadre, returning on the 19th (actual bday is the 20th and we'll be together).

Once Bfizz moves out she's planning to bring her dog over anytime she brings her son. He apparently hates other dogs and also hates men, but she has promised that he'll be fine with me because he'll sense that she's happy/calm/relaxed/etc in my presence, should be interesting to see

He too is a pitbull and has a badass name, Zeus. Super loyal and I'm glad she has him as there has been a few attempted break-ins at her house lately. We're actually working on getting a security system installed at her house this week. The nanny couldn't come due to having a break-in at her house and Vivi's mom had a break-in at her house down in Veracruz; Mexico been really bad this year, one of the worst years in terms of crime in a long time.

The big Zeus





She wants to get him to walk with her better as apparently he's super agg and pulls her around etc, so bought this for him off of Amazon tonight. Junior and Alex, Brians 2 dogs, are super well behaved on the leash and I'm assuming with a bit of work she will have Zeus trained as well


Lol gotta love a girl who sincerely appreciates every little thing, that's definitely something I love about her as I am not accustomed to that at all with the girls I've dealt with over the years lulz









Anywayyy, back to the study grind for me. Studied pretty hard today and planning to grind Tues-Thurs and Sat+Sun this week. It's going to be ridiculously hot again this week, mid to upper 90s (32-35c iirc) and humid, really sucks with no AC. Vivi beats the heat by putting towelettes in the freezer lulz...smart girl and I need to do the same

Well, hardly any HS games are running these days, but I still don't remember many people making 6figs at abi <25 in any recent years. I confirmed suck at HS though

So a whole bunch of **** has been going on lately covering basically every aspect of my life...my own grind, turbokings, bfizz/fer/pups and my condo and their new condo, construction going on in my condo and on Calafia Tower 2 itself, etc etc. Not really wanting to get into any of it, but has kept me from grinding a bit and I've been a bit bummed out due to a few things in my personal life. It didn't get any better tonight when I ran into my ex Lupita when I just tried to hit and run my buddy's bar/restaurant after the long grind.

I'm about 20k games behind the 300k game pace which is going to be really tough to make up as that's nearly a whole month's worth of volume, but if WCOOP sats dont end up ****ed up and there is good traffic, I might make a run for it after my parents visit me here in Mexico during mid-late October.

Luckily, I think I've found a really renewed hunger for the grind, something I've certainly lacked since SCOOP ended. I think I'm going to even put in a half session tomorrow and I really can't remember the last time I've played a session on a Monday outside of a COOP/festival; it's certainly been a while. I might wake up and decide to just study a ****ton. If I don't play, it is going to be a forced day of very ****ing intense study and not half studying and half ****ing around all day long.

I've also gotten a bit back on the health and fitness train, have shed a bit of weight back and have gotten into a bit better of an exercise routine and I'm going to churn it up another notch this week. My assistant is going to be cutting out bread and most carbs in general this week with my food, she too has been getting more on the healthy food grind and has started going to the pole dancing class that her sister Fernanda goes to.

So yea, lot of positives to go with those negatives and after writing this all right now, I feel a significant amount better than I felt just 20 mins ago. So success I guess!

Here's an updated SNG challenge graph, pretty nice year I'm putting together at the low-midstakes at a <25 abi, hopefully can have a strong finish to the year as well! Gla on the tables

Oh boyyy, back on the motivation train for the 25bb and attempted 25bb sko learning. Not giving a **** about anything but poker and studying poker leaves for so much time in the day!

Played a 4.5 hour sesh, ran a ****ton of sims and now so bored and wanting to mark some new hands to study

You're an inspiration, man.. Congratz!

I'm curious to know: how do you study? I mean, you mark the hands you've got in doubt while playing and then check later if the action you've taken was +EV?

Hey more or less mark a lot of hands while I play and then run HRC sims. Mark some preflop mtt spots to check with my PIO charts I have and then mark some postflop spots to run sims for

I have been getting a bit back on the study train lately, going back to like early May. Before that, I hadn't been doing a whole lot of study and mostly just played and recovered

________________________________________________

Didn't play on Wednesday nor Friday as I expect those to be my last off days until September 19th :O. If .es/.fr happens to not run sats for their series, I guess I'll likely take a couple days off next week as well, but I expect there to be sats and therefore will at least be grinding during peak every single day of the week. WCOOP starts next Sunday and obv will be going hard on .com until that's over.


Have managed to bounce back with a solid month for the challenge profit wise after a pretty meh June/July, that's good!













I guess I'll share a few things that have made their way into my condo this week. I'll have to snap a few more pics and post them, there's also more to be bought in the next 1-2 weeks. Can obv tell there is a woman decorating, I didn't come up with all these ideas on my own . Kind of nice though, my place has always just resembled like a clean frat house in the past lolz...starting to finally feel like a nice, comfy home and not just a house

I guess this is the price of growing up, I guess I can deal w it










Gonna run a few more sims and then head to bed. Hoping to be on the grind by 7am tomorrow and had quite the long day IRL today on my off day from poker, so am quite tired! RL is certainly much more difficult than clicking buttons all day


Gla on the grind!
