Are you playing exclusively on 888? Considering any other sites too?

nice, used to live partly in Croatia for many years and party a lot in Ambassada Gavioli club in Izola - Slovenians definitely know how to party hard

Playing mostly on 888 as imo the softest and less swings and constant income due to smaller fields

also run out of funds on ps and party earlier as the 888 payout process is so slow and so I cash out rather on those sites and then run aground the rest

I am always looking to do trades 888 for party or ps, but its hard to find ppl who look for 888 funds lately :/

Croatia is a beautiful country too... Indeed, I have to agree on that one about us

Fair enough, smaller field = less variance generally too

GL! Will be following

Hello old man

What would you say are the best days / times to play your stakes when talking about softness?

Nice work btw and all the best to you and your son.

grias di nochboar

thu and fr are imo the softest by far, funplayer are playhorny after the workweek and many pros take days off

sat also soft but less action

sunday can be soft as hell or tough, as all pros are around, but also loads of funplayers, imo luck with tabledraws is as important as running good on sundays

mondays can be quite crazy, funplayers either tilted from the weekend donking off their last bucks or playing to high (mtts and cash) after one huge bink on sunday

.. also tx and gl to you

I like playing morning hours during the week because of the smaller fields. Do you always play afternoons and evenings?

evenings are much softer and splashier, in the morning there are so many low stakes pros from east europe around ... and no splashy funplayers from uk, canada, westeurope

I've lurked this thread but now that BRUNO entered the mix, felt obligated to post. Getting the sense that you just triple barreled some nonsense and got snap called and now he's judging you.

Pretty impressive how you're currently 8th for amount of tournaments played on 888 this yead(according to sharkscope leaderboards) while not being a 13vpip Russian or Brazilian and while having one of the better ROIs of the field. Any old man advice for that work ethic? Can you talk about how many days per week you usually aim to play, how long is your registration period, morning rituals, how you eat, etc? You don't have to give anything away that you deem as sick secrets of the trade, I'm just generally curious.

lol .... BRUNO was afraid of the camera or feared a nail cut or a tick extraction procedure as I sit down on the floor and called him ...... :P

thx for the compliments..... hmm ...... I am not the ritual type and do way too little sports these days..... just get up around noon, mostly take a longer walk / small hike with Bruno and usually eat healthy

as its my full time job for now, I play like 6 days a week a full schedule from early afternoon until 1-5 in the morning (depends how deep I run), in the afternoon my focus is on sats; regspeeds I reg till around 10 pm, mixing in little turbos and some ticket sats in the end

my biggest advice is to do serious training (like 2-3 times 45min in the gym and 2-3 times 45 min running / cardio per week), I did that most of my life, when I stop for more than two years I see myself clearly deteriorating mentally
food wise, mix healthy food with lots of fruits, vegetables, potatoes, dark bread, muezli and protein from low fat meat, eggs, cheese
also good is intermediate fasting .... you only eat 1-2 meals in the evening (4 hours of food and 20 hours without) ....... keeps you highly focused and lean

other from that .... I learnt it the hard way over many years, my biggest advice is a strict 200 buy in brm that you almost daily discuss with the person closest to you in your life (me with my son), so there is no way you start faking it

p.s.: and ahh ... I listen to minimal / underground techno / house dj mixes while playing.... keeps me in the flow and full of energy
