Hi all,

I am 25 years old and play live cash games in London.
Poker has been my only source of income for almost a year. I have never had a losing month (too nitty?).

Before this I had a junior role at a software development company.

I have really enjoyed reading the threads on here over the years and always wanted to make one but have been lazy.
2016 will be the year that I take poker seriously and give it my best shot to clime through the stakes.

I very rarely play tournaments but have been lucky to run good in the few i play. I have something like £30k tourney winnings.

Since the beginning of Jan I am up like £9k. Could have been a bit more if i didn't play £10/25/50/100 PLO in the vic last night
Everyone was doing £300 flips every half hour and I proceeded to brick every single time
(I sold 50% of all action and short stacked the game like a true nit.)

My main game is 1/2 PLO, 1/3 - 2/5 NL
Recently I have been playing tons of PLO dealers choice. (4/5/6 cards. 1 or 3 flops)

Short-mid term goals in poker and in life

- Make 2/5 PLO my main game (without selling)

- Drink less alcohol. I think this is a pretty big life leak for me.

- Study poker like i used to. When playing 2/5 NL+ I often realise i am not the best player on the table.. this tilts me

- keep relationships good and find time for friends / girlfriend / family

- Work out regularly and stay in shape.

- Be less negative mentally.

I went to Vegas last year during the series. Ran great in cash games but bricked every comp. I intend to go this summer so maybe I could post a cool trip report.

I will post some hands from the 10/25+ PLO I played yday. The game was so much fun and i think I had a decent edge short stacking because everyone was so deep and splashy.

Subbed and gl.

two limps of the £100 straddle to me in sb i flat j1085ddhh. bb and straddles complete / check.

flop j 9 5 rainbow. I pot for £500 folds to bb who pots and I put the last 300 in. We run twice and i scoop against QQJx.

The fish in the game limps 100, folds to me in sb with aa85sshh I pot to £400 with 1.6k stack. Reg calls from straddle fish calls.

flop 6 7 j ss I shove flop reg calls. We run twice and chop the pot vs his 1089x

I watched a 3 way 12k pot where the whale called off his chips on the flop unintentionally leaving £600 behind because he didn't push both stacks in at the same time.
The dealer made a big deal about it not allowing everyone to run the board two times because there was still money left in the hand. All the players agreed to leave the 600 behind and just run it but the floor wouldn't allow it so the two players with 600 effective left checked it down. The winner ended up scooping 12k pot with 8 high flush. The other two in the pot were not happy at all.

Friends are going to Dublin for UKIPT series apparently they have booked a sick penthouse. Pretty tilting that they put it across valentines wknd..

Played PLO hungover on wknd and lost lots of medium size pots playing poorly. Folded 10s full on j6106jccc run out. Fish tried to make me feel better by telling me good fold I had nut flush.. I kind of believe him too 😴😣😣

Played the 'loyalty cash race' at empire casino. Every time you play a cash game you receive points and the players with most points gain free entry to the comp.
7k up top 25k prize pool. Busted 4th level with kjhh on q74hh vs qq

Going to Sri Lanka with girlfriend from mid feb so gonna grind good volume this week!

I have been putting my friend in £1/2 NL games and he's managed to put a dent in my loses for the wknd 🙏
