'Unfair nut distributions - a survivors story; recovering in life and poker after losing thousands incorrectly calling down Goosecore and Stan'

In all seriousness though I'd substitute 'Dealing with' for 'Playing' or a 1 word synonym, or change dealt, dealing with too close to dealt for me.

So yeah as you can see i won every hand pretty much. Biggest post i lost was 80bb or something :s

Back at it tomorrow and also doing a quiz with the original gay UK house! Mayo, smb, coinflip, r1aki and peter804. Only the real OG's of this thread will know about that house (scroll back to page 1 of this thread to get your own insight!). Actually that reminds me of that grind house when our water burst and did this to our grind room lmfao:







2 broken computers and r1aki was insanely fortunate to not be grinding, cus that plaster would probably have killed him

ah good time

Quiz was hilarious and benabadbeat came out on top! My quiz was a load of niche questions from the house and r1aki's was the "grandpa round" in which he had images of UK birds lmfao, such a loser. Coinflip_si's round was 'fallen warriors' which entailed us recalling suuuuper old school regs/recs. Some notable mentions were ronfar3 and baldy. if you know, you know hahaha

May results

May has absolutely flown by. I'm not even sure how many weeks into quarantine I am because it's all become a bit of a blur. That said, I'm feeling good and motivation is at an all-time high. Managed to see clients two days a week with weekly supervision, write nearly 15k words, maintain pio study AND play 60k hands. Really pleased to have spent plenty of time outside and hanging with my gf too. Actually kinda ridiculous looking back at it now.

As for the grind, it was a pretty swingy graft. I felt I played extremely well for the most part and as far as I can remember, there was only one hand where i felt i spewed (I didn't rng a river call and had a very bad bluff catcher), but upon reflection, even that wasn't out and out spew.

Graph



Stake breakdown



My grind hours have seen a significant drop off in game quality, particularly 500z, but as always, these are the only times i am able to play. I did sign up to WPN and considering mixing in some reg tables there but we'll see. Actually managing to fastest-finger-first some 1k games for once too

June has to be a huge month in terms of work ethic. It's the final push to get all written pieces handed in (10th, 24th and 6th July), and of course I want to keep up a high standard of poker!

Hope that quarantine life is becoming more relaxed wherever you are in the world.

Took Monday and Tuesday off which was needed. Saw clients and generally took it easy. Feeling very emotionally tired given current affairs but i think given everything that is happening it's a perfectly natural response. Hope everyone else is keeping safe/facing their prejudice in their own ways.

Big swings today but booked a tidy win
