lmao easy as that eh. Reminds me of 2013 when we both went for SNE and quit by feb

Glad you enjoyed it!

haha, i don't remember who you were exactly, and if i banned you or someone else did, but there was a lot going on with playing many hours, following chat and staying awake.

Thanks for the kind words and I do actually enjoy your posts itt a lot

Nice one george. All those years of 28 tabling for many hours clearly served me well. Either that, or 100nl regs don't punish weakness enough. Story checks out eh

thanks bro! nah i doubt it. I don't imagine my wr at 100z would be much higher than 200 due to the effective rake. I think i could manage 6bb/100

bzzzt ty <3

Thanks bro! enjoy your break and moar pics pls

haha you will be waiting a very, very long time for another one of those

So was I to be fair, sorry to disappoint

fyp

Thanks brother! You can donate to my paypal or via stars. If you wanna do paypal, drop me a PM and i'll give you details

A few others have asked to contribute too so i'm just waiting on those before shipping the $$$ to the charities. Will obv post screenshots of all donations sent out too

March Results

March went a lot better which makes a ****ing change. Stopping playing as much on party and moving most my volume to 200z has really helped to settle the ship, along with my mental game.

Graph in $ and bb





Stake breakdown



Super pleased to be finding my groove again. I feel I'm playing very well and am using PIO to affirm many of my lines rather than to learn them. Things just seem to be falling nicely back into place.

I also spent the weekend up in the Lake District with my parents and gf. Went on some hikes and generally took it easy. Was a much needed break after that marathon 24 hour session



My flights to Australia are booked too; leaving 1st May, returning the 27th. So I best get grinding to afford the epic Melbourne brunch scene. Loose goals for next month:

[ ] A game
[ ] 60k hands
[ ] 1 hours of PIO on every grinding day
[ ] Win every flip and eat brunch free for the entire month
[ ] Gym 3x per week

Gl closing out March!

Ooft filthy 50bi month. glgl in April and have a hectic time next month in Aus!

Good job ben, glad to see it turning around for you.

Ben is now probably sitting together with me, wearing our tinfoil hats about party

Nice stress free month!

I hope you like paying 30aud for 2 eggs on toast with 1/4 avocado at least your pound is strong compare to the weak aud

nice to see you grinding some of that ev back , wp

Melbourne brunch scene overrated!

I'll be going to Melbourne that time too! Will you be playing the Crown poker championship?

fkn scumbags using my coffee bet terminology for views

My boy svansa runs soo cl33n

Good to see decent chunk of your winnings comming from gazzy challange. Great results!

Guy obv didn't apply the coffee bet concept correctly and got punished by stars by doing it haha!

Deservedly stacked!

havent seen a runout like that in 25 years

I wish we could run a simulation what would of happened if svansa had decided to raise to some other sizing. Would he go for the coffee re-raise? Or just randomly mashing any of the 3 available buttons?

boom, ty mate! yeah, cannot wait

cheers gaz. Maybe see you when i'm in aus?

ahah 100% confirmed

I DO like spending that much on 2 eggs, luckily

Thanks a lot mate! just another 75bi to go

Ohhh snap. Really? Where is #1 iyo?

When is that? I will be spending a bit of time alone, however, i prob don't wanna be in a casino haha


2 ez for him

haha, not sure if rub down on gazzy or not. Either way, thanks!

absolutely this

I haven't been dealt better than AJo in the bb in 25 years

ahaha, we gotta start simming for this whenever we get the chance. Solve coffee bets???

Kinda frustrating day today because I felt i played super well but had some truly ridiculous hands.



This reg has somehow managed to play every street incorrectly. At least pre is wp

Why would someone who has solved poker play nl200z ? Villains line is totally fine even if your sim with 2 betsizes says it should be "range check" or whatever.

Lol at villains J9 line

That sheep don't look too happy being in the picture...looks like it's about to quote some dirty harry before ending you, damn you visiting Aus will be a nice change for you here when people smile they will actually have teeth.

Great thread. Props to you throughout this journey. Loved the heart in the 100nl charity grind. Props to you n gazzy for that <3 Gl for 2019 ben. Awesome monthly results. Karma for the charity grind imo

Gl not paying for brunch all month m8

obvious superuser. withdraw from Stars immediately
