After completing a checklist and journal each day things are looking up. Im very busy with work so volume has suffered, but each time i play i am in the zone. Mentally im relaxed and prepared to play. There have been to occasions where i didnt feel like playing so I didnt. Im glad i didnt force myself.

Progress



Off to USA and vegas in 74 days. Really looking forward to it
Is this a permanent move to the US? if not what are your plans if/when stars leaves Aus will you be on ACR?.

Obv there are also some sickos. But that's probably like 1% of the players.
Nah man, wasn't targeting any specific format. Just saying that 3bb/100 as a winrate is kinda low looking from variance point of view.

What do you mean by "from a variance point of view"?

I mean the game when you have 3bb/100 starts to get especially swingy compared to 4bb. It seems like it's only one bb, but the "swinginess" nearly doubles.

hello everyone
sorry for the lack of updates but real life has been crazy and still is. im super busy with work at the moment with staff replacements, resignations and recruitment. Plus focussing alot on health i havnt had time to grind much at all. When i have grinded im playing well. Mentally solid but still errorrs i can easily see upon review.

WSOP in 64 days, cant ****ing wait! Will be good to catch up with some D7 cfp crew etc for some beers. So 2 weeks in vegas for wsop and before that 2 week road trip with my mrs along west coast. Very nicccceeeee

Anyway will update again soon - perhaps after i play more and give post a graph and hands

all the best

Im actually feeling pretty decent at 200z but i just cant seem to get any momentum, especially over the past two days. Running like **** too

Past two days alone



Only played 11.8k hands at 200z and ev bb 3.83
maxde1 - The challenge of real life and reaching HSNL Quote
04-26-2017 , 12:05 AM
Played a decent session this morning and again ran below EV. Won around $580 and ev of $800 ish.

Made a horrendous bluff w AQo in 3b pot on 23556 fd, not sure why i bluffed river....

I might stop this blog soon. There doesnt seem to be any value in it for me anymore and with poker "ceasing" in australia there is probably no point.

I hope everyone has enjoyed the ride, from 5nl to 200z essentially. I still regard myself as a RB reg who makes too many mistakes both mentally and technically. I love the game and will continue to play, the cfp has and still is invaluable so shout out to D7, Ishter, Foursixfour and George for the great input. Im looking forward to making more money (maybe just in ev at current rate lol )

Would like to see it keep going. The difference between where you started and where you are now is incredible. Think the last hand you posted is testament to that, pretty sure you would've just b b bc even a short while ago, whereas obviously your line makes way more theoretical sense.
