Nothing to report. This blog is getting less and less interesting each post. haha. BUT, at least, I'm progressing. Now I have 2 thousands saved up. Getting to 1 thousand roll on PS. Then I will be 1/2 way to a live roll.

Should I keep posting those graph or should I just wait for the one with 1K profit? Or mb the one of me getting killed?

Cheers GLGL

Beautiful response

A new peak on Ps. Will play lower for a while just to chill from the swings. Try to keep an eye on my hourly, to not dip it to hard.



I'm the consistency guy here.

GJ skull you just keep crushing, you play a mix of 16/25/50 now?

Also maybe add the info box with bb/100 etc

Yes I mix it up quite a bit these days. I have a good understanding of the power level of the different pool now. So when confident and weaker pool, I ''gamble'' it up.

At the end of the month I will go for a recap showing all of my winrates by stakes mb?

OKay I ****ed it up a little there. lost 250 on stars playing 50 and 25NL. Kinda normal swing but I had not enough on my roll to play that high. I felt so stupid that I deleted the session after. And then had kinda a small panic attack. I feel Like starting from scratch on stars. I did Not loose all my roll. had 650usd on there. But ended up withdrawing the rest.

And here I am now realizing How stupid it was.

SO HERE WE GO AGAIN. Round 2.

Wut are you doing. Mathematically it's fine for you to play NL 50. All you have to do is step down if you lose. The most important skill for a poker player is to be willing to play lower stakes than you would like to if your bankroll says so.

You are so right. Such a noob mistake that's why I felt so bad. I'm back to being a super bankroll nit.

Yeah it's fine, you should measure your total roll not how much you have on stars imo

Keep it up!

Yeah Thommehh you are probably right about that. Cause It's impossible to move up while taking money out. And at this point it's the main reason I cant pass the cap of playing higher than 25.

I will find a part time job to make sure I don't have to take money out. But the good thing is, I feel I'm ahead of the curve a bit now. If I keep pushing but less intense, can probably maintain my level.

The good stuff:
1. I have 2K still saved up from poker. Spent a bunch on regular stuff. But managed from the start of the challenge. To keep that aside.
2. I found an appartement in the city with a friend. (closer to live game)

The bad stuff:
1. My stars roll is low.
2. Still smoking.

So this month I will use what I've learned for my last Micro push. After this one I don't play anything lower than 25NL ever again in my life (hopefully). Now I know have the skills at least...

Here are my results so far AFTER 3 MONTHS OF PLAY.

GG :


Stars:


Made a bit in rakeback while playing GG. Big part of why I was able to save money.

And on starts as mentioned I did destroyed one session but grinded that lost lower. Now I will be smarter with the money this month and going forward.

Well almost already a full week as passed since my last post. And I have been doing very well. May was a tough month: not so much winning, and a lot of self doubt with it. But the confidence is back. And my stars roll is growing real quick.



Back to playing 16NL. But this time I have more info on the regs. And I have some new tools/new lines/new ideas to take advantage of there strat.

I did not play THAT much, only 25 hours this month. But feel tired since the covid shot. so not going full speed.

Just catching up SK.

Reassuringly still crushing with a capital Crrr.

RE the green stuff: been trying edibles lately. Oil is good. Tricky to get dosages right and you lose some of the accessibility (more planning required) but feels so much better on my poor decimated lungs. Cut down use as well. I've also been higher than I've ever been in my life, which is saying something.

Anyway, not sure I even need to wish you luck on the poker front. I guess you're trying to find your minimum pain bankroll and that's a perfectly reasonable approach -esp if you're looking to build a life-roll/go pro. I see your future and it is 100nl (for kicks). Good work, and great bloggin'.

Thank you for taking the time to read! Yeah I like edible I prefer the effect and there is less fatigue after consuming. But I ended up way to high to function normally.

You summed it up there. I risk as little as possible. Because the pain of loosing (Even more when its big money compared to liferoll) influence my mood and my overall life EV.

JUNE W1.

Will share my snowy results every week this month. So it will motivate me to take a look at all the hands that are considered blunder.



Still considered EXPERT.

Being ranked WORLD CLASS, would be a almost impossible thing to accomplish... But at least let's see If I can get a better score next week!

Played basketball last night for 2 hours. My shape and game is disastrous. my dribbling is all right. I will put an emphasis on that over my poker game next week.

Hey man,happy to see your back at 16 NL,keep it going bro!

JUNE W2

Only played 20 hours this week. Focused my energy on basketball.



My graph of the month so far!



I will try to play more hours this week. I did okay volume wise because I had a long session of zoom. But If I want to get a nice roll by the end of the month. I need to push a bit more.

Also. Still looking for players interested in some review session. Either a player that play bigger: to help me out. Or someone that play lower: that I can try to help.

Nice month so far! I'd stop the snowie thing because I've seen it's not really great info you get from that

Mb it's not super accurate but it give me a benchmark on the quality of my play. And it makes it easier to review hands. Sometimes, while reviewing, I take a look at snow strat makes me spark new idea how to approach some situations.

Heyhey guys new stuff in my life.

- I'm planing a 4 day walk through the national parc where I'm from. Never did a physical activity that intense. Never did a more than 2 day walk. So it was necessary I put a lot of time, and effort to make sure my body and mind is ready. Also I've spent a bunch of poker money on it for various gear. But it was a dream of mine to do it one day. So I feel happy with my decision. I will post a lot of photo on here after. And blog the process, I will bring a small notepad to take notes on ideas (not related to poker); And if I feel courageous enough to translate and share. You'll get a peak at that. So I can FINALY, make a new episode and add some variety to this blog.

- I'm moving out of my mom's hostel. Found an appartement in the city. was planned to move there in july. Changing the plan for my hike. Now I will be moving there in August.

NOW POKER.
Did not play very much but can say that I'm back in the GG streets. Not going at it like a mad man. I will post graphs and update after my expedition. I'm still playing low. But for consistent results. Month of july will be an important one.

Sounds fun man; look forward to the report. Always wanted to learn survival skills

Keep working hard. Haven't read the whole thread, but read the last 20 posts or so. Good stuff. Let us know how that 4day walk went, sounds like a great time.

I'm back from my adventure and I did it. More than 50km in 3 days.




I also had a smaller back pack that I was wearing on the front. for quick access. (Snacks, usefull clothes ; coat, sox, sweater.)

Because of lack of experience, I thought Of bringing extra water. ( dont have to access water to treat it to be drinkable). But the problem was the weight, as I was way heavier. for walking, water is your best friend and worst enemy.



This is the map you can see a bit of the topography. There was a lot of climbing. Its the end of the Appalaches. Lots of peaks and valleys as we say.


DAY 1: The departure. 20km

We were supposed to start the first of July in the morning but my partner, an old friend of mine, felt very tired that day and asked for leaving the next day.
I accepted, and the next morning he showed up 2 hours late...
My tilt level was rising as I was stretching my legs. ''We been talking about this for months and the guy can't even be on time.''

When the guy arrived is backpack was not even finished, or adjusted or anything. Was a bit shocked from the lack of prep. And guess what; After 5 mins of walking the trail he said to me: ''My backpack is way too heavy'' I sight and said: ''Oh well'' kept my walking rhythm.

First peak.


Second one.


You can see the small progress made. Well that's a lot of sweat for it. and that view was quite depressing but also breathtaking.

The lake in the valley.


The beaver dam on the other side.


The second lake.


At that point I was extremely tired. same for my partner. And we knew that we had an other peak to go through before our campground. I think the ratio of complaining between me and my partner was something like 20 him, for 3 from me. It was slowly getting on my nerves. That section was extremely muddy, my feet were constantly wet. It was also a factor for the low morale at that point.

The last peak.


On the other side.


We took a break there, as the sun was setting. I never been this exhausted in my life. We were both going thru our memory of the past. Trying to come up with a point in our life we been that tired. And remembered the time I went to Paris as a teen. And after the flight decided to climb by stairs the Eiffel tower. Was so tired that I felt asleep in the ice-cream I ordered.

We had a small walk before setting camp and eating supper in the night. Did not take pictures. But it is the most rudimentary campground you can imagine. The only commodity being a poll for suspending your food. So bear can't get access to it...

DAY 2: Loosing my partner.
The nigh was a bit cold. Woke up at 4 am in the morning. But ended up falling asleep again, when gaining back my body heat.

The next morning it took a lot of time to repack our things. I was noticing that my partner was not really excited to keep on going. My body was not sore after the day 1. And dally basketball training seemed to have paid of. But my friend didn't had a body training before the hike. After 30 mins of walking. And 2 hours late on the program. I noticed that I'm way ahead. So I take a break, and a decision. If I want to finish it, I need to tell him that we separate. He will be crossing a car road in 8km. Than he can decide if he quits or continue. But at that speed I will never finish. And As I said to him: '' I will cross that parc what ever it takes.''

So I gain some speed and went on my own. It was mostly flat. Until the hardest climb. I should have taken a picture of the trail. I don't even understand how they maintain it... Smallest step of the hike, and a lot of swearing later, you get and insane view. In the very middle and peak of the mountains.

One side.



The other side. 10 steps further.


Than a lot of going down until you cross the road. Took a meal break until I called my friend and knew he was quitting. Than went on. It was mostly flat, until the last peak, where there was a watch tower. Took a pic to show how on the side of the cliff.





The last picture is the end of the trail. And where I will be heading tomorrow. I had a incredible sunset. when I arrived at the campground.





The next morning I took a pic of the cliffs I just walked by. You can see the watchtower.


I had to squat the campground, as the reception was closed. So was a bit stressed to leave the as soon as possible the next morning. Took time to take advantage of the campground commodities. Good water, showers, can make a fire. But left as a thief at 6am after quick breakfast and stretching.

DAY 3: THE COAST, THE END.

was a tough part as I didn't sleep that well. I took a nap at some point. But good thing it was mostly flat.






That was quite an adventure. Who knows? There might be an other one waiting for me. I am shocked that my body was able to pull it off. It was the most intense thing I ever did.

Now let's play some cards.

Nice read SK. What a beaut. I was rooting for your mate to pull off a miracle and silently overtake you by the end for a laugh but, alas, they've let us all down there. At least you didn't have to resort to cannabilism.

Yeah should have came up with a crazier story or something with more punch, but the fact is: All I did is walking, no time or energy for anything else. All my well being bars (Like in the sims) were low. So after 3 hours of hiking, all you think is : eat. You do it without the constant over flooding of thoughts that I normally get. Your objectifs are so link to your body. It's not the mind that is reminding you those.

Fun experience on that aspect.

Yeah I was tilted at the guy but still had plenty of nuts. The thought of eating him up didn't crossed my mind...


Yet...
