Gl gilly let's be review buddies ha

Grind till u die!!

vamoooooooooooo!

finished 2nd for about €1.8k, got coolered HU for the lot. Reviewing twice today by looks of it + a grind session, busy busy busy

Reviewed 2x mtt's today, including last nights 20r where I discovered a disgustingly bad 5 high lean which eventually got through.

Started a little later than usual due to reviews and managed to find the win in the $8 1r1a on Stars for $3.2k!



Had a couple of other runs that died down as we got closer to FT, but the win more than pays for the day and gets us back in profit for the year. Realised I run lol pure on ft's, providing I fade the ol' 10th-15th place finish.

GG man!

Would be interesting to post some hands to discuss or something.

I thought you said you don't play turbos!

some turbos got a higher average stack at the FT than that tourney

haha nice one #t500

think it's borderline, not too turbo'ey and the starting stack means I can rofl about for long enough to feel like im not push/fold by the time we hit antes

Will post some hands when there are some that I really struggle to get to the bottom of.

The problem is most hands that look borderline spewy or outrageous are justified by dynamic that can only be shown by posting 20 other hands or so, which makes the hand hard to discuss if I'm justifying it with points that can really be put into words

Errm can you coach me i r fish not on heater and wanna be fishonheater...plz,all joking aside well done on your rise up wasnt to long ago it was gill bootcamp!!Keep crushing

Nice score buddy!

Ha still time for future boot camps, as long as I recognise when I require them.

Today had my first group review session with all coaches and fellow players, whilst having the chance to get to know them. Jumped straight in with my $8r result from last night, felt really sweaty as not only were the coaches judging my play it was also the first impression of me given to all the players I will be working alongside.

In game I felt like there were a few marginals but nothing outstanding, but we spent 3 hours going through just half of the tournament due to in depth spots despite things being kept relatively straight forward. Out of about 150 hands I think there were 6 hands or so where I could have considered taking alternative lines which is alot considering the amount of hands you are able to get through a day, and shows how much small edges add up through a bunch of mtt's.

It helped show me how I am still a long distance away from playing optimally so to speak, which felt pretty inspiring as it gave me a bunch of notes to work on in the future.

Had the day off today, back otg tomorrow

Subbed mate gl, totally agree with the rebuy rake thing, fr shafted us in the storms but at least they were soft and we could still play there, doubt any of us stop flicking the best ones anyway.

Took the gf to the ski slope yesterday in prep for our ski holiday in a week, she managed to break her finger which is rly frustrating. Did however manage to take her to A & E, get it bandaged up and reg in time for the Big $75, may have been little harsh looking back on it but yolo.

Didn't feel like I played to my full potential yesterday, but managed to hit ft of $13.50 7.5k and find top 70 finish in big 8.80. Going to cut back on the amount of tables I play to 9 max instead of 10-11, there are a lot of areas for improvement which is going to be hard to focus on whilst playing higher volume.

I do feel like in blogs aiming for x amount of games per month/year is probs unhealthy, as whilst playing max amount of tables is probably most profitable short term, in the long term it's going to be detrimental to progress as a poker player. It's far too easy in review saying "I should have done this but I had a load of tables open", clearly not the way forward when trying to improve your game.

Back otg today/tomorrow, probably play Monday before a day off on Tuesday to go to Wolves vs Fulham, watch us get knocked out the FA Cup.

Agree, the Storm's were probably my favourite MTT's to grind despite never finding final 4/5 tables.

Cut down on tables today to 9 max, meaning they could be bigger on screen which always feels sexier. Whilst I lost on the day (only 12th in $16.50 turbo and 30th in Grand Saturday to write about) It felt like a winning day. Things didn't feel so stressed, I felt much more composed and felt v happy about most spots despite getting ran over in marginal calls/folds.

I'm going to make sure each day I watch JG's daily motivational video (or at least catch up if I miss a day). They feel really inspiring and are getting me to do more work as I watch them after sessions as they come to an end.

This is one of my favourites, and part of it sums my current attitude up. I'm never the horse who needs to be warned about volume, advised about working hard, I feel already go beyond the expected amount as I see them as musts, not should's.

You r/c my 20bb (ish? Cant remember, on ipad atm but you were not commited in any way) reshove ep vs sb with KQs f2t in the super stack on ftp today. That was rather loose i think? thoughts?

Sorry if i got the spot wrong, just stumbled upon your thread and remembered the spot.
It looks like you work very hard and seem like a very likeable guy, best of luck this year!

Also nice thread, subbed!

You had AK right?

was like 15/16bb from what I recall, felt super close. Snap Icmize'd it and was like a break even call given a tightish range so was preeeeetty annoyed with myself. Saying that in game I felt it may be a touch wider as it was from the sb and would cause a significant dent in my stack so you may have thought I had more FE, as well as the fact that we had only just got itm so thought you may have nitted up pre bubble then yolo'd once itm. Would have folded if I was one spot earlier, but probs still a mistake in game.

Thanks, glgl to you too

kinda what I felt at the time, KJs+, KQo+, AJo+, A10s+, 55+

Sunday funday.....

really focussed yesterday, for first four hours or so was listening to motivation videos and stuff. Had deece stacks early managing to get QQ to put chunks in pre in spots where I had AA, then it all went a bit sour. Seemed to have AA in most spots where I busted, was more frustration at run outs than frustration at myself.

However I pulled a mad lean with AJ in a 3 bet pot on QQ10-A-3, where I bet, check turn, cram over a donk on riv over thinking the hand, expecting Qx to fold that wasn't a boat, potentially 1010 and KJ. However he took my arm off with AK. What's most annoying is that it was in the Sunday Million and was jamming with 20k fairly early on, got too ambitious coming down with a spell of fancy play syndrome.



Did however find a slightly more than mincash result in the $215 megadeep on 888 and the $100 50k on Party Poker.

OTG today before taking tomorrow off, although will still be looking to review midday.

Raaaaaaah, pretty annoying day although kept composure with a bunch of motivational vids. Feel like they will really help me stay locked in focus during sessions in the future.

Bricked a lot of things, came across some pretty special hands including a bro 3b jamming 40bb in the $109 8k on 888 with 22 where we open UTG, the software must inspire individuals although could do with average run outs.

Had a day saver at the death, the €75 €5k on ipoker. felt really comfy until AQ<A8, AQ<A7 and K6<K2 pre all with 5 players left to finish me off for €300 or so.

Whilst 1 tabling I reviewed a players hand history who is a mid stakes reg. Made me consider maybe I get a little harsh on myself considering the amount of mistakes made within the hh, probs around 40 over 500 hands or so when I really beat myself up if I see one with 4+ in. However don't fancy a switch in attitude and mindset so will continue to get pissed at myself for any mistakes and try to learn from them.

Had a pretty sick couple of days, Yesterday managed to get 2 hours of review in with all those in the stable, picked up some bits for pre ante gameplay which I still feel is weaker than my end game. Also discussed some mental game stuff which I've found really interesting of late, whilst I think most feel like their preparation may be borderline OCD and a bit sad, it makes up a huge part of the game.

After this last night went to the Wolves vs Fulham game in the cup. Really entertaining game where we were as good as sat on the side of the pitch behind the goal, saw all the action including the penalty shootout we went on to lose. Annoying result but incred match as a spectator, weather made it all the more special also.



Today took the gf skiing at a large indoor snow dome to get her ready for our holiday on Sunday. Taught her a fair bit and felt she improved dramatically despite breaking her finger on Friday, first time I had skied in about 3 years also so was good to get back out on the slopes.

Found it home back in time for the Big $75 to reg a full session. Think I about broke even despite FT'ing the Breeze and the $26 10k, had a reaaaaaally sick icm spot 7 handed where he had an RFI of 57 from this position and a steal % of 75, stacks around kill us but feel we need to go with something and have pretty good equity vs his range, despite no FE (although he taaaaaaaank called). Discussed it with backers and all felt it was ridic close, although pay jumps werent massive they were still existant:

Going to start logging mistakes made for each session along with marginal spots where I really scratched my head and wasn't sure, but perhaps should be more certain about. With mistakes they wil be the sort where about 30 seconds+ after you click a button you start to think "actually I should have def taking line y, not line x". Going to aim to reduce this over time, obviously there are more where I could have not taken the optimal line but would need to review the tournament to check it. Whilst all lines I take aren't optimal, they are to the best of my ability, so whilst these numbers are above zero I'm not fullfiling my current potential. I wan't to be learning from my mistakes and feel logging them will give me the desire to do more about it.

I didn't tank I was mass tabling but gg unlucky

haha that was you? running the table over. winnar?
