Sup guys, thoughts its time for a title change.


Soo this month was fairly intense for me. I played 160 hours with around 60 hours of solver work and drilling that solver work so its impossible for it to not integrate. Literally sat down 3 times a day repeating out loud my notes for each major node and what my strat is there like a mad man. Going to take it easy the next day or two. Also most likely going to be playing more reg tables, zoom is nice for ease of play and training/practice but the reg tables seem infinitely better.

Since people like girafs here's some


Reg tables this month 90% ps



Zoom 100nl this month



Total month




Sneak peak of mainly last years PLO results

NLH reg table graph seems like a PLO graph. Your plo results seem pretty solid why are you switching over to NL?

Hey, think iv had worse NL ev graphs than PLO. I kind of got the itch to play NL again since it was my game pre-PLO although a long time ago now.

---

Ended up playing a bit more instead of resting up for a couple days, tmoro def off. Reg tables going a little better. 50 buy ins ev month not the worst NL come back.



reg going for that value

Study theory concepts, look at some data, develop game plan, drill what youve learned, review ranges daily..sit down at table one persons limping, see one reg 4b me co v sb with JTo, two orbits later 29/20/11 reg flats JJ bb v btn = wtf am I learning, doesnt even feel like im playing the same game sometimes


Getting in 6-8h a day still all reg tables. Playing a few sites now too with good action. Month so far



Just for fun, all 100nl regular tables since the start of the year, NL can be just as brutal as plo



going for the double xr vs reg



these spots so



got em

Ugh that 100nl reg table graph is disgusting

Yeah, its not the best experience but it can also be a plus in making you a little more mentally resilient.

------

Last few days below, couple more stacks and 200 shot in coming (no jinx).



tough spot for reg



nit ring table, reg cold calls out of blinds, the genius move overall, these games are very slow but soft and dont require as much attention so been adding them on the side

Week 1 of May done, reached a 5bi 200nl shot roll - hoping it sticks and can move a step forward.

Big GL with the 200 shot!
We're on a similar run so far at 100nl for the month :P EV doesn't work with my site so kinda nice not ever looking at it xd

Solid results, where are you playing bro?

-----

Ended up mixing 100 and 200, won some at 200 and got pretty rekt at hundo. Might stick around 100nl and grow the roll more and just take a larger shot later on.



Also watched that simulation theory (meant to be documentary i guess) A Glitch in the Matrix last night, but it really wasn't very convincing and seemed poorly made -although the concept itself is quite intriguing.

Things went pretty damn smooth today. Felt fresh at 5am randomly, got up did 90mins of solver work and played a boatload of hours 3 tabling and trying to implement things.

Very nice! Last graph 100nl?

subbed, gl sir

Svenska Spel, it's a swedish only site filled with donks

Thanks nope it was 100nl.

Thanks man, gl to you too.

Ah thought it was gonna be something like that

------------

Uneventful last 3-4 days, played well just cant get any momentum going. Also added Party and havnt imported since im still using HM2 like a donk - but nice to get some rakeback.

+300 Party so roughly even

Unlucky, but subbed and good luck

Hopefully future shot will go great

Thanks man, but shot went well just got hammered at 100nl haha

---------

Soo played like 35k hands last 4 days. Did a couple of GG leaderboards or 6 tabling FF on Party. GG leaderboards are insanely draining tho and although very decent value I dont think I can sustain then unless I do 1 day on and then 2 rest
However, really enjoying the FF games + rb its a decent hourly with like 1300+ hands an hour, the games play like on crack at times tho compared to the pokerstars pool, its quite fun battling since sometimes the pool barely has fish. It can be great at certain times as well.

GG +400 (12 bi under ev ) - not on graph below

FF (missing + 1bi and 250ish rb)

Jeez that's some insane volume, can you estimate you current hourly including rakeback?

Not too sure yet, although I think its likely quite decent when added all up. Ill post ff hourly when I get a bigger sample maybe like 50-100k hands min.

Month going ok, will post results in a few days.

had some fun ones today vs regs

not thrilled here since I can be drawing very dead, but these games play quite aggressive

May was pretty uneventful, got in around 15h of study this month. If anyones got a study group going and needs an additional member PM me or if anyone wants to create one.

Stars


Party + $800ish rakeback with some gold splashes thrown in


GG + $300 (30k hands) ran awful there, not sure about GG. The games are by far the softest but rake is so damn high.

Sup guys, thought id throw in a final update.

Anddd I got logged out and lost the post so i will short cliff it.

-Began losing interest in PLO, thought it was PLO, tried some NL was semi interesting then realized its just poker overall. (June was the last hand I played and I have no desire to even open the lobby).
-After roughly 12 years on and off, iv decided to make it a hobby if i ever get the itch to play again.
-Did fairly well over that time frame, but I feel like im at the age where I know where I want to go (roughly) career and investment wise.
-I interviewed quite a bit in July for a couple positions and made it to the final round of both spots. Got an offer for the one I wanted more tho. Essentially a blue team position in infosec for a large company. Pays more than I made last year from the pokers. Also dca'ing crypto/etf for a while now and will keep researching that field as a hobby.

Thanks to all who came along for the journey. Was a fun ride, made some lifelong friends and learnt a ton of lessons
