Just caught up man, gl with the poker goals, re: those over discussions - was all a little too much for me. I agree with what ZomgTiltz said though.

Gl in States and sorry we didn't have change to grab that beer bro!

Have you thought of using DriveHUD for Ignition/Bovada, WPN, Chico games?

yeah so if I use huds it makes different sites crash so to have 4 sites running at the same time I have to be hudless. But yes I am aware of drivehud.

Thanks, yeah I'm happy to have derails but preferably not about sexual politics.. hopefully i'm not broke by the time i'm back in london in june

thanks man I need it


So I posted an update but I guess it didn't go thru, rewriting it now (this).
After my first session I was 3 hours in and stuck 8k. Lovely.
Now I'm at 4:26 and am breaking for dinner, won a little back. I've got to do 6 hours after dinner which should be manageable. I spent a while catching up with people today that won't be regularly repeated. It set me back a little bit timing wise but I'm not worried about catching up.
Games are good, I just didn't win allins earlier.

I've got some thoughts about dating & dating apps that I'll flesh out more another time. peace

I had a time this past session when I had a voice narrating in my head something like--
It was at this exact moment, when I'd just bluff ripped on the river into a whale named Sp_ee_W that I realized I'd made a grave mistake


4 more hours after a short break and i'm allowed to sleeeep

today has been a god damn war this bet is such a dumb idea but I'm going to do it.

Cool bet. Are you ahead of pace?

i'm half an hour behind pace which i'm making up today

4:13 into today and really taking a beating in allin ev, although breakeven on results. when the upswing hits it's going to be huge as i'm scooping up ev left and right. 7 more hours to go after a quick break

goggoog.


just grind that ***** out, monies will come.

I have to say the last two days have been the worst stretch of card distribution / allin ev i've had since I can remember. Maybe since last january. I just have to keep my head on straight and grind thru it. I can't pick out any particular beat because it's not that.. i'm just losing way more than my fair share. It'll turn around eventually and is why we have bankrolls etc. But damn I wish it wasn't during a volume prop. 18:39 down so far, I'm trying to get to 21:00 before sleeping tonight after a short break. Games are good, it's just a matter of time.

thx brooo true dat

21:59 done so far. I had a huge comeback today from losing a lot to losing a little. The upswing at the end gives me some hope. It really is just distribution stuff that's going on, I need more hours which will come soon. I'm about to pass out, wake up and start again.

First day ended -7822 at 9:58. Second day ended -1280 at 12:01. Angling for another 12 hours today, might even go for 13 if I get a second wind and games run late into the night. Firing off some mtts today too since i'll be glued to my screen anyway lets gooo

smashed out a quick 5:15 cashing two of four tourneys, now for cash for the rest of the day. up some so far

9:18 so far today, up 3862... games are all dead which is pretty frustrating. I'm going to take a couple minutes off and see if the degens come back. was up close to 6k at one point and started the day stuck a good amount

I dropped down to -12k for the three days and bought out for just the flights to bulgaria. I'm going to take a short break today to clear my head and get back at it at my own pace. I learned where my limits are in terms of volume and discipline etc. I didn't play B game at all, a few minutes ago when I closed my tables was the point at which I was going to start playing worse than A game and the EV of the bet (like 1.2k US or so?)is equivalent to spewing in two hands so better to just stop. Fair play to my friend, he is definitely a super sick grinder. Altho it probably helps he won more than I lost in the first few days ^^

On the plus side I got a hud working with ignition so far which is pretty big. hasn't crashed yet, fingers crossed.

I'm going to take a few hours off and play some more in the evening at my own pace.

I've been playing a few hours in the last few days with a modest recovery. Was playing less anticipating putting in good volume tonight and over the weekend. Fri night & sunday will be high volume. Starting after dinner

Up 6.3k over the last few days having put in good sessions yesterday and earlier today. Maybe another session before going out tonight and then hard tomorrow.

I've been doing a ton of reading on real estate recently... more thoughts to come soon. There are a couple courses of action I'm considering. I'll lay them out at some point. This weekend was definitely a success, i'm going to keep medium volume for this week and put in more hours fri-sun again.

Do you notice any collusion at the higher stakes on ignition? It seems like in a very small pool it'd be harder to avoid if it happens.

ignition is anon, seems impossible to tell even if you suspect it.
They arent going to blatantly squeeze you as its too obv, so they may try to run a bluff knowing somebody elses card removal but you'll never be able to prove/know thats why they did it

It's very hard to spot but almost definitely happens.

If you're making $$ at the end of the day do you really care?

Well in poker, your edge changes, and you can’t immediately have an accurate idea of it, especially if it occurs through means you’re not aware of, like collusion, as opposed to simply being outplayed, which is already hard enough sometimes.

Amazing thread man enjoyed reading thus far GL

Ya but pixie look at it this way. You put in 350 hours and make 25k while having soft or hard collusion impact 8% of your hands. You've got 25k and can't do anything about stopping the collusion.. do you care? It is what it is.

Thanks appreciate it.

So I took like 5 days off doing a bunch of reading and dating. I went to a very informative seminar on real estate deals for commercial and multifamily deals. They stream them on facebook live so in the future I don't have to attend in person which is nice.

I'm back on the online grind now. Did some 5/5/10 PLO yesterday that was eye gougingly slow but ran well-ish and booked a win. Not much to talk about
