There goes February.

In short, super happy that I've managed to make the month a small winner. It's definitely been a tough four weeks mentally but I think I've come out of it learning a lot and benefiting from it all.

Got the green light to go ahead with another 100 shot which I'm obviously really pleased about, but I'm also extremely determined in equal measure. I think I went into the last shot with too much of a negative attitude (expecting to have to move back down etc.) a month or so ago. Expect to fail and you will and all that. That's not going to happen this time around. I also think that I've improved in a lot of aspects at the tables since the last shot which helps with the confidence part.

So yeah, it's all good! Gonna start posting more in the way of savers (mainly music and beautiful women) from now on in, as I do want to try and keep this thread light-hearted and not just all about the poker.

I couldn't resist myself. Have already seen season 3, hangover days do that to you.

Nice comeback on the month and the progress. Gogogogo

I'm through episode 11 already.

I'm an addict, but it's such a good show.

100 shot has been weird so far. Emotions have been everywhere, but the little rostucko in the session I just finished has made me feel so much better. Not going to try and over-analyze it as it's no hands so far and there's a long way to go.

Hero (UTG): 123.11 BB
MP: 204.2 BB
CO: 100 BB
BTN: 163.45 BB
SB: 103.52 BB
BB: 167 BB

SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has K A

Hero raises to 2.44 BB, MP calls 2.44 BB, CO calls 2.44 BB, fold, SB calls 1.94 BB, fold

Flop: (10.76 BB, 4 players) A 7 2
SB checks, Hero checks, MP checks, CO bets 7.2 BB, fold, Hero calls 7.2 BB, fold

Turn: (25.16 BB, 2 players) K
Hero checks, CO bets 14.2 BB, Hero calls 14.2 BB

River: (53.56 BB, 2 players) 3
Hero checks, CO bets 22.5 BB, Hero raises to 99.27 BB and is all-in, fold

Hero wins 95.76 BB

So this was incredibly yolo. Hand is probably good enough to call the river, but it ticked so many of the right boxes to go ahead and shove as a bluff. Super unsure about it though.

Heh, it always seems to be that the people I think are awful are the biggest crushers (hi every Russian reg ever) and the ones I always think are half decent are not.

But I dunno really. Just looking through the lobby now, as nobody is sticking out in my mind. Weshero and mssclick have always seemed alright. Veronika666 I remember having an annoying time against as well. There are more, but I've got nothing atm!

Hey guys, maybe not the right place for this but I was really hoping to relocate to Malta from Europe in the coming months. Can anyone clue me in to how things are going down there in terms of live poker, living, cost of living, etc?

Also, would anyone want to chill or need some flat mates
