Time for a lil update. It's been a while!
So, my official resignation is in - I'm leaving the hedgefund at the end of this month and will be playing poker full time after that!
My results have been 'ok' this year. Had the runbad when I shot took but overall my results have been good. Will probably just grind 200z and alternative sites for now on as it's easy stress free income. Have studying lined up which will properly commence when I start playing full time.
500z seems interesting - If selected properly it can be softer than 200z but I often grind midday in the UK and the pool is normally small and reg infested at this time. I am confident I am winning there but It's going to be more profitable for me to grind elsewhere the majority of the time. After i've had the time to work on my game though (from going full time), who knows.
Giraffes for YTD (HEM for stars and H2N for alternative sites)
Just gonna grind it out with work until the end of the month and then I can get serious with poker due to removal of time constraints and see what we can accomplish in an industry that many people keep phrasing as 'dead' (lol)
GL at the tables and say hi if we battle

Spoiler:
Booked couple weeks in July with some boys
500z looked a bit too juicy last night so had a dabble...
Spoiler:
Really excited to get onto doing this fulltime and hopefully being able to battle with some more established regs at 500z (... and higher?)
Nothing too exciting hands wise on stars

April Recap
- Played a ton of volume for part time. About 95k hands on stars and then some on alternative sites.
- Decent results in BB/100 everywhere but generally played poorly and ran bad at higher stakes
Still overall a very decent month which I can be pleased with - especially with the regrind at the end where I played significantly better
I also managed to find a hater who got a bit salty
Results:
May Goals-
Unsure tbh. Probably just gonna grind cash hard both on stars and alt sites. Might shoot some SCOOP we shall see....
Either way it's gonna be exciting going ahead fulltime. Lets see what next month brings.
