Gunna be heading over to Blackpool this weekend for the GUKPT. Haven't been there since I was a wee nip. Anyone else heading there? Recommendations on the best place to stay etc?

Not particularly. With this new comp though I can run 3-6 postflop spots at the same time so will def help a lot get things done quicker. The thing I enjoy most about them is taking the results then filtering out the spots on the general population. Really cool to see how the top guys are deviating then try and extrapolate why. Then do the same things with the top regs in my games, then the next tier of regs and so forth.

Strong possibility he never plays again. Gutted for the guy. Seems like a genuinely nice man and an absolute baller on the pitch.

Ahh don't beat yourself up too much mate, happens to the best of us. Just remember it's not personal, it's just cards.

I really wouldn't mind if it was coming off the back of a bad downswing or some huge break even stretch or something like that, but I've been having a really good year and can complain about literally nothing. I'm not actively thinking about outside of play or at the start/beginning of sessions but it's coming from somewhere while I'm playing and I really don't like it. I'm subconsciously turning into a massive self entitled twat.

Have you had any mental game coaching? This is a text book Elliot Roe thing and I couldn't recommend him enough. My friend from above would also pass on his recommendation too I think.

The nerd in me would love to play around with some o8 sims. How usable are the resources? I have Piosolver but I've not bothered with any of the plo software out there yet, mainly because my opponents don't play very close to a solver style, so I am unsure on how useful running sims would be. I'd mostly like to see NLO8 too, which probably would involve some ridiculous level of computational power.

Yeh I may look into doing that if only for 1 session. Def can't hurt and I suspect I may have some other mental leaks I have no idea about.
There's only one program that does O8 that's not a bot as far as I know. The solves are huge though and you'd be paying a lot to rent a server to do a full perfect preflop one. Haven't even thought of trying a NLO8 one or even a NLO one. Def worth looking into though. From whats already been done it seems solvers prefer playing waaaaay tighter pre than everyone is at the minute. But it's hard to extrapolate when there would be one fish or more at the table. I suspect cold calling ranges and 3bet ranges would change dramatically, pretty much to what people are doing now anyway. Rake also has a huge effect on every preflop solve, and O8 I'm betting would be even more extreme.

He doesn't need to be convicted of anything for Netflix to cancel a TV show. Pretty sure they've already had talks with him which prob went down like-

Netflix- Kevin there's some pretty big allegations against you saying you tried to molest multiple children. We need you to come out with a statement saying you thoroughly deny and our legal team will get to work to quash these hideous rumours.

Kevin- Well I'm not saying I did molest them...... but you know what I'm like after a few drinks

Netflix- You can't work here anymore Kevin

Someone (now multiple people) have accused him of being a pedophile and not only has he not denied it, he's apologised for it. His career is over. Don't think it's an over reaction for Netflix to not want one of their flagship shows to be spearheaded by a nonce.

Hey guys,

Finally pulled the trigger on a new computer. Was pretty close to going balls out and getting a really high spec one to run any sim you could possibly want for PLO, but I reigned it in a bit as a lot of the really high intensity stuff is all preflop. Aside from the fact a lot of this stuff has already been done and somewhat available, it's all basically for extrapolation purposes anyway. No one is close to playing what the solvers say for preflop PLO and rightly so. Ended up with a top spec Threadripper setup. Now this is me trying to sound like I know what I'm on about but I haven't the foggiest tbh and have had someone put it together for me. This means I'll still have to use a server for the really intensive stuff (looking at you O8) but should be able to melt through all post flop PLO and NLHE spots.
Poker has been pretty decent again this month. Beginning of the month was a little testing. Think I ran fairly bad and tilted properly for the first time in a while (I'll come back to this later). Also played the £1k at DTD. Sneaked in via an online sat to Day 2 with 20bb and lasted maybe 10 hands. Didn't fancy an hour drive back home so quick so re entered  and finished about 10 off the money. Stayed for a while after and ran pretty hot in a very good 2/5 PLO game. Got in very bad AAAxxx for £1k pre and flopped the nut flush, held then just won a bunch of smaller pots for a nice win.
Nearing the end of the mixed game coaching I've been having for the last 6 months. Thoroughly enjoyed it and am itching to get out to Vegas next year to make a big run at everything. Motivation to improve is at an all time high and I feel with a solid routine and learning path I can get seriously good by the time June rolls round.

Took a boys trip away to Lisbon last weekend for a few beers and a bit of football. Weather was great, company was superb and we managed to witness Sporting win 5-1 (Bas Dost hat trick as well). Before the game we somehow stumbled into what looked like a Sporting Ultras garage party, with Sagres on tap for €1. We got a few funny looks for speaking English and being dressed head to toe in the club shop merchandise but everyone was super friendly and the atmosphere pre and during the game was fantastic. 

Back to the poker, I seem to have developed a really bad superiority complex over most of the players I play against. Beginning of the month I raged in chat for the first time in years during a few HU sessions vs regs. Chatting shit to regs achieves absolutely nothing other than massaging my own ego, but I just seem to lose it over the most innocuous stuff. I'm pretty sure it's not affecting my actual play to an extent it's a problem but it's just a nobhead thing to do. It reared it's head again during the live session. Caught myself a few times ranting to myself (in my head) about how bad everyone was, why don't they come play me online, how dare he 3bet me with this hand etc etc. It's something I really dislike about myself at the minute and if it's not costing me right now it certainly will in the future. I suspect it may just end up with me ego tripping a very good reg and getting smashed for a lot but it might be what I need.

That Tea Act seems pretty silly in hindsight.

Gotta be some old school pundit. I can hear it in Harry Redknapp's voice for some reason.

James- Tomorrow

Public Enemy- Harder than you think

Not sure if this is the right thread but pretty cool to get a visualisation of how big the solar system is.
