The Best In The Business

[pleno1]

Last week or so has been pretty busy. Decided to move in to a house where I'll rent the spare room out to different grinders over the year. First up is my French friend Ben that I've knkwn for years and is a great guy. He will live for a couple of months, especially nice as WCOOP is on and will be fun to grind with somebody. I trust him and he's a good guy so nice person to live with. Will try to move different people in over the year perhaps, let's see how it goes.

Anyway the place is great and in an amazing location. I agree a deal where we get a discount if I lay all the rent in advance and 2 mknths deposit. So fix 20k+$ cash in hand. Couple days later he tells us no more flat for us and I swear I haven't been as tilted in years haha, it was so infuriating. Everywhere I looked i would compare to this place and nowhere was as nice. Eventually after many emails (I told Ingrid to email him and tell him I'm a dangerous guy haha - I don't think she actually did but who knows) he messaged me saying we could have it again. So finally that's fixed.

Online poker has been decent. Stable been doing Amazon, big shout out to jonaj10, I think he's not only the best mid stakes Reg on stars right now but I'd say he's a top top reg no matter what. He came 3rd in 109r for 25k and had lots and lots of amazing runs.

Today for our coaching session the guys took the day off and I played 6 tables maximum for the entire session with live commentary. It went really good and although it's tough at times doing both I think I played great. I ended up winning the Fat Tuesday for 15k which is a really tough $500 on full tilt. Made a big big call with bottom pair and a good river call with ten high and was really happy with winning this MTT.

So we now have 6 hours of live footage. No idea if I'll sell it or not, I kinda bad mouth a couple of regs because it was just between my horses and I so would feel bad about that being in the public eye, but I think it would be a great series for somebody to buy. Will do more of these over WCOOP. I've decided I'll never play more than 8 tables anymore, if anybody sees me playing more than 8 tables between now and WCOOP, ill give you $100 free roll just post the screen shot in here

Really happy to have this great momentum after Vegas. It's tough to get back in online grind in summer after a tiring Vegas but I've been putting in 30-40 hour weeks playing and 15-20 hours studying and I'm loving it. It's pretty cringe looking back 6 months ago when I thought I was good but was clearly bad. Hopefully I think the same thing again in 6 months

Im selling for the 50k WCOOP and pretty fkn excited about it. Will sell heaps obviously but I think it's a great MTT for me to play.

I'm not in the target market for 6 hours of BITB action but for sure I would love to see the 'good river call with ten high'

Ha, I have probably ever called with A high less than half a dozen times in my life, never mind 10 high.

I simply can't begin to imagine how these boys do it.

Fair play to them.

Hahaha I've had this before with Ace high. As soon as the hero call idea came into my head it wouldn't leave.

Got a great template email for Ingrid incase you have any problems with this landlord and she needs to email.

'Yo, motherfucker,

Stop messing around with the apartment. I'm connected with some guys not to be messed with.

What was your ah-ha moment regarding deciding to stick to 6-8 tables rather than 12+?

[pleno1]

One of my friends elmerixx who I'm sure is too 5 in the world and has amazing mindset and is very professional told me he did it and explained the benefits.

It sounded so exciting to do it, I did it and don't think I'll ever go back to more than 12 tables.

I basically am not allowed to register a tournament if I have my table spaces full. So sure sometimes I may miss a tournamebr here or there but the edge I have in the tournMents I play will be huge. It lets me basically play high stakes non turbo tournaments and really focus.

I really do think poker is about the people you surround yourself with. Tiny things add up, how your friends prepare for sessions, how they do post session stuff before they sleep, how they deal with mental issues, why they take which days off. All this stuff if somebody is telling you it may seem like really basic stuff but sometimes you just need somebody to prompt you.

It's kind of weird because ive never really been in a uk social circle in regards to poker, always seem to gravitate towards young skandis who are a few years younger than me. Not sure exactly why that is haha.

One of the guys who had a big influence on me was imfromsweden that's when I think I really accelerated in poker. He was basically a young crazy skandi that loved to make people try to fold and we spoke often abit different exploitative lines.

I was thinking a lot about studying and how important (or what I've perhaps analaysed is not actually that important at all) I'm going onto Elliot Roes podcast tonight and will be speaking  about that and lots of different issues.

Will post link here once it's up.

French/Gib/Newcastle Ben?

[pleno1]

French/Gib/Newcastle Ben?

Yes!

He's lived here for 4/5 months now. V good guy.

I met him in Gibraltar when he was on a placement year working for poker strategy as an intern. He had to choose where to spend his last year of education. He could choose London, Paris, anywhere. I convinced him he HAD to go to Newcastle.

Fortunately he loved it!
