Wouldn't mind seeing Pleno vs JP (Whollyflush)

Not really worth the sacrifice in hourly.

What is this fun you speak of?

We actually played each other very briefly couple of months back.

Yeh I played JP for 10 hands or so, donated a stack in the middle of the hand whilst I realised it was him.

Playing for a couple of hours is obviously just fun and something for the forum. I mean you think me/Cos doing it for the money? Would obv like to play vs you, 4 tables for 1/2 hours would be quite fun.

live pro ftw.

In all seriousness I am in abit of a weird spot with poker.

In live cash I've made 146 bi's in around 30 sessions. I have this style where I play live which seems so different to the other winning players, but it seems to work very well to me.

Online, on a huge downswing at HU, but the games I've played at 6m have been really good and winning decent rate.

I feel liek I can crush 100nl 6max online ridic hard and be a good winner at 200nl if I play less tables and concentrate but I think if I ever want to play full time or take it super seriously then I need to sacrifice a little to learn more. I htink I've learned as much as I can off forums/videos which I have literally dedicated hours every day for the last 3 years. I think to be able to beat the mid stakes I need to invest in coaching/play backed with coaching deal for X amount of hands. I sent an email to a couple of blondes that I think would have the biggest impact on me and that I think are pretty similar to me so we'll see what happens there.

Been playing some tournaments recently too.

Some notable scores were

18th in $320 6max ftops for $5k+ bountys (sigh )
1st in some donkament on tilt for a couple k.
1st in $50 turbo on ipoker
3 finals on stars

Nice to be playing well in tournaments I have also booked coaching from Aaron Lambert to help me with my MTT game and he will be trying to tweak my 15-25bb play which I think may have 1 or 2 leaks.

IRL, I have a girlfriend now.

She's abit older than me (27) but really attractive and intelligent. She has lived all over world (New York, Paris, Brusells (sp)) and is just generally a really nice intelligent girl (woman?).

She also has the most incred dog and its genuinely fun to be around both of them.

I've always been "seeing" people while I was at uni, playing football etc settling down is a little bit weird but I guess I like it.

She also understand poker which is obviously a big +. She helps me when I'm running bad and is my biggest fan when I'm running good.

Won't post pics as she probably wouldn't like that so.

• in before pics or she isnt real

As you may have seen -http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=53688.0 I've taken on my own stable.

I have around 8 guys who will be grinding the micros for me which the opportunity of aggresively moving up the stakes. Most of the guys are grinding 25nl and I can offer them both staking AND sufficient coaching to crush the game.

Matt674 has a sick sharkscope record and I have started him playing 2/3 table SNG's on stars, he has started to crush and will hopefully win battle of the planets. Good luck to him and other Blondes such as DUNK619 who I believe will do very well.

Others who have joined me on this hopefully fun and profitable adventure are people from home who I both trust as people and playersa. Hopeflly by January where alot will change in my lfie I will be in a situation where this possibly -ev investment (for my time I mean not the players) will have turned out to be +ev. I'm not banking on anything though and jsut giving some players a chance to get themselves back on their feet is rewarding enough for me to not regret doing it.
