Finished grinding at 7am last night and Regged the 265ko at 4pm today and ended up chopping it hu for around 6k or so. Had few other good cashes, lost ak v qq in 100r for heaps vs probirs with 12 left but it's fine, good profitable day and still really happy with Sunday.

Decided to take on probably the biggest action I've ever taken before. Betting vs probably the best 50 or so tournament players in the world on wcoop (check other thread I made for more details) with timex, Ivey, mercier, selbst and many more already confirmed and booked against me.

Going to spend the next week getting in absolutely tip top shape mentally and crush wcoop so hard. Decided to take my friends away as a present after wcoop for an all expenses paid trip to apologise for missing Rome and hopefully celebrate a good wcoop and ept london.  I'm happy with the decision and will be able to invite 5-10 others who couldn't get the time off work anyway.

100% wcoop, plenty of time to holiday later. If u knew this holiday was set why did u not ask your friends to change the month??

Think you put too much into poker to take breaks on the 3 biggest weeks of the online calendar.

Not even about the money, more the sense of achievement to get that elusive wcoop win IMO.

Win the main and take them all on a weekend to Amsterdam, problem solved.

P.s can we have some pictures of the finest fillet steak please!

 Cheesy

what is funny?

I just laughed because you pretty much said the opposite of everyone else, and the true degen answer.  Grin.

I wasn't thinking along the degen lines tbh.

There are many words used to describe poker one of which is a job. Obviously it gives you freedom, but these are not just "any kind of tournaments". This is a series of tournaments put on once a year and for people that play it as a job it is a must play.

Ronnie O'sullivan doesn't go "oh I'll miss the world championships because  "there is always next year".He has enough money he could do anything he wanted?

There are plenty of other months in the year to go out with friends go on holiday's etc, sometimes if you want it that bad you make a sacrifice that's all I'm saying.

Very good/healthy.

I'll probably come home this year for Xmas. Going to pca then moving to Australia for 2 months I think. Ben (neverscaredb) and European going to come I think and trying to convince Adam.

There's Aussie millions and then there is a huge ANZPT in Perth.

Fuck bacon.


I did have my first ever subway around 2 weeks ago and have been back a lot since.

You really need to get out more haha. Meatball mariana for me alllll the way, everyday!

Lived in Sydney for a few months, really was fantastic.   There was a pub there that did steak dinners, you got a great big fat steak with the smallest jacket potato you ever saw.  Pleno would be in his element.

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

Very fun draft today with some sickos. We decided to bet $2k per team and there was Bryn Kenney, Timex, Shane Gamble, Jono Karamalikis, Craig McCorkell, Pistons and a few others.

We all got $50 to spend, the maximum we could spend on one player was $48 and we would end up with 3 players each.

Timex was predictably the first person that was auctioned for and it just worked that we'd just all shout out a name when we wanted to bet on a player so for example I say "Moorman" everybody can say "out" or start bidding 2,3,4 etc, it gets interesting after the first round of picks as predictably people go really big for the big guys with timex/Bryn goigg for the max.

I always wanted myself, European and Sam Phillips (buckguy2200 who just won ept Barcelona) I knew I would go cheaply and imagined with these guys id get myself for 1 so I was leaving myself till last.

Unfortunately I was around the 15th name called out initially by timex with $7 the maximum he had left after paying lots really early and then Firaldo at 18 which was his maximum, I went to 19 and nobody re-bid so I was a little sad that I'd spent so much more than expectation.

Prat then said dan smith and I said 2, everybody snap said out and I realised he must not be playing this year, Henrik down how bid 3 and we had a huge let off.

I was next up and said Sam Phillips, I got a bunch of who's and lols which I felt weird as Sam is really good and v well respected and just won barca ffs Cheesy anyway that was definitely the steal of the whole draft IMO. Somebody opened European at 1 I had 30 left and it doesn't matter how much you left after so just said snap 30 and most didn't have enough to outbid me as we were late in the draft and I finished with A solid team IMO. All three of us will play every event, were all in good form and were grinders unlike a bunch of the people drafted.

Here is the whole draft for anybody interested:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1f4ogtki6KS6kZvchUjEhztPX7I2b17e6Qzteu2A7og4/edit#gid=Chris

Tomorrow we do another 2k draft and we will do 5 man teams this time with a snake order instead of auction.

I got robbed afterwards tonight, nothing too serious but will go to the police tomorrow probably. Don't worry mum if you're reading, I'm fine! Explain it in another post.

Also put a post up selling for some of the higher buy ins for wcoop, I think it's sold out now, looking forward to literally grinding every day for 3 weeks and really testing myself. Going to be such a great month, really got to remember that it's a marathon and not a sprint. So many guys will be tilted/stuck:tired after 15
Days.
