Last night was supposed to be my first night grinding on my own.
As Pleno and I have agreed to end the deal for the moment, with a caviat that he wants first dibs on when I get to 100nl.
Mainly because they have a few horses at that level at the moment and having time to coach me at a different level just isn't going to work, which is fair and we haven't had what we were going to according to the plan this time last year when we began.
It's down to both of us, my job always makes it difficult if im GMT this week, then GMT-5 for the next four and then GMT+8 for a few... etc.
It's been great having him to talk to and sweat. Poker just seems to easy to him.

Anyways, the plan now is one that's been reccommended to me and will take a different tact and a different set of skills to execute correctly.
I will be playing 1 hour sessions at a time - MAX
I will have a stop loss of 2bi's - MAX (minimum time between restart will be 30mins)
I will be playing 50nl initially, looking to move up once we've grown our bankroll significantly and have a reasonable hand sample - $2k/ 20k hands
I will be playing only 2 tables of zoom, beginning with a slightly tighter style than I have recently with the intention of focussing more on individual hands and spending much more time going through hands after a session analysing my range vs their range and working on my theory vs gto vs exploitative in each situation.
I've purchased flopzilla - seems really useful and is only $40
I will still be trying to get in multiple sessions/day where possible but only once enough analysis has been done on previous sessions
The aim is to improve my theoretical understanding of decisions, ranges and how to play 'the streets' and take it to a level where I can still make money when I do well without having the ability to just 'flick in' a bi because its 'only' $10.
Talking much more with a few people about spots and instead of rattling up here just 20 hh's of how our tp either won money or didn't I'll be trying to put up detailed and useful hh's on PHA to utilise the wide range of ideas and knowledge here on blonde.
Think that's it for the poker stuff..
Work wise - didn't get the promotion, tbh i interviewed terribly and felt horrid, didn't deserve it.
Personal life - trying to fix all the little things ive let 'slip' over the last few years, things like my sunglasses needing repair, flat needs x, y or z doing...
Girls - had a fun week where myself and a girlyfriend have decided we're going to formalise our 'thing' and i guess i have a gf again now. Strange part is she seems very similar to me in a few ways.
Health - haven't weighed myself but feeling better and went shopping this week and bought only good foods, so keep that up and combine with a gf = getting fitter and feeling better.
guess that'll do for now, lunch over...
