I don't know about this.  I heard OP once fell into a barrel of tits and came up sucking his thumb.

ty for all the well wishes <3

Expected to complete 15 hours of work per week, so might even have a little space to grind here and there which also works out nicely.

Day 2 and Job Brags

Just 2 days into the job, and already I am really enjoying it. The peers I work with are extremely supporting and take on board everything I say in regards to potential changes to be made. Really hope to impress at the end of 1/2 months, but taking each day as it comes.

On the poker front, still playing a bit online. Ran pretty bad bricking the world after finding a decent Sunday, lost some crucial pots deep in tourneys, but plenty more of those to hit me I'm sure. I'm too used to running pure. Whilst on the topic of running pure, I flicked it in for Day 1 of the Big Game tonight. Managed to find 109,500 (t9,500 profit) saving £440 in the process. Really interesting dynamic with deep stacks playing it as a satellite, short stacks trying to find the double towards the end of play, despite it being so far away from any monetary return.

Look forward to being back at the Mecca on Sunday having not played there for a few weeks.

Standard Sundays

I swear Sundays always follow the same routine. There are four specific stages that every single Sunday must follow:

Stage 1 - The Hype

The day always starts so nicely. You are busy regging for a long day, and see all of the extra tournaments available. Surely one of them will result in a deep run. I have high morale, big dreams and most of all a determination to turn it into a winning day.

Stage 2 - The Run Bad

It starts off OK. "well we lost that one, plenty more to come. Oh another cooler, no biggy, lets gogogogo. Oh he has Aces again, marv...". Yesterday I seemed to be getting coolered everywhere. KK<AA 5 times in total, as well as the odd QQ<KK and AK<KK. Reaaaaally frustrating to run bad on the day that every man and his dog is having a punt at the Sunday tournaments on Stars. I know there are weak spots everywhere but can't seem to find them.

Stage 3 - The Dream

I've ran bad in absolutely everything with morale at an all time low, and frankly look forward to getting Sunday out the way and busting the 3 remaining tables left on my monitor. There's one, yep there's another. But then there is always one tournament where we have a hope, something could happen. Sunday has done this to me far too many times. But this time it's going to happen. 200 left of the Sunday Storm, chunks up top. Maybe we can get there and convert. People still 3x'ing pre UTG then have to call off with A5os when a shorty rejams. This is an absolute dream, we can make this. Oh... wait... Nope. Out in 133rd. Hopes and dreams have been crushed, just like last Sunday, the one before that and the one before that, just when we thought we could crack this Sunday malarkey. But it's a deep run, time to check how much profit we've made on the day...

Stage 4 - The Rubs

As you check your pokerstars account balance you have completely forgot about how many tournaments you registered before. The schedule in your mind seems to have merged with your midweek schedule, which is at about half the price of buy-ins. This makes you realise why you have made a $5 loss on the day. Another losing Sunday. There's always next week...

So true! Just found this, so will be reading more

Congrats on the job - I had wondered why you were sending me PP Mag stuff on FB lol

Haha good to have you on board

And thanks, had a few others confused as to why I was inviting them

Haha can roughly remember the hand. Think it happens a little too often to be honest. As mentioned previously, I run too pure!

Big Game Binkage?

Sunday saw Day 2 of the Big Game arrive. I was pretty hyped and had promised myself not to attempt to run over the table, play fewer pots.

Thankfully it was something I stuck by, or at least for the majority of the tournament. I (presume I) was chipleader with about 35 remaining, with 30 paid. 3 losing flips later as well as a failed 3 barrel bluff where the guy rivers two pair I busted in 25th, a little annoying but gotta win those flips. Think it actually may be my first ever mincash, hope to stay away from them. Really enjoyed the weekend, socialised with a lot of players and don't think I endured a single awkward break as I usually do

Had considered playing the Genting Grand Final but instead punted on an Xbox One. I'm not really much of a gamer but I'm a huge Windows fan, so I couldn't resist. felt like sacrificing one tournament would be OK for something I would use for years to come, even though it will probably result in me sacrificing a lot more days than just a 3 day MTT.
