oh and congrats on the poker in general
just to get in the action do you play games consoles outside poker? If so what's your favorite game? what's your favorite moment in poker?
ha thanks
Never really been much of a gamer but recently (christmas) bought an Xbox One. Literally only have Forza and Fifa, more of a sports fan than a shoot em/beat em up fan (although eagerly waiting for GTA to be released on there).
Unsure on my favourite moment in poker. Don't think I really have one tbh. Saying that I absolutely love this moment from the 2013 WSOP where he looks abso crushed as the river is dealt. Bit evil/bitter but we've all been there, sums up poker ideally. No relation to me btw

Trending Thursdays
Had a review on Thursday as standard, went down really nicely. Reviewed the painful Big $22 which was surprisingly painless. Played pretty well in general with the exception of a couple of spots where I was sat out, but its still early for me in regards to being comfy grinding all the software. It's interesting just how interesting they are, for example, bb is 17k, someones opened to 34k. I've made it 81k and he tells me he makes it much smaller than that, its too far off, ask for his amount and he says "probably 79,200". Seems a minute difference from a 1milly stack but its those little differences that seperate the top regs from the best regs.
They then introduced me to a specific spot that as described "I have to have in my game". Won't go completely into it, but because it's so difficult to balance (i.e. you do it 90% of times with weak hands, 10% with strong value hands) then as soon people latch on to it, which they probably will within the next week or two, the trend will completely die out. It's mad to think online trends in the game can literally be super profitable one week, -EV the next.
I felt like I deserved a night off having reviewed, spending time on my HUD and stuff like that.
Friday Night Heat
Tonight has been pretty unreal. Decided to reduce my schedule due to needing to be up bright and early tomorrow morning to hit the lights and glitz of Stoke. Loaded up probs 10-15 comps, after doing my balls on 888 the past couple of weeks I found all the run good.
Managed to ship the $24 5k GTD for $1.7k where I had the majority of the chips 6 handed. Then finished 3rd in a $22 4k GTD for $500 where I somehow found a ladder from 5th to 4th to 3rd, with people deciding to do their brains when deep.
May not be able to grind Sunday if something decent happens in Stoke so hopefully keeps the backers happy. Worked out I am +$7,000 on the bankroll over 11 sessions, they've agreed to move me up marginally to a couple of specials on 888 as well as an additional $26 MTT on tilt.

Who are you reviewing your hands with? Do you play the same set of tournaments each session? And what poker steroids are you on to keep winning like this?

guy called tedstretch on stars and his financial partner who is also a sicko:
http://www.sharkscope.com/#Player-Statistics//networks/FullTilt/players/tedSTRETCH
Errrr play mostly a same set of tourneys, avoid turbos and there are some key mtt's with all the value. The bigger the guarantee the better, I pretty much play the biggest guarantees for my buyin range for each piece of software (i.e. I wouldnt play a $22 12k on stars, but would play a $22 4k on 888 as its their top end guarantee. Too many regs in the 12k as well as fields being too large to do battle with variance profitably consistently).
Ha I don't even drink Red Bull or anything like that. Have a full meat and two veg every day halfway through the grind, finding eating spots is much tougher than finding hand spots.

What site do you think is the softest and which one do you prefer the most? (Not including stars). Also, on 888 you said you're going to start playing some of the specials, are these the ones that have weather related names like the monsoon etc?

Tough to say, think it's too early to determine. They are all pretty soft apart from Stars, with FT being the next toughest. recs galore on ipoker, 888 and party if the software decides to work for you. Hadn't realised just how tough Stars is, I'm at a stage where in any huge field its typical for me to recognise 3 of the players at my table.
