Road to being a pro

[vegaslover]

My breakfast for the last month has been two 35p energy drinks and some jaffa cakes.

You'd struggle to do worse than me on that front. Can anyone really be arsed to knock up an omelette at 7am though? I have to use insane amounts of willpower to get the toaster out.

It's not the cooking, it's the bloody washing up afterwards that's a pain in the ass 

[KingPush]

Been going well online recently. Computer broke down yesterday though and then it took 3 hours to get windows 10. I hadn't played all day and so I ventured into a poker room for the first time in a while. Cliffs; I still run terribly in a casino, I still don't really get live poker, I sold my lighter for a tenner.

Not sure if I'm gonna be playing that much over the weekend gonna take a few punts over the football though. Probably on villa and Charlton. Shame van gaal has turned united into such a turgid team. Even though I hated Ferguson at least his sides were entertaining.

[KingPush]

Decent day lads

[rfgqqabc]

Looks good mate. Please make any punts miniscule. You know how hard it is to get it. Got to do your best to hold onto it.

Did 8 quid on villa, nothing major. Punted a bit on alcohol/food instead though but you've got to enjoy it otherwise what's the point?

Played badly yesterday was up a bit and then lost this hand

Even though everything completes don't think I can fold, may even be a shove on the river.

Felt like my brain was working at half speed. Lack of sleep, too much alcohol, no real exercise all probably contributed. Only lost a buy in but just didn't feel right and was playing on through it which is always a terrible idea.

[KingPush]

Went well today, gonna be shotting 1/2 tomorrow, possibly late tonight. Trying not to over think it. Never played it before online but played it a few times live so it may take a bit of time getting used to it.

Had kk v aa and in general just didn't win many pots in my short stay at 1/2. Ran hot at .5/1 but didn't play that well either. Think going straight from studying hard to playing is almost always a mistake. My brain is trying to figure things out too much rather than just doing it.

Haven't updated in a while. Didn't play for a bit and then got a cold and didn't play for a while longer. Then I suddenly looked at points and realised I had to make 200 on the last day or I was gonna miss out on $50 fairly unneccessarily.

Results for the month- 16.95bb/100

https://gyazo.com/1924112dde176692236ad6fa978c01cc

Still think there is a lot to work on and I'm still making a lot of mistakes. Not too worried about my 200nl results even though they are worse than my 100nl ones. This is the first time I've played it online so still getting used to the fact there is 25 quid in the middle in every 3bet pot, also haven't run that well, situationally or ev wise. Had a similar situation at 100nl at the start and just kept working until I found it easy. I also managed to have a winning live session the other night which was nice. Some guy who'd never played before decided to dust off two 60 quid bullets in two hands to me. I'd like to play more live but you can't control your own hours and it fucks up anything else you want to do with your life a bit. There's much less available to do when you have breakfast at 5 in the afternoon. Not saying I have reasonable hours now, I really don't, but I can never sleep after the casino so even if I cut it short at 3/4 I'm not getting to sleep till 6/7 then I'm knackered and can't play online for two days.

Planning on doubling my bankroll again next month and so will hopefully be taking shots at 400 and 500nl.

[muckthenuts]

Very nice work.

[KingPush]

Been playing live aot and still don't think I'm very good at it. Just about break even over 3 sessions. Definitely some hands I've played wrong. Concentration is the main issue for me when I play I think. I also get tilted way easier. I just feel the highs and lows way more even though I'm playing for the same amount online.

Played a very small session online yesterday and won a buyin and a half. Probably gonna go back to that for the foreseeable future I think, shit is kind of addictive though. Hourly isn't really comparable so of is kind of stupid to do anything but play online, for me at least.

[KingPush]

Not been happy with my month so far. Just been wasting time playing live basically as your hourly is never going to be great and also pure bubbled 1k the other night which didn't feel great. Spewed off super hard today
