Getting jacks in pre on sky in most circumstances is usually a bad idea, hardly anyone bluffs enough or is ever tens for value. An example of an exploitative adjustment to make when playing vs most of the players on there.

only get it in v the button or the blinds

Up to 440 but withdrew 20 as not playing for a couple of days and going to see the trouble and strife. Playing really well at the moment, still need to work and get more comfortable about how my cbet flop range looks though.

Gonna shot 50nl when I get back, also be interesting to see how much I get in rakeback this month since I was getting comfortably 250/300 mass tabling.

Up to 620. Can't remember winning any amazing well played pots just people calling off too light or bluffing too wide when I have something at the top of my calling range or raising range. Did manage to run aces into k3o on 8233 when he opened then called in the co. Fair to say I didn't leave when me and him were the only ones left at the table.

People overbet bluffing at 50nl, I told you it happened! Even if it is once in a blue moon.

Annoyingly sky are no longer doing rakeback deals with affiliates so as long as I can maintain some sort of decent win rate somewhere it no longer makes sense for me to play there.

Now playing on party. Never played on it before but software seems decent and it feels strange to have a HUD back. Lost half a buy in yesterday but made some mistakes and also went on a big zoom/rush/? Binge. I know my win rate will never be massive in those games but holy shit they are too fucking fun. Currently playing 100nl but will drop down when I need to pay my rent unless I go on a run.

You ready with a staking deal and a mattress from a futon in your office if it goes wrong?

Won a couple of buy ins today. Got lucky for both of my big pots. Aa v 98 and a7(?) On 98x came t then t. And had kk v 77 on kx7 when I checked flop and then he xd turn but we still managed to get it all in.

3 things I've learned while doing this spin up. I fucking love winning at poker, I love making what I know or at least think is the right play and I hate not knowing what the right play is. Girlfriend's gone back to Ireland for a week so gonna put in the hours and see if we can get to 200nl by the end of next week.

Worst I've played for a while. Just wasn't feeling it all day, probably something to do with the shit breakfast I had. Also did some really theoretical stuff when I woke up and then went in to play. Don't think this is a good idea as I can't really concentrate on playing in the moment as I'm over thinking everything and making massive changes to my game plan which is never a good idea. Think poker is  large amount of having the confidence to execute your game plan even if theoretically it could be -EV, how many times do we know we should shove or not better and yet still do the opposite? Also set myself a monetary goal for the day which in retrospect was a fairly stupid idea.

Withdrew and paid the rent and can still just about play 100nl, need to play a lot better than I did today though to stay there.

What did you have??? Cheesy

I played you around a month ago at 2p4p, it's some going to be eyeing up 200nl this quickly.

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.

Yeah not gonna beat that. Although if you have enough Jaffa cakes the orange bit should probably count as one of your 5 a day, right?
