I have atoned for my previous day's sins and recovered nicely today to make back the 7k I lost in my session yesterday morning. Stopped at 160k VPP exactly so not far behind pace after 18 days. It just hit me today that I am only half way to the 300k vpp mark and god damn, it sure has felt like a super long grind so far. Hopefully these next few sessions will fly by and once i hit 250k vpp it should be easy sailing from there because the goal will be so close.
Played a few sick hands today that Ill post in my next blog where I thought there was a 5 percent chance I could have lost less then I did but probably not. Need to sleeps to wake up and do it all over again tomorrow. Who knew having a gf to take care of you while you grind would be so +ev also
Almost to the 700k Milestone too, ship another few K to the account!
Graph is missing a few hundred profit from 3/6 deep tables that dont import for me for some reason
I started filling out with €2.2's to be able to climb up in the leaderboard (it's €1-€5 levels). Right now I'm at 7th place, but if I keep this up I should be able to get the 4th spot for €500.
I'm quite busy in life right now so I don't really much spare time for blogging. I apologize for the low quality around here lately. It will get better within a week or so.
It seems like I'll have to postpone my Japan trip a bit. Next month I'll be looking for playing mostly €11's, with a much better deal. If I just put in enough games I should be able to stay abroad for quite a long time. Hopefully long enough to be able to avoid most of the winter here in Sweden. I'm so not looking forward to another 2 months of -20C....
so last night its a friends birthday and theres a pub quiz on, good excuse for a piss up. we drank lots while the quiz was on, and we won . first prize was a £50 bar tab, by this point there is only 5 of us left, so we just spend it on a few beers a few shots and what not.
I live in a town and pubs shut at 12, but asda is open 24 hours, so we go there to get some more alcohol. we storm about in asda behaving drunk and obnoxious as to be expected, get some alcohol and leave.
At this point i jump in a trolley and get my mate to push me about, its all a bit hazy now but somehow the trolley has gone straight into a empty trolley bay, i smashed straight through see through plastic and crashed my face into a pole, could lose my 4 front teeth at the top. i look like a hill billy :x Will i get in trouble for smashing a trolley bay? got a friend of a friend to drive me to a hospital 90 minutes car journey away. I feel a bit guilty making her drive all that way at 1 in the morning, i shudda just got a taxi.
past week i ran good in some mtts, was really happy with my play came 7th in warm up for 19.5k, 11th in 55 rebuy losing a race for chip lead, 2nd in a 5$ rebuy for 3k and 2nd in 109 rebuy for $13k.
Thats basically all ive won this year about $34k + 16k$ bonuses on stars and most of it came from my run good last week. won some money on some various other sites.
if anyne can swap 1500 of my stars for 1500 on full tilt, pm me grateful to anyone that can help.
So I've been struggling a lot for the last 2 months or so, and even strayed away from playing my normal loose game to mass tabling nitting it up playing 14/11 or so. That didn't work so I did a lot of studying on trends of bigger winners and stuff.
October 17th is when I made these applications, and I'm on the first solid winning streak I've had in two months. I'll post a graph at the end of the month and I think there will be a noticeable difference.
Obviously there isn't much you can conclude from a sample of say 60k hands which is what I'll have, but there are specific spots you can filter out that actually converge very fast. I've also been doing a little bit of Holdem Manager analysis and there is noticeable difference in redline and such in my play as well. It seems previous very consistent trends in my postflop and preflop play have made big shifts.
Might be a pre-mature claim but I think I may have upped my winrate by at least 2ptbb.
My low peak was this month was -20bi or so, and I am predicting by the end of the month my graph will look like a giant checkmark. Keep me accountable on this!

300 chips 6max sng experimentby Seobombisgay, October 18
i mentioned before that I would try out the 300 chip 6max sngs and im pretty happy i did. my hourly $ is much higher there since i can play 10+ tables so i made my decision to become a 6max grinda. To get comfortable with the 6max dynamics, i started off at the 20s-35s. i'm going to continue to do so until end of oct and im gonna start taking shots all the way up to 65s. treat me well november, plz.
Idk what the fuck runs threw my mind sometimes and why the fuck I play like a fucking moron. Whatever I run bad when I lose this but I also play like a fucking idiot. I already know this will result in me losing a ridiculous amount of money and yet I play like an idiot. I know I should stop down at a certain point yet I act like an irresponsible fucking moron. How is it possible I can be such a sick grinder yet such a fucking idiot at the same time is beyond me. You would think after the 25th time I would learn yet learn I never do.
First session of the day I play pretty well, make a few K. Next session I luckbox my way to up a few dollars after being down 3k+. Last session I play similar style to second session and things do not go my way, ggggggggggggggggggg money
So today I mixed up time of my lecture on International Business. I was mildly surprised that there was a different lecturer, but that stuff happens. I took my usual place in front of the projector with 400 people behind me.
To my surprise the lecture was not on Business Ethics, but on urine and stool collection for nursery students. But what the hell, I was there and its never bad to learn something new, here are my notes on highlights of the lecture
Taking sample from babies
a) insert cotton wool into a nappie, wait for elimination of orine and squeeze the specimen into a tube afterwards.
b) Wait with a box, and when the baby looks like its ready, quickly put the box under it.
FOBFaecal occult blood - Get a container with a little spoon, collect the stool sample, use the spoon to put sample on a piece of paper and analyse.
Elimination
-Vital function of every human and absence of it can be serious
Funny story: The lecturer once encountered a patient that was constipated so hard he vommited constantly, and his vomit was essentially pure fecal matter.
Flip Video Tips and The tips to Flip Video Cameraby panamadany, October 18
Many of you might have owned flip videos for a while, but there are still some flip video tips that you don’t know yet. The following are some flip video tips we would like to share:
Tip 1: Make sure you speak closer to the Flip Video when you do the shooting if you are also recording your voice. Try to shoot in not very noisy surroundings. If you do, you will have to expect your own voice to be drowned out by the noisy background.
Tip 2: If you want to get a clear video of what you are shooting, try to shoot closer to the subject. You can use the Zoom function to zoom in for a better shot.
Tip 3: Hold the flip video steady when you shoot your video and try to avoid jerky movements.
Tip 4: When you shoot in the sunlight, make sure the light is on your back and do not face the lens to the sunlight. Having a lot of light is necessary while you are shooting, otherwise, your flip videos may look grainy and blurry.
Tip 5: Although a tripod helps a lot when you want to make steady videos (for example interview videos), but when you don’t have a tripod, you can set your flip camera on a flat surface. If you have to use your hand, make sure you hold your arms close to your rips to stabilize the Flip Video.
Tip 6: Remember you can recharge your flip videos on your computer. If you travel very often with your flip videos, you can get a Flip Video Power Adapter and keep your flip video charge at all times.
Tip 7: You can use a Flip Video converter to convert flip videos to iPod, iPhone or iMovie etc. to put your flip videos on mobile players and you can also make easy flip video editing with some editing tools to edit your flip videos.
