Running ok so far. Stopped to bluff cauz it was just pure -ev. Even though i could see SOOO many fish everywhere but i can't make them fold when i don't really have a made hand. Serves me right.

- Live :
Nothing interesting really, played a lot more tennis than usual, i think i've more or less the same level as raszi. Tbh it's hard to judge because every country has their own rank system. Played my first match of the year and lost already, 3 sets. Didn't really like the way it's been played, even though i won the 2nd set, it was my worst set of the match because i didn't find it fun to play "safe and let him do unforced errors".

Still seeking a GF, hard to find someone who would be willing to understand ur handicap (i'm deaf) blablabla. I could join a deaf community, but i've been raised differently and now it's really hard to "join" because they are sometimes in their own world, and i don't want to talk with only deaf ppl. It's hard to explain. Whatever.

Poker wise, i've played my first "real" poker with real ppl (except obv with friends) and i've been running really good so far. The structure is like 20$ for 10 000 play money chips. Each wednesdays you start with 1000 chips with 5/10 blinds and the goal is to get the most (obv) by the end of the year. You can rebuy 1000$ chips only twice per night (to avoid allin on every hands)
Played 2 times : first i got to 5850 chips. It was my very first time playing with unknown ppl and my hands were shaking a little. It was pretty fun and a good experience.
2nd : got to 10 000 chips or 9960 exactly. It was huge because there were only 30 ppl playing 3 tables so 10k is like crushing half of them and all in only 3 hours. Made some sick call, like JJ vs TT on a 53823 3 colors board where i spotted some weakness not only because of his betting ways but also because he was somewhat hesitating whenever i 3betted him. And when he went allin on the river, i knew exactly that i was ahead and then won 5000 chips.

I don't know, maybe that's because i'm really deaf and thus i'm observing ppl a lot about their betting patterns and tells and everything, but maybe i should try to take a shot a some live casino ?
I think i'll try it once i get a more healthier bankroll.

Ok that's about it for now. Hope you enjoyed it !
Untill then !
