Wow, what a start to this month! If I had to imagine the best case scenario for this month to start off with it would have not even been this great. I was in the f zone pretty much the whole first session and I don't think I ever really lost 2 big pots back to back until like 13k hands into the day. Seemed like everytime I 4bet AAxx, they would miss or I would get it in and hold. Everytime I called a 4bet with a rundown vs AA I would hit. Was my best day ever of poker only counting money made at the tables. Overall I made 42BI (13.5k), I got 1st for the day in the PokerStars grinding Leaderboard for extra 1.5k and I won bet with BallCup, he bet me 1k I couldn't get 1st place one of the days. Add in another 750/800 in fpp value (roughly) and overall not a bad day at all and a dream start. Had a tough time getting to sleep but finaly managed to late last night. My personal assistant/cook/pro helper I guess we can call her came over today and made me some lunch and then chicken/veggies/pasta for dinner, she is sure on top of things and has a really good plan for the month to help me stay fed. Well worth the money imo and probably will deserve a bonus at the end.
I finally woke myself up this afternoon and crawled over to the computer to get started. A part of me really didn't want to play for fear I would end up losing all of it back today and another part of me expected to make another 10k+ today. Eventually I was able to convince myself to get in a mindset where I try to forget about wins/losses and try not to tilt and play my A game. First session felt pretty good and I managed to go for 5 hours without looking how much i was up/down, eventually I caved because I thought I was doing really well and was only up a BI  . After I looked it obviously effected how I was playing and I quit shortly after. The 4b pots weren't falling my way today and my top sets werent holding 90 percent of the time sadly but still did okay. Went to do a quick workout because that always gets me motivated to play poker and then was back at it. I went into reg-ware mode and my 3bet was hovering around 11 percent most of the session, usually it is 5 percent. More 3betting=more variance and session was rocky, finally quit down 4BI and went to dinner with ballcup. Just finished up final session for the day where I started down 4.5k  and finally said stop playing like a fucking idiot and was able to end up a BI. Usually my problems during my session happen when I go 3bet happy, esp OOP and the BTN. When I finally calm the fuck down and start flatting in those spots on the BTN and flatting/folding those spots OOP is when I start winning again. I'm sure most PLO guys are of the notion that 3bet BTN is always +ev but I think for me personally I do better when I flat and play postflop in position with higher stack-pot ratio and also greatly lowers my variance during a long session. I am getting better in 3bet pots but I think its one of the weaker parts of my game right now. In some spots I should prob be cbet/calling it off I instead check back and wait for a safe turn in order to lower my overall variance which might not be +ev as far as overall profit at the tables.
Heres the graph for Day 2 overall, this is how I expect many of my days to end up.
VPP Count= 19k
Pace= 19k

if that is not the stupidest bet anyone has ever made, it is at least top 3
good job |

| Browsing through your hand histories makes me wonder that you might not be aware these games are possibly play money. Have you ever tried to cash out? - Kapol | |

Sick session, well done. What are your results since the beginning of the bet? Are you in the green?
Btw I too am quite anxious to play after I have a monster session, thought it was just my brain trying to fuck with me. Good to see other people have it also |

it was quite amusing making this bet, we were at a friends and they were like I bet you won't get first once, im like ummm yea its going to be SO hard, then he said lets bet on it. At first we agreed upon 500 but the first day I ended up losing a bunch he didn't think I would do it so he said want to make it 1k lol, i was thinking shippppppp it
PTR so weird lately with its tracking lately but lets see if i can keep that up

Def in the positive counting everything so far but really have no idea how much, been able to pay the rent so I have to be making some money, I was really anxious right after I got done but then after I slept it off that was gone and I was in preserve victory mode, weird how that works |
