There's 2M pesos to be made, and limited time, so best get to it!

What's your progress on that like anyway?

Hmmm. Honestly, we have a long way to go I think.

Some of us arent putting in enough volume anymore ;) Yes, I am one of the! But I feel like I have good enough reasons, such as having met a rly nice guy (read: hottt), having had a previous good month, still doing ok this month, not having more than a few weeks left in this amazing place before having to go back home to old dull Sweden.

Before I know it I will be back in Sweden, with not much else to do but grind poker. So I want to try to make the most of my stay here :) That, ofc, doesnt mean I wont be playing any poker at all ;)

I peeked at my july-graph today. I knew for sure I was gonna be below EV because them damn fish kept hitting rivers when I got my money in good Just had no idea where my actual line would be at.

Still a good start to the month!

Oh and I've started coaching recently, and I really enjoy it! I've had a few sessions with my one and so far only student :heart: it brings back alot of fun to poker :) I'm sure I will end up learning tons in the end too. :f_love:

end rant. time to go to bed after a sunny and funny (haha! lol thats so bad i even laughed out loud) day at the resort with all the awesome ppl from the house and their +1s!

FFS! I was brushing my teeth getting ready to turn everything off and go to sleep and this god damn animal who's building a home on our roof or something starts scratching around again?! :rage: :rage: Why does it have to be in the evenings and mornings? :(

It's making rly loud noises and it's woken me up 3 times by now. ?( Gotta remember to call someone about it tomorrow...

Yeah, of course.

You should make the most of your time in paradise, before it runs out!

I personally try not to show EV, almost ever, when checking giraffes.

Either I am under EV; and feel like I'm getting raped by the rivers, or I'm over EV, and I feel like I'm playing horribly... I might have some mindset issues there.. I feel good enough by almost never checking EV though, so avoiding the issues caused by it. :)

Yeah, looks like a solid enough start to the month, keep shipping, and enjoying time!

I spent some time thinking today, and whilst I wont really elaborate what I came down to was that I need to make another attempt to put in consistent volume and increase my volume.

Thats why Ive decided I'm going to take on a punishment-bet for the week that starts tomorrow (monday). Avg of 5h/day on 6/7 days = 30 hours of playingtime.

What I need help with, is coming up with a good punishment if I dont make it. :)

So, let the imagination flow! :f_biggrin:

A money bet always works nice :) (motivation wise)

Or if you don't make it you have to buy dinner+lunch for everyone @ the house for 1 week? Something like that

Or punish yourself by something you hate doing (for me thats cleaning )

If you choose this punishment I guarantee you will either a) succeed or b) go crazy.

It's simple: failure = shaved head.

:O Manu! Thats probably the best idea ever!

But Vonki maybe there is something nice you were planning to do/buy after your trip? If you don't make it you're not allowed to buy/do that something?

$0.50/$1 No Limit Holdem
10 Players
Hand Conversion Powered by weaktight.com

Stacks:
UTG ($32.38) 32bb
UTG+1 ($111.65) 112bb
UTG+2 ($100) 100bb
MP1 ($104.65) 105bb
MP2 ($102.15) 102bb
MP3 ($50.88) 51bb
CO ($169.33) 169bb
BTN ($63.51) 64bb
SB ($24.58) 25bb
Hero (BB) ($127.83) 128bb

Pre-Flop: ($1.50, 10 players) Hero is BB Q♥ Q♣
5 folds, MP3 raises to $2.62, 3 folds, Hero calls $1.62

Flop: 4♠ 2♠ J♣ ($5.74, 2 players)
Hero checks, MP3 bets $2.87, Hero folds

Final Pot: $8.61

MP3 wins $8.33 (net +$2.84)

Hero lost $2.62

At first I was like weee QQ in LP vs a 40/x fish!!!! But when I take a closer look at his stats, I see that he's 40/1 over a 1,2k sample, with 0% ATS with CO % BU each being 1% PFR (fwiw KK+=0,9%). I guess you can argue the sample is too small? but come on, no stealattempt at all in 1,2k hands? (as im typing this, handcount is up to 1,3k and still 0 )

setmine and c/f ftw :f_p:

It looks pretty straightforward to me, 1.2 k hands and 1 PFR is solid proof imo.

What were the guys for the all in preflop having as arguments ? :f_confused:

If money was a huge motivator for me id be grinding a ton already :P unf its not

There's also nothing I'd planned on buying/doing. Im not a very materialistic person so I usually just buy the stuff I need.

So far, Manu's suggestion is simply the best. Though my hair is one thing I dont take lightly :P I mean yes, it would probably end up with me not failing the volume bet, but its one of the things im just not willing to even risk.

@DeMarco: Wrote it somewhere back there too. :)

Well we still have a week left ;(

Sweet result Robin!

Not being only B/e, but catching up from the horrible swing you were having.

Well, I'm the first to leave and today's my last full day in the house. I leave tomorrow for Manila and will spend a couple days back at the Hyatt Hotel & Casino before the big long flight back over the Pacific.

I've been pretty terrible at updating my own results, mostly because they've been awful. Lots of reasons why, and I'm going to post either tomorrow or the day after my full thoughts on the trip from both a poker perspective and a personal perspective.

It's been a lot of fun here in Cebu, but I am definitely missing home and looking forward to going back to Winnpeg this week. For now, I'm ordering McD's breakfast to the house for one last time (they don't deliver at home!) and then a day of packing. _cool:
