Hi ,following this blog,i'm playing 3.5$ too here's my graph so far
,yesterday had big downswing...
Excellent coaching again with Tim64!
Finally managed a sweat session where he found a few spots that needed addressing. Hopefully I haven't scared him off with my fishy style ♦
Will be taking part in the MM Main Event tonight so some family time before then ![]()
Run awesome,
Gary
Have all my staking money back now, Alex finished his package last night and was very unlucky not the ship a nice profit. Just a small loss in the end.
So with that I now have 50 BI for the $7s games. However, I've only amassed a 157 game sample between the $1-3.5s and I'm still very much in my development stage so there will be no $7s in the coming weeks and days. I feel that I'd get eaten alive up there! ♦
EDIT: I may play mix in a $7 game in my sets just to see if there is much of a skill difference

This week, I am on holidays from work so from today until Thursday will be my only time for Poker.
Going to a stag from Thursday to Sunday so will be afk for that entire time. Not going to bother with weekly goals now
Monthly goals should suffice as long as I maintain some study time with my play.
Big session planned for later this evening!

Payback is a bitch!
How I felt afterwards?
Spoiler

Fairly big session last night, had 18 games in 3 sets of 6. Broke even playing 4 $3.5s and 2 $7s in each set.
Can't see a huge difference between the $3.5s and the $7s but obviously need a bigger sample ♦
Had a number of coolers and I think for the sake of it I will revert back to 5+1 just to be more comfortable with my bankroll.
A couple of more bad sessions and its back down to the $3.50s with my tail firmly between my legs!
Convinced myself I was in perfect shape to play this afternoon. So I opened 5 $3.50s and a $7, just after I had been knocked out of the last I closed the laptop down and put my head down for a moment... next thing it was 40 minutes later......
6 games this morning and I'm back on track! The -EV pushes are working a treat at the minute. Something that I had never considered before.
Volume is my no 1 goal this week but I'm failing
Away for 3 days now, glad to get a break from Poker atm, been playing like a robot and hope to snap out of it on my return.
One year as a PS Moderator today! It's insane how FAST this year has gone!
Here's to the next 12 months!
congratz on your year with ps ♦
a break from time to time is very good.you will gain more motivation to crush the tables ![]()
have a good time in those 3 days!

Time for Day 2!
We talked about this... NO FORUMS!
GARYY!!! why am i just finding this now, ops ![]()
good luck in the $7s, and in the KK hand i would just fold it pre tbh, for 2 main reasons which are kinda the same with each other
1. You ve just moved up limits, stars is rigged and KK will never hold up
2. Stars is rigged
Survived the weekend but for now I am extending my break from the digital felt until I get my bearings back in order
Just back from honeymoon so I'll have to miss this Roo
Will post a gi-nor-mos update in the coming days and maybe include a trip report as Richard loves them
