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 :)

Done, need to get a little more advanced with my note-taking.

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!

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...... :facepalm:

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 :facepalm:

GARYY!!! why am i just finding this now, ops :f_biggrin:

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 ;)
