That will be dual blog/race for Supernova between me and shortchange. Currently both play $30 HuSnG Hypers, both suck at volume, both 1-tabling. If poker were a sport we would definitely count as handicapped.

So here is the deal. Loser will have to visit winner and buy him beer. Lots of it.

My goals for May:
:club: Play 2k games

About me:

Spoiler

I have soo much time, but i keep wasting it. Even with my sucky volume i kinda dont have to find a job, i have no other serious things to do. I just waste my time. I go out, i spend time with girlfriend, i lurk 2p2, watch all kind of tv series. Finally, when my gf is busy, friends at work, no new episodes are out, every post on 2p2 husng section is read i waste my time playing some stupid games i don`t even like or feel addicted to. That is not even worse part. I feel more entertained after session (<3 HU) rather than after other crap i do. I even have "stamina" to pull long work hours (used to work as a chef). But i still dont do it.

I suck at life to. It`s 3rd week i can`t finish reading "easy way to stop smoking". I still didnt clear my walls since NY eve (not sure what happened but coke/vodka/beer is all over them), did clean floor at least. I do no sports, i know that it would be good for poker, life, health, girlfriend would love tho. I could at least work out at home ffs.

My sleeping habits are worse than yours. Trust me, yesterday i told myself: "i`ll go sleep at 2am". Were watching "Burn Notice" till 9:30am, woke up at 5pm and laid in bed till 6:30pm. Thats quite common.

My goals for May:

Heh, just realised it's the first of the month, so seems somewhat appropriate to post monthly goals to start the month, and hopefully a revived blog, off right. So, May Goals:

- Play 200 hours
-Study 30 Hours
- Get better at coaching
-Settle in at 60s
- Be closer to Zilltine in VPPs at the end of the month

Z just wars with regs and crushes. Fo real, redline is legit. Also beer is not puishment, free beer is incentive.

I am 22 years old, from Lithuania. Buying beer is not punishment, we are ~2k km apart. That makes some difficulties.

Great to have you blogging guys and so nice to see people owning and having fun doing it. Inadvertently or not, you set a good example so you're both winners already.

Have fun and run good!

Mal.

I see others post hands in their blogs so i`ll do same

Stacks:
zilltine (SB) (560) 28bb
BB (440) 22bb
post
Blinds: 10/20

Pre-Flop: (30, 2 players) zilltine is SB J♥ 8♣
zilltine raises to 40, BB calls 20

Flop: 3♠ 5♥ 7♠ (80, 2 players)
BB checks, zilltine bets 40, BB calls 40

Turn: Q♥ (160, 2 players)
BB bets 60, zilltine raises to 150, BB folds

Final Pot: 280

zilltine wins 370 (net +140)

BB lost 140

readless vs fish.

I dont expect flop calling range to have lots of overcard floats on this board. Also, even fish is most likely to ch/r 2p on such draw heavy board. So i guess raise is best i can do. With intention to shove 8TJKA OTR

zilltine: 4732 VPP
shortchange: 3331 VPP

If this keep going non of us will make SN. Which is supposed to be half years job. But i can`t help myself, i recently downloaded Shogun 2 and game is amazing. I also had flu to take me off grinding for several days

Current VPP total: 3824

Supernova is looking more and more like a pipe dream at this point for me, I've barely managed any volume at all this month. Finally got a stable internet connection in place now, as such I think it's time to get this turned around, shooting for 150 games/day from here on out, and will try and post daily updates.

You're welcome for the Shogun 2 recommendation btw Z!
