haha yeah donating to "followers" might be better than randoms lol, this is a great way to promo my blog :f_thumbsup:

And LOL at suddenly extra posts :coolface:

Well I haven't played any games for the past 3 days, had a review of my final year thesis and it needs some fixing. I'll start grinding tomorrow most likely. It seems my volume/time limit is about 5-6 hrs, I kinda want to grind at least 7 hours, anyone advice how to do this? I usually wake up late. I take break every ~2hrs but for some reason the breaks are longer than they should

Currently sitting around ~1.1k games orso, so its not going to be easy. But... RUNGOOD>>>>>VOLUME EASY. If I rungood fuck the volume lol, I rather throw random $5s instead :f_biggrin:

Thanks for the motivation/challenge guys

Spoiler

As usual won't check the result till end of weekend. Anyway I'm happy about the volume but somewhat unhappy about my play. Some (big) spots I definitely could and should play better, just mehhhhhhhhhhhh got stuck into alot of marginal spots.

Mental game wise I'm unaffected by the bad beats but I hate it when I make mistakes. I need to keep in mind that mistakes are part of the game as well.

EV wise I think today I ran pretty good, won more flips than usual.

Nah, villain's flop turn and river action didn't make sense so was pretty easy call.

How to play with 72 OOP and still win his whole stack.

Spoiler

call call call :f_biggrin:

Edit: after reviewing the hand I guess readless its a bad play but this guy usually min or jam his Ax shallow so either he had the nuts (limptrap or flush) or nothing. So I started off excluding Ax (and most Kx) and on the river it was a crying call since the third diamond came.

Check/raise river is good but please try to represent something :facepalm:

Running horrible again as always. Had a good laugh at this hand, I was waiting the whole day for these villain + spots _biggrin:

^^ Easy call. This hand gave me the needed motivation to continue grinding =)

@viewers out there, do you prefer boom player or old style hand history convert as 'hand replayer'?
