On the road to midstakes!

Just do what I do and play a LOT. Eventually you get those green days. ♦

I mean, eventually you do anyway.

Unfortunately putting in big volume has never been my strongest side. My mind works too slow for that

Anyway, I'm already back in the red

Last two days have been pretty epic. I kept loosing at nl500 so I took the obvious decision to go and win it back at nl1k. You know how a lot of people whine about how they run worst at their highest stake right? Well, I 'm not gonna do that. Check this nl1k graph:

So yeah, I managed to win back the losses. Altogether, I'm up a whopping 155$ for the month. I would also like to add that none of the nl1k winnings are due to luck, it's all pure skill!!!!

On another note, my friend Farma was thinking about taking a new Stars avatar. I never had one before and he was so nice to also let me use his new avatar. What do you think about this stunning black/white Peter Jackson?

lol

What's the story?

Bumped it to motivate myself to do an update. And to build suspense

So yeah, update incoming!

I think I mentioned it before in my blog but I started working again on February 3d (was unemployed since half of october). And I have to say that I really really love my job. It's such an amazing feeling to look forward to going back to work on sunday evening. Never had that in my previous job. I am now in sales for a manufacturer of functional food ingredients and I'm responsible for Scandinavia and the Baltics. A challenging job, an interesting company and awesome colleagues, what more do you want!?

My baby daughter is now 7 months old and she is just the cutest. She starts laughing the minute she sees me in the morning and when I get home from work, so heartwarming.

Since I started working, I really didn't think about poker much anymore. I now realise that poker felt like my way out of the shitty job I had before. But now, I don't need a way out of anything anymore.
Since February 1st, I played only 2.8k hands and lost about 800$. Bye bye supernova. I expect to feel motivated again in a few months, that's how it usually goes.

One more thing that's going on in my life: we bought a house couple of months ago and we're doing a few renovations atm and will move by the end of the month. Exciting times

cliffs: Life is awesome!

Reading that even made me happy ♦

Appreciate it!

poker update (omgomgomg):

Spoiler

Played 5min nl1k zoom, won 800$. EZ game ♠_cool:

hahahah degen ♦ Was it doable? +EV?

I saw a guy squeezeshove his whole stack (about 60bb) so that was good. I didn't really check if there were many fishes tbh.

Redbaron was playing so probably not +EV for me unfortunately.

Epic blog! ♦

How could I miss this?

Snap subbed ♦

Please update as often as you can.

Best of luck sir,
Fran

Thanks Fran.

Read a well written blog on 2+2 recently about a guy satelliting into the main event through step SNG's and he made a nice cash. Soooo now I want to do that as well ♦. So I started playing them steps, it's fun but the higher ones nearly don't run.

Also played 50 hands of nl500 today. I moved down from nl1k because I want to stay within my BRM (at least 5BI!). What can I say, ez game obviously... ♠_biggrin:
