... and Keep Moving Forward. 2014

Good one as well I wish mine also had just 26BB's instead of 116, though ♦

Good early morning everybody !

Let's ship some tournament !

This is how lucky I am. (I'm glad I managed to wake up this early today, after 3.5 hours of sleep, and LIVE it.)

1st tourney. 83% favorite vs huge fish for tournament life lost.

2nd tourney. 80% favorite vs huge calling station fish for tournament life lost.

3rd tourney. 75% favorite vs another huge calling station fish for tournament life lost.

4th tourney. Another 80% favorite vs huge fishes for tournament life lost. Flopping the relative nuts obviously is not enough for me to win it.

5th tourney. 75% favorite vs maniac fish for tournament life lost.

And played some zoom alongside as well. This is just one OUT OF THREE nice set-ups vs fish today, happening in MINUTES. But can't complain, right.

And another nice hand after a minute vs another fish. Another 88% favorite lost. After this, zoom was being left for today.

And believe it or not, these are NOT ALL hands from these few hours ... I know I asked this question before, but REALLY ....... How MUCH does one man can take ? Seriously? :/ I CAN take one bad beat, I CAN take 2 coolers, I CAN take 3 suckouts in a row, but, man, seriuosly, - SIX in such short amount of time ?? FU.

And this is what I get after being back again from 10 day break. Feeling motivated and ready to work my ass off. And this motivation is just CRUSHED INSTANTLY. Why does it ALWAYS have to start like this ? But it LITERALLY goes ALWAYS like this. I really REALLY start to feel like the unluckiest guy in the world. And it does get annoying. a LOT. god dammit.

Aaauch ..... yeah. one of my favorites these ones.

Ok, boyz and girlz [as TwiceT would say ♦], The Forever Whining Wicked is back ♦ Well "back", meaning, that - at least for a week ♦ Gonna play these few scoop events throughout the week

Really looking forward and HOPING a LOT to boost my BR a bit, just so that I could switch to NL50 !!!!! zoom ... It is MUCH more interesting than NL25 ... Well at least I feel like that, so ... Anyway. Since I'm playing just 7-8 events, so I guess the probability of winning something significant to boost that BR is REALLY TINY TAINY, but ... Whatever, as I say - well SOMEBODY HAS to win all that moneyz, right? So ... Why not me ? ♦ I'd really take being that 'lucky donk fish spewtard', whatever, I don't mind ♦ Just "show me the moneyyyy", as Mike Sexton would say :f_love:

And yeah so today two events are waiting for me: that 27$ 6-max which will start very soon, aaaaand later at night smaller turbo progressive super knockout for 11$

So let's go go go !

Yesterday didn't go very well, but today I've got EVEN TWO my favorite type tourneys - action hour 6-max !! Let's go !!!

Good luck mate, hopefully you'll get some awesome results

Thanks mate, results ALREADY ARE really AWESOME - out from both after 40 minutes and !!! out from BOTH AT THE SAME TIME, literally ♦ ♦ never happened before to me :P

From the $55 out with AK with 3bet shove from btn for 23bb's vs co fish who had QQ this particular time, and board went KxxQx ♦ ♦ ♦

And from the other out with also 3bet shove, for 20bb's this time vs very loose and aggro maniac fish. I had A:s5:s, and he tanked when I shoved, and finally he called off with A:h3:h !!! ♦ and the board went 7:h9:d9:s4:h2:h ♦ ♦ 'story of my life', huh ♦ oh well, maybe next time ♦

Good luck to everyone else still playing ! ♥

Any update on tournaments? Today should be the last tournament.

Any good runs?

So HELLO boyz and girlz ♦

Wicked and his "Task Tables" are back !! ♦ ♦

I've been really a HUGE LAZY and DEPRESSIVE ASS lately, and well ... I guess just "time has come" to put that to an end. So ! I am starting with some sort of "daily schedule" [as well as my Task Table to simply track progress] AGAIN. ♦ Just this time I'm not going to keep fooling myself that "I'm an excellent worker" or smth, that I can "live poker", that I can follow very strict daily schedules and tasks, and so on and so forth - ALL that crap that I can be an ideal worker and poker player. No, no more of this. THIS TIME I'm just gonna start SMALL. And ENJOY THE PROCESS. Enjoy "small daily wins" by actually DOING this or that task. BUT ! since I'm still gonna be "my own boss", meaning "I can do whatever I want and whenever I want", I still think that at least SOME discipline IS actually a good thing. So that being said, "The Goal to aim" will be - to do 3 "perfect" working days per week. And I am NOT gonna "punish" myself in ANY way if I don't manage this goal every week, nor do I'm going to limit myself to JUST 3, if I feel like I can do another one day [let's see if that ever happens, though, lol ♦ ♦ ♦], because THE PURPOSE behind all of this is really simple, as stated above - to Enjoy The Process ! So I'm not going to be sad and "disappointed with myself" if I do just one "perfect" day per week, or even none ! The most important thing will be to enjoy My Life. That is what I'm going to be learning now. And if I do feel that today playing poker or doing some poker task is going to make me happy, then - I'm just gonna do it and ENJOY it ! Hehe ♦ So yeah ... NO MORE strict rules. NO MORE being sad and feeling like shit because I didn't do this or that task today, yesterday, or even for the whole week. NO MORE ! The most important thing is JUST TO ENJOY these things that WILL BE DONE because I WANTED TO.

But yeah, as I said at least some discipline as well as having some more "specific goals" IS actually good imo, so I will still try to aim for these "3 'perfect' working days per week". If that doesn't happen, then it just doesn't happen, oh well, "maybe next week", but still it is nice to have something to look forward to, "TO AIM". So yeah, this is how things are going to be now ! 80% of FUN + 20% of discipline Mixing some tournaments and zoom And I ABSOLUTELY don't care anymore what anyone else would say about this, so don't even bother - NOW I'm doing everything COMPLETELY MY WAY !

So here is how my "Perfect Working Day" would look like now.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11.50: Alarm clock.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And if I DO MANAGE to do 3 of these per week then I really deserve a cookie from myself or smth And if I do 2 of these, well then ... I guess still a cookie :f_biggrin: And if I do 1, well ... Then I guess it's just going to be "a pat on my shoulder", along with some words like "it is still much better than none, so ... be happy !" ♦ Aaaaand if I do NONE of these per week, well then ... No cookie, no pat, but still wicked IS happy, because there must be a reason why he didn't do any "perfect days" - he was too busy ENJOYING LIFE, muahaha ! ♦ ♦ So yeah, as I said - 80% of FUN + 20% of discipline

Let's go go go !

So tournaments today went with a COMPLETELY TERRIBLE "luck" for me, as expected I guess when I start to do something, right ♦ Two nearly ITM bust-outs, one bust-out on a 6max 18man bubble with 77 vs fishes A3o, which he openraised/called off for 14BBs, and the board ran 4K2K5 ♦ also busted with AQ vs AQ ♦ all-in on turn, we both had nut straights, but there was three ♦, and on the river the 4th ♦ came, which made him a flush of course ♦ And a LOT of others VERY CRUEL crushes vs fishes specifically ON THE RIVER CARD of course

So yeah, nice ... ♦ Just when I decide to go back to the Ring again, I just get a KNOCKOUT with a FIRST punch, why not huh ♦ ♦

Ok, so now today there's gonna be a LONG break I guess with some hand posting maybe, maybe a new video (?), dunno yet ... And ZOOM in the evening. Interesting to see HOW THAT will go ... ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ..... ....

Didn't play zoom today after all, because tried some more 6max SnG's and my "luck" there today was still really HORRENDOUS ... No exaggeration here ... Lost ALL [like 5 or 6 ... ] of the 70's & 80's favorite when all-in, so decided that I'm not going to risk zoom going like this as well ... Instead, posted 4 hands from yesterdays session in evaluation for today's TaskTable:

Hand no.1

Hand no.2

Hand no.3

Hand no.4

Hehe, as it turns out to happen - didn't do "very well" this week considering "working-Poker" wise ♦ Here's an awful Task Table for public view and condemnation ♦

Buuuuut ! There's always a "bright side" of things ♦ And now the bright side is, as well as the "reason" why I didn't spend much time on poker, is simply this - I finally have a Girlfriend again !! ♦ ♦ The most amazing Woman EVER, so ... I guess this picture below sums up pretty much everything ♦

So yeah ... I guess I need some time now to "clear/prepare my head for work" But "everything is on its own time" as I like to say So ... I guess we won't see here before long as much "Perfect Working Days" as I'd like but ... In the meantime I'll still be doing at least something from that Task Table, because I WANT TO, hehe So let's go go go !

Hehe, look at this nice hand that I just played in 12man ♦

Hero (BB): 2,642 (8.8 bb)
SB: 15,358 (51.2 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A♦ A♠
SB raises to 15,333 and is all-in, Hero calls 2,317 and is all-in

SB showed 2♠ A♥

Flop: (5,284) 4♠ 2♥ 4♣ (2 players, 2 are all-in)
Turn: (5,284) 4♥ (2 players, 2 are all-in)
River: (5,284) 4♦ (2 players, 2 are all-in)

Results:
Favorite to WIN:
94% on flop
91% on turn
99% !! NINETY-NINE !!! ♦ fckng percent to WINNNN ! ♦ aaaand I still couldn't do that ♦ We just CHOP it. ♦ ♦ We CHOP it, when I am 99% favorite to WINNNN ♦ ♦ ♦ what an AWESOME game that poker is, hehe ♠_biggrin:
