UP
Lol, kinda semi gave up on blogging. Have most of my (closest) friends on skype/mobile phone anyway.
Will try to make some posts every month. So far this month running quite bad, as much as I hate it, it further forces me to improve my game which I deff like.

Oh well if anyone is still following, probably (one of) the worse month so far. Anyway, its been fun and frustrating throughout the month. Frustrating because of the runbad/variance, and I was playing B-game. Fun because although my B-game is very solid and at a level where I was content with, it opened a new level again to further improve my game both technically and mentally. Was working on this the past week and I definitely noticed improvement. Will continue working on it even more. I finally understand why mistake is a fundamental aspect to improve your poker game and not something you need to 'tilt' on.

Abit lacking on volume, should finish with ~3.5k games this month.
hey! awesome blog, didn't read all, but nice to see you crushing hypers! I also try to move up to those limits, currently playing 7s with about 3% roi and i think i play pretty bad actually ♦

Hey, played lots of games, most addictive ones was probably Diablo II and somewhat Dota(2) (used to be on WC3). Now I don't play/spend alot of hours on those games anymore. I'm still playing about 2hrs on avg per day on Dota2 but thats reasonable for one of my hobbies.
Other than that I casually play (or used to play) games like call of duty, final fantasy, fire emblem etc.
niceee, i also play dota2 (1v1 mid?
), altough i've been mostly playing CS:GO with friends lately ♦
nice to see gamers success in poker, gives me hope haha ♦

Haha nowadays I just play two games with my friend in the evening most of the time. Sometimes I go solo, my solo MMR is 5100. We could do a few 1v1 for fun hehe. My strongest aspect in Dota2 is decision making and map awareness
I pretty much like most RPG, strategy and turn based games. Games such as Fire Emblem has all 3 which is the nuts ♦

Too many "Trafalgar Law" lol, add me instead: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198076529795/
Time to revive the dead blog abit. June went pretty poor, only managed 2k profit orso but the volume was abit lacking (~3k games). Still reasonable within variance.
Here's the graph for Jan-June 2014. First two months didn't play too much cuz of college. Also started to get abit lazy, still playing at least 32hr/week on poker but I need to push it abit more when possible. On the other hand life isn't poker only so gotta have a good balance.

And a random hand as bonus since I haven't posted in awhile.

You forgot this part, cuz you don't mess with these type of fishes!

And of course the August giraffe ![]()

Ehm about the blog, I just didn't know what to write besides posting (bragging) graphs which I kinda stopped doing. Nothing special going besides just grinding/spending time on poker ~36hour a week. I'll finally hit supernova next month though! Kept telling myself that I'll play some MTTs but they are boring as fuck.
Who needs the cartel when you're raking in $6k a month on $30s ♦ Sick graph as always.

Exactly
, show some of your giraffe's noob ![]()
About the 60s, have some private issues atm (non poker related), dont wanna go in detail about it.
So managed to play 4k games this month, finished with about 8.5k pre-rb, ran quite good. Also just reached 91k VPPs, I should be hitting SN real soon, my first time SN ever :f_love:. Can't wait, got 250k fpps saved up ♦
