Congrats UPAY4DINNER
That's all the more impressive (to me) because it is at STTs I never could figure those out

Another 120 hands gone through in ICMIZER today before a small 9 game session.

Didn't make the best of starts but got on with it and had 5 cashes including 2 firsts and 2 seconds.

Definitely feeling more confident on the bubble now but putting a lot of work in those situations and short term results show it's paying off.

Up just under $11 this week after 24 games. Studying continues tomorrow and I'm on track to start streaming again this week in my usual Thursday slot.

Another small session this evening, was hoping to load more but kept getting deep so didn't need to load.

Sticking with the four tables for now as well until we grind up more studying in the SNG coach. Speaking of which I have another 50 hands to do today!

LFG!

34 games this week, +10 buyins so we've made a great start to Challenge 3.0!

Hey all,

Been a while since I last updated.

ICMIZER training going well, now at top 2% of PokerStars 9man Turbos but aiming for top 1% and hope to complete that before the end of the month.

Been grinding on stream the last few evenings but taking a break today. Thanks for popping in for those that have and if not make sure you do in the near future :)

So since we moved to Stars the stats are as follows

Games: 103
Winnings: $156.84
Net winnings: $2.34
ROI: 1.51%
ITM: 37.9%
1sts: 15
2nds: 9
3rds: 15
4ths: 12
5ths: 17
6ths: 9
7ths: 9
8ths: 6
9ths: 11
VPIP: 24
3bet: 8
WTSD: 55.7
Agg: 1.84
Agg%: 26%

Obv happy to be in profit, but last few days we've hit a big downer, taking a $40 swing from +$20 to slightly below and then slightly above again!

Took my monthly MTT cheat day to the EXTREME!

Just finished 21st in the $33 KO Series for $1K including booties!

Couldn't fold JJ vs a EP short stack shove and a 22BB overcall from the player on my right. We were good against the shorty (AK) but not against the overcaller who had KK....

Had a bunch of other runs bringing total cashes to $1,125.25

@UPAY4DINNER Nice Stream Man ! You almost broke the furnitures twice but it was fun :f_tongue::f_tongue::f_tongue:
Yeah about the JJ i was screaming DO NOT OVERCALL !!! Stats of the 1st caller were pretty tight if i recall correctly ...
Anyway it could have flipped in your favor so no regrets to have and you cashed in so it's great ! Congratulations :f_drink::f_drink::f_drink:

Best of Skills & Luck @ Tables,
OldSchoolPapa.

Wow, that´s cool!

The idea of a "cheating day" is very good, I have a "cheating-day" in my diet, I could have cheating days in poker as well. That´s a great idea!

Nice cash though taking shots to 33$ mtt seems pretty questionable.

Yeah, I have no regrets here, strangely with over $400 in KOs on the line in this situation. Obv it sucks and it was a call that I "didn't have to make" I took the gamble!

Yes, it breaks up the mundane a little. Gonna be hard to fire $1.50 SNGs now but we will see!

Glad that you enjoyed it - I certainly did and hope you are not too tired for work. I got to sleep at 4am and was awake just after 7 - so I certainly am tired!

Thanks, it wasn't a shot take though per se. Cannot go into details here but let's just say that it wasn't a shot take

============

Thanks for all the kind wishes everyone, adrenaline is still pumping although a headache due to lack of sleep is beginning to brew!
