any way to speed up the process of 70 bucks TaF money delivery? would be worse probably :/
Good fight and grind at NL2 cashgame for 45min as lower SnGs were not available at 7am. I think I am finally ready for these stakes, loved grinding NLHE cashgame with great confidence and felt the edge, even though down less than -1BI in the end.
Sitting at bus station, played a bit 6max NL2 from tablet browser. Should get KKpoker app for tablet, was nice once. Out of money though, as gf sent me to zoo with children, there were also many other costs last month, such as:
sports shoes 57€
yearly website hosting 111€
to girlfriend to cover rent etc 150€
But yea the zoo pretty much killed the current real life bankroll, 25€ with ice-creams for both kids. KKpoker deposit starts from $20. Trying something sports currently, taking bus to our forest house, but I have to walk 10km in the end with heavy backpack (2 laptops inside), I have a free week alone as kids trip to my mother, also the cat is waiting at the forest house, im planning to grind this time, also took my grinding glasses which I bought in Vienna in 2013. So this type of sports effort and challenges again.
Arrived to forest house, super nice, played first session, shots to NL2, huge swings, total up like +0.60€ with session in ~40 minutes. Forest, weather and nature is super nice here 
All-time high achieved, last 5 months average +0,62€/day in poker. The sweet thing is, you don't have to actually do this when you have children, it is enough to take care of them. Yeah 5 months is like no data but I'm building my database...
Deposited €100 and moved up to €0.50 SnGs. Lost both 9max ones on PokerStars, but managed to beat Heads-Up €0.50 Sng tablestarting fish on other site. It was like my 35bb to his 6bb, then he still managed to climb to 20bb to 10bb lead, but got crushed. Final hand I shoved 99 and got called by his JTo, but held and took it down. Wouldve been a pretty shit day otherwise. He really had the chance to ruin my whole day, but nope, not this time.
About +1.40€ in about one hour today in total, lost -$0.50 SnG on Stars again, but played pretty well. If I practice those, there's huge number of players on $1 and $2 levels, also in tourneys, could be really profitable. Also taking successful shots to NL2 today.
Played NL2 4-tabling for 50min. Played really well, but lost like 0,5 BI. I love those cashgames. Tomorrow if the wind is low, will maybe try to bicycle trip to second hand shop in nearby town for 23km, to get a really cheap monitor for our forest house. Will keep you updated about this trip.
Dude you teaching poker now nice ♠_biggrin: gave the channel a follow, will check out some of your content - I'm still poker study lazy. The least (or most) I do is pre flop in a trainer.

yes is nice channel. i was trying to promote online poker to locals in Estonia, as many people had low skills, were losing in crypto/real estate schemes etc. so this channel is like part of a free service of my gamedev business, introducing computer games and that world to people from other fields. i started with very beginner content but as they progress, they are ready for more advanced poker content
The bicycle trip to nearby town (20 kilometers) went nice, didn't find a used cheap monitor but got a new electric chainsaw to make firewood from fallen logs. A more static choice and a decision to use the help of local nature.
Took down a $0.11 tournament of 41 players on Party for +$1.51 in 1,5 hours. Also played NL2 cash on other site for +3€ but those high stakes get a bit scary 
Was just sitting down in a €0.50 HU SnG, played few hands, when owner of the real estate (girlfriend) called me on phone, which kicked me out of the internet and pretty much transferred that money to the opponent. We never call on phone, mostly typing messages, so I didn't even remember that danger. But yeah, a phone call does that to the mobile internet. Ran deep again though on Party in $0.11 tourney, so in total +€0.13 in less than 1,5 hours. Gotta respect the owner and keep good relationships 
and play on right stakes Yesterday also deep run at Partypoker in $0.22 tourney for +1,02€
The plan was to start grinding $0.50 9man SnGs on Stars, but I've lost all 4 of them that I have played. Is good in-between stakes between €0.10 SnGs/tourneys and NL2 cashgame, but I have to think a bit.
Stars bankroll restored with FL cashgame I remembered that they have that. Looks like a new poker boom is starting.
Getting constantly kicked out from freerolls by girlfriend calling on phone, which quits the mobile internet. Is nice to get some rest and focus on better goals. On the other hand, it is now impossible again to play tournaments if they keep calling on phone. I guess my more than a week rest is ending and they are arriving soon.
Switching to cashgames where phone interruption causes less damage, up +2€ in 40 minutes. Gotta love those 100 VPIP people... Had like 2 of them at once in a 6max NL2 table. What I have learned from coach, is that here you can really loosen up pre because of huge +EV postflop edge. Calling anything on BB vs UTG minraise etc. They will lose a lot if you hit and are playing quite straightforward, so it is also possible to make them fold.
The new coaches also check the old goals... for example, I had this "dream big" recommended by TwiceT and similar. Now I wished to buy the forest house from girlfriend with €16,000. But the new coaches are like: "is that goal realistic?" It is not, luckily. The thing is, I wish to experience something new. But I don't have to set unrealistic goals for that. Suddenly - all solved.
