I love the one-eye-open "are you kidding me?" look!

I wish you the best of luck with the challenge. I honestly think you will be surprised how fast you will chush your experience and enough volume. Looking forward to read your next book with Dara. Just love your writing from a didactic point of view.

Best of luck, Barry, should be an interesting journey!

Good luck. If you plan to play good amount of hexapro or other sng or cash I would in general advice to change nick name now and then. No point of giving edge to those that change it regularly. In MTT it's obviously not such big deal.

Btw you can ask some basic data from your games from Unibet support.

Thank you. We've already started work on our 4th book while this one is being proof read. We did a video for Dara's YouTube channel coming out in a few weeks for it. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtmCSXyQx1K2kaVfUPujESQ

Funny you mention the name change thing, I had a guy on my left table with a name like Spiderman123 and one on my left table with the name Spiderman124

Not sure if it was the same guy or somebody trying to level him

I've always wanted to witness financial suicide live. Best of luck, grandpa!

I'm going to get my first week's report in early because I am going to my first live tourney in almost two years later on today and it's a two day tourney and I am hoping to be there both days. It is also my birthday on Monday (please don't ask how old) so I'll be taking things a little easy. Rail me on Twitter.

Starting Bankroll: €1,635.83
Today's Bankroll: €1,736.43
Number of tournies: 73 (19 MTTs, 54 HexaPros)
Profit: €100.60

Proof:

I actually had a crappy week where I seemed to lose at everything but I ran like god in one session to put me back into profit, so I'll take it.

What also turned it around was I had a hand review session with Dara O'Kearney and I always play really well after we do that. As our current book (ICM) is at the proofers being read we have already started work on our next one, which is going to be him attempting to teach me GTO essentially. I expect it will take a long time but whatever happens it's a win/win for me because I will be getting all this amazing coaching for it.

In other news my most ever 'liked' tweet was this joke, which got over 150,000 views and almost 1k likes. I have an unhealthy relationship with Twitter where I count the likes for my joke tweets obsessively:

Finally, my beloved dog is alergic to spores in the grass, his face is all puffy on his right hand side. Enjoy

Sorry to hear about your dog. That looks painful.

Swelling has gone down quite a bit, its a seasonal thing but I'm going to double check with a vet tomorrow. He's old and I want to grab every second I can with the fella.

Hi milf lover , its very motivated to see someone like you playing and sharing how you play poker. Hope you go well with flips. GL

I mean, I am, but not sure how you knew that

So my return to live poker did not go well at all, I lasted three levels. Really disappointed and not sure when my local casino will run a comp again.

A friend did remind me of a time I ran really well though so that was nice:

If you need Profit/Loss/Rake stats or a breakdown of finishing positions in tournaments let me know and I can provide both whenever you need for whatever period (so long as it's 2019 onwards)

Thanks Andy, I'll maybe check in with you once a month

GL Barry. You wrote, that You play Hexapro 25, when You play Well. Is that when You feel focussed in a session, or when You feel over time, you’re playing Well at a lower level?

Focussed I guess. My criteria for taking shots at the next level is basically when i think I am making good decisions. If I have a spell where I am not happy with how I played I stick to the €5s and €10s

Week 2
Starting Bankroll: €1,736.43
Today's Bankroll: €1,788.80 (€1,688.80 + €100 satellite ticket won)
Number of tournies: 79 games (16 MTTs & 63 hexapros)
Profit: €52.37

Actually a terrible week at the tables, I think I have ran really well for most of the year but this week I got a ton of well deserved coolers. I did manage to make two decent final tables and win a satellite to keep me in profit, but everything else was very frustrating.

I have actually put more volume in with the DTO app this week. It has taken me a long time to really learn how to use it, in no small part because post flop hand reading is the weakest part of my game. However, this week I had a few eureka moments with the best way to use it and now I am obsessed with it.

I am concentrating on one spot for now, 30BB SRP BB vs BTN. I think I am going to keep going with that until I pull off a 20 hand streak (best so far is 16). This is my overall stats for the spot so far

It was my birthday this week so I have a night out with friends tonight, which is something that feels very special after 18 months of mostly locking down.

Dog is still awesome, thread saver
