Hey!
Really nice insight on how playing micro MTTs allows you to put in more volume. How's your focus during the long sessions?
A quick tip, if you want to build studying habits / reading habits for the thesis, you might want to try a different approach - try out tiny habits, it's a free one-week program that approaches habits differently than usually :).

Hey!
Try doing what I posted here: https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=268471#post1474131 .
If you still have problems you should edit them manually:
1. Use pokerprolabs/sharkscope to confirm results.
2. On the MTT list in HM2, right-click them "edit"
Hope it helps ![:]](https://www.pokerstrategy.com/_forum-runtime/wp-content/uploads/wpforo/emoticons/pokerstrategy-legacy/basics/pleased.gif ":]")
Hey guys,
Really nice insight on how playing micro MTTs allows you to put in more volume. How's your focus during the long sessions?

I'd say the focus is a bit better for a longer time when there's a mixture of different kinds of stimuli. A mix of zoom, normal tables, micro mtts and heads-up cash provides significantly more interesting spots per hour than just 4-tables of zoom. It also makes me feel a bit more like a degenerate as well, since it looks like i'm a huge action junkie when there are all sorts of tables all over the monitors.
Took a look at the link: don't think he explains what i'm committing to all too well but might try it at some point down the line. Thanks!

If pokerprolabs and sharkscope are reliable with the results, I guess it doesn't really matter how my hem graphs look like. If I end up getting more serious with this mtts and hem still doesn't capture the results, i am going to use this. Thanks!
Some concerning news for all Finnish, Dutch and Canadian players.
http://www.casino.org/news/playtech-pulls-canada-netherlands-finland
As the discussion is going on in Twitter, the rumor is that the finnish gaming monopoly RAY is the main force pulling the strings in Finland. Obviously they're the main benefactor behind this pullout as well.
Haven't heard anything more regarding the situation and reasons behind Netherlands or Canada.

My opinion for a long time have been that every Finnish player should boycott RAY. At least for now would be good time to wote with own feet.

True that! It doesn't feel nice to be treated like a criminal just because of my hobby, which IS legal, BUT only if you pay the rake for the one game provider. That's just not right! And the fact that they have begun so aggressive is just scary.
From our point of view, RAY certainly looks like (is?!) the villain. Looking at it from RAY's point of view, they're just doing what they think is the highest ev for the business. The ridiculous part is that RAY & Veikkaus are still monopolies.
I've got to give it to them, they've done their marketing very well, though.
During last years, whenever i've been handed an election leaflet by a candidate, i've asked them: "what do you think about gaming monopolies in Finland?", the answer has always been along the lines of "they donate some of their profits to charity, so they're cool". When presented with the next question in the queue: "if the market was open to everyone, how much more taxes Finland would get and what % of those taxes should be distributed to the charitable causes in order to match what the monopolies are contributing?", the answer has every single time been: "i have no idea".
The perception among decision makers is that gaming monopolies are a good thing. This probably isn't completely based on the fact that those same monopolies sponsor big political campaigns (with big money), christmas parties, election parties etc. Nice use of the word parties, ehh?
Imo, it's obvious bribery from my standpoint. The thing with bribes is that both sides get something and have an incentive to keep doing what they're doing. Hence, nothing is going to change.

Haven't used any services from Veikkaus or RAY in years and have zero plans of changing that. Also, i'm pretty sure i've convinced lots of my friends to do the same. Unfortunately some of them still engage in the highly negative ev drunken blackjack gambling in clubs, which (obviously) is provided by RAY.

Personally I only play lottery trough Veikkaus, but what comes to RAYs games, I have not been playing their online poker or slots for years now.

Last night, around 4am my time, i scored the biggest tournament cash of my life. 550$ from the quarterly supernova freeroll on stars. Finisher around 100th of 4,7k runners. Not a bad ROI, ehh? A bit sad to not get the 100k that was the first price but at least I know i'll have another shot at it in three months time 
And yea, because of that I'm also up for the year in mtts
Cash games:
Just ran really hot in a short zoom session. Every bluff jam, they tank fold, every tricky river check with nuts ends up them bet/calling etc. Made some big exploitative folds in spots where didn't think they were bluffing etc. It always feels awesome to have this kind of sessions.

Next year - Thailand?:
On an unrelated note, I'm looking into getting a visa to Thailand. Planning to move to Chiang Mai during January. In case YOU are interested in joining, ship me a message. And more importantly, if you already have a house in there, send me a message via community tool or skype. And lastly and most importantly, if you have available rooms around january, let me know and maybe we can fill those rooms with grinders.
Obviously all hints and tips are welcome.
Heyo,
Just a quick update. Thailand, and more specifically Chiang mai, is on from 7th of January. I ordered a new passport which should arrive today/tomorrow and then I'll order the visa and I'm all set. The offer still stands: if you want to join a couple of successful players in a quest of living in Thailand and improving as a player while enjoying life & success, send me a message either here or via Skype and get on board!
#BOOM!
I will post some updates regarding thailand/chiang mai at some point but for now i'm going to have to push those to the sidelines. More important news ahead.
Introducing Shev's 
love coaching! (trademark TheLastNail)
Once upon a time, I was given love coaching by TLN. Now i've got an opportunity to do the same. I have consciously toned down my private coaching for the past few weeks in order to not make anyone feel like they payed for something they could have gotten for essentially free.
Below you can find both the link to the thread that inspired this all and also the conditions under which i'll be working.
Originally posted by TheLastNail
I give 20h (!!) of esentially FREE coaching away right now, right here.
Conditions:
*1 person only has 1 session. He/she can choose between 0h-2h. The price will be very symbolic and set at: 10$/hr. moneybookers or stars transfer
*u can choose ur session length in minutes, but has to be presaid and prepaid for @0.167$/minute. (my normal prices are over 20x more expensive-see my profile. My only personal concern beyond fun and love spreading is to be capable of at the very least earn for a bread and salt w my work otherwise i am afraid there are chances i sober up to a very nice total incompetency syndorm depression ♦
*1st one takes 1st gets, no groups available (more stress- i want to spread love- not experienced in a threesome yet,
). i plan to coach these 20h within the next 3-4 days. The admission procedure: u must opt in for the coaching in this blog and add me on skype simultaneously (see my profile) and we schedule a session asap, if we cannot schedule- and sb else does before u, i take him/her.
=========================
my edits/additions:*my leg is injured, so you'll have to listen to my puffing and pill popping during the coaching but hopefully the pain nor the sounds will be too terrible.
*this LOVE parade takes place for ~36 hours and will end at 18th of January 00.00am (my time, which i believe is GMT+7 atm) and therefore ALL the sessions must take part until that time (if u prepaid and we didnt manage it- am returning money obv)
*more conditions may apply if i feel so
=========================
disclaimer: this is extremely unlikely a reoccuring event and my conditions for this are open to anyone, even my current students, therefore even tho i utterly respect and put into foremost priority my private coachings, this will not be related to the prices of my further coachings and i expect my loving students all respect this. thank you
Hopefully I can help some of you guys and make you spread the love in the future 
Ohh, and i'm a fish in pretty much any other format besides nlhe but if you want me to help you with some other game, i'm happy to give my thoughts.
Any game, any stakes, anyone. No racism towards anything itt. If you want it, i'll give you my rusty thoughts on how to pick up girls
edit:
my nlhe graph for this year (only a week played )
6k hands on 2/5, rest 1/2. All zoom. Once the pain gets manageable so that don't have to eat analgesics/pain killers (that's what they're called, right?) like candy, will be back on the horse grinding, grinding, grinding.
