Decided I'm going to have 3-5 days away in Europe somewhere in April or maybe late march Just looking for somewhere with very good weather, nice food and chilled. Would possibly be going by myself but may take a friend too. Important that weather is guaranteed to be very good by say march 20th. Price is not important.

Any ideas?

Algarve or even Lisbon, both in Portugal

+1 .

"LISBON, Portugal - Lisbon, the cosmopolitan and fascinating capital of Portugal, has been named Europe’s Leading City Break Destination 2013. The city triumphed at the prestigious World Travel Awards which are considered to be the ‘Oscars’ of tourism."

BOOM!

What a day of grinding, Mondays are usually not spectacular and infact action is so slow some regs always take Mondays off. However I decided to grind after sleeping in late. After 5k hands I was down more than any other point this year, but grinded, grinded, grinded and 11k hands total for the day which is maximum Ive done 6 tabling and 9k vpps which is the most Ive ever made in a day and we ended up with a profit and can pat outselves on the back. Basically just grinded for 8 hours without any breaks in the toughest game online right now (1k zoom) and felt tilted at times, felt happy at times but mostly stayed in the zone and grinded very hard. Really happy with it and glad that Im a little further ahead of pace than I was yesterday.

Before grinding I had a nice walk with my dogs and went for a meal.

Extra portion of potatoes OBV!

Tomorrow is a really busy day, have to pick a sofa up in the morning at 10am, its 4am now fml, then do some stuff for the landlord, possibly grind a little bit, have a football match at night so VPPs dont look very likely tomorrow.

GN all.

Metza, well you can sit out if you want and come back in with 100 but the sickos like to play deep.

Your blog has taken a real inspirational turn over the past few weeks bro. VWP

It also seems like you have burst into a new level of skill/understanding. Can you pin point anything in particular that has helped?

No disrepect ofc, but to go from a midstakes microgaming player (which obv are by no means easy), to smashing the toughest games in poker these days, that's a huge step.

Yo Callum.

I think I just manned up a little bit. I never really played huge huge volume, I always thought I had a good and decent game and as you know from Gib always did well on Microgaming and had a decent win rate but my Stars results were actually pretty bad, probably breakeven or small loser for 100k hands. I think since I moved to Hungary from Gibraltar and stopped working full time it gave me the freedom to play more, study more and play when I wanted to play rather than in a small time frame that I had due to time constraints. I strongly think that learning comes from experience and thus playing, from playing zoom it allows me to play a lot of volume and thus I am continuously learning which is really important. I think I learn something new in poker every day, not always because something happens, but because I want it to happen. I try different lines, I watch others and become curious about their lines, I speak to friends every day about poker and am surrounded by poker players.

I actually wrote a post yesterday about "being the best in the business" its something that Im really unsure of, I have said YES I want to be the best player in the fields I play, but I think thats just normal right? Who doesnt try to be the best in their games? If you dont then you are just being lazy, instead I just want to be the best player I can be, if on December 31st I have 1m VPPs and another 100k in profit I know I will be very happy and will be able to be proud of myself. Right now I have done OK, I am around 10% of the way there, thats absolutely nothing! I need to ensure that I am self critical at all times and make sure all mental leaks are as solid as they can be otherwise this good start will be just that, a good start. Its about how you finish rather than how you start a race and this is definitely a marathon, not a sprint.

Hey Patrick!

I'm following both your blogs, so many interesting and funny things to read, awesome! However I'd like to ask you something:

How often do you study poker? Do you do session reviews after every session? Do you stop session to analyze hands inbetween? Do you try and work on your game (away from the tables) every day?

I'm asking since I think I don't do enough of this and that I'm kind of lazy about it...

Btw, keep crushing and hopefully you'll be SNE by the end of the year!

I use a Mac computer that runs windows through it, I couldn't recommend it higher.

I also use a MacBook Pro highest screen size and resolution possible but just for browsing, chilling and traveling I v v v rarely play poker on it. If you have some money burning your pocket and want a cool laptop tht will last a long time but st intend to,play poker on it then I'd say go for,it!

Hey, thanks always nice to see you in coachings and in my threads

I almost never do session reviews I don't think ie done a session review in 1 year. Whenever I have an interesting spot after a hand ill replay it whilst playing tables still and my mind is program,Ed now to take that information in and quickly learn something about the hand. If my mind can't process it i stop the session for 2 minutes send to 4 freinds on Skype and continue the session then soeak about it later with them.

Terrible day reslts wise, probably the worst day of the year in results which is sad. Just ran into ridiculous hands all day.

Finished the session 200bb deep bbjamming into 55 in 3bet pot on AT45x where he decided to float the flop which was painful
Just before had 55 v AK in 4bet pot on A52cc.... K.... Kc where any other river I stack him for 300bbs.
65cc in 3bet pot on AT5cc Jc Jx vs AJ
AT v 88 in 3bet pot on AT8
AJ v JJ in 4bet pot on 333Jx
AQ v T8ss on Qxxss in 3bet pot
Multiple flushes vs full houses and sets vs overpairs

Graph doesnt look pretty so its good I dont post daily ones.

Will grind alot over the weekend, maybe more 500 and 200 and just grind it out rather than this really high variance 1k as Im going away for a week next week for UKPC and will need a few days after that to get back into it so hopefully get some decent results this weekend.

Good VPP progress anyway.

This is amazing to read to be honest but when I think about it makes a lot of sense.
To play NL200-500-1000 zoom you must have super solid game plan for all the opponents pre flop and have prepared post flop lines for every street. I believe your preparation in the past has brought you to this level where now your "biggest worry" would be to put tons of volume consistently.

Really wondering what would happen if say you hit some sick downswing on those stakes? Would that make you readjust, do some hours reviewing checking for some leaks or how some regs readjusted vs you, or would you hold your head up high and continue grinding chasing SNE?

Appreciate it man!
