Oh well i deleted the last post, no need to have it standing here really i figured. In fact i totally forgot some stuff about my study. If everything goes alright, i'll start my internships in september and it'll be nearby my parents place hopefully. So I'll be living at their place again, saving some money etc in the meanwhile.

My roommate just let me know he will be moving out the 1st of april,(nice short notice lol), so it'll get rather boring in this house aswell, so i'll be moving out when the summer holidays start. No point in renting this place in the summer till september if i'm never around.

Just need to figure out if i'm gonna focus more on my studies these last few months untill my internship, or do what i'm doing now.

Quick update between all my studying, weird feeling with my roommate gone now. Sorta feels like coming home to an empty house now lol, eventough he wasn't here all that much. Plusside, there's gonna be a cute girl living here now probably .

Planned to drop a certain essay, so i would have more time for some things i have to retake, but apparantely i still have >10wks for those retakes. So i'm trying to finish the essay afterall.

Pokerwise i haven't played alot, wasn't full focused, took a week off and after that i could focus better. Hence the graph going back up again.

The big 'drops' are NL200, the rest after 32k hands is mainly nl50 on stars. In hindsight i don't know if i should be happy with the month or not, i made profits, but i feels like i played BE.
SN Pace i'm right on track, 26k vpp this year. Cashed alot from my 888 account to pay my holidays, so I'll be sticking on nl100 a bit more there.
Hope to back on nl100 the coming month on stars aswell.

Okay did something completely different, i had nothing to do this evening. So i started some MTT's aswell, seeing they're so fishy in weekends. At first it looked like i was going to lose on every mtt.

But eventually i made a FT on a 2.7KO crapshoot. Had 10bb all the time before the ft, and everytime i double, the blinds doubled, so i had 10bb again. One silly setup, fish sb shoves into my bb, snapcall with QJ obv. he has Ax. and i'm down to 2bb and think the tourney is over with just ~25ppl left. I just shove my remaining stack the next hand, i triple with Q5o and have ~10bb again. :)

Just before the FT i made a nice suckout with AQ>AK. And at the start of the FT i got pretty good cards, but got paid only once. Eventually it was down to just 5 ppl, me having the medium stack. The shorty had to make a suckout and double, and immediately suckout vs me and knock me out in 4th place. A8<78.

Oh well, can't complain from such a crapshoot, ~750$ in the pocket. :) Also picked up 4bi at nl50, so a nice evening after all. :)

Just played my first nl100 after a longlong time on stars ;). Alot of familiar faces, don't know if they are 8 tabling zoom, or also moved up.
Do need to update my hud a bit, a bigger portion of the reg seem more 'balanced' on my stats, so i'd have to figure out some other ways to trick 'm.

Ofcourse i had the nicest welcome ever AGAIN, KK<AA in my first 10hands lol. Did win 1BI in the end, so everything is alright. :)

I just broke my phone =.=. dropped it 20cm onto the floor and it's completely broken :'). Not like an iphone with shattered glass etc, but this shitty samsung S2 and it's entire screen is blurred black and the touchscreen is dead.

Oh well, i was getting a new one ~2weeks time.

just played another session, ofcourse i get the most awesome badrun as always on NL100. Can't win a single showdown, vs the most retarded regs or fish.

Did a little rebuilding on NL50, for some reason it's so much easier.

Next session will be NL100 again, cuz i'm 'losing' money by playing nl50 i think.

Tried out a new hud with Notecaddy and i can see how it'll help other players, but to me and my playstyle it wasn't working at all. I had a zillion new popups, which did have alot of information, but not sorted in the correct way. Made some shitty plays because of it and i had no clue on where to find stats, as every stat in the hud had a different popup. So i asked for a refund. :)

Now back to el crushaments. :)

That was a short session, 3 times KK<AA to tilt me. :/

Love how one reg keeps calling me a donk and everything, eventhough i'm up the most vs him from the entire playerpool in my database. If you're reading this, i'm a winning player pre-rb. :f_biggrin:

Fuck me, my phone couldn't get repaired temporarily so i could copy all my contacts etc.

So I'll get a new phone on the 21st. Have to be a hipster till then with my old S1.

The stats i wanted to implement into my hud arent available lol.
