A Woman Swimming With The Sharks!!!

Dont be so harsh on them :), keep in mind that it was a freerol and a show, players were having a lot of fun, they were not necessarily trying to play their A game.. the thing is even if you win the heat you will play 8 max winner takes all, what are your chances really... so it was a freerol nice atmosphere I really liked how e.g. David Williams played, he really made a good job shoving beginners how to play ♦

Wait so you don't win 1 million for winning this, you have to win the 2nd round as well to win the million? The 4th line up was the toughest mainly because of Ike followed by Fredrik, Elky, Esfendiari. In that order imo. And Perkins is actually not that bad, just kind of spewy in some spots but what else can you expect.

Well yes, it would be too expensive if they paid 1M for every heat ♦ So its a double shootout with deals not allowed... Curious to see the final table atmosphere, when will they start to be serious, 4 plrs left? 3? Must be sick to lose the HU there.... looking forward to watch it!

I am not sure if it was the toughest, there were 2 recreational plrs + you cannot count Fredrik because he was the qualifier, you should look at the heat from the qualifiers view imo But still, funny for the regs looking forward to play against a fish and Fredrik sits down, oooops ♦

Imo Theo, Faraz, Phil is a sick lineup as well...

November was not a good month, don't even feel like checking the results... its pretty easy not to check since I have them across several databases + several sites, smart I know

Played the Women's Sunday and flopped the royal flush:heart: , promising beginning of a new month Didn't make it to the FT though, finished 14th... I want to win that tournament so bad...

Can't wait for the final table episodes of the Shark Cage, really curious how my friend Griffin did there! He is a great player and the final table seems quite playable so far, probably softest SNG for $1M ever

I was a bit surprised that my episode of Shark Cage did not include some hands of which I was pretty sure they would be there, but it must be hard to cut several hours of play into half an hour... Also, we had a funny hand with Jonathan where he bluffed me out of split OTR with his random river betting <>< (we both had 4th pair no kicker and he claimed it was a value bet wtf )

Other than that I just found myself locked at home without having the keys The moment you realize you are locked and have no keys is priceless, so annoying... pure tilt... but at least I found the time to write this blogpost

Just watched your episode, was quite funny to listen your accent and then I was sad at the end. I think the J8o call is likely a mistake.

Haha, leave my accent alone, the only language I practise nowadays is baby language

Well, I know the call with J8o looks gross but I had played with icmizer before the show and I knew it showed J8o as call in such situation... the thing is I have really no experience in HU and Griffin is an online player, so I just went with the call.

Besides, he won the first AI of the HU as a 25% dog which they dont even show then the 35% ... I was disappointed (and defeated ). But I also knew it was a call according to icmizer when I have a 1M and the blinds are 75k/150k + 50k... what would you call with?

Surprised you dont object to the Q8s call, that was a similar situation, bottom of Nash calling range...

Against Fatima I would maybe adjust ranges but Griffin as an online player... thought he would shove on me wide. TLN also told me to stick with Nash... but you know, I play 6 max full stack, no experience with HU & short... I would play the HU the same way again, dont have any regrets about my play there. But I will gladly take free coaching

Hi there

So nice to see another girly at the tables! I believe we met in Vienna a few years back, but I also remember being quite under the influence, so I may not have made the best first impression on you...

So nice to read you have a daughter! Give my best to Jozef!

I will take my time to read through your blog when I have time, I just got back active in the scene so have lots of catching up to do!

Hi Vonki

Of course I remember you!! It was TwiceT's birthday party and I didn't know anybody there ... and then you came to my rescue!! You were very friendly (alcohol? ) and it was nice to have somebody to rely on when looking for bathrooms (the classical thing: women going in groups always, any of you guys ever wondered why women do that? )

Thank you, will do when Jozef returns home from his trip (went away for a few days to play live cg).

I will follow your blog, I am sure you will crush the low limits quickly (think back in Vienna you played nl100 already) and then we will maybe meet at the tables... I am trying out zoom as well now too! Not sure I will stick with it though, it's tilting at times...

He seemed like best player there. I also didn't realize the ante was quite that big, they don't show blinds and ante in the vid unfortunately. Knowing that, I think it's fine. He was such a big box as well, unfortunately for you.

conspiracy theory, weirdos.

Not a fan of the show since there is not enough about interesting poker hands, just more about the personalities and sound-bites... Looks like you played well though.
Just think if you had made that terrible call with QT vs Griffin (and Fatima as well) you would have eliminated him...

I know!!! But never really thought about it twice, Fatima will be camping there with better hands all day long with a short stack behind her... I wouldn't feel good to win a hand with such a terrible play (+ on TV ) so I am not bothered by it at all... but maybe I should have just shipped it first to act, that would be a bit less stupid and maybe I could live with that

This zoom thing is really confusing me... sometimes I feel like I need to learn how to fold sets again 'cause everybody always has it but then there are times when weird things happen:

Sometimes I feel like my main problem with zoom is that I am unsure if I can rely on the plrs that they know what they are doing ... then I get paranoid and less confident about how should I play... but I am determined to figure this game out

What a great start of the day... Travelled to a doctor (~ 35 km away) with my daughter for a scheduled checkup.
Can't believe I thought they would let me know if they planned not to work today. It was THEM who told me to show up today...

Wasted morning. Wasted energy...

Running it twice... yes or no?

Nice reading, thanks.

Meh, only if you are trolling NL1k again

Damn I need to stop bluffing these guys, they just snap me off all the time even when they have blockers on my bluff range... the only time when they hesitate is when they have A high but still end up calling ♦

But seriously, they play well and own me, I overbluff in certain spots and so they are right making the calls... god how I hate to be owned!! ♦

At least my hud will now show from time to time that I am a TAG, love to have the eagle... just not sure if its worth it ♦

Hihihihi I always try to be friendly, but under the influence of alcohol I am not shy at all as I usually am... and then you'll be glad if you can get me to stop ranting at all long enough to hear your own thoughts Good old times, I miss it

I sure HOPE I will... back in the days I played FR, average aggression of the regs there was like that of NL25 or so in SH ♦ Maybe I could sweat you bluffing around on NL100 sometime and become more of a spewmonkey myself heheheh I see you're still having problems? What did you play before zoom, normal tables?

Also, if you dont mind: BABYPIC PLZ!!!

Yup, actually had a pretty bad session again yesterday. Looked like this:

I felt like I was running badly, but the fact that I played 4 tbls like a retard certainly did not help as well. Yes, I used to play normal tables. If the tables were rly good I would play max 8 but mostly I played 6. So rly what am I doing, opening 4 zoom tables

Babypic you can find in spoiler from 1st of Nov. hard to take new pictures of her, she just wont stop moving and so I mostly have blurry pics of her

And here is a little something for all of you guys who like Slovak music :f_drink:, I really enjoy the song :f_love:, its funny (ok, maybe not if you dont understand the lyrics ) and its about
btw dont miss the end its funny

Played a session tonight, only 1 table, wanted to try new things. It was fine except of the fact that I had too much time so I could notice that the woman who eliminated me out of Women's Sunday a few days ago on 14th place (she won the tourney eventually) was sitting in front of me! Oh dear, oh dear... :f_mad: ... there follows a bit of overreaction
