Most play was last week where i managed to hit the 25 hours i wanted even with my friend around. The week after i had my eye operation and was in no mood to play whatsoever. I also was discussing a stake deal with an old backer but in the end it fell through so i kind of attribute lack of extra volume to that also.

play wise i felt very good but i had a complete doomswitch session at 50nl euros losing over 10bi on a single table. I had a good edge vs the other player and made what i think was a good go at it. Sometimes these sessions happen so i'm really glad that i still ended up with a nice win.

This week i hope to get in a fairly decent amount of playing hours. I hope for my eye to get better asap vision is still blurry which is a bit worrying but i won't worry too much until the bruising/swelling has gone down.

weeks goals:
30 hours poker playing
3 videos and reviews

bonus 35 hours

Pretty good week overall. hit 35 playing hours and made quite a bit of headway with my game and in particular bet-size decisions. I went back on my decision to not playing regs, as even with the huge rake I can just about manage a win after rb so i think its worth it rather than sitting and doing nothing worthwhile.

Not much to do other than keep grinding my current limit. I guess I will be able to play 1/2 bumhunting sometime soon which should help. My focus now needs to be towards being capable of playing more tables. At the moment I limit myself to 2 max I'd like to get it to 4 in the next month or so.

I made a few videos of 2tabling with some reg action in there, but i think i will wait till i either no longer get action from them or my game changes before i share it.

I'll try and get a video for next week playing vs a recreational

Week goals
30 hours play time
Look at ways to add more tables and start to implement.

Didn't get in as much hands as i'd like but its not too bad as i also had a live trip on friday where i played some underground games in the city. it was a 1/1 euro game which is lower than i expected. I went there before and it was a 1/2/4 game so i was atleast presuming it'd be 1/2.

The field was super soft and i had no trouble making solid money playing standard tag style. (one of the first hands I get qto in the bb, loose guy opens to 3x and gets 4 callers. I pump it to 19 and everyone calls even though we are mostly 100bb deep lol...) so i had no real choice but to stick to tight and aggro. it was a fun excursion but one I wont be repeating. If i can guarantee a 1/2 game, I may go in the future just to break up the grind online but nothing regular in the works.

My goal for the week was to look at ways to get more hands per hour in. I tried and failed miserably at this.
I played a few hours of 3 tabling early on in the week and it really burnt me out fast. I think i will stick to 2 tables maximum for atleast the next week (possibly month) as i had a lot of negative minset problems and tiredness after attempting some 3 tabling.

my goals for this week are to hit 30 hours of playing time and to get into a good day to day working routine that i'd use 5/6 days a week. I have a basic blueprint of how i want to work my day. I'll try and get into a habit of that :f_drink:
