I got a 27" monitor a year or so ago, and I love it -- I wanted a 32", but a) couldn't afford it and b) insufficient desk space.

Cheers,

Is the 27' widescreen?

I'll have to assume purpose is not entertainment only.

Pre order solution for monitor buyers?
I got a post-display from store, cheaper with no flaws.

It is 16:9 aspect ratio (1920x1080)
Part of the reason I got it is that it was 20% off because the box had been damaged (the monitor was fine)

I do a fair bit of work at the computer, and I stream on twitch, but is that entertainment or not?

If I ever get another monitor, it will be capable of the best resolution my graphics card can output.

Sorry SittingOuts, for hijacking your blog...

Bought the 27 inc screen yesterday, looks nice!~ The chair has also the option to fold out to make it a bed and will be arriving in two days from now! Decent set up, happy with it :)

Haven't played poker in a few days, once I'm setup I will be grinding plo. The lost poker days and the few to come I use to study the game a bit more.

BRM I will start with 200usd

Playing a mix of plo2 and plo5.
4 to 6 hours a day, but very possible even more.

Preparation:

Starting with a little fun dance, haha
Meditation and visualization.
Breathing exercises.
My sleep pattern is good for now (going to sleep at 23:00 wake up around 0:700)

Grading my play in game and after it:

Discipline 1/10
Focus 1/10
Decision making 1/10
In Game decisions 1/10
Effect on bad beats 1/10
Tilt risk 1/10
Effective playing time 1/10
Stop loss/Breaks taken 1/10

Making my own Plo Bible with after session notes. (Strategy, Improvements, Goals, ect)

BRM:
Taking shots at 40BI for 5 buy ins.
Dropping too the 100usd mark I will try some hu plo sng's with plo2.
Fail and 50usd left, back to reg tables at 2nl and doing it all over again.

The real Plo grind starts tomorrow. My achievable winrate should be at plo2: 20/100BB and at plo5: 15/100BB.

I'm really curious at what rate I can do this, grinding a lot of hours and putting in a lot of volume for this month and more later! My new setup (lazy chair and 27inch monitor) required a house make over, haha.

Goals, by the end of the year I would like to play plo25 and by the end of this month I should be taken shots at plo10, if all go's well. I really enjoy playing this format much more then holdem, altho at these limits my winrates are pretty much the same.

2 weeks of PLO so far (more like 5 days cause I took a break).

Wish me luck!

I bought the chair second hand for 55E, I think new if you would buy it in a store it would be 250E. Thanks for the gl!

Yay 100 profit on nl2 since the rebuild, only 75usd down this month, but this come back feels really good :) I made a few adjustments in my game and its good to see it's paying of!

Lol at my BB winrate, haha

BB Graf:

Still have some ways too go, when my roll hits 200usd again I'm back at 5nl.

Got destroyed at 5nl, wasn't playing well. Did a cashout and bought a nice pair of headphones, needed those and the session with them on, went okay.

Sticking with zoom, rebuild number 3 but still alive :P

Hey SittingOuts,
Nice graph!
Nice headphones!

Did you get the option where the headphones have the built-in warning that tells you when villain will suck out by the river? :coolface: [1]

Best of luck :gl:,
