Yeah, two days ago was like playing FLHE 6max from phone while children watching cartoons from laptop connected to TV. Older child (7) was like constantly: "What is this? Who is playing?" about my poker game on phone, sitting in my lap and pointing to the phone. I was like trying to breathe deeply having a big downswing, opponents hitting hand after hand, "it's nothing, I am losing." In the end it turned around though but it was such a scary downswing, having to explain it to the child at the same time. He has started to ask so many questions, many times I said: "I cannot explain it this quickly while playing." They have huge impact on happiness and I didn't get angry at this stupid downswing, after all, I am a father and I have to contain myself, not being a tiltmonkey in front of children.

Thanks. This is like so funny. The grandmother of children is like writing poetry and is a bit mad, so I had to translate her poetry to English, because she wanted her books to sell better to foreigners. In the end we had huge conflict, and it is a bit scary to be in conflict with mentally ill person. Now we moved separate from her.. which is more funny. "style of writing" lol... thanks :f_thumbsup:

I have studied literature actually in university for 1,5 years in 2010s but that was in Estonian language. Of course I didn't get a literature degree, being more a poker pro etc. Degree would be nice though, you could go to schools and take the teacher position.

Was playing like FL 2c/4c on Stars again from laptop. I love those stakes. Turns out I was looking for these stakes (NL buy-in 10c to 30c or something or 48c FL as given)... so comfortable and right sized risks :f_biggrin: Stars offers 25c 45man SnG and FL 2c/4c, iPoker offers 10c and 20c SnGs.

There was once this famous player pool at Pokerstars FL.04 cashgame ($0.48 buy-in). It consisted of only fish and one regular called "s0und1". That regular was pretty strong and I very often avoided playing at all when he was playing. Then like 6 months later I had learned a ton about NLHE and was more confident in HU spots, he took me HU when I tablestarted but I kept playing him HU instead of sitting out. He got really aggressive and bluffed with air 3 streets like 3 times and got caught all 3 times from me by tp or mid p. Then I also won vs him in 6max by completing a flush or something and then I left Stars 0.48c buy-in FLHE. (I was NLHE 2€ buyin reg back then). Oh boy was he angry and throwing stuff at chat. He was really really tilted, once a strong reg. Always look for those spots, these strong people also have weaknesses.

I remember winning more than +$2000 in few hours in year 2012 in FLHE cashgame. I was playing 5/10 flhe ($120 buyin) at 888.com but there was a huge maniac at 10/20 ($240 buyin). So i went there and completely exploited the maniac, i think the table was mostly 3 to 4 players. I had this prop "bet" with friend that if i make 2k in one day i will give him $200 tourney ticket as a gift. So he drove there to pick me up to volleyball competition, was really in bad mood cause i was slow or something to go to the car, then i told him that i won 2k and he later won +$400 with that $200 ticket. Before that he had lost like -$300 in nl2 (i kept transferring him money back then directly on poker site).
