hi from czech rep :)

Dobry denn, Pivo!

I guess I know you somehow, but I don't recognize your nickname . Any hints on who you are? I'm not in the office, so can't use my back-office ninja skillz at the moment :(.

Ah yes, I remember! That is my natural response to people from Czech Republic (ask Pavel for confirmation if you want)

Even without pokercamp, you are always welcome to come over! I've got an extra bedroom if you need a place to stay :).

Just had some nice Chinese food, hosting people has it's advantages!

Now starting the grind again! :)

Daily update:

I played 1.5k hands yesterday, so I allowed myself to only play 500 hands today. Again a winning session, would have wanted to play some more but getting quite tired now. Will probably not make 1000 hands tomorrow either, but for sure make another 1.5k day on thursday again to ballance it out!

Thanks for all your activity in the blog btw, guys! Don't worry about overloading it ;)

Why not play 1.5k again today and leave yourself more time for the end of the month?! :rolleyes:

Thanks for your trust, James!

On a serious note, I'ts going to be expensive enough as it is!

@ Emanuel, with the coach surfer over for today/tomorrow, I'm grinding from home on my (15''?) laptop instead of my 2x 24'' monitors in the office or my 2x26'' monitors at home (which are in the couchsurfers bedroom)

I much prefer grinding with a proper setup rather than a small laptop monitor.

Very well played sir. Very high chance that was me because I started HU50 on Party Poker three days ago. And I remember losing a stack this way. I have to check my HH once I'm done at work

Edit: if someone joined your table thats most likely not me, I usually wait for fish :f_p:

Pics or it didn't happen:

Going home now, will grind a few hundred hands from there again.

At 7738 hands now, where I have 8 days to turn this into 15.000. This means that if I play just 262 hands today, I'm back on schedule for my 1000 hands/day. I'd prefer to be ahead though, let's see how long I can motivate myself to grind on the laptop today.

@ ragney, sorry if I took your money _cool:. Hope you don't steal all my action, but GL at the tables!

Is couchsurfers legit? Hoe waren de francaises dan???

Hoe balance je dit met poker, you just tell them like ''Look at me I'm Melvin Tha PokerPlayer'' :f_cool:

Yo Melvin,

They use the word vbet here on the english forum, do they mean the action that wel call c-bet on the dutch forum?

Or does vbet means somithing else? (what i think)

vbet is a value bet, cbet is a continuation bet, for our slang.
