dunno, after -18 or so it just feels the same - aka you don't feel a thing anyway, whether it's -18 or -25 xD

@jb > obv worst combo is when it snows and then it rains - you get the ugliest possible thing (snow alone can be kinda cool, I heard people make snowmen and stuff out of it;; rain kinda sucks alone as well, though it can be refreshing and liberating at times :))

Snow can be nice but not for this long. I mean the snow has been around for weeks already, maybe even a month? and it will without a doubt stay until march/april...

-5c is okay, but -18 and more is just crazy. You go outside, you take a breath and your noze freezes and sticks together when you breath in, then unsticks when you breath out because of the warmer air. It then sticks together again when you breath in. I had to wear my scarf over my face. How disturbing is that :f_confused:

If you live in scandinavia you would be annoyed by the snow and cold weather allready, yet the winter has just begun.

Ok, time for a small update. Didn't play any poker yesterday, but I have played today.

I am working on my "grinding"-ability. I need to get more used to long sessions without losing focus and without tilting. I also started playing 6-8 tables (normally 6) because I need to learn to play 6 I think if I wanna get in enough volume.

Today went pretty good, didn't make many major mistakes and I played 3 hours straight or something. I didn't tilt either, so that's very good.

Hand count: 5,930/25,000 +1816 hands
FTP count: 8,129/80,000 +1185 FTP

Soon my first MiniFTOPS starts. Gonna play some other MTT's aswell. Lets ship it! :f_love:

-19c is super standard over here.

-35c (or -45c with windchill) was the breaking point to cancel school when i was in highschool. and yes, we did manage to get school canceled many, many times.

coldest day i can remember in highschool was -57c.

I was scared. Horrified. I was nervous.

I collected strengt. I collected courage.

I faced it, and it backfired. I sank. I sank to very bottom.

I couldn't breath. The pain got to me. I paniced. The tears were burning. I got overwhealmed. I cried. I broke down. I fell into pieces.

And then, I went numb.

I turned to myself, I looked for answers. I found them. I found glue. I started picking up pieces. Glewing myself together.

I threw away what pieces were broken.

And soon, I will rise from the ashes. I will stand strong. Stronger then ever.

I will be the last one standing.

I am turning into a little grinding machine it seems :f_p:

Never really thought I have what it takes for it (get to emotional and bored after a while and disciplin is lacking).

I just spent like 2-3 hours grinding and it went great. 1600 hands and the night aint over yet

In a while the 20$ 1r1a miniftops starts aswell, but I think I'm gonna mix some MTT and CG. Seems like a good idea.

Taking it easy this weekend and just grinding + spending some time with family. Next weekend (a long weekend) is going to be crazy with drinking action and livegames. Rly looking forward to that!

After today my total for december now stands at

Hand count: 9183/25,000 +3253 hands
FTP count: 9821/80,000 +1692 FTP

~16k hands to go. Maybe I'll even make the 10k hands for the weekend like I wanted to. That would be awesome.

Oh and btw I ran like a godess today lol. I never had as many sets as today... It's not just because of the volume I'm quite sure, I ran good in general. One of those days where you run so good you start thinking it's kinda freaky

It's very entertaning though and it makes grinding so easy :f_biggrin:

I really give myself respect for not looking at my cashier either. Even after all these hands, and after a day like this I'm not even tempted to check. I'm really getting good on the way towards a very professional attitude and discipline. :)

Ok, no more cashgames this weekend. My head hurts so I can't bare to play anymore. I did reach 6k hands! Even 7 :) It's very nice for a weekend for me.

so it brings my total to:

Hand count: 12871/25,000 +3688 hands
FTP count: 7947/80,000 -1874 FTP

I used some FTP's to buy into the superturbo event the other day, that's why they've decreased a bit.

Now soon the 33$ superstack event starts, which I'm gonna play. Also gonna play the PCA ladies qualifier in half an hour, to try to win a new package and get it payed in T$. Would be quite nice.

Wish me luuuck!

xx vonki :heart:
