REALLY enjoying myself so far...

I'm still down about 4BI after a bit over 3K hands. (losses from my massively bad first session)

But I'm having fun and trying some new things, like underbetting to induce a raise vs certain opponents.



I still get that feeling like I'm folding to too many 3bets... but at 10NL that feeling is most likely incorrect and I'm folding enough/not enough.

I too bustoed, 5Bi of 20NL seemed a tad too aggressive. GOGOGOGGOGOGO

Not a fan! I watched an old Sigur Ros video I hadn't seen for a while though and everything was ok again.

Pretty sure you owe me money now.

this.

i find myself anticipating my daily sessions more everyday. i've always been bad with taking long breaks between bursts of play. and i'm always rusty even with 1 day off, and it takes me another day or two to settle down. but then i'm breaking again for a few days, and the cycle repeats. and because i don't play regularly, i push myself too hard when i am playing (playing a bit too tired, playing a bit too long).

but this. this is something entirely different. there's an easy comfort knowing i will play again tomorrow, of just doing the necessary things for tomorrow instead of being desperate in the now in fear of not knowing when i'll play again. i never understood the following quote quite as acutely as right now.

"If I neglect my practice a day, I see the difference in my execution; if for two days, my friends see it; and if for a week, all the world knows my failure."

noo grindcore why don't you play nl400 than

I guess I can but that kinda defeats the point of the challenge and it's not really fair towards the rest imo since it's either quick bust or almost guaranteed win.

oh you mean just from 100$ bracket?you are still in the 1000$ bracket right

No I mean the $1000 bracket. I'm not even in the $100 bracket because the rules didn't allow it.

what stakes do you normally play

I would imagine that the challenge is hugely - EV for GC to play in anyway

Yeah I agree, because you don't really have a level playing field if people like us are playing 400 because I think it's really trying to be a $1000ish roll challenge and clearly playing 400nl is requiring a much larger roll than 1000.
