Jon-PokerVIP: OPL S07 starting Sept 1st - more info coming soon
Excited?
Does the pope shit in the woods?! The answer is yes. Yes he does.
Planning on playing every possible tournament I am free to and streaming all of them. But I'm also planning on an alcohol free month in September so I could be one bad tempered motherfucker.
Really enjoyed this cash session. Things went terribly to begin but I felt really confident with my play. Decided to grind it out til midnight and managed to get back to break even. Then my last hand brought the good ole Aces. Got them in vs Kings and flopped trips to end another session in profit.
A legend in the game of getting unstuck and insta qutting the session.
As for the OPL we are setting it up a little differently this year to help our players stay motivated...for example most tournaments run Thurs-Mon with Tue/Wed off and most nights have multiple events.

Thought's?
Haters gon' hate
I like it. It's hard to play every day and multiple events makes it more fun. Looking forward to it.
Friday night's full stream video is up on Youtube. This was a fun session but I really need to drink less!! Slurring my words, falling asleep and timing out all over the place! But I did min cash so that makes 3 for 3.
Yeh respect if you can stream and still show a good profit, I tried it a year or so ago, and went from playing my A game, to something I'll kindly describe as my E game overnight

I make so many more mistakes while streaming, especially when I'm drunk. But it's fun and doesn't seem to hurt my bankroll. Looking forward to streaming during the OPL. Hoping I can string some cashes together.
Played some Headsup NL10 vs a friend tonight, only a few hundred hands. Ended up half a buy in. At the same time I played another guy who I stacked a couple of times. Every time I won a few hands he left the table and sat on another. That made me think. I know it's every player's choice to play when and who they want. But the guy is sat there waiting for someone to play. No other tables running, and I checked he wasn't also playing other stakes. So I kept joining his table, win a bit, then he leaves. What's the point sitting around waiting to play and refusing to play someone just because they're not a walkover? Anyways so I had another profitable session. This month is going well.
From what I've heard, that's called bumhunting. I've also heard some sites have or were going to, put a stop to it but I can't verify that; maybe it was scripting though.
Playing drunk must be yet another skill I lack, I have to close one eye and that screws up my 44 into AA and I go broke. Show this man some respek!

Making money? But seriously, what you're describing is basically the reason why head's up cash games are dying. Bumhunting driven to the extreme alienates the recreational players and the games are drying up. That being said, rake at NL10 head's up cash games is so huge that games might be unbeatable even with bumhunting.

Yeh I know it's obvious. I just didn't realise some players would take it to that extreme at such low stakes. There's just no action headsup and like you said the rake is huge. Just sit at a 6 max table on Sky and you'll be playing vs 4 fish and 1 bad reg, no need for bumhunting. Funny thing was the guy was doing everything that would have you marking him a fish. Who he's playing against is the least of his problems.
Cash session from last night. It was a bit of a crazy one. Pocket queens in 3bet and 4bet pots getting hammered on the flop. Kings all in pre losing to Ax of nothing. But then the good old Jacks hit a set on the river to stack aces so I can't complain.
I'm still single tabling NL5 speed so I'm not getting a lot of hands in. But it seems to be paying off with my win rate. I'm just shy of 3k hands now, I'll post a graph at 10k.
