2 winning sessions in a row, guess that means I'm ready to move up.

Zero to tilt in 20 minutes.




Then internet connection dropped. Probably for the best. Shitty way to end a decent week.

Hi Gordon! How many hands are u playing per day ?
Nice thread btw

Thanks. Not many, aiming for 5k hands per week but only hitting about 3k at the mo. Probably about 50:50 playing:studying. I tilt bad so when the above happens that's prob 1k hands down for the week.

I've had a few graphs looking like like lately and I to was supposed to be moving up soon. Patience required and decisionfocus is all we can do.

Run better, make sure it stays fun and gl.

Shitload of bots? + even recs know how to fast fold till good hand? I haven't played speed for a long time though.

I was part if the "moving up" team also, but went on a downswing. I still feel I'll be there next time off. I called my journey Moving On Up and I haven't been doing much of that

@MilfGrinder@BarraBod The good thing is I feel like the biggest barrier to me moving up is myself. If I can fix my mental game I think I can definitely beat 4/5NL.

Not sure if you have seen yet but congrats on getting 1000 views of your thread buddy. Shows how many people are reading it and following your journey. Really sick man

Awesome

Damn blue line won't make it's mind up!

Laptop has died. I'm sad 😔

On another note, I've been reading The Mental Game of Poker. Couple of chapters really hit the nail on the head with how I feel and react not just playing poker, but in life in general. I've always had a short temper, it's probably my biggest fault, especially as a dad. I've seen my kids scared because of how I'm behaving and believe me that shit will make you feel like the scum of the earth! It's gotten worse the last few months, to a point where I felt so tense and wound up all the time, ready to either snap or cry at any moment. Even when I was having a laugh or a joke with someone I still felt it. My girlfriend was worried, I was worried. Obviously this made playing poker difficult and also me a complete arse to live with.

So anyways I had a few revelations and realisations while reading the book. Felt like my eyes were opened. I won't go into specifics from the book but let's just say I feel like I am better prepared to handle life and poker when things don't play out exactly as I want.

My last post, laptop breaking, happened yesterday. It was about ten minutes before I realised I hadn't gone into a fucking rage, which believe me would normally be the case. It then occurred to me that I hadn't felt angry at all in a few days. Quite amazing given my recent temperament. I know it's early days, but today I can happily say...

"Hi group, my name is Jon, it's been 4 days since I last lost my temper."

haha wp on not losing your tempter buddy.

You watched any of our elliot roe podcasts on here? He is the number 1 in the mindset world and a lot of top pros hire him for 1-1s. Would like to know your thoughts on it

I haven't but I will check them out and feed back.

Sweet man. People literally pay this guy $100's per hour for just mental help guidance so i am sure his podcasts will be perfect for you. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on them

Laptop's fixed!!!

Welcome back! Ready to crush November?

Oh yes. Played some tourneys last night, no success. Poker study tonight then I'll play a decent session tomorrow night. Tuesday evenings seem to have good action for some reason.

Same old same old.
