i'm pretty sure that by nature i'm a pretty leaky player. what i mean by this is, if i were sitting 500x all the time, everything that i do would be perfect, but sitting 100x effective my tendency is to want to play far more often than is mathematically correct.
a better way of putting it would be that i seek out confrontation in all forms at the table constantly, because i like poker and i like the socially acceptable form of fucking with people that is pokar.
this is not a bad thing. the problem is that when i start to add tables, the counterbalancing mechanisms that i use to keep myself in check and to play more mathematically correct than is in my instinctive game mode start to break down. over time, this leads to significant leaks.
now, it's fine that i'm physically able to handle 15+ tables and play 10k+ hands in a day whenever i feel like it. there are certainly circumstances in which these skills become useful. last month for instance, i faced imminent bankroll death and this was the best way out, so i did it. it's no big deal.
if i want to continue to build upon what i've learned lately i think that it would be best if i continue to 4 table, stay aware of what i'm doing at all times and why, and try to maintain an aggressive mindframe in terms of taking shots and minimizing my general expenses, with the goal of accelerating my stakes progress as rapidly as possible while also inhibiting general leak formation; alextexe1ra and wcgrider and that other guy showed me alot and i want to build off of what i learned, not regress and have to plug leaks for the sake of playing alot of tables just because i can as i go nowhere fast.
going to play lots of mtts today and see how i do in those...if anyone is playing a lot of the sun mtts and wants to swap a % or anything i would be down. I used to swap all the time in MTTs with Drakk on here but he no longer plays MTTs atm so i need someone new that wants to swap PM me
and if anyone wants to stake me in the higher buy in MTTS i would also be down for that
shit was just unpossible today although i do feel that i successfully lost the minimum.
then snider showed up and offered a flip for 124 and ofc he autoboxed it.
o and i bricked 6 more donkaments. and then i registered for the loathsome 100fpp jammament and i have a whopping 9.8x with 558 remaining as of this moment. i hate this fucking jammament so much that i feel that stars owes me a win in this loathsome jammament in recognition of how much i loathe it.

Welp I made the long ass drive all the way from PA to NC. Got all the internet and TV and shit all hooked up today. Everything is very nice down here. The beach is 2 blocks away, gas station is about 2 min walk and they sell beer and everything right at it (which is something u cant do in PA) The girl working the counter looked at me when I was surprised to see alcohol in the store. But its going to be lots of fun living in my new location. Time to get some mad grinds on to have more money to enjoy everything here
i just loaded up 21 tables on stars specifically to see if everything that i thought i saw would be exactly wrong.
it was.
i had to be sure. i have a bit of a cold, and i am confident that heavy multitabling is responsible for my gradual loss of form over the past few weeks. at the present moment i am fundamentally incapable of handling rapid sucessive decisions without also losing control of my handle on myself.
it's not the hours. it's the continual processing of information combined with the need to check myself again and again as i play specifically because my instincts in cash are not excellent. it's only when i am calm and have mostly stepped outside of myself and proceed to observe the happenings that i perform well in this format. that and the fact that there's nothing that i won't do tactically. that's where the control comes in. at the present moment i continually fail to step outside myself and i also lack control over myself, leading to tunnel vision and frequent missteps.
because my play is so volatile, an hour of suck at 2SD can basically be a days worth of wins through controlled violence as i run only slightly bad.
well come sun morning i will be on the rd to NC. I got a sweet beach condo 2 block away from the coastal shore line. I will have a nice beach and some lakes behind my house if i feel like walking outside and doing some fishing. Everything is all set up for my new place for monday so today will be the last night i can grind til monday. Its sad to say that almost my whole life fits into my small ass little sports car. Not looking forward to the 10 hr dr from PA but whatever 10 hrs and ill be living at the beach not a bad trade off. Ill post some pics when i get there and get everything all set up this is going to be a fun trip and one of the nicest places ive ever lived so im pretty pumped about it.
still can't get my table load high enough, at least not without exploding my brain with 5 different HU opponents.
from here it's either A) add in 20bb min tables and calculate the effective stack every single time i want to play a hand, nevermind actually playing it, or B) improve HU play, cutting into VPP earning time, or C) play bigger.
ok, gna play bigger. whenever a limit jump is feasible, nevermind reasonable or intelligent, i will take it. go big or go home. what's the worst that can happen, i have to drop down and go on to vaporize the smaller game?
Fairly close to trading my gf's apartment for one in Stockholm.
For the swedes (en 2:a på 47kvm i Malmö, för en 3:a på 85kvm på den bästa adressen på söder(malm) - håll tummarna!!!!!)
Today Malmö FF is playing their first league game at home, and im really really stoked. Our club is celebrating their 100th birthday this year, and I'm very optimistic.
