tldr if you have a really short attention span

Cliffs: Took some time off poker, but playing again now, life is good


April:



Playing hu plo across more than 1 site, generally playing anyone that will join unless I already have action and trying to have quick stoplosses against good regs. Things went my way

May:



Decided to invest the time that winning buys you into learning 6max plo (something I've played very little of lifetime, I was always a hu specialist since July 2010 when I decided to quit nlhe and focus 100% on learning plo) and played mainly on stars. Things did not go my way.


Well this is probably the least phased I've been after such a trainwreck of a month and I guess having life balance is to thank for that. Ofcourse there are feelings of extreme stress and frustration immediately after repeated losing sessions but that's something we all have to deal with, just part of the territory. Luckily for me it goes away the next day. I know I'm pretty terrible right now compared to how good some players are and how good I believe I can be, but in this moment I really like that humbling feeling of making mistakes, failing, losing and being human. It gives you a goal to aim to. I really like the idea of continual self improvement and doing a little every day to become better. Ofcourse it's impossible to keep that up literally every single day, sometimes you just need a break, but if you're moving forward in general I think it feels better than if you're not. Guess I'll just hope June goes better^^

By the way while I'm happy to and want to share this stuff with the LP community, I feel kind of uncomfortable about the fact that anyone from outside is able to google and find this sort of info about me and so I'd like to ask mods not to "feature" any blog I make on the lp front page, and probably will ask to have this deleted in a few months/years. I do wanna share it with you guys though and enjoy when a lot of you share what you're up to as well. Quick shoutout to a couple LPers I've met and/or begun talking to a lot this year - David (locoo20) is an epic gentleman and talented player in poker and life. Thanks for showing me around in Lima mate! And Quentin (mipwnya) likewise is the man.

Great movie. Loved that ending, wasn't expecting it at all.

Did you consider learning PLO at non-nosebleed stakes? maybe? nahhhh. Sick graphs.

I've recently discovered memorisation techniquies, they are really helping me with life improvement. e.g, I never run out of things to say in conversation when meeting new people now. never forget anyones name, etc

I wouldn't play in any games I didn't think I have a chance at beating Ofcourse there's a fine line between confidence and overconfidence/delusion that you always gotta watch out for. I can get temporarily overconfident very easily when things are going well which is probably a significant leak. It's important to have some belief in yourself though. For me Fast Eddie in the video clip represents the ideal competitive mindset. Dat self belief, and look how he's smiling after he breaks like hes so happy to just play, so boss.

Thanks I'll check out those techniques, sounds like you've found a pretty good application for those skills

Hey Ket :D I remember, one of my earliest SC:BW memories is playing a game against you on Luna, you proxy gated me ^.^

Since you're in London, you should come watch the Starcraft II world championship series UK finals end of June at BAFTA, Piccadilly. Not many old school UK BW players have qualified, just me and Stone (yenlei) but should be fun.

If your interested theres some info on it here
