SkilfulPoker

Thats a good idea nightshopper. I don't think i'm ever going to be a "poker grinder", like someone that plays 8 plus hours a day online to make a living from poker. I really love the game, but when playing for long periods of time over a number of days, I find it loses its appeal a bit and also becomes a bit of a grind. I haven't done that in years, and never at mid stakes, but I think this self awareness is important I'm up like €1100 just from playing cash poker past 8 days online, so even though its not very good bankroll managenent, I'm pretty sure i'm going to play UOS XI main event and the €100 rebuy next weekend, I think it should be an exciting and enjoyable experience, also great motivator to improve my mtt game over the next week or so. I just got to decide how to practice now and what games to mix in , in sessions before. I'm looking forward to getting into the atmosphere of UOS in the community also, see if any members are playing any events going forward or how they have been getting on in any they entered, also watching some training. Have a great Sunday ✌️

Thanks for comments guys, so its Saturday! Despite what I said in my last post, I ended up playing 400nl tonight :happyshy: All my sessions last week were 200nl, and I didnt really fancy playing tonight but wanted to as it's saturday and it seems v bad to call yourself a poker player and not play Friday/Saturday night if you can 400nl definitely held my focus! Here's a hand I captured what do you think of it guys? I have yet another plan for my poker I think im going to stick to. PLAY UOS XI ! My poker plans seems to change as often as the wind changes direction, so might as well play some great games in the process Not sure if im going to try to satalite in, or try to win some from cash games, or maybe buy in direct as done well this week and am up about the entry! Anyone else planning to play it or satelite in? How are you guys finding UOS generally? I havent played any events! I do still have 25 euro ticket to play from the blog mtt also :) Im going away tomorrow for a bit so will have nice calm environment during main event and can also do some mtt study before, so seems like perfect recreation and who knows might get lucky ? Reminds me of this Hopefully it can be one of us

Nice going sounds like things are going nicely for you at the moment, low volume aside :) I found you mentioning the variable frequencies of doing certain actions interesting when you was speaking about the YT player you've been watching. Because, I was looking at this lately, and I kind of decided because unibet tables can be anonymous every day if you want, with changing avatar, on unibet that isn't needed. Was curious to hear what your thoughts were on that? Nice one for playing tonight by the way, I know what it can be like trying to get volume in when doing other things, but it's criminal not to play Friday/Saturday night isn't it

Hey guys, poker has been going pretty well, I played about 5 sessions at 200nl since last post, just 1 tabling. I prefer to one table and focus on the action than playing more than one table. 😃 I just had 1 losing session which is nice, and am up about 4 stacks. Here's latest bankroll: I been thinking a bit lately what I want to do with poker, and I think I might start a challenge to practice learning a bit but without playing 200nl online regular, maybe I'll do a challenge taking 5 buyin shots up, and 10 buyin move down starting at 4nl, to give me something fun to try. Reason I say that is because when I inevitably start losing some stacks at 200nl I think it will be really annoying to me even though its totally part of the process of playing winning poker. I would rather play in a live casino, at least can travel then and see some fun sights instead of your wall and computer but because of covid can't at the moment Hope you all have a great weekend:)

Love this! This is exactly the approach BenCB recommended for the mental game in one of his YouTube videos I watched. Go into each tournament expecting to bust but playing your best! This is very wise as then you aren't disappointed if bust and nice surprise if have deep run! It has a great stoicism idea in it too, of expecting the worst to never be disappointed

🤣 At least you made some players happy Good luck for week ahead!

Yeah I know ;) but you still cashed out like €20 from your previous cashout on the page before right? :)

Great cashing out again on Tuesday! You seem to have a good knack for profit 🆒 :peace:

Great win

Hey good idea to take a break like you did when not feeling motivated! Hope you do good in your next sessions :)

Good luck in the £250 uk tour today mate!

Lol that 52 vs AK hand, sometimes I think these hands a test from the universe at our mental strength

Ak < TT twice ;/ unlucky mate

Ten stacks profit, that's awesome! Well done, have a good weekend :)

lol hi everyone so thought I'd get some goals down for the future and update a bit with where things are at. Life things are going really well. Haven't drank alcohol for over 4 months now and that's a huge journey, learning how to find true contentment in life etc. but moving along nicely :) since winning the last bet i celebrated with you guys, i lost a few bets and also won another good bet so overall profited even more. What I'm even more pleased with is that I had the presence of mind and self awareness to realise these big wins don't come along often in life and I need to make the most of them. So the other day I took time outs on any betting sites i got access to (and took a time out from sports book on Unibet) to avoid the tempation of placing any more bets. When you win a lot it can be tempting to bet again, but that will always end in giving it back unless you know when to stop, so very pleased with my actions there! I treated myself to a new laptop which is great as i can work while travelling now, and I'm planning to get away for a bit soon. When I played in our tournament here in the thread i played from a hotel, as i took a couple of days away to chill :) but am back home now. So here are my goals for poker and this blog in the next month: Play 200nl (yes 200nl!) i think I'm up in the 2 sessions I played but not too sure, played a couple of sessions when away, but anyway going to have a decent go of playing 200nl for a month and see how that goes. Going to deposit like 4 stacks, and if they run out deposit some more. Mix in some Hexapro's if a decent jackpot looks imminent.Improve my game technically each week.Work on the never ending life work of mastering emotions at the table.Play any tickets I get. Cheers have a good weekend all!

Hey thanks a lot @Andy-Unibet

Great work! I think its really good you're tracking your deep finishes must be inspiring to know you have played so well over a sustained period :) Interesting you havent had any discipline issues lately, and really good to read Just wondering if you think there's a reason for that? Do you feel any different when you are playing? Have you changed anything about your sessions / or approach etc? Nice results! Have a good weekend

Hey @Andy-Unibet if this is permitted can you extend these please, if it's not, no worries! Thanks
