@MetalWolf Terrific story, brilliant outcome, who says you don't need luck? (I love a bit of background, it seems to make it more real.)

As for greatest misclick ever, well I didn't win as much as you but I nearly had a heart attack. I won 50 dollars of free spins on P****S**** about 5 years ago, and being a complete novice I spent about an hour looking what to play. I can't remember what I ended up on but found a game that looked good. The little box at the bottom said $5 so I thought, "OK, ten free spins, we'll see what happens" and pressed the button. Shock, horror, dismay and panic all rolled into one as the whole $50 dollars disappeared, it was ten lines at $5 a line. :waterfall::waterfall: About ten seconds of absolute agony followed then "BIG WIN, You Have Won $500" 🤣🤣🤣

I was a bit naughty, told my wife I'd won $300 dollars and "shared"  it with her. 🤫 Needless to say I blew the rest. Don't do the same, use it wisely.👍

 

 

 

Patience is a virtue, but only sometimes.

That's made my day.😃

Haha thanks @GR1ZZL3R great story yourself too. I’ve been caught out in the past by similar ‘misleading’ slots too but not to that extent and they didn’t have a happy ending either! Lol 

Certainly don’t plan to blow it. Paid myself a ‘well done’ bonus and kept most in to carry on the grind at the next level up. I really want to stop using poker for extra little life funds and get back to a level where I can compete for more serious money.

@MetalWolf  you just prove (not only yourself) that you can/should do it! :popeye:

Another effect is that you adjust your this year stats into much more 'relevant' way now! I think that you are a very competent player, nearly as good as me 🤣

 

EDIT: you should maybe consider (just think about) playing some higher MTTs occasionaly -> not talking about Supernova directly ... but who knows, let's see what happen next time :cash: like your story also for 'parent' aspect of play! :inlove:

Thanks @MadAdo 

Years ago I had the roll and backing to play anything upto 220 with the occasional 500 live event thrown in. But these days with a family to look after, full time work, and without backing, I play at a much lower level. Still, my usual stakes would be around €25 buyin but this year especially I've just been working harder at the day job and withdrawing bankroll for life luxeries. My aim is now to get back up to that €25 mark by the end of the year and hopefully continue to build from there.

Bit of bad run since the nova. Only to be expected I guess.

It's challenging switching your mind to be able to deal with say €20 losses over a day playing in €1/2 tournaments to dealing with €100 losses playing €5/10. It's all relevant to bankroll but naturally induces more panic. 

Will do a stat update later today so I can record the lovely looking profit increase before I manage to give it all back :haha:

I haven’t played poker in nearly a week and I’m itching to.

its not my fault - my laptop broke at the start of the week.  It’s going into repair today.

I can confirm that the cause of break was non-poker related.

Surprisingly.

Haha @XY that was actually a good representation of what my kid did to my last laptop!

Finally I have something to play on again and I’m getting back to the grind. And I need to be serious now. There’s a lot of poker related stuff I want to do towards the end of the year and getting the money for it all starts now!

Played disastrous on the Supernova nano final table. I’m so bad. Over €100 overlay in that. Strange that it doesn’t get anywhere near guarantee. 

Other than that had a few decent cashes. Small profit today. Annoyed to go out Exoplanet in the money QQ to Q10 but ok whatever we go again tomorrow.

Profit update ahead of what should be an epic grind day to make up for my lack of action during the week. Profit still going in the right direction which is pleasing. Feeling good about my game at the moment overall so hopefully it's a good day and we can breach that 3k profit margin!

Well had to stop prematurely on Sunday due to a succession of bad beats. Felt it was better to cut the losses. So I’ve gone on holiday to relax and prepare for a September grinding starting with the bounty badlands leaderboards.

Im back, hardly refreshed, hating work and as such I turn my attentions to poker. So I'll do a profit update instead and then get on this bounty grind. Did I break the 3k margin finally?

Of course I did 😀

Decent first day of it. Finished the night with 3rd in the Dwarf star and leaderboard positions returning about €71 as it stands. Not top of my game today and a tad disappointed I didn't close out a few things. But nethertheless it's a good start and it's so much harder when anyone with just a chip more than you is willing to call allin's on 8 3.

Falling down the leaderboards due to a terrible Wednesday grind and missing poker to see the mighty Wolves brush aside Torino and qualify for Europe last night!

However, today has started well with a mad run of winning 8 of 10 hexa5's and making €110 profit in the process. I hope it continues onto the bounty grind!

Let's go!

€252 of play yesterday €252 of cashes. Guess I should be reasonably happy but was a horrendous day luck wise. 

Sitting 

34th- nano

33rd- low

18th - high

Only hit about 7/11/8 results respectively out of the 20 allowed so hopefully I can rocket up a bit more!

lets go again!

Did a small win in a tournament I hadn’t planned to play because now I’m sleep deprived at work 😪

That was a nano bounty but unfortunately the high level was awful to me yesterday. So positions are as follows.

high - 21st 10 results

low - 17th 15 results

nano - 22nd 13 results

i have a feeling work is going to stop me progressing much higher on each board but I’m going to do my best for one final push!
