Ok this is really weird. Carrot's flatmate has this super moody fat ginger cat and we hate each other. I pull her tail and she slices my arms. Vying over Carrot love imo. She has now been sat on my lap for like 40 mins purring away and giving me kisses. I know she's unwell atm but this must be serious if she's actually coming to me for some attention!

Well, I haven't been able to grind much of late due to still not having interwebs. I am so unhappy with my new provider - 3 weeks it has been so far and potentially another 3 before we're live again. The first two weeks were held up because they couldn't figure out what number my building was even though I had already informed them or how to pick up a telephone to ask. If they weren't so damn cheap I would insta cancel and find someone else. Been using a pay as you go public provider and it's shit. Signal comes and goes and it's the most tilting thing ever so I haven't been able to take advantage of my platinum status this month to rake in FPPs.

I have however managed to grind a little and it has been going much better due to both running better and being forced to spend more time working on my game off the tables. I've been inspired by Carrot's hand review thread and I'm planning to start one of my own. Decided that'll be a new op to keep general poker revelations and rants about life separate.

Two recent revelations.

One I always knew: I am an aggro spew tard. I bet in places where I shouldn't. I like to "take down pots" even though I have showdown value and instead inflate pots and lose myself monies over the long term. I've toned this down a bit, but it's still a major leak I need to work on.

Two. I should be 3betting more IP. I obv 3bet for value vs tighter opens, but all my 3bet bluffing was reserved for when I was defending blinds oop. I've started finding good spots to 3bet bluff on the BU. It used to be the case that my ideal seating arrangement was fish on my right for easy stacking and nits on my left for blind stealing. Now it's looser regs on my right and fishies on my left.

That's all for now. Gotta move this fatty off my lap and get on with the day! Hope everyone's doing well at the tables!
