i'm sure there's a math or logic error in me withdrawing to a thin online roll, then moving up in stakes - but it's never really been a problem |

time to get some volume on. Days when i'm not doing uber-cool shit i've gotta get some hands in. I mean, this is all sorts of stakes from 10nl to 200nl and wtf i could easily have played twice the hands this year without too much impact on quality of life. Sure, buying a house took time. So has loads of weekends away climbing. But.... treat it more like a job now that it's winter = that's the plan... |

mostly mixing 25nl and 50nl at the moment. Up 50 buyins at the tables. I've played on half of the days in may so far. That's about appropriate, 2-6 hrs/day, 3-4 days/week. The most amusing hand of late was this one. I mean, he's ahead the whole way some of the time, but probably not often enough to keep calling |

so far i'm up more bb than last month, and at a higher average stake (lowest games played = 25nl, but that's also where i've played most hands this month, and don't think i'll change that before month=end). I was still hoping for 100bi table profits a few days ago, but that -11bi dumpswing has made that unlikely now. I'm still saving my fpps... |

so i went nato on volume the last few days cos i wanted to hit 100buyins for the month. Instead i just started playing loads of hands at c-game. |

i started today's session with a roll of about 38 buyins for the stake i was playing. At some point i was 16-tabling, 7 deep ante and the rest 100bb tables plus on a couple of waitlists. A seat came up at one of the tables, i clicked to take it, only to get a message that i did not have enough available funds to sit. Minor concern, but a quick check showed that the session had been profitable up until that point. My average stack across all my tables? +/- 300bb. Poker is weird. Guess i need to start rolling deeper if i'm going to get involved in so many big pots... |

cheers, this nit-truckin' ain't so bad when you start to get the hang of it. I played a whole session of prefllop fullring nittery and i even managed to keep most of my postflop wtf?!?! under control. I did lose a stack via check-shoving one gutshot + backdoor + overcard that probably could have been check-folded... Then again, he tanked long and hard before calling with a pretty nutty overpair. But the rest was pretty standard, lost a couple of 90-10s but also won some flips. About 1.5bi behind on the lolev. Barely up a buyin over the session, but it's in the black, so i'll take it. |

blah blah just remember you are supposed to lose 96-4s and 99.6-0.4s at least some of the time, and that shoving nut flushes on unpaired turns isn't always printing money in the short-term/moan |

worth trying all options imo, except that in nz it is illegal to buy or sell trout, so i have to catch it myself. If i was over there i'd hit up some freshly caught sea trout caught off the reefs near townsville, and expect good things |

life is mostly coffee, climbing, and running at the moment. I was hoping to run 100km this week, but it ain't gonna happen cos i got a blister and i'm slower than i thought. I may end up running around 8hrs total (4.5hrs from 4 days so far), heaps of that is on sand at the beach and other off-road so it's probably going to be around 80-90ish km. Still a heavy wakeup call for my legs. Loving it. |

I'm struggling with the health of my attitude towards variance in poker right about now... to the point that i finally updated my cv to include poker - hard to leave that out given that it's been my only source of income for over three years now. But things aren't so bad that i'm doing anything with that cv just yet |

the half on Sunday was fun. Didn't manage to go as fast as i had hoped over the last 6km cos obviously, but was super-stoked with life within ten minutes of finishing regardless. Came home and a bunch of people turned up to drink beer in the sun and bask in endorphine glow. Rode into town for the prize-giving + recovery leg stretch, rode home later after more beer etc. Monday was recovery, so 10km on the bike, then a 12km run with a few friends, then a ride home (my poor car is being neglected!), then donned my wetsuit and walked down to the beach cos i saw a big front approaching - managed to be in the ocean chaos ducking between weird rips and whitewater as the front rolled on in. Headed home in a hailstorm to spend the afternoon finishing a re-read of the bone people - one of darkest, saddest, and most hauntingly beautiful books i've ever had the pleasure to share my time with. Then good food in front of a warm fire. Today it's a mixture of hail and snow, cheers spring! think it's going to be a poker-grind day. I'm glad i postponed planting out seedlings/seeds until the coming weekend, everything that's already growing should be tough enough to survive this storm. I hope. |

passing through chiang mai for the second time this trip. Successfully made it up to Huay Pakoot from here about ten days ago via a combination of local bus/sungtao/hitching. Spent some good time living in the village hanging with my friends and their two kids. Did cool things. Ate good food. Smiled loads. Had an adventure involving a big limestone cliff that had never been climbed on before. Stuff, basically. |

one of my goals for november and december is to spend at least 20% of my poker time studying - with full attention, using appropriate tools. Poker forum hand history stuff won't count as part of that. Nor will watching poker vids. So far since i got back i've spent about 40% of my poker time on study, mostly checking in on some ideas i had while i was in Thailand. I feel like i'm getting better at poker again. Which is necessary cos lfdo. |
