Love the mix of poker vs life in this blog. Keep up the good work.
Been roasting/grinding/french pressing my own coffee lately and drinking some tasty local IPA beer. Ah... the good life.

my setup is pretty simple, clear-ish desk with laptop and monitor taking pride of place. Wall behind so no distractions there. Swiss ball cos it's better than a fancy chair., |

Sorry to hear your walking and bicycling days have been held up, hope it gets better sooner so you don't slow that metabolism and become overweight like a lot of poker grinders do, lol. |

I think I would just call the flop, then now take a free one. | |

Thanks for taking the time out to respond in such detail - really appreciated. I think the conditions you mention pretty much confirm the conditions and set-up I need to mirror if I'm going to play my best. | |

@ m2m, cheers, yeah, now that you mention it a free card on flop or turn makes a lot of sense in that KQ hand, i was hoping for too thin value but instead just put myself in a spot that was unnecessary and no fun. |

I bought some nova bonus $$ with my stars feeps then withdrew most of my stars roll today, it's time to go to full tilt poker to grind using all those ftp points i've got. I'll keep playing stars until i figure out the details, but i'll probably just buy 16 $200 ring game tickets and start playing plus clearing some bonus. |

Woot. I just activated my deal me in bonus on FTP and bought a whole pile of ring game tickets (after FTP told me in no uncertain terms that my original points to cash plan would result in my account being closed... unfortunate). Cash balance on FTP has increased 600% since three hours ago as a consequence of ring game tickets having a max ticket value etc. |

simultaneously playing the maximum number of tables on stars and ftp is not smart |

yo daven, if you dont mind me asking, why is it you choose to grind a living out of microstakes instead of moving up? i mean you've beat 10-50nl for a very healthy winrate for many years over (i assume) many millions of hands, are you tempted to move up? do you think your hourly is better playing many tables at smaller stakes vs say 14 tables of 100nl? | |

poker is done and dusted for me in 2012. Results? sufficient to support myself and pay the mortgage and travel some and have a few weeks off etc. Insufficient to be stoked about the year of poker. |

Don't know what it is about this thread that attracts spam but I closed it. If Daven needs it open he can ask any mod. | |
