Super sexy small bet there!

To overcome the tiredness there are certain things to try

1. What foods/drinks are you consuming up until this point?
2. How many hours of sleep are you getting each night in the first place?
3. Would 10 minutes of exercise benefit you more than a nap?

Yeh gotta love the PLO content out there right now. Personally i am pretty addicted to the JNandez streams!!!

Thanks Jon!

1. For breakfast I usually have toasts and 1/2 l of water, then I take a coffee before I start to grind. No more food until lunch.
2. I need ~9h of sleep to feel fully functional. I have a problem with falling asleep since I'm clearly the night guy and my brain gets very active (owl - was this the English name for that?). My sleep is not very tight and I usually wake up many times.
3. Exercising right after eating is not the best option you can do for yourself - you will often feel the good old needling pain in the stomach / getting close to throwing up

(I don't have experience with just 10 min exercises though, but in general it's a no-no thing.)

Yeah, JNandez is cool, watched him only once, but I've heard the story of him pouring his pee bottle content over his head on the stream haha (not sure it's true tho).

Random question - is anyone here using a pee bottle?

Personally I'm not, but was very close to it one day..

I personally took a leaf out of Sauce's book and utilise my time banks - building them up for when I need to piss and then let them run for a couple of minutes while a go, More GTO than the pee bottle imo.

@Hitchhiking Yeah, time banks are very gto and I exploited this approach when played on iPoker. But on 888 there are no auto-time banks, so it creates a tough spot when tables are juicy.

Nvm this.. Unlocked this experience during the last night grind!

Digits looks terrifying, but 6 BI swung in 2k hands is prolly pretty much standard. Played OK (except a few hero calls vs fun players), many coolers, bluffs didn't work, draws bricked, so nothing much I could do.

Won earlier the day, so down just 3.5 BI's.

Pee bottle definitely IS GTO, because today I made 416$ thanks to it (most profitable day ever). ~8h of grind, 2.5k hands. Pretty happy of myself that yesterdays beat up had no effect on me today.

Gotta love The Hive network, but these guys have the capability of getting me on the monkey tilt.

EUR table btw.

Life achievement - first +1k$ week ever! [X]

Destroyed NL50 tables. Put in 22.5h of play Fri-Sun and results came along. I finally found that poker feeling I had lost since April, when I grinded 30-40h a week. No more quitting early when I've already won 'a lot' in a session. I played 2-3x more hands this weekend than in rest of September.

Also, I've cut down my tables to just 4 (regular tables) - clearly a good move, since now I can exploit regs / fun players much much better.

+~35$ in PLO which is not shown in graph.

Sick week man congrats!

Was this on 888 or hive or a combination BTW?

Very nice good to see a player doing well, lets hope it continues. WP.

Thanks! I'm just warming up.

@CrazyCookie Yeah it's a combination of both.

Holy smokes that is one sexy graph and a ton of grinding! How did you feel around the 7k hands mark when the downswing hit? I always find this is the make or break of any grind. Can either just keep going south and demotivate you or will motivate you to smash it and upswing.

Really great work man and anyone reading this should take note - hard work = success.

I was pretty pissed at that point because 90/0 players who pot donked 3 streets took all my monies. But I knew I played well, kept going and thankfully hit my upswing.

I don't get it, ppl should know already that I don't really fold..

Grinded 9h 45min (!!!!!) today, which is my new PB! Made like 160, but didn't even beat the rake.. Raked 190$.

Winners never quit and quitters never win! The journey title quote becomes a relevant quote. Pow!

I like people with a big heart!

BEAT: Seems I got scammed in my Hive RB deal (not PokerVIP). Not 100% certain yet, but looks so, therefore I won't receive ~150 eur worth extra RB for Aug-Sep.. Bitches. Will update full details when it's all clear.

Oh no i guess it was some friend or friend of a friend who offered you some Skrill payment thing or something like that?
