it's been a really bad week

Well I guess I'll recap the GUKPT main. I survived till about 30mins from the end of day 1b. I don't think I played very well at all, not redic bad but definitely about 3/10. I don't think I got myself into all the right situations that I could have. The start of the day was actually really fun. We played 5/6 handed (on a ten handed table when it's full!) with highlandfox and Sam Trickett.

This was really good, there were dead blinds out there and I had position on Sam. He's obviously been on a super heater recently, crushing all super high roller $100k+ buyin tournaments for... well millions. Anyway a £1590 GUKPT is obviously not all his main concern and he was going for it in every spot, especially at the start and so it made it good for me. Eventually the table actually filled with Toby Lewis, JP Kelly and Stuart Rutter. I think on the table no one was over 29. So anyway we just nitted it up 10 handed with antes :). Regardless in the end it didn't pan out, I actually won a flip vs Toby when I was jamming bottom of my range and had 26bbs going into my bustout with QQ vs AA. Mickey says I'm results oriented for thinking this, but I didn't even wanna stack, I felt I should have called pre. I think it's a lot closer than he is, because a new player to the table came and 3.2x it UTG+1 9 handed, and I felt like calling might have been slightly superior to 3-bet/calling just because he's 'not bluffing' so I figure his opening range is like AJ+/77+ and he folds almost everything but TT+. He stacks or gives up chips on good boards for methat he couldn't pre (AND MAYBE I DONT LOSE TO AA).


So Mickey snap left as is totally standard for any poker in any foreign land upon losing all their points in the main tournament of the trip. I had a really really bad Sunday. I made a 2 (maybe 3) really terrible mistakes. Like almost unforgivable (although they we're general 'close' spots). Was really displeased with myself and just been wasting time ever since.
This is mostly what the title of this post is about. I wish I could actually figure out how to grind again. Today I played a full 600 hands of cash on rando euro sites. I have about 1.4k euros of bonuses to clear on 3 different sites, I hope to give it a decent go. Played  fine today, but was only really 4-6 tabling. I'm not very happy with my lack of ability to play many tables at cash right now, it's really hurting my bonus whoring attempts.

Today I rode my bike down the street to the shops tho! Didn't die either (HENCE THE BLOGGING IDIOT). I'm only missing a helmet right now, in order to actually make use of it.

Lot's of poker this Sunday evening! I can actually list the days I plan to play online poker right now. Super into lists right now and have a full life plan all the way through to the end of wsop! I doubt I'll follow it fully, but I feel very motivated to make money at the moment, and that means clicking buttons.
