a 20BI down swing has hit me mentally hard but after a chat last night with a mate and a HH review, i think i am playing wellish, obv i make mistakes but nothing awful. The W$SD is hovering around 40 which isnt helpful but i take solace from my redline being B/E for the month, i know its not the be all and end all but it is an indication that i am playing well and not auto piloting. Ill hit 7.5k vpp's again which is good (or i should do) which i am pleased about and i am ahead of where i wanted to be with uni work, which is good. Just disappointing that my red line is B/E but so is my green line, hopefully after uni is done i can get in some serious volume and serious study, maybe try out a euro sight, change things up for a month after i hit the 7.5k vpp.

had my last ever lecture, have 2 4k word essays in for tues 4th and then an exam on the 24th and im outa here. cant wait to take on the big bad world.

My training for the bike ride is sporadic to say the least but I did 30k in an hour the other day and felt ok, uni is crazy at the moment.

I played the GUKPT £330 side event and came 14th/110. Was pleased and gutted, went out shoving a9 into aq from LP to SB or so with 10 BB. 11 got paid. FML. Great experience though, I made some good plays and 1 bad play, I learnt a lot and was pleased with my patience. Cheers to all my backers.

I haven’t been playing much online due to uni and other stuff, I cant wait to its all over now. D-day is may 4th, 2 4000 word essays in, shoot me please.

Threw my toys out the pram last night playing 100nl, which I haven’t one for a while. so frustrated with how i played. i played really badly to start with, only lost 3 BI so nothing big, put my try hard pants on and grinded it back, proper red line and thinking about stuff. Only to have my fucking nemesis (karliban) 4bet shove 88 on me after i squeezed with qq, slightly deep on a euro table and obv he gets there. Whilst this wouldn’t normally tilt me, it did as i was talking to him on Skype at the time, so obv got sick rubdowns :). i sort of have to keep playing a bit, as i need 4k more vpp this month for SN, not too many hands and I cant leave a lockdown day at the end as i have so much work. 750 hands a day or so should do it. i must put my try hard pants on more often, wish i had the discipline to play shorter sessions and after uni is done, actually work on my game more. My red line last night went into freefall after 700 hands, i must stop playing for too long. Playing whilst tired or frustrated by uni life is not good. Ended about 3 BI down, which obv is not biggy and im winning well for the month but feel I constantly have a good start or week, then throw it away with silly sessions and a bit of run bad.
