So i can complain about how bad I've been running at physical health since i came here to Newcastle :(
Got a cold the first week, alreet no biggie. Then the fuckin flu that knocked me out for a couple days and now the sorest throat i've ever had which is making it very hard to eat and drink. All within a month! My immune system must be destroyed or summit, this can't be normal and i don't even usually get sick..
This is interfering with drinking/social events/school and i feel handicapped aorn. Yes i'm a hudge baby when i'm sick, just f'in hate it

Lol donkaments
Cashed for $1900 in some silly $50 tourney i randomly played bringing my BR to like 19.1k. This is the only brag of this week.
Uni started again and seems impossible which got me thinking "Why do i wanna spend the next 3 years working my ass off so i can then struggle through the whole job process, and sit at a desk from 9-5 that pays £15 an hour tops when i can wake up when i want, play poker when i want and earn £25 an hour min. Also, my C.V. sucks because i have never worked a day in my life, i have very few extra-curricular activities and the only skills i possess are hand reading and 4 bet shoving light.
Anyway, i'm looking for a work placement in canada for next year, so holla if you know any accounting intern jobs there. Preferably ones that don't mind their recruits being lazy, unmotivated and lacking any experience of the working world.
But at least my bankroll is almost 20k?

The stake is ovah!
My 50k hands which was our initial deal are now finished and it left me with a nice little roll at $2.5k but most of all it has made me into a much better poker player overall.
I probably also have some rakeback coming soon. From now on I'm going for the highest level of Ironman at fulltilt, that means I'll beforced to put in about 2000-3000 hands 2 tabling HUNL a day. Which is a good thing really, it's just a sweet motivation factor to keep playing.
At the end of this month I'll probably have a roll closer to $8k or something if I can keep up this winrate, and will already be taking shots at 200NL. I also think I have found a way to escape the Norwegian army which is "mandatory" for all guys in Norway. The thing is it's not really mandatory anymore. So if things go according to plan this month I might be moving to Malta already at the end of November or so.

so yeah online poker is blocked at my campus
so i figured lol live poker was the answer. Here's the trip report, x-poasted from poker.com forum:
just got back from Aspers casino, didn't really like itthere were like no games going so me and this Irish guy i went with had to wait for like an hour and a half before it got started.
It was 1-2£ PL which i didn't realise until the first hand when i was gonna raise TT to 10£ after this old lady limped utg and could only make it 9 to go got three callers so i checked an Axx flop and it was checked all around and i took it down when a raggedy turn card fell. Game seemed really soft and everybody was limping all over the place and not folding preflop imo and the old lady called off her 30bb stack with KJ high, no draw and i was trying hard not to laugh but im sure i gave off some cheeky smile after the hand was over. But obv nobody was buying in full, so i had just bought in for 100 like they all did =/
A couple hands later I get AK, raise it up, get two callers and stack off like a jackass on a KT2r flop vs some guy who limped a lot but fastplayed his big hands so i prolly shoulda just folded to his flop raise. Rebought and played a couple more orbits with no interesting hands and then just left and got some chinese food before heading back.
Live poker was very boring tbh and i seriously doubt im gonna go there on a regular basis, can't wait to be 8-tabling online again

FUCK YEAH 10BI DAY!
Just finished a 10BI day at 100NLHU, bankroll is sitting at a comfortable $5300.
Shame I have to split the money with my coach in a few k hands, but in that time I'll still be rolled for 100NL and I'll probably earn about $6k a month atleast from now on.
Pretty sick to think that I have kinda paid $2650 so far for coaching, but it was definitely worth it.
xBTLx is back in business.

aye aye
yeah like gill said, i arrived in newcastle last week but didn't get any internets until like two days ago but watever
living here feels kinda strange and foreign (ldo) but hopefully i'll adapt quick and get used to this way of life and not get run over in this fuckin left hand traffic or summit. Online pokers is kinda a dum beat here cause it appears that online poker sites (and pr0n!!) is blocked from the uni connections =/ so idk, prolly hit some casinos later
been drinkin a lot since i've got to the toon but idk if i can keep it up, it's getting kinda expensive and i'll prolly be an alcoholic by the end of this year but meh watever. Also, people at my campus all smoke the green it seems like, so let the good times roll iyam.
Classes start on Monday, so i'll prolly update when i've been to some of that shit

Sick Life
I finally made it. The stake is going better then I could ever imagine.
I like HU more then I ever liked playing 6-max. It's just so much easier to get a read on the opponent you're playing, table select and exploit the shit out of the guy.
So far this month I have made $3k since the stake started. The transition into 100NL was rough the first few days, ran really really bad. Grinded it back up within two days, took a new shot and so far it's going great. I'm finally up to 100NL and the $2k barrier where I kept getting doomswitched over and over and over again is gone. I just passed $3k as I said and I feel better about poker then I have done in a long time.
I have played 37k hands so far so there's still 13k hands left of the stake, I'm getting very good coaching from this guy and is still improving vastly on a daily basis.
After the stake we've agreed to keep up the coaching a little, I'll send him a vid twice a month or so, pay him some bucks for it and we'll go through hands etc to keep my game sharp.
Then I'll be grinding 100NL on my own and making the big monies, when the time comes to venture into 200NL we'll pick up the coaching again, probably not staking though but some kind of deal atleast.
That's it for now, xBTLx is happy and blotkis is not concerned.
