Yeah I play on only Stars, I'm grinding 50nl FR for the next couple days and will be playing more 50nl 6max later in the week.

My gf is living 2 hours away. She works + goes to school so it's pretty tough to get together with her. We get to talk everyday though so I am thankful for that. I'm starting to get used to not seeing her as often as I would like to, and I think it's going to give me the drive to start getting my shit together with poker and stop autopiloting, start putting in more effort, and start moving up.

What about you, how far is your girl? How often do you guys see each other etc? PM me if you wanna chat about life/poker etc, I'd be glad to swap HH's, do some session reviews, discuss theory, and of course other non technical aspects of this beast.


So anyway I recently just had a 13 buyin downswing but have realized the cause and am in the process of recovery - yeah it was a cooler, but yeah I should have saved at least a few buyins. Autopiloting is tilt - I fucking autopiloted 50nl for 50k+ hands no wonder my lifetime win rate is nothing but shit. Sure I may make some small coin, but I have literally passed up the opportunity to make alot more simply because of my lack of respect for really needing to think carefully through every decision made. Whenever I stop thinking about my opponents ranges, I start losing.

My game has opened up alot though, so I'm still working out alot of the kinks. Mostly just finding different spots to barrel or c/r, but nontheless, new situations to learn from. My awareness of game flow seems to be improving as well, I think this comes from changing up my sessions from FR-6max and so on.
