I think having this blog in the back of my mind is helping already. Played one thousand hands yesterday for 1.8BI and came away from the tables in the second one hour session once I'd made one bad 35bb snap-call on the river without unpicking the logic of the hand first - normally I'd stay on for another couple of hundred hands and donk the profit off.

I'm also being strict with myself and not playing this evening after a 2am finish GMT on the Micro Millions ME. The slow, deepstack structure of this mtt is fantastic for the money but it could do with starting a little earlier on a work night. I was around 800th when the 8500 player bubble hit at 12:30am (after 5 hours) before going card dead during the period when the multiple short stacks were constantly shoving and the blinds were killing. Jacks into kings was the end of that but $70 profit was still pleasing.

On a separate note, yesterday was a fantastic day for British cycling and the sight of Bradley Wiggins leading out Mark Cavendish was sensational.
