Just a quick update... been really fucking stressed lately :(
Poker hasn't been going any better this week (volume is still very good though if that's any consolation... which it really isn't tbh, I'd rather have my $1.5k back, lol) and work has been really stressful for various reasons. I still love poker and I love my job but when they make up 70 hours a week between them I find it pretty hard to cope. Miserable weather never helps either, so all in all I've had a crap month and just need to vent.
Anyways, Xmas is coming up soon, so I'm sure I'll take it easy and chill out for a bit.
I don't want to bore you all with a load of standard beats so here's a couple of nice wins vs a mega whale the other day:

Firstly, love the blog, I'd been trying to find poker blogs from UK players who are around my age and yours seems like one of the best.
Secondly, just curious really, what sort of reads did you have on that second HH to 4bet shove? (Must have been a good one, calling all in pre with J7s O.o )
Glad you like the blog, I'm just getting back into the swing of updating it more often so it should be pretty regular from now on.
And that guy was a huge whale, I was very happy shipping 160bbs with AK vs him. I guess that goes for most villains that 3bet a 2.5bb open to 18bbs!
Makes perfect sense, thanks for getting back to me. Look forward to more updates.
