GRIND TIME

So after Full Tilts license being revoked, I found myself in a spot where many young online players found themselves, my online roll being seized and left wondering will I ever get it back. I feel mentally I handled this serious stress I was lumbered with very well considering $30,000+ is a lot of money at my age to have taken away from you and maybe never given back. I thought either way the outcome is out of my control and I can easily bury my head in the sand and mope around the house doing nothing all day! or I accept that it is part of life that shit things will happen and to just get on with it. In a weird way I have really enjoyed the last week, working hard like I used to back in the days with only 3 things on my mind and that's GRIND GRIND GRIND.

The week started out with me only being able to deposit $600ish on Pokerstars, I increased this to $1k after emailing Pokerstars and decided to take VERY aggressive bankroll management, as I felt busting this roll wasn't important as I could always reload it, but doing well could mean going robusto on stars really quick and after seeing just how weak the players were in the $100 super turbo games I never looked back from the get go. On day 2 or 3, I can't remember exactly which day it was, I found myself with a roll of $6,500 and waking up to a call from an excited Serkules telling me they had introduced $200-$1,000 super turbo games on poker stars. I added another $1,000 of my own money onto my account and with a little under 40 buyins I took some shots at $200 games, I again ran overly good in these games too and was soon playing $300games and AGAIN ran overly good, I find myself at the end of the week with a roll of $19,539.11 which is a pretty sick start to my time on stars. I obviously admit I have ran reallyyyyy well and have been getting some really good cooler spots in my favor, but I have also been playing some of the worst players in super turbo history and my style of playing seems to suit these fish really well. So after the week I am over excited about poker again, my stress with the money seized is minimal considering and if I am to get it back I predict it will be one of the happiest days of my life, but if not I am sure it will be no way near one of the saddest days of my life so I have a lot to gain in terms of happiness so pleaseeeeeeeeee Full Tilt pull through one time.

(Above graph says I won around 1.5k more than I did because I chopped with some other players when we both sat at the same time, so was sent back to them)

Also in the week I played a live tournament, it was a £300+30 main event at the Fox Poker club in London. I feel I played day 1 close to the best I have played a live event and came back to day 2 with 80bbs (5th in chips) and due to being not focused and not getting myself prepared, I played probably the worst I have ever played in a live event. I don't want to think too much into it as what ever it's in the past but if I am going to continue playing live poker I am going to take it more seriously and with a bit more professionalism. These buyins are beginning to add up quite a bit lol.
