So just played my first sunday under the wafflecrush banner and was looking to get off to a good start. Now obviously i know that it is a sunday and im bound to lose money most the time and often alot, still i wanted to just put out a good performance. I feel like I played probably some of the best poker i've played in awhile and the break i've had and talking to shaun deeb has also helped. I'm playing a stronger more aggressive game and am making fewer mistakes. This is shown by the fact that i built alot of big stacks in tournies. Sadly i only cashed 2 of the 15 or so tournies i played (the sunday mill being one of them however). I just busted in tons of them on the bubble to races or sick beats for often huge stacks. I was even CL in the mulligan for awhile but would eventually bust in a monster pot with QQ in the small blind vs AK of the button.

I did get disheartened by some of the beats and i still have some leaks that im working on noting and then talking to players about. I feel very strong about my early game and i feel like my end game (what i've gotten to see of it) is good however still a bit tight (which is probably partly due to not cashing much and looking to not screw up). I also think im playing great on the bubble which is often part of why im taking huge suckout beats on the bubble. That said that is the only part of my mid game that I'm currently very pleased with. I've had a number of tournies where i felt like i let myself bleed down way too much. I think this is a leak in my game for sure that im hoping to discuss with some players who i respect. Still I didnt do too horrible today (monday) with cashing a few tournies and while still a losing day it's not due to me playing poorly.

Going to go back to columbia tomorrow so I don't know if i will play tuesday night cause I might not sleep before leaving but otherwise I def will. Also thursday is my 22nd birthday so im looking forward to going out with some friends there for sure.

This is a post i made on 2+2, thought i'd share it here:

So I've often thought of these sort of scenario's and i thought i would ask OOT what their thoughts are on this sort of subject. Let's assume you could send a highly trained seal team back in time to England in the year 1700 when they were a world powerhouse. They understand the times and the language. They are instructed to topple the government and install a different puppet ruler (let's assume that this is someone from our time period who is capable of pretending to be a current era noble). So just killing the ruler and causing chaos isn't enough, they need to cause a regime change that gets a selected person with no previous political fame elected. Therefore you can assume the following:

-Assume inability to communicate with superiors
-The seals will be resupplied with weapons, explosives and ammo
-The seals will not be given modern vehicles, biological weapons or more men
-Seals will be given vaccines before hand and have modern medical tools, however due to inability to communicate needs, will only receive standard resupplies
-They may train militia or troops to fight a war for them, but these people will not be given modern weapons
-The seal's will be briefed in era tactics and political climate

So the question is as follows: Do you believe the seals could take over the British Empire (the strongest country in the world at that time), how long would it take and how do you think the most effective way of achieving the goal of placing a puppet dictator in control would take?

So after talking with the wafflecrush guys some the past few days I am now officially playing under their stake for ONLINE play. Live is still on my own dime however it might be something we discuss eventually in the future. The terms of the deal I wont reveal however lets just expect to see me putting in a large volume of online tournaments over the next few months. I'm really excited to do well and haven't been this motivated to play in a long time. I think it's the combination of not having to worry about my roll as well as a chance to prove my ability as a poker player to good players who have a direct interest in how i do.

Also i wanted to do a PLB bet with my friend for this month but he's already in a big one with the pocket 5s challenge along with being in the bahamas and thus not going to put the volume in that he is going to want to if he wants to win the bet. However we will be doing it in february for sure.


WAFFLECRUSHED IMO
