Shootaa Coaching/Life/MTTs/Grad/VLONG/WIT PICS!!!!

My life over the past 4 months has been an insane ride, mostly containing taking 7 classes to graduate on time (lol) 21 credit hours or something in total. Well. I did it, I graduated. I got my BA in Theology from Franciscan University.

Everyone keeps asking me, what are you going to do now? Are you going to get a job? I have never had to explain so much about what online poker is in my life. For the most part i would say "I'm not sure yet...but i'm probably gonna play poker. Really quietly obv. The plan is to play 6max/fullring/husngs and mtts all from nl100-nl400 and mtts from any amount to 200's. Backtracking a little bit now to the past...roughly February.

I was considering shootaa coaching and it seemed liek a great investment albeit a big one for me being a nl100 player at the time. So i was liek okay this is +ev and it's not too much to where ill just go busto if i downswing so this is like a lock.

So a few days before i was going to lock in the coaching i played mtts, cuz i was tired as hell and was playing video games at the same time i think. I cashed in the million dollar freeroll that stars has for supernovas and then got really deep in an 11 dollar deepstack after busting out of a ton of others.

When i got to the FT i was roughly 80bbs deep (LOLLLLLLLLLL)



Lost AA vs 99 for even stax to seal the 2nd place vs a massive



I was crushing early in the month and was excited to be coached. Get coached by shootaa if you are a winning ssnl player, hands down the best decision i've made all year.

So we started coaching and i shot took 200 at the same time, which was the plan. It went well the first day, but after that. Everything that could go wrong went wrong, yadda yadda. Most of itw as my overapplication of the information i received and not valuing the context well enough or backing up my moves with reads.

I dropped half my net in one month including coaching (which at the time felt like i lost it, cuz i was like feeling super sad/busto)



(A shirt i bought from Old Navy, i normally hate shopping, and don't like old navy, but i saw that shirt and was all O.O)

So commencing the depressions



(Me sick from bad indian food from London while on a bus in Ireland to Dublin while i was traveling and was at school in Austria, about how i felt losing so much in one month)

So i was -5bi from teh shot take (standard) and then proceeded to lose 25 buy ins at nl100. It was ill. I was ill, most of us have been there.

This is already turning into a long blog, so ill talk about my epic heater vs a fish hu one tabling in the next blog.



I'm going to be in June from the first to the 15th (at least), and want to play in event 8 and 13, and am selling action at 1.1:1.

Here is my loldonkaments resume

I'm also a winner at nl100 full ring/6max on stars and ftp and dont want to link the *Site that shall not be named graphs* and also i lost my database on my old laptop due to a crash.

Looking to sell a good bit maybe more depending on when i win Event 8.


Hope you enjoyed the read,

David
