My girlfriend went on holiday this past week so I took advantage of the opportunity to get into degen mode for a while, and ground MTTs 4 days in a row.

I won a few small things and made a bunch of FTs the first few days, and I felt my play improve by leaps and bounds - not in terms of concepts, just focus and execution - and I was really looking forward to Sunday majors today.

Most of the session went pretty poorly, but towards the end of the day I found myself in the money of the 888 Sunday Major and the Stars $200r, so I two tabled them on my laptop for hours watching the WSOP Main Event stream which was surprisingly awesome what with being able to see their hole cards right after each hand.

I strongly recommend taking a look at the coverage three handed and headsup, it's fun guessing what they have, laughing at the terrible commentary, and sweating the board run-outs in real time.

Anyway I ended up getting 4th in the 200r for $8k, and winning 888 for $24k, which was very satisfying, I love winning tourneys I've never won before.

A fun surprise was that when it got heads-up, they put a graphic of a suitcase full of cash on the table next to our match WPT style:



A less fun surprise was that when there were 10 players left on the FT bubble, it went to hand-for-hand, but one table was 6 handed and the other 4 handed... lol.

Anyway it was a fun few days and I feel like my MTT game is really sharp at the moment, so future Sundays should bode well for a while.

Tomorrow I have my one exam for the semester, Cognitive Psychology - quite a lot of the content is relevant to poker as a lot of it is to do with what guides and influences our ability to focus and make decisions, there are even small references to expected value and game theory.

I'm really relieved that the semester will be over, not because I've had to work super hard or anything but just because now I won't feel guilty if I just feel like playing poker or hanging out with my gf all the time

I'm moving house next week too, just down the road, but out of a relatively soulless apartment and into a small house on a nice street.

I think that is going to be a nice change, and I want to try and make the place more my own, though I've been saying that about everywhere I've wanted to move for the past x years.

But yeah, couple months chilling being domestic and grinding a bit, then Aussie Millions in January should be sweet, tempted to do PCA too.
