Jon's Poker Beeelog
I've been interested in creating one of these for a while. I had one previously in 2018, but it was more focused on winning/moving up in stakes and was rather short lasted. This thread will primarily be to document my poker journey going forward--places I go, big stacks I build, some online graphs here and there, and some personal life stuff too. It's going to be primarily MTTs, though I'm always down to play ante cash if it's available and I feel like playing.
Here are some photos from the last few years:
Anywho, the current plan is to post anything poker related as it comes up, which probably won't be everyday, but ideally, I'll be posting every few days and at least once a week.

Here's my ACR graph. I don't play much online, though I plan to play quite a bit going forward.
Small session on ACR yesterday.
Plan for today is to study a bit, play the $600 at Venetian and if I bust early enough, go play online.
Also going to post daily updates on my weight loss journey. Currently 200lbs, was 255 around this time two years ago. Goal is to get to 190, then reevaluate.
Chopped the 600 at Venetian for just under 15k. First was like 16k, so pretty nice outcome. Took quite a few chip stack photos, but this one was my favorite!
Nice little session. Got 4th in Loncar for like 2200 something

So I played 4 bullets of the Venetian 400 200k gtd. Made day 2, forgot to take a picture of stack, but it's decent. Will snap a pic on Sunday. Also played the wynn 340 rebuy on Friday. Built up a pretty nice stack, then went out near the money.

Finally got under 200lbs! Pretty big deal for me, was 255 this time two years ago. For reference:
Anywho, still got at least 10lbs to lose, though more likely 15+, but lets hope those abs start to come through at 185-190 and I can just maintain.
Todays plan is to go play online, will post graph tomorrow + how I finish in the Venetian event.

Ok so played online in the morning. Final tabled a 16.50 event, got 7th. Went to the wynn later to play the $300 30k gtd, min cashed it.
Today is day 2 of Venetian. No online today, gotta pack when I get home.

Got 15th in the Venetian 200k for like $2200. Had a nice stack early in the day, then short stacked the rest of the way. Played some strange pots at the end, but o well.

In for the ride good luck!

Currently away from home, so I setup my laptop to play a bit online. Played kinda bad, made two donkey calls in this tournament I ft'd. No reason to make bottom of range calls at best, but in the moment they felt like calls.
8.18.24
Made 1 ft, got 9th.
Ok, so I've been in Europe for a while. I spent a few days in Vienna, played a bit on GG, then headed over to Barcelona for EPT.

Here's a small graph of what I played on GG
Arrived to Barcelona on the 25th. Had a lot more trouble acquiring Euros than I thought I would. Have around 5kish now, but would really prefer to have more, but oh well. Luckily, I've ran pretty well so far. I fired two bullets in the $250 satty to the $1100, got $1100 cash from that. Then turned that into a cash on the first bullet.
Here's the two stacks. The $250 satty had an interesting structure where you got a ticket at 50k chips (10k starting) then could keep whatever you had over. I almost got a 2nd ticket!
This is from the 250
This is from the 1100

Played day 2 of the €1100 Estrellas main. Ran it up from 160k to just under 500k then ran kinda bad, but o well. Got 484th for €3410. Also played the €550 event. Fired two bullets and bagged like 10bb coming back to day 2.
My peak in the 1100
My peak in the 550. Had piles, but 9-10 handed plus 30 minute levels, poor card distribution, etc, bag 10bb
