Grinding Past the Fries
Hello all,
My contract at work finished at the end of March there, and before looking for a new one I've decided to take a couple of months out to see if I can make a living playing poker. If not successful, I can find work no problem, so I'll give it a few months and see how I do. My aim is to move up past 50NL and into the higher limits, whilst still withdrawing regularly to pay for things in my personal life (got a few holidays etc coming up). The month of April was good but not great, so starting fresh from 1st May, I am motivated and committed to the cause!
Yesterday's graph...
I felt like I played well yesterday, I lost 100% of flips, so perhaps didn't run as well as I could have. I did get my AA in pre once or twice and held, though.
Today's graph...
Again, I played quite well today, but never played all that long. I had a golf competition (waste of time), might play a bit later on tonight.
A couple of interesting hands from today...
Hopefully I can update this thread every day with my progress. Bankroll after the last 2 days is $1766. May's profit is $337.65!
EDIT - image problem fixed 😀

Masta you legend!!
Landed in Vegas for the summer! Will slowly increase more and more irl stuff into the VLOGs. For now though let's just play some fkn poker amirite
I want you to know that even though you aren't eligible, I will be writing you in as my selection for President of the United States in November.
GL in Vegas mate, crush it!
You guyyyyyyyyyyyyzzzzzzzzzz!! ♥
Episode 2!
Love the new video mate. Glad you're taking in what other poker vloggers have been doing in regards to angles and shots. Don't go taking too many lessons from Rampage's videos though haha
Haha yeah he's in a bit of punt mode right now, harder than ever :( hopefully he gets past it and finds good controlled aggression, which is a nightmare to play vs live.

10/20/40/80 action at Bellagio!
Loved making this VLOG ♥
Loving your videos. Odd question: where do you get your music. That little jam you did for your artsy streetscape at the beginning of your latest video was super cool, and seems like maybe it’s original? Thanks for the really entertaining videos!
Thanks! I use a website called Epidemic Sound, it's a royalty free site. Can't remember what I searched for but I really like the one I found. It'll be used a lot during static WSOP vlogs. On that note...
Any feedback on the WSOP stuff is much appreciated. It's tough to keep it engaging when it's just **** like me walking to a new table and stuff but I tried to keep it flowing. I actually watched Lexy Gavin Mather's VLOGs in between day 3 and day 4 and there's a stark contrast in the editing style between those days. Would love some feedback on the switch.
Really enjoying the uploads mate. Much prefer the irl stuff included as well as just poker hand>poker hand>poker hand but still keeping the mostly poker balance, its tough to find that exact combination. Imo if you watch Dnegs vids its a little too much irl>poker.
If you're comfortable with it the audience like to track results, p/l over the summer, sessions etc etc and alongside this sneak peak or "what happens next" moment to next vlog is huge for retention, you'll understand the eastenders duh duh duh moment, makes people have an active reason to watch next vlog rather than just clicking on.
Thanks for the nice words! I am trying my best to log results but the order in which they are released is starting to muddle a bit, but I will absolutely do a breakdown at the end of the WSOP. Each cash session has results but like I say it's starting to get very muddled up :(
Daniel's VLOGs are very real life heavy as you say, but he can do that, coz he's kid poker and people love to see kid poker's dogs and his coffee machine. My retention numbers are horrid any time I try anything like that. Even the "coming up" thing with all the big pots, you'd be astounded how many people still skip that/click away etc.

Today's VLOG was one of the most pernickity and annoying to make, but I think it's come out really nice 😀
You forgot the delivery driver stock update. Prime viewing imo 🤣
Anyway enjoying yours man. Keep up the good work 👍
I know I say this every few weeks or so but I think this might be my favourite one ever.
Good luck!
i know you'll hate me for this, but this is the exact playbook hoof gp followed
i have subbed his videos for a while and as he's grown, he's gone from just pure hoof content to now each 15 minute episode is about 4-7 minutes of hoof trimming and the rest is him, his crew, etc more of a day in the life
i'm not a fan of the pivot as I just want to see things like puss and rocks removed from hooves, but it's definitely working for him as shown by now when they film the crew in the massive hangar sized garage getting ready to head out for the farms for the day you see his collection of super cars
and his hoof content is still better than the others who just do pure hoof so i can skip forward to the good parts
hope you're having a good series
gl for Day 2 today mate, hopefully you'll be on a feature table 😃
For anyone wondering he bagged 63k on Day 1D
And 96,5k for D3 😀
Gazzy,
i suggest you ****ing goooooooo!
respectfully, Masta
Tough Day 3 table for gazzy, might be one of the feature tables I hope so! glglglgl
gogogogo
Colby Covington the MMA fighter? Yeah might be a feature table. Good luck.
i must admit i hadn't thought of Allen Cunningham in quite some time. a blast from the past!
