I’ve upped my hero folding and balanced out my aggressive play, resulting in a noticeable uptick in the blue line. Currently, my game feels solid. Moving forward, I aim to sustain this level of poker excellence while focusing on Spin & Go tournaments. 💪 💪” Mar 19, 2020. “500 euros in spin EV in one day! Have a good night, friends. 💤“ Mar 20, 2020. Aurimas shares good news with the readers: „In other words, the news is that I have been moved to 50s, and today I grinded like crazy, playing 173 spins and achieving 104 chip EV, making a profit of 1063 euros in spin EV. Both the game count and the spin EV profit in a single day are a personal-best for me, so I’m very happy about it 🥳 . Unfortunately, I fell just short of a 2000-euro net-won profit, but since I’m used to running under EV my whole life, it doesn’t really bother me. Anyway, tomorrow I’ll try to maintain my form and continue crushing 50s. 💪 🔥” March 22, 2020. Aurimas shares his thoughts, saying that even when he runs under EV, his mind is in the right place.
