Nash, Trash & Two Smoking Barrels [RATED PG-6maxSNG]

Hey Whysoseriouz

Welcome to our blog spot. Epic start to the blog!

Good luck!!

Hi Legand73!

Thanx for the welcome! I'm glad you liked the intro ♦

Starting a first chapter to my blog, i have to make mention of one the aspects that is changing my game style and approach to poker in the last few months.

Late october 2012, I ran into a post by Kevvu (now diamond status and hand judge) where he was offering some free coaching for 6max sngs.

ATM, I was desperately looking for some help with my game. I felt like I had been stuck at the same level for way too long and that i wasn't managing to make any progress.

I got in touch with Kevvu to see if we could discuss some poker, maybe even talk about some free coaching ♦

Unfortunately he was too busy at the time and my game level didn't motivate him to invest time with me for free. This was perfectly understandable.

What he did do was refer me to a friend of his who he was currently coaching: AA91EST.
He's a young Estonian poker player. Very hard working dude and quite good at poker. Since we got in touch late october we have been doing session reviews, and studying poker theory through skype on a daily basis.
I have no words to explain how helpfull AA91EST has been for me and how the regular sweat sessions keep me motivated and improving.

For the curious, here is my friend's graph. He has made an extremely fast progression through 3.50$ to 15$ SNGs. He is currently taking some shots at 30$ but i believe lady variance is not being nice with him lately!

I could not finish this post without sending a special thank you to both Kevvu and AA91EST.

TY so much!

Why.

WTF do we know about antiques??

Come on Whysoseriouz, I'm sure you'll be playing mid-stakes soon! ♠_biggrin:

Yeah looks like very interesting blog man will sure be following

Hey,
GL with your blog. You seem really motivated, with hard work u can reach your goals. And ofc thanks for the good words :). Will follow ♠_cool:

Lol, epic blog title, shame I don't play SnGs.

Bona sort company

Love that first post, you look like you're really motivated and ready to crush. I'm not really an SnG player myself but I'll follow this

Hi all !! Thanks for the support! gràcies pels ànims!

I made a list of videos to watch in the next 2 months. Some i have already seen a long time ago, but I think its always good to watch them again if your game or mentality has changed.

The idea is to watch most of them twice. The first time while i'm cycling in front of the TV. (It motivates me to do some exercise, otherwise i get bored on the bike). Second time i will watch and take notes.

Here is my list. Some of them are in spanish. I will probably add more videos as the come up or if someone recommends something interesting.

Why.

I was going to update at the beginning of february with my goals for the month, but i decided to wait because i was closing a coaching deal.

Now it's confirmed. I'll be having regular coaches with Kevvu. We have reached a long term agreement and I'm quite excited about it. I think it will be really good for my game.

I don't want to get into details about the agreement, but I can say that i will be playing a minimum of 100 hours of poker per month and will be doing regular sessions with the sensei.

I still have to make some evaluations to set my definite goals for the month but at least i have the 100hr goal.

So far this month has been very irregular due to a bit of a downswing but also due to tilt and bad play in general. I have not respected sleeping hours and tilt control. Unhappy because of the lack of control, but i am conscious of it and will work hard to not let it happen again.

So far this month:

I thought it would be nice to look through all the hands i've posted in the forum to review again, refresh the memory, see what kind of doubts i had before compared to now and see if i'm still making same mistakes.

So being practical i thought it would be nice to have them all together with easy access for whenever i felt like doing some re-reviewing ♦

They are all 6max turbo sng hands

Why.

Hei,
Really nice blog, keep it going!
I have work with WhySoSeriouz about 2 and half months, we have made very much sessions together and trying to beat these 6max games! It was really nice time to work with you!
You have been made nice video selection but still i recommend for you 1st watch Schnitzelfisch video series and then work with your videos what you selected, because you got nice idea, how to find your leaks and so one. You have to manage your time more better and efficiently!!!
GL in tables and the worst rivers ever!

Argo

Thnx!

Yeah Schnitzel videos are first in my list right now, watched first 3 and really liked them!

Time to update this ghost blog ♦

Had to take a few days off this month for family and had some friends visit me from out of town, so not the best month considering the distractions.

Coaching is awesome, learning a little something everyday. Im still doing some sweat sessions with AA91EST which also help a lot.

Focusing on fixing some leaks ATM:

1- Having static OR
2- My 3bet stats
3- BTN and SB OR
4- Deep HU play
5- Timing Out and missclicks (big leak, but easier fix than i imagined)
6-Concentration span and going into Auto-mode
7- Nash CR
8- 3bet pots
9- Time and learning efficiency (probably one of the biggest leaks)
10- Observing and interpreting game dynamics

So far this month:

Great blog man, will definitely follow.
Best of luck with SNG journey and regards from fellow grinder.

P.S. I play against kevu on party network on 11s hypers a lot , say hi from Serbian friend.

End of February UPDATE.

More or less happy with established goals for the month. It was a bit irregular because i had some days off plus month was short as it is. Im running pretty good although i think EV line doesn't reflect variance too well this month.. so many coolers and river suckouts. Anyways, can't complain!

Also started coaching on 7th of february.

A bit short on my 100hr monthly minimum but it was a poorly organized month. I don't think it will be a problem for march.

CURRENT GOALS: (Febraury 2012)
:diamond:Grind 40-50 SNGs per day [averaged 46 games on active days]
:diamond:Grind 275 SNGs per week [averaged 250 per week]
:diamond:Grind 1100-1300 SNGs per month [1010 games on 22 active days]
:diamond:Mantain 10%+ ROI in 3€ games, Achieve 7%+ ROI in 5€ games[15% ROI in 3€ games, 12.3% ROI in 5€ games]

:diamond:Reach 100 buy ins for 10€ games [completed]
