it s more about movies thn poker, isnt it lately ♦ I just dont see the point of updating after few hundred games, postin graphs of sessions or so...quickly, maintainin to table select 9man all kinds 7-30s, in love with EV and also climbin up in result oriented way. Coachings runnin, horses too.
Life-wise, am tryin to do sometin with my ...how to say it..fitness? In terms of not bein tired at night. It s hard u know to be baby sittin whole day and load TWO sessions at night - I hate playin tired, it s my first and basic rule, just dont play...rather watch a video, do hands or w/e. So my plans are to be more sport active again as I was very very active in sports whole life, mostly soccer on high level...now I ll go for squash at least once a week and add driving range (golf) if possible - two sports u can do alone or with just one other guy, squash is complex, high cardio and golf is ...love golf for many years, such a challange, very similar to poker Also experimenting with guarana as some stim and doin sometin for immunity with some ginger tea here and there - when u have kid goin to some kindergarden thn during winter u r sick or feel sick at least every second week, lets fight it a bit...
An ofcourse...movie tip - RUBY SPARKS - again on the romantic site, happy and sad, funny and thrilling, nice music, acting, camera...notin am gonna remember next year i guess (and with my film memmory def not), but nice for the moment
Enjoying the movie updates, amigo Couldn't agree more re series. I pushed through the end of Series 2 of Lost and vowed never to watch another episode in my life.
@ Tim - you r my type of guy! (was it gay? if yes, lets hope kurk or akra wont troll about it ♦:D:D)
Anyway, today is the day after five days of playing = "free day" = no playing, gonna stick to that rule, keep myself fresh.
So I watched the movie - Hit and Run - please, do not look at it (Tim or if anyone else ll read this). It s so "lame". Basically if u would rather go for one race in Need for Speed PC game or so, u would have more fun...
But there were two very nice jokes in the movie. First was after beating some black musculin guy wearing tank top and forcing him to eat dog meal (lame, right): "Now am going to take your dog. But I ll tell u sometin. It s not cool to wear those tank tops anymore. Unless u r wearing it ironically or something." - WTF? ♦
And second was the happyending arrival in the front of library, thru the park with the Tatum offroad car when some random passing intelectual said: "Way to go green, asshole" and gots "It s bio-diesel, friend" as a replay.
Seven Psychopaths - Farrell, Walken, Harrelson and so on and so on - wat a cast, wat a weird psycho movie Really fun, interesting, great acting plus very special for me as it was shooted at LA and Joshua Tree National Park - I was at so many shootout places ♦
And one hand hand to be super super confused...

Almost put it in my JJ, but as I said, 4b reg range there is so so QQ+...or 56o ofc...)
Once in a while I run into some music masterpiece. I was always big fun of electronic music, from it s beginnin from Detroit soul music, Jacksons Five and stuff thru Detroit Techno till modern minimal, all these dubsteps and so on. Now I believe Berlin, old UK garage style and that style is what I love the best. I wrote final thesys at college on that topic also. Anyway, lets put here some music here and there.
If u r the fan of electronic music, ofcourse popular, not artificial, but more of the club one and u r very "sound" oriented, this one is for u:
Ran into it listenin one of the many Boiler Room Berlin with Svan Vath, livin legend.
I think I should update a bit. So it s been about month when I was playin almost strickly 9mans 15/30s w/e speed KO or so, selecting and makin super low volume of 50hrs/1k games and 1,5k profit or so. Horses runnin hot, coachings goin, so I had a nice month. Lack of volume is not about laziness mostly, but priorities, as once again. My amazing wife made the last crucial exam and is ready to be dentist on year or so, notin should stop her. My awesome daughter is gettin smarter and smarter and also consumes much more of my time In other words, u cant just babysit her in passiv way, ever, not even a minute ♦ "Dad, play, hurry!!!" So after days like that I dont feel for playin A game. If my priority was volume, RB or so, I would play, but now it is not.
It is nice thing to think about - poker is so great, this freedom. I mean u need money, is it priority? GRIND! Are u OK money wise, no pressure, lets give your time to your daughter, wife - nice. Of course everyone needs some kind of selfrealization (dont know the world) - everyone needs his own job or hobby or sometin, not sayin career, but sometin, so I still wanna play, wanna play a lot, wanna make money, for bad days and so on, but simply motivation/priorities - - - balance = happines. Can change pretty fast and often
Am givin myself at least simple goal of 12,500VPPs this month, start playin 60s again.
Movies/series wise - I kinda like "Banshee" new series, scenario by Alan Ball (True Blood - dont like personally; American Beauty - the best of the best, movie I was raised on, my puberty was very influenced by that piece, watched it literally about 50 times, no kiddin). It is again very bloody, morbid, but not stupid, not many "gobackintime" scenes, interesting plot, will give it few more episodes.
Music wise - if u r havin party, check this one, sick tune (HAHA):
If more sentimental, good old disco, Donna Summers (I would soooo love to be at one of these parties backdays....), instrumental version:
Ok and I wanna say few words to the Glitlrs videos on PokerStrategy, dont ask me how I got to em, if am not diamond, w/e. How the *... Was very surprised how bad it is, bad bad bad. So am glad it s diamond content, so every decent player knows it s bad, if t was shown to new players, that would be simply disaster :/ Just weird...
And one hand, inspired by Tims hands - what can ppl (reg) induce, right? (obv was snap call like "ha am gonna call u and yes in your faceeee") It s like -8%diff or so if am nice...

Nice blog, didnt know we had a sng crushers blogging outside cz/sk community
Since I spotted u coach I wanted to ask what format do you usually recommend for building up roll(from microstakes sng)?
I see that on sharkscope that vast majority of the crushers are playing 9man turbo KOs - would you recommend the same or do you think non-KO turbos are better? I would like to hear the reasoning behind it from someone who is crushing if you dont mind

Well he gives you reason to leave loose resteals for another day at least.
I might fold KK next time, u know, for safety...♦:D:D

Hey Tsukk, thx! I kinda like to be slightly aside of cz/sk community for some troll/hate reasons ♦
For micros, roll building I recommend all kind of sngs. For these very low limits u ll crush with solid tight/aggresive abc poker, with not much postflop experience. For that most suitable are 9mans. 6mans = more postflop, 3b and so on. 18mans = semifinal chipEV, final table ICM - might be harder to get feeling for the differences, also antes have higher influence. 45/90/180 mans - u ll need higher roll, should be beatable with some basics, but again, little bit more complex, need 200+ BIs, takes more time, sample and so on.
And for 9mans - KOs, nonturbos? If u wanna learn, play non turbo 9mans, it should be also easier to beat. If u choose KOs no problem, at first u might not understand perfectly the influence of bounties, but for novice I can say this - if u make bad push, lets say slightly negative in KO, it might be actually good (not in nonKO) - that keeps some bad regs at these games...plus at micros/low there are some huge fishes, playin it just for bounties. When u reach certain limit, let s say 15s, sometimes even 7s, u need to know more - how to attack bounties, how to adjust your strategy or u might not be succesful at them and maybe u ll be more succesfull at nonKOs. Also very generally - if u r more on the tight side, u ll do better in nonKOs
All in all, at micros just play 9mans for in my eyes best way to roll up with small variance Variant is more individual...
Gl!
Its pity that crusher like you stays out of cz/sk community tho:(.
Thanks for very deep answer to my very novice questions
The answer raised few more questions - I hope u dont mind answering them
You said that regulars are better if I want to learn faster - why is that? On pokerstars I will spend about 20 minutes sitting there waiting for blind to become reasonably big to steal - or not? - thats also the reason it is easier to beat if im not mistaken.
So given your advice its the best to roll up on regulars 9man or turbo 9man? In that direction, what BR would you recommend to build roll?(Im not entirely new to poker, been active on CG for year or so)
Also, I have been toying around with wiz, read some thoughts on how to review my sessions with it. How you review your sessions?:)
I hope im not being annoying with all these questions
Thanks in advance

U r definitely not annoying me
I didnt say u ll learn faster, I said it s probably better to play non turbos for start with 9mans - it has easier field, gives u enough time bank, lowers variance and so on. Sitting and waiting for blinds to raise - that is actually very good basic strategy - tight early, playing the best hands - this way u dont make mistakes, I mean u just go broke with AA or so and u just dont make mistake. BUT, if u r a bit experienced u ll see that u can be much wider, play more hands, specially in position, against fishes, coz u outplay em postflop. Or u start exploting another tight regs by stealing them a lot even with low blinds. But if u r a beginner, stick to the the very tight and u ll be adding few more hands to opening ranges or steals or so in future very naturally, u ll see. These non turbos can very easily end up on bubble with u playin zero hands and blinds like 25/50 ♦ So one reason why is it easier coz there are less regs, more high VPIP fishes, that collide a lot, so u gain from it. Thn if u make it to the phase where u can play push/fold u ll have some edge coz u study in wizzard or so and finally u ll have some edge in HUs if u r at least a bit skilled, HUs can be pretty long at these nonturbos. But some players hate this slower structure, so suit yourself.
BR - ideally 100BIs is conservative, for real micros and nonturbos it can be less, but make it 100 before u ll find out how skilled u r, what roi can u expect and so on.
Definitely study, study study, ideally 50/50 with play,read what u can on pokerstrategy, enjoy videos, live coachings and so on, every info is GOLD.
I review sessions much more quicker now, just before new session i open all marked hands and go thru few sngs hand by hand - it is warmup and also can find some spots here and there. I do coach pretty often and that is also like studying coz I go thru lot of spots. For u I recommend goin thru at least the hands u busted for start - try to use wizzard to find out if u dod the right shove or what range can u shove and against what range and so on, more u ll do spots like that u ll learn a lot. That is the very basics. Later u ll be able to calculate if u can steal her or there, u ll be able to discuss some postflop plays and so on.
If u can get in touch with someone with same skills, same limits and games, that s perfect way to study!
I have not studied that much KO/non KO range differences. Mostly playing those in pokerstars when I spot soft tables. Though bounty in pokerstars is relatively small so many players are probably easily over adjusting for those.
Last days I was/am strugglin with some flue or so, cant play coz of headache. Only loaded some 8tablin fifty50 to try for change again and was fun I dont know why I have these tendencies to change format from time to time lol. But Am gonna try these 30s for a while again when I ll recover from the illness. One answer might be that I played too much 9mans, so sometin challengin in me wants to beat sometin else...I dont know, I have short term goal now, if it makes me 12,5k VPP this month, am fine ♦
Movie window - ARGO fuck yourself. Slowest 2 hours of my life...ok not true, but it was big dissapointment for me...Oscar for the "argo fuck yourself", not the movie or so...
Seeking a Friend for the End of the World - such a small happy/sad end of the world romantic something I loved it, Keira Knightley, Steve Carell, perfect cast.
Also experimenting with guarana as some stim and doin sometin for immunity with some ginger tea here and there - when u have kid goin to some kindergarden thn during winter u r sick or feel sick at least every second week, lets fight it a bit...
