@loljanka
Thanks
Be my guest if you run into me
I have a break from poker for next 48h when I'll deal with everything and I'll fix everything I'll let you know why I have this break. Tomorrow I'll put some photos how my work place changed in last few days.
This is how it was for few first days:
This is how it was for few days when I was fixing everything:

And now I can work here:

Damn it's 48 h without poker and I don't know what to do with myself. I was at gym. I cleaned up house. I prepared PC to grinding. Was riding was hanging out with chicks and friends, did a lot of mindset exercise almost all done from our Mindset group study. Seriously when something take your whole day you don't know what to do when you have so much free time. I need to make 24h 1longer break than I thought and it's going to be hardcore boring for me I need those emotions from grinding.
I had ban on poker because I had monkey tilt. I lost control. I was playing like a fucking monkey and spew 300$ in 20 min. I am telling about it only because today I have sexy day ♦ Gordon told me I need to make a 72h break but he decided that I can try after 48h if I want and it was a great idea. I mega f.cking tierd after this session. Tomorrow I'll write why I had this monkey tilt.
Super stupid spewy monkey tilt graph:

Today's sexy graph:


WOW that graph looks like you have gotten some real improvements! I really enjoy reading blogs about people learning the raskolnikov style! Its amazing how fast you can improve if you have the right teaching and master to learn from!
Im thinking about taking some lessons also but it feels like a coach of his caliber would take a lot of money for his coaching, how does a student with only a NL25 bankroll afford the mastermind course and coaching from gordon himself?
@Defailer
I sold everything I had and took loan
Just kidding. You know I took HU Mastermind course and that was the foundation and most important part of my learning. It changed mine view on poker and taught me completely new things. So I think that if you considering Raskolnikov coaching you should start from course and then go for his coaching. It's great investment because you will have huge ROI and it's definitely worth it.
I have accumulated emotions. That was only matter of time when it will shows up. I never ever had a monkey tilt. I had two options. I can pretend that nothing happen and I have great mindset or I can accept that it happen and change few things to evade this. Problem with those accumulated emotion is that I am kind of happy. I don't feel stressed or something but I still take too much stuff personally and it has impact on my tilt. It's hard to spot that when you are happy. To pretend hand like those:

I'll work out four times a week. Good thing is that in our Mindset group we start working on our body as well so we'll probably have some competition with it. It won't be so easy to get rid of them but now I am aware of them and I prepared myself for them.
I am doing back ups and do format. I need 64bit Windows to use fully potential from my PC. Today I should done everything.
I did format and now my laptop has 64 bit OS. It works well. It's weird for me that everything work so well and fast I must get to used to it. I am improving fighting with accumulated emotions that's why today after work out I did warm and cold shower three times. It was very painfull (I think it will be painfull for first month or two) but it should help calm down my body and mind. It supposed to relax whole body and improve regeneration.
I am so happy that I work out at the gym otheriwse I would be very very fat. Today after hard core work out I ate whole bread, two cottage chesse and almost whole jar of nutella like chocolate that my father gave me yesterday. It was huge meal and to be honest I would eat even more if I would have something else to eat.... ♦
Last two days I was playing bad. Not spazzy or something it was just bad. I am reawatching HU mastermind becuase this is what will help me most to play solid poker. I do hero calls sometimes. I leveling, do fancy play and do other BS what is wrong. I need again learn how to do it in Gordon way.
1-3 It really depends from opponent. There are guys who play mega out of the line and it's hard to find an algorithm for their play and there are guys who play rather "solid". I mean they don't play solid poker but they play their solid poker. When I find out their alogirth and do few notes I can focus on different opponents.

@GarlicYum
It were two sessions
My longest session is 440 min. You don't need that much stamina when you eat three meals while playing
It's funny how our mindset group works. We use Gordon idea with paying cash for not doing something. I love money and I don't like to lose money, that's why it works twice as good for me. Yesterday after session I was mega tierd and last thing I wanted to do was those stupid mindset exercise but still losing cash was to painfull for me. It was funny becuase I was swearing for ten minutes how dumb I was to do those commitments but still I did those exercise and went sleep.
I know I should inspire myself and do everything with huge smile. Realitty is that I swear out loud for ten minutes and then do those things. For me it really doesn't matter how I do those things the most important thing is that I do them. I know it's kind of funny that we use something that primitive to force ourselves to do more but it works, pain is our greates motivator.
Almost last thing what Franek want to do when he wake up is going for a 5km walk. I said almost because last thing he want to do is paying me 100$ for not doing that... ♦ He's phone is tracked by GPS and I know exaclty where he had this walk and how long it took. I had the same comitment with gym. I must go 4 times a week. I like gym but it was always hard for me to go 4 times a week. Nothing change except that if I don't do that I'll pay him 100$. I am also tracked and he can check how much time I spent at the gym and where I was.
That tracking thing is creepy ♦ Anyways, full respect for what you are doing ♠_thumbsup:

Thanks. It's creppy it's pain in the ass and it's painfull still it works so it's worth it

Definetely two worst days in my whole life when it comes to running bad. I want to crush something. Good thing is that those mental exercsie teach me how to deal with it. I was mega angry but still playing my game. Maybe in next few months I'll learn how to no get pissed about those things.
Next losing day. I am not even angry or something. I'll have my free day tomorrow and we'll see does it change on monday. It stops impact me I am kind of emotionless. It usually works that way when I have too much emotions in a short peroid of time I stop feeling anything nor anger nor happines nothing. I think my brain just did a break. I had many times like that and I kind of like that state. I am very calm.
