Lol if your new computer can't handle that, you better bring it back

I think the better question is, can the man behind that new computer handle it :f_biggrin:

Computer is crazy fast really. Still adjusting to it + different table look and seat preference... Add to this that I didn't grind 4-5 days = lots of swings and fun ! :)

Go write shit in your blog analyze hands and trip people how you are in ds and ready to play 60-100s limits - nobody gives a shit about it here. Hope that was clear enough and its my last writing to your posts, from now on will report them as spam.

Well, was that so hard? You finally decided to tell me to leave the blog. What am I, a mind reader?

Have fun, won't be coming back here again.

No hard feelings :f_love:

*flies away*

PS: Don't respond to this post in a provoking manner or I'll be inclined to answer it.

It was ok, 151 games today but it will be better once everything settles with poker office (painting, internet, cleaning, other guys moving in) - things are a bit chaotic now tbh.
Tomorrow have so many things to do, will try to play at least 150 as I will not grind in the evening going to meet up with a friend later !

Feels great to start day off very early.
Went to sleep at 5am, woke up 8am and finished bunch of things already!
About to play 1st session of the day followed by review. As we speak there is a painter here doing all the work , I will be drunk on paint today for sure :)

Some weird problem, perhaps somebody knows solution for it ?
Yesterday stars hotkeys worked without any problem, today I had to click on firefox browser for them to work. They also work when I close HM1. With HM1 they don't today.
I restarted Poker Stars client, did the same with HM1 but it didn't get fixed. I can't play without my hotkey functions , played about 12-14 tables and stopped , want to resolve this ASAP.

Change of plans, staying in office to grind until 1-2 am, meeting friend on Monday. So far 85 games with some sick upswing after 3.8 hours of playing. The whole hotkey problem slowed me down a lot , since it works now it will be much easier to continue grinding.

157 games, 1x30$ rest 15$ + played some hypers and worked on the game
Very productive day overall , tomorrow will push for more turbo games and will talk more about VPP goal (not that far behind actually)

Have a good night everyone!

What sort of bankroll you have currently? Just curious if you are planning to go for 60$ hypers next year. BRM requirements for such games are way higher than in 15$ turbo. Tougher field and faster format which easily mean low EV ROI. That combined with quite much bigger buyin will easily bring big big swings that might have bigger effect on your mental side than you expect.

Of course if you are planning to play staked and find stakers these might not be that big obstacle.

Well only 100 buy ins for 15s and that has been enough (so far).
For hypers and 60s, if that happens I will play stacked and coached. I would think that investment of minimum 300 buy ins will be needed for that level of hypers, perhaps even more so I guess 18 - 30k $ roll.
I have a long way to go before that happens. Have to keep up doing turbos to reach my primary goal for Stars (150k VPPs and bring my roi to 3% , right now its at 1.4% for 15s, after 12th of August when I switched to 12 tabling back its 3,9% ROI after 4.1k games) and besides that play hypers and study more so we are looking at 8-10 hour average days (excluding coaching!) until the end of the year (with some exception of course).
It is a lot to take on but I will fight for it, lets see what happens - I know I can always stay on 15s next year play turbos on my own or go to other network make potentially more then 3k after RB etc

I've read a little of this blog because Ivica is a friend of a friend and it looked like interesting reading material.

I never ever do this but with apologies to you Ivica, I'm going to spam your blog.

My post is aimed at the behaviour of PokerStrategy coach Lessthanthreee.

I don't know whether AJs was or wasn't a good call, and I don't care. What I do know is that such condescending, arrogant and childish behaviour is what you come to expect from sixteen year old teens, not PokerStrategy coaches / respected community members.

I lost all respect for that man. I mean he even invented the fishes range, based on absolutely nothing, for the sole purpose of insulting that other guy... Makes my blood boil when I see such ill bred behaviour coming from people who hold such great influence.

Based on prior posts if lessblabla chooses to reply I expect it to be in terms of : "who the f... do you think you are, what do you play and what do I, ya know how much moniez me have..", because that just seems to be his level.

Once more I am really sorry Ivica, never do this, but I had to say something, it just bugged me to much.

I just don't get why you posted here, seriously. If LTT bothers you, send him a private message, tell him what you think of him and that's that.
This way you came to somebody's blog, insulted LTT with this response (I am guessing) and now another line of arguing will be back and forth.

Now that one person interupted the harmony of this blog, I really don't like you or anyone else with argumentative behaviour comming here and (like you said) spamming blog.
Nothing against you, I think you just choose the wrong approach to write those things (I would have written them to LTT via private message if it bothered me!).

If you did read anything from this blog, you would know its diary type for keeping track of progress and results. I rarely post hands here, I don't and never will invite people to come here piss trash argue etc Simply that is plain bad manners and its total waste of time and energy. I also don't go to other people's blogs and tell them their are fish,idiots, to wish them run bad and so on. I think everyone who has a blog here should be respected in terms of what his/hers blog serves for here. Having said all of this, I urge you not to post more to provoke insult and spread hate here (even tough that might not be your intention), if you like/want/need to do it, do it somewhere else where it will be tolerated.

Played 1st session 43 games 1.9 hours 12-14 tabling
Have to say that games are much softer in the morning then afternoon evening. It might be because its Saturday and weekend but I will check during the week and see whats up.
Going now to watch Serbia vs Italy for 7th place that would gets us qualified for world championship in basketball. Later at 7pm my team Partizan Belgrade is playing so have to watch that also :) Lots of activities ;)

Can't think of pointless trolling reply to stir the pot So instead, I'll just wish you the best of luck with the hypers, Ivica!

Oh good, back to poker.
I've noticed over a fair period of time that on the more recreational or 'fun' sites I play at, mornings are as you say, very often very loose at no limit cash games as well. I've found Saturday and Sunday mornings to be hugely profitable and even mornings during weekdays as well.

Good luck and have fun with those turbo monsters, far too tilting for me to handle!
Oh and good luck for the Basketball to. :)

Mal.
