Welcome to EN smice12!

Best of luck with this marathon and hope to see you around our forum and don't worry, you'll never be homeless here in EN

Monday, bloody monday.. Or not. Actually I dont hate mondays much anymore. It´s raining and windy, +5celcius and my morning jogging was wonderful After that some studies and 500hundred hands. Zoom, nl2:

I played only 2tables, my mind was little bit in old monday feelings. I tried 3-4 table, but it didn´t work this morning. Couple of spots where I wasn´t so sure what would be the best action, but overall that session was easy. Deck was hot, villains were still drunk (?) and I was all alone

Next some hand analysis, yesterdays session review and then we´ll hit the gym!!

There is something familiar about you ♦ Good luck to you also with your Marathon!! Actually I already have one or two of those goodies, so Im here only for the coaching

Yes!!! Im running really good today!! Time to celebrate

That´s from normal nl5 tables. My AK vs KK and some setup i dont remember, were hot today. It´s really f..ing great when this things are good to me!!!!! Yei!!! Let´s keep that rolling for this month!!!

Okay, and now back to earth. It did take 2hours for me to analyze my session from yesterday. Not even whole session, just marked hands (14). Most of them were quite easy, but example that JJ hand I posted here to analyze, took long time. And it´s not finished yet..

Time to sing some lullabys now and say hello to sandman (okay, prettier part of me is going to bed, and her voice was little bit icy when she said "It´s really okay my love, u can spend ur whole night in the net, as u always do"..

finished Finnish

I like what you did there. Hope the month goes well for you.

Tuesday (tiistai).

2 sessions today. I mixed nl2/nl5 zoom and normal tables. Stars and Ipoker. Nothing really special, except

I did those normal routines, hand/range evaluation, Ev-math and sessioanalyze. Jogging, joga, light muscle exercise and poker. Thats nice

Sessions went ok, i would rate my play 7/10. But i need to practice my thought process more more and more!!! But i´m satisfied with my redline, that´s not bad, considering i´m mostly playing zoom. And my mentalside is improved some from the summer. Back then, i just tilted so easy and started play so spewy and loose after one or two suckouts..

Time to relax, think tomorrow is off from poker. Traveling back to home from girlfriends place. Easy times ahead

Enjoy the day off then!

Hi ya!!

My lesson number one: Stick to your plan!! I played yesterday, more than normally in a day.. I shouldn't. No warm up, no studying.. I got back home, took sauna and light evening snacks and opened net and after a while realized i´m in the middle of the game. Playing nl5, normal tables, loosing some flips, taking a little heat and there you go

This month:

It´s really funny (no, it´s not funny at all) when i try to move nl5, playing normal tables, doom hits me, aggromonkeys hits all turns, fishes have runner runners and finally TiltGnome (bluered, hairy, bloody and smelly, really annoying and aggrolike little piece of shit ) finds me..

Oh well, well is deep and cold, so is Finnish winter and bad run..

Maybe some studying today.. and actually the graph isn´t that bad at the end. I played nl5 zoom last 500 hundred hands.

Off you go now..

Oh dear, I'm sure you have what it takes to turn it around though. I do agree, stick to the plan the next time

Run better for the next update!

Lazy day, (truth, lazy 2 days). Didnt study so much, not much exercise, but i ate alot

Session went good, even i was tired and skypeing at the same time (bad boy, shame on you!!). It´s friday and u just need to play nittish to make a profit at the micros, no fancy games ( i should play like that always, but i love spewing so much..).

Hi Smice.

Amazing winrate for a day, wonderful indeed ♦ Maybe you hit a heater, but that sort of a winrate is hard to achieve without some good play, too. Keep up the good work and avoid me if I happen to play on NL5

Lately, f...c this shit. How the hell those guys at nl5 always beat me??? My sets no good, my house no good, my KK/AA no good... And when i go to nl2, no worries mate, I run like god. :f_confused:

When i´m trying to slowplay my aces, this will never happen to me..

Well, maybe I should learn how to play.. when i called that shove, i immediately realized that he cant have any Ax hands, or he is really spewy (ou no wait, i´m the spewy.. ♦) But i think he played this hand well.

So, back to nl2 again.. need to grind 25$ to start nl5. I dont wanna
Maybe i just keep smashing my head and continue with nl5, if i go broke, then John Lennon says: Let it be.. for a while atleast.

Looks like short term variance at 5NL.

If you can beat the fish at 2NL then you can smash those guys too!

Thanks!! I know that I´m able to crush nl5. I think I have to work out my mental issues also. It´s all about fear, fear of spewing and failure. I have a bad habit to check my results while i´m in the middle of session. Mostly when I´m loosing. There´s that urge what makes you check, " -2bin, u need to grind that up before session ends, i dont wanna loose again..." And that´s makes me spew. That makes me fear to loose money ----> result oriented, not good.

I´m learning here, trying to do my best for learning!! It´s not about the money, not yet. My dream (i´m not quite sure whether it´s a goal yet) is to earn my living playing this game. I want also help my parents to get better financial state and hopefully give them freedom to rest. They have earned it!! My life long term goal is to be free of financial struggles and learn how to enjoy my life here. Maybe those goals are irrelevant to each other, and I´ll find answer for that during my steps towards.

Now, some studying and afterwards little session.

No updates ---> loosing, spewing and downswing. Just cant win at the moment, so keeping quiet.

Hands 23k
Profit: -2,6 bb
