Duh helloooow!!

Manu and TT asked me if i want to be humiliated publicly during their coaching this sunday, so everyone better tune in if you want to see some spewing action :f_biggrin:

In other news, I'm behind in the book reading, I'm ahead on the volume, everything else is good.
Today n tmr gotta study for school, there is a pre-exam period exam tmr, so it wld be nice to have it done.

Heyho,

Sunday review by TT and Manu was really great.
Couple of things was pointed out to me so I am working on it.
Thanks a lot guys!

-lack of focus/attention to every hand : Play less tables
I tried playing less tables, but it doesn't really help me. I might have some disorder, but the blank space where there is table missing really annoys me. Tried to put replayer there, but it just doesn't feel right.
Found a solution though. I am playing 4 tables, but I dont mash buttons, even for standard-ish folds I take a second to look around. It feels good sofar, not losing focus, i THINK i am not missing as many spots as before. Hope it is true

-general loosenes preflop : Open less hands
I am working on it. I have defined opening ranges, but somehow I am getting higher vpip/pfr now. Probably paying more attention to the spots is a factor in this, cuz I somehow find myself in a good spot to 3b/squeeze/steal/resteal pretty much all the time. Will see how it develops, maybe its just the hands distribution of last couple K hands.

-marking oponnents : Mark oponnents
I do that constantly now, I deleted all the old marks, couple hundred hands I dedicated to mark everyone I had some stats on and I keep on marking 1new guy everyhand now.

Q1: How many groups of players are optimal? reasons?
I made it simple for me now : REG/FISH/WHALE/ASSHOLE(ss/mss)
I thought about dividing regs into 4b/folders:flatters to know whether to 3b pola or depo vs them, but its prob not worth it ?

-note taking : Take notes
I struggle with this. I mark hands I want to take a note of and make the note after sessions. I feel it distracts me to take notes while playing, esp w hotkeys its really tilting and playing w/o hotkeys is tilting too, so i guess I ll just have to stick to getting flamed for being a fish in this :f_mad:

Q2: Get notecaddy?

-dont be lazy, nl25 is not a challenge : Play, analyze and shoot agresivelly
I intend to. Last night I set BR rules for shot-taking etc. Beating nl25 9,7 EVbb/hh, so I expected to take a shot next week. Might take longer after today :f_confused:

Whine alert. Today's first session doesn't really help my plan :f_eek:

I just color code into RED - aggro, creative regs, YELLOW - standard regs, LIGHT BLUE - nits, GREEN - fish obv, PURPLE - lunatics. Don't think there's a need to color code 4b flatters etc, you have your HUD for that, can give color to important numbers there if that's your thing.

I personally find too many colors to be distracting rather than helpful.

Muhehe, epic fliping skills, $200 from the PS challenge :f_cool:

I got bit behind with the volume, have problems using my time well atm. Family and friends are bit demanding right now and it just always fucks up my whole day when I gotta keep in mind something I have to do later/ I did earlier.
I feel bit overexcited for the game when I actually get to it and it drives me mad.
Really wierd, I really want to play, but cant keep myself in it for more than 500hands at a time.
52k hands this month, 5.3bb/hh, EV is 9.9, I guess im good to take the shot, GL me. _evil:

Ellow!

Took 2 2bi shots on 50, first one ended in 400 hands :f_o:, held up bit longer the second time, but again, back to 25 in the end.
I might have bit too much respect and try to adjust in wrong spots, thinking everyone is thinking blabla. I just dont play as confidently and comfortably as on 25.
Will need bit of a heater for the start next time I try to get comfy.. Once that is done, I guess I should do ok there, it is not so different after all :f_p:

Meanwhile, totally raping 25, had bit of a brainfart yday, when I spewed like a tard. Nvm, got it back in today's morning session by playing solid again. Ez game

Poeple are so helpless against the min5bets, its ridiculous. Everyone gives u credit first couple of times, but the something snappes in them and they go bananas _evil:

hmm, so poker content doesn't interest you much!

So, lets go to the gym. It seems like a trend that many poker plrs and ppl that are working from home tend to be into fitness for balance.

Seen couple of guys posting pics of their progress in their blog so I shall join their ranks. Right now im bit meh, but from december I will do a 6months plan from a friend of mine, who is v good, well educated fitness/nutrition specialist
Atm got 75kg, plan is 80kg RIPPED as fuck by June.
I have extremly fast metabolism so putting on weight is bit difficult for me, but hopefully we ll figure something out.

Good friday evening, everyone!

I happened to be a lucky guy, who got his hands on a great opportunity to make a proper comeback!

BrokeSoBroke was looking for new students for his new coaching projects and I shall be his minion for a long-term deal.

Up until Dec 31, 2014 I shall be mentored by him.
The plan is get to the 200nl as soon as possible and crush it to dust.

I will be updating on my progress in here and I hope it will be interesting to follow!

Good Luck!

Heyya!

So, news.. We are working intenively, almost everyday sweats/reviews/talks..
THere were lots of leaks to be fixed, fixing them one hand at a time.
Seems to be going well so far, numbers look better than before, so it is just a matter of time when I start crushing real bad!

It is really great and I feel that I am improving all the time, feeling very good about this!

I am still at nl25 unfortunately, lot of things are going on financially, so it is bit dificult with the BR for me, but hopefully it wont take long before everything is settled and we can take some shots..

10bb/hh while below EV.. proper BsB style!
