[November Marathon] - [mesisification] - From NL25 to NL50 in a heartbeat!

Hey mesisification,

it's awesome that you've found my videos so useful :).

Since I want to help you out even more, I have two questions for you:

1) What's your #1 productivity issue at the moment?
2) Is there anything that isn't covered in the existing videos that you would like me to cover in the future ones?

Thanks,

-Primoz

Hey!

1) It's a little bit hard to name only one productivity issue since I'm a total productivityfish. There's a lot to improve on every area but the #1 productivity issue would propably be procrastination. When I decide to do an essay for school for example I end up finishing it 3am or something. If I decide to play 3 hours of poker today, I most likely either end up playing that 3h at 9pm while I could've started much earlier, or I end up playing just 1 hour or so. This is propably a really common problem and many people has it more or less but I feel like this problem could be eliminated somehow.

2) I don't really know, I've found pretty much every video useful for me and I haven't watched them all yet, so I can't really say. I don't have any specific wishes really.

Thank you!

I moved down to NL25, since my bankroll went under 20BI. Not feeling mad or anything, just gotta grind it back. Hopefully I'll be able to win at NL25 and move up soon!

You can do it

It's also great that you are sticking with the plan

Thanks HollyMichelle

I've played 100k hands on pokerstars now, my overall winrate is 5,02. It could be better, but I'm quite pleased about it, atleast I'm winning! I've noticed that I'm winning much more from normal tables than from zoom, maybe I should play only normal tables from now on... Sample size is not that big though.

Are you hoping to grind for diamond and our NL Santas next month?

I'm not really hoping to get diamond but it would be cool for sure. And yeah I'd like to be a part of the NL Santa group!

Definitely looks worth grinding for if possible!

As I've said, I'm currently reading Mental Game of Poker. Ongoing week has been somewhat hard because I've faced many mental game problems. For that reason I will read Mental Game of Poker for like 15 minutes every day. I will make notes and I'm gonna use the things I learn in practice.

I've played approximately 29k hands this far. My winrate has been somewhere around 4bb/100, but the results are pretty much breakeven since I lost a few buyins at NL50. Again, I'm happy that I have a solid, positive winrate but I could definitely do better.

Before todays first session, I will do some warm-up, which I've never really done. I will make goals for the session and after session I will review how I did. The most important thing I've learned this far by reading Mental Game of Poker is realizing that I am a mental game fish. Just knowing that fact makes me feel a little bit better, and what's even more important is that I want to improve on that area much more that I used to.

First session goals:

• Use the power of position. Position versus these TAG NL25 regulars is just golden. Use that as your advantage as much as possible and readjust as soon as they start to call/4bet your 3bets or doing something weird postflop.
• Mark all the hands you find difficult and are worth talking about.
• Take notes as much as possible.
• Table select. if you're playing with 5 other regulars, look for another table.
