CRAI that last hand OTT against unknown fish :f_biggrin: He can have us crushed, but the pot isn't that big since he is short-stacked and he wont fold any Q, J, A, T, flushdraw. Or maybe he does, that's good for us too.

Nice video.

I have been grinding alot in honour of the november marathon (65k hands)
One of my alltime goals is soon a reality: Diamond status at pokerstrategy!!! Cant beleave I am going to make it!! Can anyone say what good videos I should watch when i get it?

Im so exited about poker.. I think the short dropdown has paid off and now I have a better opportunity to beat that nl50zoom (I think the more aggro style has incresed my edge a little bit). Bankroll is in much stable state then it used to be. I think the 50buyin is a minimun one should have and I am going to stick to nl50 untill I have atleast 50 buyins for nl100 + have been coached by some1 that beats nl 100 zoom.

To cut the story short:

Vpp's:10786
strategypoints: 6379

So its a little over 1k points to go! Gl on tables guys!

Ps. Feedback from video would be nice :]

I guess pretty much every diamond video would be worth watching :)

Congrats on a sick month and I'm looking forward to see that coat of diamond on you very soon!

Hi mates!

Its been a while since i've posted a graph so maybe I should show you how I am doing so far.

Here is the graph from the whole November:

And here is the graph after I came back from nl25 with new weapons for nl50 zoom...

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I Have to say that it was a very good decision to build my confidence and learn new weapons at nl25 for a while. I think I am now much more confident and aggressive in the right spots compared to what I used to be.

Summary:

Vpp's: 11960

Strategy points: 7050

I am so close in finishing this Project! Just have to grindgrindgrind!!

Gl to all in tables and in life!

Cheers, Veini

I think as I haven't posted any hands I might aswell share this interesting hand with you guys :) Villian is a good reg at the nl50 zoom.

flop: flouting because villian cbets 88% and he has to give us credit on this texture.

Turn: he decides to bet again quite big and I think this could be a good spot to rep a set of 33's or 88's I am not always c/r sets on the flop. If villian calls we still have the clubs to bluff on and jacks to save our arse. So I need to get like 60% FE on turn and even if he calls we have 14 "outs" on the river. I chose a sizing I can pot bet river and which makes villians flushdraws (atleast the ones without A ) fold.

River: we bink the nuts and ofc shoving here as its so hidden. Villian thinks the timebank to the end and says "oh well you cant always have a set of 33's" and makes the call with the middle set blocker.

very interesting leveling between me and him. Later on we exchanged skypes and have been sweating each other to improve our game.

Last update:

The whole month was a huge success! I managed to make of poker something like 2,5k which is very good for a students diet ;) I ended up getting platinumstar and nearly 15k vpp's on pokerstars. Also achieving a few thousand strategy points from 24h-pokers normal tables. At the end of the day I think the most valuable part of this Project was when I moved down to nl25 and worked on my game. From a player shotting nl50-zoom with 30bi I managed to achieve a 75bi roll for the stake and the mindset to crushing it.

My next goal is to grind 50 bins for nl100 zoom. Get couched for a shot, hopefully make some decent money and more importantly take a further step in my poker "career" to the nl100 games.

Thank you very much for this November marathon! It has been an enormous motivator to get better at this game.

Here is the final results:
