Pleno1 2014

Yeh often recreational players join the party too. It's usually way less than 20. Around 7-8 handed is common

There's nothing wrong with a small beer, but why not have a large beer, following your philosophy it will surely taste even better with a bigger beer and a little patience?

I have a story about an old bull and a young bull and a whole herd of cows like that but...:)

So how hard is it to make money - and stay focused - at nl1K when the pool is about 20 players? That surely is ony interesting for a short time, then fun for a short time owning and having a laugh, then...meh?

The smaller the pool the more fun surely...especially if good regs play the most tables it pretty much becomes normal poker again with proper dynamics and leveling wars.

Fair enough, thank you, I stand firmly corrected. I shall now get my coat...

Well that is a nice coincidence, cause yesterday in the evening, and btw - for the first time -, I somehow saw that nl1k is running, and before getting into my session, saw that Patrick is playing, and decided to watch some hands, since there were just like ~20 ppl, and a LOT of action ♦ And as it turns out - you and I, watched THE SAME HANDS ♦ The ones that I accidentally stumbled upon in like 10minutes gap of watching, and not only that, but also pasted to Patrick on skype ... ♦ ♦ AND I NOW go to this blog, and like - wtf ? why is this guy posting THESE EXACT hands here Anyway, "don't worry", bro, you're not the only stalker here ♦ ♦

Hey pleno!

Gonna follow your blog for sure

GL with everything!!!

I just don't see how a big beer can ever be better than a small beer. There's no way the last 20% can taste better than the first 20% of a new beer. I mean I just can't see how it is remotely close?

Hmm I think that you have a little edge $ wise if you buy a big beer. In Austria it is like this:

Small beer ->2,50€ (0.25l)
Big beer -> 3,20 € (0,5l)

So nobody here drinks small beers.

Beasted today pretty hard. Started playing at around 6ish when Newcastle game finished and played without breaks till mid-night. Was really in the zone, pretty early I was close to tilt quitting after kk v aa 4 times but kept at it and ended the day with a nice profit and great VPP amount, the most I have made this year in one day I think.

Had a 9.5k stack on one 1k table which felt pretty big! Was trying to grind it to 10k for obligitary picture, but it wasnt to be and ended up finishing the session when I was starting to feel pretty tired.

Going to have a huge dinner tomorrow somewhere and then have a decent session.

Have started looking at live tournaments, Im not sure why, its just an easy way to blow thousands of dollars that you work really hard for. Vienna EPT and Vegas WSOP are on my mind at the moment, waiting for the WSOP schedule to come out, the 10k 6max is far away from the main event unfortunately otherwise would have loved to have put a package up and played both of them.

Had a busy day helping a friend today then came home and played good and ran very well. Pretty funny at 1knl I make a really sick river bluff and villain folds probably top set or something when getting good price on the river. V soon later he sees me 5b-call KQo in a stupid spot for 130bbs vs KK and then proceeds to just value cut himself all session vs me. Ended up one of biggest winning days of the year and continues the pretty silly heater I am on right now, whilst still running under ev. Hoping to continue putting good volume in throughout the rest of the month, but Im quitting sessions earlier when feeling like dropping below B or C game.

Its funny because so many people are bum hunting but there is 10 or so of us just battling it out at 1k zoom, it must be the toughest games online right now and Im not sure how smart it is that I always sit and never sit out depending on the field However I was thinking about it today, I know that in 2 months I will be way better than I am now and I know that I am way better now than I was 2 weeks ago. I need to keep progressing and whilst Im plus ev in a game, at least in my mind Im going to keep battling, learning alot and try to be the very best that I can be. To really get to the top you have to work hard, you have to be prepared to play hard, youve got to be able to be tough and got to be able to be extrmeely self critical and analytical. Anyone asking me for advice at smaller stakes would be dont just be who everybody else wants you to be, dont be a 21-18 that people want you to be, find your own style, be prepared to make mistakes as long as youre prepared to work and learn from them.

I'm joining the party a little bit late, but of course my best wishes to you, Patrick. Will happily follow your progress and come here for motivation. Vamos.

Decided I'm going to have 3-5 days away in Europe somewhere in April or maybe late march Just looking for somewhere with very good weather, nice food and chilled. Would possibly be going by myself but may take a friend too. Important that weather is guaranteed to be very good by say march 20th. Price is not important.

Any ideas?

You should come to Scotland. I will show you places and in return will give me free coaching.

hi bud,

hard that somebody can guarantee you a nice weather in Europe late March or April.

May could be safer if you ask me. And in May I would recommend st Tropez, Ibiza, or Dubrovnik.. Depends what kind of entertainment you look for.

Algarve or even Lisbon, both in Portugal

Malta, Cyprus, Canaries

Malta ftw, although Algarve is pretty cool too.

Galway bro. Decent amount of precipitation at the mo.

Just come down to Straya! The weather's always good
