Regards,

Skod

Thank you both guys!
Just finished an other winning session!I was a winner for about 3BI.
I don't know if i am right or wrong,but i think the big variance that i had in my start was because i 3bet a lot with some near premium hands but i lucked of postplay. Also i was playing my speculative AAxx hands very hard, like 3b from the B-S blind position too much,as a result i played a lot of postflop coinflips and cause of bad luck i lost most of them(that is variance,i think!!! .)When i calmed down i start make more profit from these hands.I think i can control the pot better, also opponents fold postflop much easier in single raise pots.
Just a note: by saying calmed down, I don't mean i play passive.

Hi everybody!!!
An update after a long time!

I didn't played more than 5 days in February cause i didn't had any time at all,because of my exams.Finally i am done with my exams,so now i have a lot of free time to play poker!
I decided that i will make some small changes to my "plan".
First of all, I will restart my trip from 100$->7000$ and not from 200$,
that is because i had to buy the HM2 and i think that i should spend only poker money for poker "things".I also will spend a part of that money to buy a silver pokerstrategy subscription for the next months,cause my Pkstrs account in not tracked, also I live in Greece as i said and i can play only on 2-3 poker sites from Pkrstrategy.so when i make an account there i would like to take advantage of the full bonus!
I had about 250$ and i cashout the 150$.
Also rakeback/cash bonus will take place in this "tour"!As i think, I should escape from micros the quickier possible.

The good think that i finished the "PLO from the scrach" e-book and also i saw the "PLO school" series.I didn't play more on the tables cause i was coming home to late from my Uni and when i had some small sessions i was making to many horrible mistakes, so I desided to stop playing until the end
of my exams.

So here we start, again!

Starting Bankroll: 100$
Net Won: 26.68$
Bonus/Rakeback: -
Total: 126.68$

Just finished a very long Session I was a winner for 27.49$ about, I think it is a nice start!

As i can see with a quick session review that i made I lose to much in small pots, I mean here and there. Also i i called to much from the blinds, about 16% i think is too much, my overall Vpip is 20% and my Pfr is 14%.
I know that my hand sample is too small, but in a normal hand sample how much % of my hands should i play from the blinds?
I would like to mention that i play zoom tables.

Probably i will play one more small session for tonight!
Also the plan for the next days of Februar is just to play about 4000 hands per day and make some sessions reviews.
From reading/videos etc. i will just want to watch the live coachings by Skodljivec.I will start the Trouble spot series the next month.

Just finished my 1 hour session, here are my results:

I think i played enough for today! Probably i will go to take some rest now and hope to play tomorrow the same number of hands with the same or better results!

Starting Bankroll: 100$

Just finished a 2 hour session, I was very lucky and I was a big winner.Yestrerday I didn't play as much as I wanted because I had a very bad start in the first 15 min. of my session, I lost about 5 BIs, so I decided to stop, Tilt.
But today, I returned to the tables and I took my BIs back plus much more. :f_biggrin:

I will just post a hand here, in which I was a winner and Lucky!
I know that it is correct to go all-in with AAxx hands pre-flop,
but I want to ask if it is good to play so aggressive with 300+ bbs stacks or it if preferable to go for a more controled pot.

Hiiiii!!!!!!
+4 BIs in my last session,which ended before some minutes. Now I will make a break to watch some football and I will return for an other bigger session in about 2 hours.
I wanted to reach the gold VIP stayus this month, but probably I can't.
Maybe next month.
Also, I reached the 200$, which means I am about +20BIs the last 3 days.
I hope to continue running the same and be able to take my shot to the PLO5
tables when I reach 350$.

Hi everyone!
Unfortunately I had some troubles with my PC the last days,I don't know why,
but it crashed all of a sudden!
The only solution was format!So I couldn't play the last days and also I lost all my HM data and notes.
The good news are that I made the format yesterday and everything works fine now. I played about 2500 hands today, the results are +5BIs.
I am not going to play anymore for today cause I am tired, but I will sit down and make my poker plan (targets to reach in Match).

Hi everyone!

Ty Skodljivec, I try to be a careful as I can, I am quitting from tables when I am -4BIs, also when I understand that I am on Tilt.

I just finished playing, I was a winner today for about 5 BIs.

Here is my graph from my last 2 days:

Plus,I reach a Pokerstrs milestone +10$ in my Bankroll
So my Bankroll is 259.75$

Now I think it is time to review February and to put my new goals for March.

The February goals was:
1. Play 5 days per week(100min session+30min study) [-] (I did't play much,lack of time)
2.Take the shot to 10PLO (reach a 350$ bankroll 50BI in PLO5+10 BI in PLO10)[-](as a result of the above)
3.Read the "PLO from the Scratch" eBook until chapter 9(I am reading part 6 at the moment)[+](I read all the book,I started re-reading that slowly)
4.Watch as many videos as I can from "Skodljivec's School of PLO"[+](I finished the series)
5.Join in Thursday's PLO training[+](I joined in almost all the PLO coachings)

So, I didn't play enough,but I think it is OK, cause I read more than I had to.And I know that is better to play more than studying(80%-20%),but because it was my first months with the game, I think that this help me very much.

So, on my March goals I will need some help with some videos.

My Goals for March:
1.Play about 2-3 per day,5 days a week, plus a session review after very session.
2.Be ready to take a Shot at PLO25
3.Watch 4 videos from the Trouble Spot series, 1 every week preferably and try to evolve my game.
4.Join most of the Thursdays coachings
5.Watch some Schnitzelfisch videos and try to apply them,also, start reading slowly the "Skyrocketing Guide".

Here,on my last goal is were I need your recommendations.
I would like you to tell me,which Schnitzelfisch's videos should I watch.
Should I start from his Coaching Podcast or it is better to start from one of his series.
Hope that somebody could help me with that.

Just finished an 2.3k session. Everything went fine,until the last 50 hands of my session,which I lost something more than 3BIs, final result +21.88$,I will play one more session a little bit later maybe.
I was quite unlucky in the lasts hands, in one hand my opponent had straight flush and I had "nut" flush.
And on an other,the villain had four of a kind,my hand Full house with AAxx hand on a A-4-4 flop

I just reached 310$!!! One more good session and I will be ready to take my first Shot to PLO10!
The session, that I finished before some minutes was really great!
In general, today I am +35$ and I am going to play an other big session.
Yesterday night I played about 5 and a half hours, until 7 a.m.
In this big session as a result I lost 10$,but collect many fpps and I reached
a cashback reward.

very nice results man - congratulations

will you be on skype the next couple of days???

anyway, great work - keep on crushing ♠_cool:

Ty Rains7,
I send you yesterday a pm on Skype,in case you didn't see that
I had to travel yesterday to my Hometown for some days,I didn't played
much,but the results were great!
I didn't had my pc,so I played from a laptop without a HUD.
At the start of the first session I tried to play zoom, but without HUD.......
really difficult I think!
I changed immediately to normal tables.
I searched for some high VPIP>50 with big Av.Pot>2 and when I found some
I started playing!!!
At the end of my session, I was +40$!
Exactly the ammount that I need to take my First 10BI Shot to PLO10!!!
My Bankroll reached the first station 351.07$

So today

Aent4x VS PLO10 !!!
The First Shot!

Starting Bankroll: 100$
Net Won: 206.07$
Bonus/Rakeback: 45$
Total: 351.07$

I played my first session to PLO10!I won about 5BIs.
The opponents at PLO10 is more aggressive than PLO5,which I think is a very good thing for me!
I believe they will "pay" better my good hands.
Now I am going to watch the first episode from the Trouble Spot series and then some episodes from "One Piece" and take a little rest.

Starting Bankroll: 100$

Ty Rain7 again!

I played about 500 hands today morning, +17$ the results!
People in the early hours of the day are very lose!
Maybe I have to think about changing my session hours,
I think it is better to play 6-7 am.
