Found this piece on Delau's Blog in the English forums. Delau had picked this up from Zaza's Blog on 2p2.

Anyway, I think that most people in here have the wrong role models. If u would focus a bit more on how to improve ur game, work with crev flopzilla or watever useful program, instead of always looking for the most plus ev game out there than u might have a better game as a result. I remember starting out at 1knl in january last year. I didnt even plan to move up before having a few solid months . But on the 3rd i remember thinking * it , lets go. I was minus ev in alot of hu lineups. I remember battling jinmay, the guy is a * beast. I also played clawviper up to 6,7,8 tables hu at 1k at the time he was still considered to be good. My point being, i mite have increased my variance a lot, but i improved a lot , by thinking about some of those matches. thinkin about how some of them played certain hands on different textures, I suppose trying to make sense of it. I dont work with any programs so thats the way i go about it when i try to improve my game. Can u go the scripter , hardcore bumhunter route, sure u can and u can have success, theres enough examples on 2p2 about that, i dont need to name any names. But u will never learn how to handle real pressure, u wont get into sick dynamics, u wont really ever have the time, to notice a difference in strategy a better opponent might use, cos ur just worried about ur next jesus seat. i think this is the biggest issue most guys have, its more important to not give away the slightest edge away, than actually getting better at this game. trust me noone is born a freakin 20 tabler. I mean some ppl have different cognitive abilities than others, but i dont think its a skill that is impossible to learn. I think the difference lies in the depth of ur knowledge. If u look at ur preflop decisions, they are made in the blink of an eye, and if it were about preflop , anyone could do it. I think u can achieve a similar level about flop turn and river textures. I mean i see a lot of guys who play 6-8 table who just snap around so much , that its mindboggling how they couldnt play more tables. I kinda derailed this, im not trying to make an argument in favour of masstabling, but about the lack of insight and inability to recognize what matters. my former roomate vegasmidas is probably one of the toughest regs I could encounter at the tables, and this includes any so called 2p2 sicko I have played against, and its not even close. I remember him analyzing textures for hours and hours in malta and writing down pages and pages. He might not have won as much money as he could have, but I believe his day will come. The future belongs to people that recognize that being a student of the game is far more important than the shortterm ev a lot here seem to be looking at. At the end of the day everybody has got to do what they gotta do , and thats fine. It is what it is, I just hope the current situation and economy will either improve or stay as it is. anyway I dont even know where this was heading but im outta gas. ^^

Well, its time to come clean.

I had a staking deal going with 3 of my friends and I decided to end it as I no longer felt the need for it.

I rebuilt my BR from 10 Bis for 10 nl to about 25 BIs. On a drunken night I decided that I will 2 table 50nl zoom. To cut a long story short I was left with 10% of my BR after it.

I look back at my short poker career. The last 6 months or so have always been about rebuilding rebuilding. The only reason being lack of discipline. Honestly I cant think of any other reason.
The situation is slightly better now that I've come to accept the fact that I cant get ahead if i dont apply and practice rigorous BRM.
