Managed to get up around 650$ this week; turned out to be a good week.
Important things to work on:
- Evacuate aggressiveness somewhere (sports or training (sports >>>>>> training))
- Create a schedule of play for after the exams (2 weeks) where I will be able to play full time
- Update goals
glgl with all your plans. Didn't play much recently and lost the database as my computer seems to have all sorts of problems currently... could be a good thing for the moment though as I can't play poker and have to study instead.
I read regularly in other blogs here and try to keep every information that could be useful to me, and it's with a lot of inspiration from others that I will build my goals and organisation
It seems that giving ourselves time to play type of goals doesn't work very well for everybody around so I will avoid that and fix weekly volume goals instead. For a week, I will aim to play 10k hands for the 1st week where I will begin my goals (after my exams). I will also have to review sessions by video or HH twice a week.
As it's the first time i set myself goals I won't feel too bad if I don't attain them although i'll give everything to do them and adjust for the next weeks if it's too hard already.
For the monthly goal i'll chose to have upgraded to NL100 once again (since the shot at NL200 I had to withdraw around 5K total that's why I play NL50 again. I do have enough BI's to bumhunt NL100 already but not enough to play regs there). And the other goal will be to follow the schedule of training that I will make myself without ever cheating. It will look something like 2x running per week and 3x gym per week.
And my life goal will be to live from poker at least a couple of years, travel around the world, be in a very good physical condition (I used to be the best in all sports at school and in organized teams I was always in the top but since I live by myself I don't do anymore sports and I miss it a lot).
Can't wait for school to finish so I can start owing some asses.
Oh I also decided to transfer a bit of money to Stars so I will play regs in the HU zoom pool and bumhunt on Ipoker and perhaps SuperStack Poker soon(as I got a very good deal there).
1st time I see this guy
suggest anyone to watch it as everybody loves magic

Long time since i didn't post...
Exams finally finished and started to play and am up almost 20 BIs on stars since the end of exams.
Running good on the HU zoom tables and the field is very soft also.
Started to wake up early (won't have choice this summer since I have to take gf to her job which is great to keep me waking up early) also did my 1st running this morning. Was tough, won't be so easy to get back in shape.
Tomorrow is gym and I don't expect it to be too easy also.
Semi-week graph coming up soon
Fucking bullshit end of week. Lost my ass off on Ipoker to ONLY FISH. it's just incredibly bad for the morale to lose to the worse players in the world.
On stars I blew the ass off those regs in the zoom pool... something like +23BI in 8k hands and lost like 1BI to fish there too.
Can't fucking win against fish and it's making me soooo mad.
Will switch to NL100 very soon, only need to transfer a bit of money from here to there.
Anyway here's the graph:
Next end of week will be more precise about goals and other stuff.
So far week is very swingy (+11BI yesterday and -9 today hehe)
Feel like I am improving at each hand that I play and I like way more playing poker when 2-3 tabling than when I play regs and fish at up to 6 tables where I am auto piloting as I feel that I don't have enough time to think through every decision
Exercise wize everything is good and I'm getting slowly back on track.
Glad to see your exercising goals are on track, I'm always behind there ♦
glgl in going up after this swingy period..
Thanks again Fran
This might be the reason why it's so swingy recently:

Things are going great lately, running under EV and still being able to show some nice winrates.
Contacted PokerStars' support so they could increase my deposit limits since I can't deposit anymore for some stupid reasons... Takes so long to transfer money from a poker site to another it's incredible... if only Skrill was still available in Canada.
With the last part of my deposit I would have 50BI for NL100 on Stars and would be able to go challenge these NL100 HU zoom regs. Can't wait to go beat the shit out of them hehe.
Also I'm still searching for a coach, so if anyone has something to propose me, you can add me on the community tool here and we'll chat on Skype.
Let's keep this heater going!
Great weak that just passed.
About my goals; I played 12k hands and went running 3x so they have all been reached.
Next week I will aim for 15k hands and keep it with going out to run/bike 3x.
Results wise it's been awesome; 65$/h 1.6k$ can't complain much
I now officially have over 50BIs for NL100 on stars so I will be able to take a 10BI shot there that will start tomorrow.
Also as a summary at NL50 HU zoom I played a total of 20k hands running like a god at 28.48 bb/100 (EV is at 28.21 bb/100). Ran extremely good but I did clearly have a huge edge over the field especially in 3bet pots where I saw a lot of spew and bad plays.
It will be for sure tougher at NL100 since there is way less fish in the zoom pool. I might quit zoom and play standard HU if I feel zoom isn't worth it.
Here's the graph for the week:
Very swingy day for my 1st shot at nl100 on stars.
Went from +6BI to -3BI to finish +1BI.
3 tabled a reg for 1 hour and ended up something like 2BI up. Ran good and really couldn't tell who was the best. I do think he plays NL200 at least and maybe NL400.
Zoom pool has a couple of good regs but I feel I have an edge on almost all of them and there was more fish than I thought happily.
Got some experience and will be happy to continue the NL100 grind for the rest of the week
won my biggest pot lifetime yesterday... incredibly standard (for me at least)
was against one of the craziest guy I ever played against

In terms of poker, last week hasn't been so good, swingy as hell and had to 4 table HU zoom to attain my volume goal since I had to search for an appartment almost full time for 2-3 days.
BUT i found myself a coach and I'm really happy about it. I know this will improve my game soooo quickly because I understand very fast. We'll see that with my next results.
week is going good so far, coached has helped me a lot and I feel my game is taking huge steps forward.
Makes me love the game even more also
Going to abandon this thread because I dont get any replies and I dont want to take the time to find out what im doing wrong in blogging.
Gl to everyone
