Man thanks a lot for your quick response!

I read your whole thread including hand analysis of course. I will contribute definitely with thinking process, just keep them coming buddy!

I am currently 3 tabling ZOOM on Stars, going back and forth between NL25-50 and taking shots at NL100. Right now my life roll is low so I am in a spot where I am grinding SNGs to make $ for my family life expenses and in the meanwhile studying 1.5-2 hours daily CG + grinding it 2 hours also. Feel in love with CG and want to switch to it FT basically despite the fact that I am crushing SNGs, it is just no challenge anymore, CG brings me that joy of studying daily and pushing myself further.
In general I feel that my thinking process is far advanced for these lower limits (I have a projection bias leak constantly going on!!!) and I see some bad bluff catches on daily basis numerous times. When I took a shot at NL100 it made way more sense to me in terms of what range people are bluffing with and calling it off, if that makes sense.
This year I am in coaching deal for CG so my main goal will be to improve and reach by the end of the year NL100 with 3bb/100 minimum pre RB. I feel that I will reach that and overcome it even with my daily habits and fanatical focus. You are already there man and it must be great knowing that you make over 40$ hourly on Stars and can start and stop playing at any given time in the day.
I have a study partner that is winner at NL25 taking shots at NL50. We do CREV, HHs, FlopZilla, sweats and do daily study sessions of course... If you want to join us or just study with one of us or just connect I would personally like that.

Let me know if you are interested and please keep the updates coming , I feel the car is coming in next 2 months for sure!!!

@IvicaIliev77: PM sent. I would say around 20-30$/hr (i'm playing slower, and when big decisions i stop the other tables, after big pots i stop the all tables and so on...:)) On NL50 my winrate is much better i think, and on 2table 100 too. Got a lot to learn to be where i want to ;).

Motivational videos (some of my friends shared them):

(stole this from IvicaIliev77: Blog)

I just read his blog, it was pretty funny to read this (this is me, it made me laugh with the ego part ty man!)

Watched fellow reg grind NL100 ZOOM for 0.5 hour. Manage in that time to see 4-5 interesting spots from which I would have played 3 of them differently. So glad that reg is open for discussion and cooperation, he took my lines with good heart and he doesn't have ego problems obviously when he can take things that way. He also agreed that he would play 2 out of 3 lines the way I wrote to him so that shoved me that I was right there with guy who beats NL100 ZOOM with my thinking process. It means a lot to me getting support and praise from people who are actually in 2015 doing the things I want to be doing and are successful at it!

Yeah man, you are everywhere
I didn't tell you about the update but glad that you caught it obviously. It is so true,so many poker players have problems with ego (think they know it all) but you are on contrary open to discuss as many lines as possible for hands. I like that a lot and feel very happy and blessed to meet You and another fellow reg that I can improve with. You are already crushing, 2 of us are on the way of moving up but the beauty is that we can all improve so much more and am positive that NL100 will at some point become kinder garden for us ;)
Look forward to us working together in near future my friend - keep crushing that ZOOM !
