lost a HU, obv made a mistake, I will post hand as soon as I will back home. Wife still at hospital, planning to take her home by saturday. Running like a crazy work, hospital, home. Hospital ~60km away. So pretty stressed lost time sence at all sleeping like 3h day... Can imagine that daily schedule wount went worst , when Rusnė (daughters name) will back home. Cashed out from stars, since I dont have time to play, and made a deposit in coral (smth like 87 USD), just to have fun cause have there nice RB deal and FDB so it should not hurt my money badlly, lost ~42 by spewing chips arround cash tables. And was planning to redeposit to PS same amount as last week BR challenge, when i will have time, cause obv didnt planned to make profit at all.
This came from trn tokens that I had from FDB. coral BR stand at 497 usd. So i used formula for br challenge current BR - last week BR, not counting my cash out from stars, and not counting hands that i spewed at cash tables, but counting the loss, but it was ~6k if that makes matter.

Hi, SirPaulius,
I haven't seen the hand (yet), but it is so hard to tell HU what to do -- especially if you don't have a *lot* of experience, and especially vs unknown.
You did so well getting to 2nd, don't let that one place get to you...
All the best,
VS
Just came home..
last hand of the trn.

I know i have only 14bb behind, but I dont see any worse pushing here.
back at the tables 'rested' , and now with a plan ! Was a litlle playing twisters BR stands at healthy ~500 mark.
Maybe anyone else noticed changed Frequencies in multipliers ? Or just I ran extremelly unlucky ? 52 games 49 was x2 .
this week finished my first 3h coaching course with our coach Tim64. I left impressed he showed most of my leaks, and explained it in easiest way to understand. My cEV increased from break even ~35 to ~70. More coaching coming more in January. I missed in coaching a guide how to win flips, well maybe he will tell me in later coaching.
Week 8
hands: 0 ; 307 tourney
profit: $ 19.89
starting BR : 99.74
current BR: 524.72
goal: 1k
Actually I play in Euro's, but let say that exchange ratio is 1:1.
Oh and yeah I am playing twister at Ipoker. that 7% rake sometimes just killing me. Imagine that feeling when you running ultra HOT ~48% ITM, an overall you are down 4 Euro. But sooner or later x1000 will compensate for that! Hey if anyone like graphs I could start to post it. But for now i am a litlle shy to show my GAP between C net won and EV :))
Finally started to take shots at 5e limit. BR is just about to shot at them. Playing 4 tables at once. 3x 2e and 1x 5e. Nothing special but shipped x10 at 5e, which is obv a nice injection to my roll. Downside that runned horrible 6k chips below EV. I found that it is easier to move up in limits at sng than in cash, because of 'everything is more expensive' barrier. Chips are the same structure is same.
I did this in past and will try to do that again, i will not look at my cashier untill Sunday. hope to not get broke. ABI will be arround 2,75e, so close to 200BI. after this I should have a small sample at 5e which could give me a idea about my edge, not accurate at all ofc, but still something, and in january will plan to pack my roll and go to GALA poker play 5euro twisters.
In coachings with Tim one of my biggest leak was 'Autopilot' or my B/C/D games call it what ever you want. When he was reviewing my hands sometimes it seem that it is not my database. this is something to work on, and I guess this is one of the things that no one else can teach you. As soon as I realise that I am on 'autopiloting' mode, I have to stop a session, but thats just theory, cause it is hard to notice that at least for me. it would be so much better to get my autopilot mode into a profitable level.
OK first day w/o checking balance - completed !
I must say its harder than i thought... Maybe if I check my Chips graph it wouldn't count as a cheating ? I can fell that I ran good, can't wait Sunday ! If I switch balance check date to Monday, probably I might to stop hate it.
Checking the chip EV graph isn't cheating... unless you do it obsessively every 20 tourneys like I do ![]()

That was Tim's main objection to my game too ![]()
However, I've realised that, if I stop every time when I autopiloting, I'll be making far less money a week because of playing less (which, in my current confidence state, means not playing at all). So I need to sit through all that autopilot because it's still profitable.
As your prospective villain, I have to thank goodness for making you too busy now to grind a lot ![]()
May your daughter grow a good girl!
Peace.
Thanks tony I guess I will take a tiny look at graphs today. My autopilot unfortunately isn't profitable at all, I have to try think a few sec before I press button. Which surprisingly worked yesterday.

Hope to not see you soon at the tables ! if you dont mind share with me your screen name maybe we have fighted for pots already.

I asume 5 or 10 min smoke brake if you are smoker (somehow I suspect you are), every time you notice 'Autopilot' should help to prevent it, and should not hurt volume.
May your daughter grow a good girl!
Challenge accepted sir !:challenge:
Checking the chip EV graph isn't cheating
yesterday results, couldnt resist planned to keep it for evening ![]()
2e Cev - 100 ![]()
5e Cev - 50 can't be this big GAP or can it :thinking:? obv a very small sample.

I don't want to disclose my current SN until I move to where I won't be able to play at Gala/Coral. No, we haven't fought for pots yet - I checked my DBs.
I'm not a smoker, but I do agree that 5-minute meditation breaks are good to make twice an hour.
i don't think the skill level gap between 2s and 5s is 50 EV chips. You might be earning 90 at 2s and 60 at 5s (both cEV numbers will go up as you learn).
Day two - completed
I don't think I want to check my balance that badly now (obv because of bad run at 5s), probably checking it once a month after RB could be easier.
I don't want to disclose my current SN
Sure let me know when we will have some pots, maybe you will be able to help with my leaks too :coolface:.
Today:
2e - 160 Cev ![]()
5e - -8 ! ![]()
Overall 5e - 50 Cev
Day three - completed
hadn't checked my Cev today, I don't want to see it. I feel it is in a deep minus.

Just one of those days, I just keep running in to a top. Ofc Mr. tilt visited me too today, few times called river bet being dead. Mrs. Variance said hello too.
Missed today x20 ; x10 and x6 at 5e. Needless to say that's big money for me
Oh well I had 'those' days before. After the darkest night, always comes a brighter day!
Okay today I checked my balance, I was kinda suprised afterall. Br stands at 640, so over 110 profit excl rb. The sad thing is that my Cev is under 35 over 200trn, obv very low sample, but it might mean that I am not adjusting well to much higher aggression.
Week 9
hands: 0 ; 354 tourney
profit: $ 116
starting BR : 99.74
current BR: 640
goal: 1k
I also looked a bit at my DB, well I spot that I indeed not adjusting well I am either too tight or shoving like a monkey which is a bit better than being too tight ♠_ugly:
If I understand it correctlly, all Ipoker skins shares same twisters players pool ?
Basically I found my main leak which Tim was talking also about but I did not bothered. Pretty much I am playing too much tables somehow I always thought that I can easily play 4 tables, sadly NO. My Cev increased to 80 at 5e by just 2 tabling. The reason is that I dont have any standart profitable lines to be able to multi table 4+ tables (4tabling 2e Cev ~70 ; 5e ~40). Probably I could be making more by 4 tabling post RB than 2tabling. But I guess quality > quantity at least for the rest of the year.
Mery x-mas and happy new year !
