Yeah Hai is amazing at never giving up on his students.

I quit a few weeks ago due to feeling that poker was not the direction I wanted to head in professionally, as my main passion is film and I feel I'm best off pursuing that.

When you have people that are truly passionate about poker and therefore willing to put the work in to make their passion their career, its pretty sick what they've achieved while working with Hai.

But without the passion, you don't work hard enough on your game, you get stuck and frustrated and no coach can save you from that complacency.

Students dedication to success + Hai's dedication to his students = $$$$$$$

Just wanted to stop by Hai's blog to say that he is an amazing coach. I've been working with him for about a year and a half starting from Nl20. Now I'm playing NL200 and was even taking shots at NL400 during the summer. He really makes you look at poker from a different angle and I cannot thank him enough.

Here's my graph for the last two months(Volume is horrible because I'm a full time student :f_grin:)


I play pretty loose like Hai and I must say it's a lot of fun! Enjoy the Holidays Hai you deserve it! :f_drink:

You guys are all making me jealous that's why I'm not posting any of my graphs because I'm too embarrassed to show now. :)

@Ganimator - Keep it up! Love the pwnage! Although you should be at NL1k by now. It's not too late keep pushing!

@2reac - Same to you! Prove me right and show me how it's done!

@satishvasoya - Life's good! Keep pwning!

To all the guys out there! Let's CRUSH 2016!?

I'm mostly amazed of the 15% 3b stats, assume competent regs should be able to exploit that fact?

Yeah, it's crazy.
I assume villains are just making huge mistakes playing with capped ranges. Folding too much and then probably going spastic and making more mistakes after they realize that they're getting exploited by being barreled.

This is hard to play against, because it takes a lot of effort to get better at and most people aren't aggressive enough warrant putting in the effort to improve. The risk (of losing a little more when someone plays their capped ranges well and one hasnt adapted) isn't too great either compared to the rewards.

But the super wide preflop ranges seem hard to deal with, if their are capable players behind happy to 3b, squeeze and cold 4b.

Son's birthday is over. Back to the grind.

Spoiler

Good 4.5hr session where I wasn't going to sleep until I got my money back. :D

Spoiler

Taking a short vacation next month for 2 weeks. Flights booked. Bahamas here we come!!! One week in the Bahamas and then 1 week in DISNEYLAND!?!? Celebrating our 18th Anniversary! Wow... TIME FLIES WHEN YOU'RE HAVING FUN!?

It's always nice when your redline gives you 22bb winrates. :D Makes for an easy grind. Hopefully we can start taking 400NL shots mid February or end of February! It actually amazes me how we were able to bring a 600€ bankroll and build it up! I remember starting poker and seeing Boku87 do the MTT challenge from $100 to $100k and it amazed me. It's actually a lot more fun than I thought. Initially I thought it would be such a boring task. It's never boring when you pwn everyone along the way!!!! :coolface:

GL and G'night!

I said I would take some time off but I waited for the kids to fall asleep. :)

It's always nice to be in an ideal dream situation. :)

It's a small sample so please don't get too excited about the graph! :) *points at axeboy90*

There's no money in poker. :) Move up to 200NL where everyone respects your raises!!!!!!!!!! _biggrin:

I just ordered a 40" 4k Monitor... Should arrive in 4 days! It's going to be a sick setup. 2-27" and one 40" and I don't even know if my computer will handle it but I did upgrade to a very nice video card a few months ago that supported 3 monitors... Will show you guys how to make a real setup. :)

2016 is around the corner!

Some goals I will be setting for the following year:

- $200k profits pre-rakeback
- $50k in coachings
- Go visit Australia and New Zealand.
- Invest in 2 new properties!
- Startup 2 new business adventures!
- Lose 5kg in weight and start getting on that treadmill! :)

Goals one and two are already goals in which I achieved already this year. I can't expect more because of all these vacations and business opportunities coming up.

Let's CRUSH 2016 and may everyone have a Happy New Year! _drink:

Ooops again. :)

Can't always win. :( Maybe I have to move up to 400NL where people respect raises. :D

Sorry, might be stupid question, but does your HUD show only those 4 stats? Or this is only in the replayer?

@VaskataBuci - No this is only for the replayer.

@Varune -

Villian 4b's KQ/AK/AA/KK/QQ.
Villian is a bad reg and he is the type that will jam AdQd, QdJd, any FD's and sets on the flop.

So turn we have nuts and when he jams he reps very little so we can call. (Only a few days ago and my old age is letting me down.)

Ofcourse there is a lot of information that I don't remember from the hand but I'm sure there were some dynamics.

I think 40" 4k Monitor was a bit of an overkill.

I love it though. I had no idea what to do with my two 27" so I just turned one of them for some extra desktop space.

So I got what my students suggested was those Gunnar Glasses. So far it has helped with the strain in the eyes so we'll see if it helps long term.

Congrats to all of the students for a very successful 2015! Let's grab 2016 and CRUSH IT!

Also to all of you out there who are grinding, CRUSH IT! _drink:

Happy New Year and I'll see everyone in the New Year! :f_drink:
