I played some hands against him last year, he was indeed loose. The more uncommon thing was the huge 3bet % I believe.

Hey Asimos,

Let me congratulate first to your great results, very niice!! I have watched most of your videos, also read through your thread. And indeed I did, all hands, posts and so on. It was actually pretty dramatic, I mean the beginning of 2015 . You mentioned there in one post, that your game was completely new and trying a new style and the results are just amazing. Could you just unfold a bit more what actually happened there? Did you change your attitude to the game or based on what you've made those changes that lifted your winrate so much. What I mean is there should have been a different state of mind or something mental thing too since changing ranges simply won't get thiis kind of result.

thanks!!

Yes there was a crucial moment.
Most poker players fail to move up imo mainly because of two things 1) they don't have faith that sth works, so they do random stuff here and there .... or they mix concepts that are unclear to them when and why should be applied (i.e. they bet for protection when check is higer EV etc) 2) the are not honest to their-selves (results, skill etc)..

What I realized is that 1) I have to trust my thinking process and go with my plan no matter what other people believe 2) I spent a lot of hours analyzing my game, adapting and re-adapting 3) I developed a complete system of my own which I still enrich every day :)

There is no current br bro at this stage :) I cash-out each month depending on winnings and leave the minimum I need for playing in the site until next month. I don't have losing months :f_drink::f_drink:

If winnings are really good I am shooting 200nl zoom, if not I play 100nl, depending on mood, time, game flow.. Still my main limit is 100nl zoom..but will be 200nl zoom by September probably for sure :)

Hi!

I ve just found your blog.
Nice job, keep on!

I have watched your videos (mainly the last ones/your live plays). I like your style and accent ;)
Sometimes some spots i don t agree with you but overall good content. Of course i have found some nice new line and thought process u are using at the tables.

The 1st thing that i like: you play zoom as i do the most because i dont have too much free time to play/learn (i have a job 8h/day).
I've just started a shot on nl50 so your videos help me a lot.

I hope u will find your way on nl200 and later on higher limits! GL!!

A new follower from Hungary! _thumbsup:
