Hey guys, I'm a coach now :f_drink::f_drink:

Check out my interview, new video and coaching thread!!!

For the first month the prices will be super cheap. You can get the starter package (includes stats review, 30min video review, 10 hand reviews & a written report of the leaks I spotted and suggestions how to start working with them) just for 18€.
I'll also add you to a Skype group and send you a quick start guide at some point when it is finished :f_biggrin: (might take some time)...

--------------------

My status here will still appear as Moderator. Would have been cool to get a totally new status like Moach or CoMo but apparently it wasn't technically possible :pcuser:

If you guys have any questions regarding the coaching you can post here or on my coaching thread or then you can add me with the community tool or at Skype (lassi_-@hotmail.com)
If you add me on Skype remember to leave some kind of a message saying that you are from PSGY :f_thumbsup:

Wow, looks good dude! :f_thumbsup: Just checked out some parts of the video and you play really well. I see your game is really sharp here and the decisions are very well taken :)

Good luck with the coaching and I'm sure I'll get back to you when I want to start playing poker again :f_thumbsup:

Cheers,

Hesticus :f_drink:

Thanks :f_drink:

This was a morning session and I was a bit stressed, so if there will be a second video at some point I believe it will be even better :f_biggrin:

It has indeed been a nice journey It is a shame that I didn't blog more often or make more interesting posts, but it is nice to look back now :)

It was a shame you struggled to put much volume in, many weeks with barely 1k hands!

I think you could've done it a lot quicker with a few more hands per week.

Whats your next challenge?

Yea the volume has really sucked..
I'm not sure about the next challenge yet.. I have been quite busy with school stuff and planning this coaching thing. So we have to see now how busy I will be with the coachings :f_biggrin:

I have decided to start withdrawing some of my winnings monthly so won't do a new bankroll challenge now. I played those spin&go max but decided to stop that because it started tilting me :f_biggrin:

Damn, long time no posts :f_biggrin:

I have been busy with coachings and exams at school. Haven't had much time to play poker and I'm behind in my poker study plan. So now I have to do a lot of work to catch up :f_thumbsup:

Btw, if you have been thinking about getting coaching for me, now is the time to book it :) The prices are now discounted but will go back to normal next Friday.

Just played a super rough session... I don't know how long it takes me to recover from here :f_biggrin:

During my session I got 12 AA and only won one "big" pot that was 35bb :f_biggrin:
Got 14 KK and lost almost two stacks with those. 3 times KK vs AA. And bad luck with AK too... If I look my bb won/lost with each hand, most losing hands were KK,AKo,AKs,AQs,AJs

On top of those, my good hands always got destroyed by better hands. Villains make awesome bluff catches and get lucky all the time. And running almost 400bb under EV. Only thing that didn't suck in this session was my red line :f_thumbsup:

those horrible days always hurt like crazy, at least me as I always start doubting myself and my gameplan

I try to stay positive :f_biggrin: Looked at my graph and there has been downswings and upswings before so I know I will recover, but ofc this feels quite bad.. Not only it ruined my graph and made me feel bad but I lost actually quite much money also :f_mad:

It indeed also came to my mind that what the hell am I doing wrong.. But if my most losing hands in the last 10k hands are KK,AK and in this session I ran 4 stacks under EV and faced 4 times KK/AKo vs AA pre, I believe luck had quite much to do with my losses.

Well.. I'll open a few tables now so let's see how it goes :f_biggrin:

good luck. have fun recovering :)
i never could handle it well and had to set a stoploss. i played more a game with it but still if i loko at the graph i also had that 10-20 buyin downswing only shared in 3 low volume days
i still think it helped me. if i would not have used it i might have lost even more.

now i am just riding the waves in spins as i know its even more hardcore swingy

Gross. Sorry to hear about your downswing :( . I watched a video of you playing on PS and you're a really good player! I know you'll recover from this. I have had a 10BI upswing in 3k hands before, so I know you can hit that if variance is nice to you. (It's probably more likely since you are a better player than me).

Thanks for the helpful posts on my blog! Good luck, and run well!

Yup, I actually just won almost 7 buy-ins in less than 1k hands.. This big swings are not that common but can happen :) I'm sure I will recover soon :f_thumbsup:

I haven't posted here in a looong time so I thought now it is time to write a small update :f_biggrin:

I'm slowly recovering from my downswing but I haven't put much volume lately. I have been quite busy with school but luckily my Christmas break will start soon.
I have been also focusing a lot on coaching stuff. I have started creating a website that I'm planning on publishing quite soon. Also been writing some poker articles and creating videos. I have also been thinking about creating a one month intensive coaching course but I have no idea how it would work and what the price would be so it still requires a lot of thinking :f_pleased:

I also started playing at Natural8. The software is a bit better than last time I played on GG Network and now I can really consider moving some of my action there. Still going to play a lot on Stars though.
The player pool is full of fish so that is great, but I have to adjust my game a bit. I have no idea yet how much the population is folding vs 3bets or steals and not having a HUD doesn't make things easier. One thing I noticed is that I have to cut down the amount of bluffs. They call way too much. But I guess it makes sense since NL10 is the smallest stake there so it has all the weakest players also who do funny stuff. I hope that I get a good feeling about the player pool soon and everything works out :f_thumbsup:
