Heh that KQ from Katya
Granted it's been a while I've been looking at his game but pretty sure he thought you're some weak lowstake schmuck who'll overfold to the jam xD

Maybe he knew you had like 20% of yourself :P

And I grind Asian sites
So 9-5 baby

I like how u addressed all of my points mr Lemon. Yeah katya tanked for like 15sec before shoving. Also dreamed of katya recently, dreamed she was a girl and I was hitting on her #truestory

Here are my main goals for this week
:club: Spend 36h on Poker (24h play+study, 12h Bluffthespot Coach+Others)
:club: Spend 5h on Social Media Business
:club: Put up vBlog
:club: Stream
:club: Have wake up time at 9AM by the end of the week (sunday I went to bed at 7AM
:club: Finish everything before Sunday so I can take it off (friends visiting)

I already shot, edited and posted a vBlog today, will maybe try to get one more in. I am in a period where I'm mostly focused on working so figured I'd make a vlog about lockdowns. If u're not satisfied where u are with poker, u prob need something like this.

Will be streaming again this Saturday at 8pm Malta time again, I am still open to suggestions.

SO HOT:

Yoo, some friends from back home visited me for a few days and just hung out with them, so kinda lost track of my weekly goals. They are pretty similar minded, run their own business with designing websites (they will actually design our new bluffthespot website) and social media. Also shot a vBlog with them for my personal channel.
One of them paid 40euros just to talk to a stripper for ~5min lol. Guess not similar minded in all aspects.

This is my November graph

I played a lot of my volume on untracked sites also. Still, estimate my volume this month was ~25k hands, which is a bit lame. I do emphasize playing when I feel sharp or not playing at all, plus spent a lot of time coaching and doing bluffthespot stuff.

Speaking of that, I will be doing another (now habitual) stream Saturday at 8PM and MMASherdog will do a round on Sunday 11PM (both Malta time), on https://www.twitch.tv/bluffthespot .

Overall, pretty good month, I am looking to keep hard on the grind at least until I go to Bucharest on 12th Dec for holidays.

Regarding non-poker stuff, I am also in charge of developing the social media side of BluffTheSpot, which will be a veeery interesting and exciting adventure. Def looking forward to doing some experimenting there.

Until next time!


Ohhh, where are the sunny days of Malta...

Yeaaaaah I saw, only that I wouldn't play it even if I was there. Takes too much time and I hate MTTs :(

Handling the social media part of BTS has its fun sides. I am making some poker memes in my spare time, wanna test some of them here, lemme know what you guys think

Urubu aka the Degen Legend of Flipping came back last week to flip with MMASherdog so I took the opportunity to make a vid out of it

Ok time for some real talk.

I want to write this down here so I can look back on it.

I feel pretty overwhelmed right now. Feels like I always have 1000+ tasks to do and it never ends.
Getting more involved with BTS to take it to the next level, taking charge of the social media side of the business, still coaching full-time, making videos, streaming 1x/week, oh and yeah playing poker and improving -- quite the challenge.

I don't have a problem with working a lot. The main problem I have is that I still want to put in good volume with poker since it's still my main source of income. And I just can't pull it off right now, so I agonize over it.

At the same time I feel all this pressure is good. It's meant to take me to the next level. It's all in how you frame it in you're mind right?

I was reading Elon Musk's biography last night since I couldn't sleep - my mind was still rushing too hard (happens a lot lately).

There was a part that impressed me. While being the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, whenever he gave someone in SpaceX an apparently impossible project (seems he likes to do that) and that person said it can't be done, or it's not enough time, Elon would say 'OK, you're off the project and I will take over. I will show you that it can be done, while being CEO of 2 companies'. The sick thing he always did it! He always got that project done!

So this kinda serves as inspiration that I can have all this sh.t down. It will involve pushing myself hard and being razor sharp with my focus and self management. I will need to set aside time to make my brain rest at the end of every day to balance out the craziness and prepare it for a new day. Have a good sleep schedule. Meditate 20m+ again so I can sleep. Maximize efficiency in my work. Delegate tasks.



^Lol i love this gif too much

Also let's save the thread in style

Well, I can feel getting more and more control back and actually making progress in a lot of areas which is good. Didn't play any poker today which is bad.

Good thing is that I am always looking to step up my game to the next level.

Today I was sweating Mixgrill since, well yes he's crushing highstakes, so I think I still have plenty to learn from him.

A big mistake that prevented me from learning from someone like him and generally preventing ppl from getting better at poker is not being humble enough and having an arrogant, know-it-all attitude. I see that in students sometimes (altho pretty rare) and makes me see it easier in myself.

So today I realized I can improve significantly in 3 areas

  • Using stats
  • Using timing tells
  • Using past dynamics with players

Stay humble and always be open minded to learning from others, even if it contradicts the 'way you see poker'. Damn, so hard sometimes lol.

Daniel

PS. We're gonna have a full weekend on https://www.twitch.tv/bluffthespot

*all streams are Malta time
, followed by a glamorous Mixgrill stream on Monday 11PM Malta time so come hang out. Ppl seem to like his streams more than mine so i'm a bit jealous tbh.

The more I think about it, I can say I am def pretty focused on overall improvement, not just poker. The way I see it through poker I build up skills and discipline that will help me further along in my journey, when I transition into business for example and just having a better life in general.

PS. Catch streaming in 20min on https://www.twitch.tv/bluffthespot , I will be playing 200zoom and saturday chillin.

Gf says she thinks the pic in this song is very bad, but I love it and think it's very artsy.

Who is right?
PS LOVE THIS TRACK SO MUCH

Today was a pretty bad day for poker. I got stacked by the same fish ~5 times today. He just kept coolering me. He started saying 'TY FOR DONATION' and that stuff. I got tilted. Which made me think about my approach to poker.

It is all a long session.

I was tilting but then I thought why should I be tilted. I saw it was pretty irrational. I'm still gonna play poker. I will still make the money back. Why am I mad? Do I secretly expect I should never run like this? Isn't it a bit silly to be so caught up in the short term results which I cannot control?

So instead of omg fml I am running so bad, view it like the session is not over yet. I am going to continue playing tomorrow, day after and so on. It's all a long session.

This view should really make 'runbad tilt' easier to manage. Focus on playing your best, not on winning today.

==========================

Another huge thing for poker players is sleep. I kept seeing all these 'success' videos that were saying you should sleep less. I made a quick video on this.

GL

PS. I will be streaming this Saturday at 8PM Malta time on https://www.twitch.tv/bluffthespot , we already have quite a few subscribers, we will be implementing a lot of cool benefits for them, like private chat, ability to get hands reviewed, giveaways etc.

Still doin' some late nite vBlogs, got me thinking about ppl being amazingly uncool lately, how they behave in certain ways just to impress others, get ppl to like them etc.

Joining BluffTheSpot as a partner gave me some of that as well. After all, yes I do want people to check out our service etc, but I also don't want to be that fake mfker who is just pushing his product. Something I want to meditate more on.

Meantime JOIN OUR AMAZING STREAM OMG SEE ME PLAY 500 zoom!!!! STREAMING RIGHT NOW GO :heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart::heart: https://www.twitch.tv/bluffthespot :heart::heart::heart::heart:

Hmm.. goal for this sessh is to make some money to buy a Mic

Played a huge session today. Heads up is much more intense mentally for me, probably because I have way less experience with it compared to 6max.

Also moved my ~1k bitcoin into smaller coins today to leave it there for ~1 year so I am a legit crypto invester.

Spoiler

I feel good that I am starting to be more organized and have more time for poker, finally getting more and more stabilized.

Anyone going to Vegas this year?

Gonna stream in ~30 min on https://www.twitch.tv/bluffthespot , prob gonna take it easy, think I'm gonna learn Power-Up.

Spoiler

srs

Also tune in for tomorrow at 11pm CET when MMAsherdog is gonna stream, think we're gonna do something special - like a BTS coaches homegame and he sweats me with live holecards, spew 4 lyf.
