I don't get myself, is my brain playing a game with me?
No worries, that happens to everyone. This is also something I need to work on. ♦
anyway, being able to fold those hands at the right time, will influence your winrate immensely.

Fortunately, I already notice that after a few episodes of the course I can find the discipline to think more logically. I am more conscious of what I am doing. For example, yesterday it went wrong with two hands, so I stopped playing at that moment.
Another thing I am going to change is that I stop playing one hour before I go to sleep. I notice that if I play and go straight to bed, I am not well-rested in the morning.
Maybe it's a good thing I failed somewhere. From failure you can learn, you can get stronger, you adapt and that mistakes you make and try not to make them again.
There is short stack strategy with 20-40bb stack in here!
There is midd stack strategy as well with exactly 40-60bb in here! It is super easy to play and it isn't bad at all! If you see someone with 60-90bb stack, then he is most certainly a rec

There is also a strategy with 60bb or more on the spanish community, so maybe not all of them are recreational players.
Short-stack strategy is possible on GGPoker, but the way it was originally designed, it was designed for FR tables, and then only with no other SSS players at the table (or maybe 1 other).
I'm not sure how it would play on 6-max tables.
I tried the mid-stack strategy when it was introduced, but did poorly.
I realized that with the SSS and MSS you don't get all the value possible for your winning hands.
IT is actually winning more value from the same hands, because the people cannot adjust properly vs mid stack strategy and calling off too much vs linear range! Otherwise theoretically max value is if you win all-in, and it is most probable with short stack! You mean, prob, that you can win more with bigger stack and that is true!
The problem is, that the rake eats you this is why it is implemented at full ring!
And you can play higher limits easier, because of the lower BR required!
But you cannot play speculative hands most of the time and never in 3b+ pots, because you are simply not having the implied odds to do so!
When you see the player tendencies it is clear if he is a rec or reg:)
Not really recommend now days!
What a great day, Wednesday is our day off (my girlfriend and I). As the weather is very nice today, we decided to go to the lake near here to relax.
It was really enjoyable, reading a book, listening to a poker podcast and took some time to work on my mindset, which I did by doing a mediation session through an application on my phone. I'm starting to notice that working on my mindset has a positive reaction to playing poker but also to my personal life. I am much more disciplined and relaxed. I also notice this at the poker table, I play much more focused and make a lot fewer mistakes! Around 15.00 hours we went home, where I worked out in the gym for another hour. Totally relaxed.
I also notice that I start to see patterns on which board opponents bet and I have to fold or vice versa. I hope that this will give me an advantage in my game more often. Although I am still looking for positions where I need to show more aggression.
Tonight I played 2 sessions of 45 minutes, where I had to play very tight because of many players limping and got few good hands. 15/10 on about 700 hands. I think I made a slight profit, but the important thing is that I played well.
Although I still have to get rid of the mindset where I think about the money too much. My game is more important than money. That will come naturally if I play well. If I beat my opponents because I have learned from my mistakes. And I will keep learning to play even better.
Feel positive, get motivated by failure.
