Hello guys,
i guess it is really good that i made learning before a session as a goal.
I guess that is a think a left out too often in the past.
Even i`m actual "only" just look after basic stuff i noticed for a while it helps me to stabilize my game.
So up to now i`m on track.
Since the restart of the block i reached all my goals, and i try to continue my work.
So, here some basic stuff i actual re read to get it into my brain...

I try to get some more information from you guys....
The money comes from the weaker players, the fun players.
So best is to know how to identify the r ecreationals.
So here some points, which other points can we use to identify weaker players?
- Open Limping
- Effective stack
- Unorthodox bet-sizing both preflop and postflop
- After showdown -> Extreme passivity, agression or stickness
- Stats -> Not reflective of a decent player. Watch out for the "peudo regs". Losing over a decent sample

That is quite a valuable list.
It has now been stolen by me...
So well, it is time to have a first short review.
Playing regular tables seems to be more profitable than zoom.
Better possibilities to exploit villains and to use the HUD.
And another important thing:

but up to now i have an upswing
Learning before starting a session might help as well
let`s see how it will go with a larger sample:
So have fun and make some money on the tables.
This one I have just printed out... Nice work...

I wish you the best of luck with your goals !
If you play and study with consistency and discipline taking your time and without pressure you will definitely achieve them.
Hello guys,
i guess restart was good for me.
I changed some things and actual it looks like having a heater for a longer period of time.
So this month i will continue playing NL2 to have a bit sample size.
I want to set me a goal to play 10* as much hands during the year, as i will be able to play in January...
Becaus hopefully i can move up some limits, which will mean some more learning will necessary to keep winning.
Conclusion so far.
NL2 => Learn basics, be patient don`t bluff the fish => beating the limit easyly
Graph so far:
Not every big hand can be won ->lost this Set-Up (nothing to complain, losing is part of the game...)

Hi guys,
hopefully i`m done with NL2 and can even win on NL5.
The start was not so well, but i guess it will be possible to beat the Limit in the long run as well....
So second session was a liitle loosing one, but i did not play well, and yesterday i had a nice run as well.
So longterm goal for this year => play round about 110k hands regular tables, just two tables in parallel...
So GL at the tables for you....

With the note that 10K hands isn't a huge sample, you might find NL 5 even easier, since at least some players there play rationally.
Best of luck :gl:,
VS
Well NL5 seems to be unbeatable
So i lost every Set-Up and that was not good for my mindset directly after moving up....
so just three stacks left for shot...
lets see how that will work 
Could be that i need to play NL2 again maybe today, maybe not....
Sessions on NL5 so far....
Hi guys,
first bullets of moving up didn`t hit....
So back to NL2 and grinding out the frustration.
I tried out kind of my own "tankroll-challange" wasn`t a good idea (forgot to move down just in time :f_drink:)
So i will change the rules and find hopefully a good way to move up (and down)
will following this BRM strategy:
So will continue with working on the basics this month and than look out for a topic for the next month....
GL at tables for all of you
