"Hoši děkujem !!!! "

But today I still cannot speak because my voice is little bit crashed

Yeah, sick success. Im dead today too cuz I was running round my city half naked

Hello there guys!

Firstly im gonna shortly summarize last month.
I experienced how everything in life is is lined together and when there is some problem in random area, it will affect other areas as well. Consciously or unconsciously, its up to you how u gonna let it get at you.

As usually Rush was giving me nice swings and as u can see, with not 100% mindset everything goes to hell in rush much more easily than on normal tables.

What is past is past, Lets look to the future.

Despite the fact that Both me n JQ were on pokerbreak we did lot of talking about poker, about our future plans with it and about what would be the best way to achieve it.

After this post I shall strictly play on normal tables, no more rush.
As many of you advised, rushing nl50 is not really the best idea in the world.

What is our main goal now should be improving and not trying to put in sick amounts of volume to be b/e n make money by rakeback.

For some time now Im gonna be playing 6tables, try to be really aware of my opps plays and try to abuse their leaks as much as possible. When I get good grasp of note taking and the ability of spoting leaks(even small ones) of my opss I shall add some more tabs.

We are gonna post/discuss all hands we will be unsure about.

I already played few normal tables FR sessions and its super easy to pick 5-10 hands each session for discussion/analyzation.

normal tables sofar:
Im playing bit loose since I can focus really well on every hand I play.
19/15/5. Im trying to play back at some opponents with wierd tendencies.
It workes rly well. I am really liking the history based kinda thing. It was hard to create in rush, cuz u dont meet the guy so often at the same position.

Our goal is to be able to move to nl100 by end of July/ beggining of August. Then to nl200 by the end of this year

Wish you all best in life!

Now im having a dilema.

Should I move somewhere n try to get some chunk of bonus while improving my game, or should I stick with 27%rb and lovely software at FTP?

I rly luv FTP.. but... ?

but there are a lot of other platforms that offer even more rb

Well ofc, I know that it might be more profitable in terms of RB/bonus then on FTP.. but does it worth the nerves with sucky softwares?
Im too spoiled by FTP's friendly sftware

but are those platforms offering enough FR tables ?

when u want to improve ur game and play 4 tables software doesnt really matter

this.

But if you want as easy play as possible, stay on FR Rush, no table selections,no really crazy 3bet wars (if they call your cbet on flop after you 3bet prelfop then stop betting on turn, as they fold very rarely).
i am really getting fed up with FR, maybe you should also consider movign to 6max, and playing only 4 tables at max at once.

I know that my game was basically the same for months on NL25/NL50 FR, i didnt think about much of it, and now when i switched to 6max, even on NL25 I see how much i have missed to learn, how many spots there are to discuss. And having enough time to process all that you need time. Even if there are only 4 tables, and believe me, on Rush there isnt enough time to do that, everyone plays so frikin fast its incredible.

Hey guys!
I agree with everything said.
While trying to improve Im playing 6tables, so I guess I could bare with some shity software.
Creating history rocks.

But.. IM DOING IT WRONG ZOMFG

June 1

I really suck. Im so lazy. I spend so much time doing nothing.
I really like switching back to normal tables, so far Im enjoying playing 6tables, BUT.. Im playing too fancy.. Either its that I make correct assumtpions about vilians range, but wrong about if he is capable of folding or I just level myself into some wierd calls, cuz I m too paranoid.

My game is evolving into loosish, agrro style. I kinda like not being nit anymore ♦. It gives me many new options.

I need to learn how to fold when beat and how to change gameplan when ugly card hits. After that I should start finally making profit, I rly feel I have an edge, I just spew so much money around by not playing well in certain spots.

+ about the sites. my plan is to be Iron man this month, pick up 375$bonus and then probably visit some other site.

Cheers

Hi there.
Im here bit early with update this week, cuz last night we had pretty sick mojito/grill/water pipe partayy and I really dont feel like doing anything today.

So, abt poker.
I really like 6tabling a lot. Most of nl50regs are playing loads of tables, so I can easily outplay them, cuz I can focus on the hand way better than they can. I can feel that my game improved a lot since I started 6tabling.

I improved value betting a lot. And cuz my slightly aggro image ppl call me down sometimes with real wierd hands ♦(see below).

I run nicely atm, lil bit above EV too.. so hope this will last forever:P
I still have one huge leak though. I lost 4stacks by 3barrell bluffing and similar crazieyy moves. I need to learn to recognize when there's nothing left to be done but give up.

Everything important was said, so let there be bright tomorrows for all of us

This was like supermega wierd. I was 3betting this guy a lot since he's nit. After few folds, he tanked and 4bet and I just felt that min4bet would piss him off. When he called I lolled and was ready to lose, but at least it would provide some lighter action in the future. Well...

Hand 1 - AQ nicely played, i wonder whether you would of value bet without hitting 2 pair on the river?

Hand 2 - I dont see the point shoving over the top, 10x, 5x, PP's are all calling.... If you call it does the same thing imo. Its a close one as Ax's that dominate you are folding so im unsure about this one. Maybe some clarification is needed lolz.

And Hi btw, not spoke to you before ♦

Im kinda in the same situation as you but i play 6max 50nl. But recently, i have been playing HU which i recommend if you really want to improve your game. I feel like the more and more i play HU, i pick up on alot more about my OP's in 6max...

Also i tried 6max Rush for a while, Mostly for the rakeback but i think its alot more profitable to play normal as there is so much more fish to exploit.

Just passing by And hoping you GL

Best regards
Swire

Ty for stopping by;)

about the hand, villain is decent reg.
I see his 1/2pot size donk on the river as an attempt to stop me from vbeting hard hands like QQ+, so by shvoving there I rly put him in a tough spot should he have Tx.

I was thinking too about trying out some HU, but never actually tried.. So.. mby when I feel like it i ll open some hu table in the future.

Cheers;)

Heh,

I just played the wierdest session. Somehow I slipped to playing 21/17 .. mby I should start with some SH action ♦

+There were some pro at nl50 today. Chris Klecz, rly TAGRO ..13/12/11 .. like wtf
had one interesting hand against him and im not rly sure if i played it correctly. I mean.. He's pro, so I expect light stack offs bvsb ♦

I like that..

But, how can one overcome laziness and start doing something instead?
