Very wise words!

The thing is, there was discussion about that NL25 "challenge", what i still think was very bad decision for kevvu... As was mentioned few times, there wasnt any real benefit from crushing those stakes for him, but the risk of losing confidence was very significant in case variance hits him too hard. If one wants to feel like God, play 1 table of NL5 and overplay everyone including dealer, but playing 10k hands on NL25 isn't helpful imo.

Anyway; I watched him play, so NL50 will be a piece of cake with no doubts

Made my day :f_biggrin:

About that nl25 challege. I didnt made there what i wanted, but still didnt lost confident also. Even got more, actually. I proved myself that i can play 12 in day if i want, i have been forgotting it. I lost in $$$s there but i got feeling that i can beat the game again.

You think way too much about things other than playing the next hand as well as you can

How u knew that :). I am not sure how i can change it?
Atm i had nl50 session and i think i overthought there too much.

Finished first day on nl50 and even ended up, so sick ;). I changed one think, now i watch every day my results and whenever i want. Cause lately i feel that i lose all the time, but actually i am even a little down or BE. So i can feel better :P.

So here comes my last effort to change something in my poker life. When it fails and my BR fall under 1.5k then i am going to change something trastically. (there are some ideas for it)

Next 7 days i am going to do these things:
post 5 hands per day
read one article about nl
watch one nl vid+ 1 pyshological
play min 4h

+just watch ur result after that 7 days, put that 1.5k saving to mb or sth gl

how can u feel better when u know how much money u have.. money is a proven demotivator for everything.

Yep, good idea not to watch results also. I am not going to watch even stats either. And i just will play in FTP, cause then i cant see my BR.

1.st day
-watched one hasenbraten nl50 vid (were not the best one)
-played 2*2h sessions
-had 1h sessions with tim and 1h with bierbaer (more than posted 5 hands)
-read 1 article about "light pre-flop 3-betting" and made notes+ during session i read them constantly
-now going to watch "shuffle and flow"-pyschological vid

I feel rly tired atm, but 4h playing and 5h learing poker can be really helpful :P.

Go go Kevvu - your thinking was sound and logical when we spoke today - looking good.

Hope you can have some short term luck this time to improve your motivation even further=).

You know you have it in you to make this work. If you keep up what you're doing now, success will come, sooner or later.

if u wanna see how does it feel to run ito top of peoples range, sweat this guy, 100 Guaranteed that u will see it

2.nd day

played poker a little over 4.5h (had some hard spots)
watched TT vid "going to italy"- rly good one, made even some notes
read article about "planning of the hand"- didnt got much from it, actually i have read it 3 times before
posted 5 hands and analysed some additional ones
watched TheShades game to know how these nl50 players think
and now going to home to watch "shuffle and Flow" 2nd part

Finally this day ends... ♠_cool:

3. rd day

-had 1h session with bierbaer ( we review some of my and some of his+ random hands)
-watched "discovery channel" part 2 by ge5sterne- made a lot of notes and used some new things in my game, rly helpful
-played 2 sessions overall 4h. In 2nd session i changed my game a lot. Started to play like a nit and TheShade watched me that i dont make to loose moves ♦
-read article about "Squeezing", rly hard one. Most likely i need to reread it.
-3rd part "Shuffle and Flow"

In the end of the 2nd session i were finally happy how i play. I even did run somewhat good, but still had some bad luck.

So here comes my last month update. I played most hands in that month in my life and i spent most hours also. +a lot stacks under EV also. Hardest thing was that i felt i dont beat the game.

4-th day

-ge5sterne "Discovery channel" part 4. Intresting vid again
-"check behind for value"- was the article name i think. Some examples were not logical at all.
-had session with kosmonaut and we looked some hans
-played poker over 4h
-"shuffle and flow" 4th part comes now.

5-th day.

-ge5sterne "discovery channel" part 4
- looked some hands
-played poker 3.8h and then when i lost another stack, FTP asked to deposit to reload in table. I was like WTF. I thought i am BE or sth like that, but yeah. Today i think i am not able to learn any more poker. Maybe i watch "shuffle and flow". I know things are turning around soon, but do i have roll for nl50 then, thats the question :f_eek:.
-Not going to analyse hands and dont read article cause it doest give anything if u are a little angry and frustraited...

Going to cash some extra money to FTP and try to continue.
2days to go.... ♠_frown:

Decided to end it for a while cause of BR problems. Going to learn a lot and then take last shot on nl50...

hey, its just incredibly complex ur problem, i never experienced anyone like that, i wish u luck, but as it seems, it might be beyond my power to help u at all. I also got an idea, that it might be somehow harmful to u to be staying in the mindset of the big things still.. as sad as it will sound now, i think its helpful for the longrun tremendously: accept what u are /where u are. Maybe i am repeating myself, but dont fight urself, and dost selfdestruct. Just take a new approach, new selfawereness, define ur state, ur goals etc.. as the last long post i send here abt progressing with the steps. Fe u should abs change the name of the blog also, NL100-1k in 6months is abs not going to happen and its destructive for u if u re still living in it, make it sth more followers friendly, yet still somewhat motivating for u..

gl in everything, certainly if u can turn this around u ll be one of the biggest comebacks of what i ve seen coz i know how mentally shattered u re. fight it!
