Beer Nation Citizen’s blog [SnG]

Gold status reached .... weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I'm really looking forward to Unam's gold coachings

Nice work!
How many SnG do you play per day?

I also have such blog, but it's in the Bulgarian community,so probably you won't understand anything. I think I should've created it here, probably I will move later.
My country is on 25th place in the beer's nations list and I see Russia after us.
So I guess we should be in another category with them ♦
Vodka consumption for Russia and rakia consumption for Bulgaria.
Never been in Czech, but I would love to visit Prague and believe me - people know where is Czech,unlike Bulgaria. ♦

Thanks!
I play around 50 SnGs / day, currently 6 tables. I tried 9, but that's too much for me now, I wouldn't have all important reads.

When I was little, there was a quiz on TV, in which Czech reporters asked Americans "do you know where Czech Republic is?" 90% responded Asia/Africa (wtf) and the other 10%, that knew at least something about Europe said: "Czech Republic? You mean Czechoslovakia?"

About rakia: how can you drink that? ♦ My friend from Serbia gave me a bottle of rakia and it almost killed me! Just kidding, it's not that bad

Yep and can you imagine that girls also drink this sometimes? ♦
Regarding your question - when you have to pay money for alcohol, why not make a drink from fermented fruits. I have no clue how they got this idea, but it's genius.
Lack of money makes you creative,especially for alcohol. ♦

Good luck on the tables. Once I have more time probably we can exchange some experience.

Awesome run today...again. 6x my higher pair lost against a lower pair in push/fold phase (on the river mostly). Shortly after I started my session I lost about 70$ but in the end I managed to win some games and I am happy that I'm BE today.

Really strange day. In the morning I was happy that I was BE and this evening was my best run ever ($100+) Here's the graph:

Wow man! You seem to be progressing really fast Keep it up.. Good luckie

Thanks! I invest a lot of time into poker (at least 5 hrs/day), so I'm happy that good results appeared. However, it's getting on my brain... for example two days ago I had a dream, that Chris Fergusson came to visit me, we went swimming and I had his hat on my head while we were swimming. Then I came home and I saw Gus Hansen on my neighbour's garden. He was shouting at me: Hey you! Throw me some gooseberries!" Today I had a dream, that there was a MTT in my village and I was sitting at a table with Patrik Antonius and he defeated my KKK with some crappy Ax.

I think I need a break! ♦

jaj ♦ sounds cool.. i also had some dreams about poker when i was starting and full of motivation and i didnt think of anything else..

just make sure your life is balanced and you will be fine good luck sir..

I knew the day will come and it came. Downswing is here! -35BI during last week... suckouts, lost coinflips, I love that stuff. I had to withdraw 200$, because I had to pay for the internet connection 12 months in advance, so my br is only 180$. I moved down to 2$ turbos, but downswing continues even there ♠_cry:

Another -25BI today, I'm feeling desperate, constantly losing flips, running into higher pairs.... I keep analyzing my game in wiz / nash calculator, but I dunno, I must be doin' somethin wrong

hey bro, thanks for posting on my blog

Actually I am following your blog for a while and enjoy it a lot as it reminds me my poker starts with SnG strategies. Did not want to post though, as I enjoy you finding your way (e.g. you are doing much better in terms of psychology, I have not read poker mind set yet tbh and I should).

Anyway like your blog and stay in touch

Hey Cornie, thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate that you follow my blog
About my psychology: it's not that great, I'm on downswing now and it sucks soo hard..I know that downswings just happen, but when I'm playing I expect the worst even when holding AA, and that's not good for my game. I should re-read the poker mindset at least 5 times.

Graph of the last week:

Nothing rare

And punishment for slowplaying KK... I hate myself

don´t worry, you´ll be good again. Need to take it easy and just focus on quality of your play.

If you feel emotionally touched by the result, I do not play at all or go down a limit to feel comfortable - that´s what I learned even without poker mindset only the quality of your play matters longrun

Just keep grinding, and I'm sure the downswing will turn! Do you only play turbos? I wish I could play 50 sngs a day to, but playing normal speed, and just between practicing music, and work I'm very happy if I get more than 10 on a day!

I'll be following you:)

Hello!

Yesterday I went to this pub and it had Czech beer called Czechvar or something like that. For some reason I thought of you (Yea that sounds creepy I know) and I tried the beer. Nothing special imo I guess I just tasted the too common beer :). But man I gotta say Belgian beers are amazing.

Hi Steve,
I never heard of "Czechvar" ♦ but it might be Budvar and yeah it's quite average beer, I don't drink it at all, you should taste Pilsner Urquell

This one

FT must hate me...56 BI under EV obviously isn't enough. I was playin' the BLT yesterday, I had a great start...but then.....I called a raise with 64o (4:1 pot odds) and I hit 2 pair....

So I finished on 15k th rank

I'm no expert on mtt's but I think calling with 36o for ~10% of your stack looks pretty ugly... Pot odds are not as important as to how your gonna play this hand profitably

Anywhooooo nice blog I'll be keeping an eye on it in the future..
