[Closed] Arthur or it is possible to live in Lithuania

everybody is talking on all forums that FTP is going down, too bad..kind of sad

:diamond:obv failed a bit with volume, made only 426 games
managed to run as hot as lava
:heart:started playing some cash games

my total profit for the month is exactly 5404.11, pretty sick to get the salary of an average workers year in lithuania, in a month.

:spade:play a minimum of 2h of PLO on monday, wednesday and friday
:heart:mtt grind sessions on tuesday, thursday and saturday/sunday
:club:finish reading Fooled by randomness
:diamond:get rlly drunk @ The Devil stone \m/
:spade:still have hope in FTP

about the FTP, my expectations are that 80% its going bankrupt, 20% everything is ok, so my $EV is about 1300$, tho its a high variance game, no way to put in volume ♦

some pics, as promised from the boulder gym

And thats me:

off to bout 1h PLO session

obv fucked up my plans for this month ♦

kind of lazy to grind, wanted something really interesting in poker this month, and as i have always had a secret dream of grinding some day HU cash, i tried some sngs, quite a lot of them ♦

its obv good to run hot, but i like the competition, the thrill, + the mental exhaustion you get after like 2 hours of 2 tabling, you just have to think sooo much more and i love it

already watched bout 4 videos, got some thought and i can see that the competition at 7s was just awful, a good player could easily crush em w/ 15% ROI, tho the 15s are a bit tougher, but 10%+ ROI achievable.

so for now, the goal will be to be at least BE for the month, then after i come back from holidays and after FTP sorts out, make a plan and stick with it.

now, i am including a graph on HUs so far.

yeah, this month im outa control, ignored a bit BRM ♦ muhaha, gotta be sick sometimes, but enjoyed playing posting a few graphs

started the day with some turbo and super turbo HU sngs, obv didnt go so well ♦

and finished with NL50 HU cash

played a bad reg for bout 800 hands, knew i had quite a big edge over him, he was just getting good setups in 3bet/4bet pots, so had to grind it out, after that played a few guys who sat for 50 hands and quit and in the last 250 hands had a HUUUUUUUGE fish, he was playing completely too tight, so was easy game, just blind steal

loved some 300 bb deep eff spots with the first reg :f_love:

another nice day @ the tables, muhaha, crushing it, obv the variance will come

need just another 22 stacks to feel safe on my roll

woke up this morning, had a good night sleep, really fresh, ate some nice food and then decided that i will start running at least 3 days/week

so i went for it, had my MP3 player on, started with ~3 km, feel really nice afterwards

now will just chill for some 30 minutes and then deluxe pwnage @ the tables

Plans for the weekend

going to be sick loads of freaks out there, enormous amounts of beer and shit loads of metal \m/ + im going out to france in 2 weeks and 1 day, cant fcking w8t

firstly, some random pics from the festival

scary children around ♦

it was kind of awesome, the atmosphere, food, drink were good, some nice band going wild, tho the last year i like the music more. but in general 2.5 days of epicness \m/

second post ♦

i have again changed a game, this month is just insane, i play everything i want, and i am still in profitzZz, tho not that much in comparison w/ last months

now @ NL50 SH, crushing the shit outa them, and i love 4bet bluffing ♦

including a graph for last 2 days

i am very amazed w/ my non showdown winnings

down to NL 25, sick last few days, just sick

I am back guys, the vacations are over, i feel really motivated, at least for the time being.

Fontainebleau, was just magically perfect, i mean, it amazing ♠_love: ♠_love: ♠_love:

few pics from there, video coming soon

now a bit about poker, i had pretty much 3 choices, either quit it(which is out of question ♦), either play exclusively cash games, or play cash games, and some mtts w/ really small volume.

so yeah, i am choosing the third one and i feel like i have to work on my game quite a bit before i start playing.

so going to start from complete beginner stuff, like pot odds, odds and outs, just everything, just to get me in a good shape.

Another point, i have read about third of the poker mindset, and i am really astonished how good is it, before reading it, i didnt think i would find a lot in it, just because my mindset wasnt that bad, but it is just like a treasure chest. will read it more than ones, definitely.

Thats probably it for now. going to the ranch, hopefully only for one day, then studying and maybe playing some.

Will post next month goals soon

so made the first session, was a bad day, because i had a terrible head ache, didnt play much, but i am kind of surprised, as soon as i started playing, i felt quite confident in most spots. Thought that i might forget more in 5-6 weeks.

Goals for the month being:
review and read at least 10 HH/day at PS.com
:spade:watch at least 2 vids/week
:spade:finish reading the poker midset
put in at least 30k hands @ NL10 this month
:spade:mark and post as much hands as im not 100% confident about
:spade:do session reviews after every session( failed today, because my hud wasnt working properly for 3/4 of the session, fixed, starting from other days)
:spade:dont worry that much about the results
:spade:DONT FUCKING SPEW, did it once today, just as i clicked the button i was like "OMG, that was like the worst choice.."
probably it for now, might add later

everything is going ok, i am very bussy last days, uni, climbing session, quite sick, + will start driving lessons soon, i dont know, how will i be able to do everything ♦

pokerwise, im failing with volume this month, have ~3k hands, no playing for today, i feel to tired, hopefully, tomorrow i can put in, at least a few k.

now i have a question in my mind, i am nicely rolled for nl25, maybe i should just move up and not waste time? i mean, the games are pretty much the same, anyways, i will still be improving my game, so yeah, the question is, weather it is worth to do the 30k hands @ NL10, being overrolled for NL25?

If you think that you can beat NL25, there is no reason to play lower. You can always set yourself stop-loss limit and move to NL10 to regrind.

im so busy lately, dont have time to learn or put it volume, now will have 4 better days, so id like to put in a minimum of 8k hands + watch a video about 3 betting today, b4 starting

Didnt have what to do during 1 lesson, soooo:

hows my drawing? ♦

during the last sessions, saw shitloads of fish @NL25, so i should defo be good enough to crush it, tho i feel like i have a lot of leaks in 3bets, especially when i get 3bet.

Another point: MUST do a review session after today

hello guys, mid 4 day grind post, had a siiiiick swing but im ok, a bit failing with the volume, but should do the 8k
made a video and would really love to see comments on my game/leaks

have a nice watch!

tried to watch your vids,but they are too small and I only got sound in full screen.
cheers gordy

thats strange, watched it through my pc and other, on both if you set the quality to HD and full screen, i was able to see everything clearly.
did you try opening it through youtube?

Hi dude .. i starting training hard early this year and have been enjoying some climbing in sunny Scotland...

... sorry did i say sunny, i meant rainy lol ...

... that looks like some sick bouldering you are doing in those shots ...

... did you manage that route with the crack?

... GL at the tables sir ...

thanks nad, one of my friends did it tho! gonna do it next year, just didnt feel fit enough this year

we started training too, after a break for about 2 years ♦ maybe some nice results might come soon from comps and next summer

and good luck to you too

watched the video, did 9.5k hands

had my first normal grind session this month, which took ~4.5 hours

kind of for the first time this month was really concentrated and motivated to grind for a long time.

tho after quite a big session review, i spoted, that i dont VBET enough, i just found soo many spots, out of 36 marked hands i could vbet bout 20

need to work on that part and i found myself bluffing a bit too much against unknown players, or break even regs.

tho i have some good news too, NL25 is sooooo fishy during the afternoons, that i love it ♦

im still wayy of the paste with 17.5k hands, meaning that i will have to work on that part.

And for the end, im buying myself a laptop, so now, when i have free time, i can read hand evaluations, view videos outside home(not to montion i will have what to do during boring classes )

thats probably it for now, sooo
