I think I remember playing you under that name on FT when you were playing the 12s but i'm not sure...

Anyways, you are doing a great job and your BR is only going on one way keep it up

Have seen you today at some 6$ turbo tables on Full Tilt, hope you were running a bit hotter than i did, my session just sucked today :)

See you soon again at the tables! ;)


Congrats!!!!!!!!First time in my life i see all button Aces-(6-7-8-9) being dominated or go into KK,QQ,JJ,TT.My congratulations again!!!!Maybe tilt tries to show me how bad is when you hold ace nine with ten big blinds in button!!!

I am watching to this video: http://www.pokerstrategy.com/video/10263/

In 19.45 chenny has A2o in co and he says this is definitely a fold.Why he tells that?I put the hand in nash calculator and he says range must be Ax for shove.PLease someone to explain this to me

In 22.00 he folds 78s from the button.Which hands you would have pushed there,so deep?


We played today at the tables :) I am not sure but I think I sucked up on you once very hard, sorry :f_confused:

1)I put all my hands in sit n go wizard for analysing. 9/10 of my hands are correct.The 1 that i make mistake is because i dont push J7 from bu or i dont push Q5o from sb.All my crucial hands are right

2)Watching videos,taking notes but nothing helps the situation.

Dunno what else to do.Gonna watch vampire diaries or some movie.I totally lost my motivation right now.Cheers


First lets begin with the goals:

:spade:Watch 3 pzhon's video (SUCCESS)
:spade: Play 200 sit n go (128 FAILED) no motivation at all
:spade: Practice in more than 3500 hands in icm trainer (FAILED)
:spade: Read at least two silver or gold articles (FAILED)

I had no motivation for these things.Because of the bellow:

Last three days graph:

Staring bankroll:154$
Current bankroll:471$

I feel so disgusting...If the word is right..

Lifetime graph:

I would listen any advices or suggestions that you could give me

Ouch!
That sucks!

Well it seems like you are playing in a right way( The EV line is going up) So you just need to be patient, keep reviewing hands and take breaks like you did when you need to :)

Good luck!

maybe it's a downswing, EV line is good. Keep it up

(join Pokerstars to see the worst suck outs ever hehe)


Which is the best way to spent your iron medals?And which is the best way to exploit iron man challenge?


My graph for today: (no mood to play more):

I had 7 heads up in 1v1 situation.I won only one with the following shit happened:

1-A7 shove on A8
2-A3 shove on A5
3-88 shove on KQ lost
4-A3 shove on K2 lost
5-A2 shove on AQ
6-A7 shove on A7

How is possible to shove everytime on a bigger ace or in an ace generally when i am heads up?Hilarious _mad: _mad: _mad:

My lifetime graph:

I run -234.4$ bellow ev in 6.50$.Hilarious
My ev adjusted for today 21.5%.My ev for today -6.5%.Hilarious

Starting bankroll:154$
