1.:club: also my mental issues as i feel that the stress involved in this job is influencing the quility of my game.

Hey pericas1991!

My name is Erik and I will be part of the coaching staff focusing on Tilt, A-Game, Mindset, and Lifecoaching. So if you have any questions I will have a thread up soon where you can easily let me know if you updated your thread with anything I might be able to help out with. I'll be trolling around the forums but just so i don't miss anything. smile

1. Could you please be a s detailed as you can on what types of tilt that show up in your game. What puts you on tilt most often? why do you think you react so strongly to that specific situation? What does it feel like? The more detailed you are the easier it will be to locate the core issue and start working on it.

Good luck with the Bootcamp

well while playing, those agressive regs can menage to make me go on tilt, when someone is constantly 3betting me, c/raising and that kind of things and well so far i think when i faced such opponents i was trying really hard to outplay them and made too many too fancy moves which are unneccecary, but i also have huge pressures moneywise since my parents have a buisness that is not successfull anymore and they are closing it down, my brother is a failed student who is not even trying to get a job or smth, so results have high influence on my mood and i really think i would not have many of these tilting problems if i wasnt under constant pressure like that, so now im just giving my best to improve a lot, increase the money i make and get to the point where i will not have to cashout for couple of months if i dont want to....

Sorry to her that the "stakes" and the pressure is so high for you atm. Since the results are so important for you its essential that you take as much focus as possible away from the results while you are in session.
Pick one pokerstrategy spot like 3b defense and focus all you have on that until you are comfortable getting 3bet a ton. Look at the other regs with gratitude for making it clear for you where you have to put work in (can be hard obv). You changing your perception of the game and making it about you and you r game is essential.

Also realize that they are actually exploiting you poker mindset if you will by putting pressure on you so what you react emotionally in those spots. They don't exploit it by 3 betting you, they do it from your reaction. don't give them the satisfaction

hey eric, thank for the advice, gonna work on these spots, obviosly the first seminar with pleno was really really great and really helpfull with my problems especially

last few days i was trying nl200 fr on stars out, think im able to beat that, but i would really love to be able to beat nl200 sh games there by the end of the month, with combined videos, seminars and personal coachings im pretty optimistic i will be able to menage it!

For sure you can! I believe in you

Want to post a couple of hands you were unsure about?

ok, so here comes a hand from yesterday, beggining of the session and its funny, started reading mental game of poker few days ago, and there jared explains how some kind of warm up before we start playing is important, i have never really done anything before i started grinding and i realized myself like long time ago that the first like 15min im not playing my best untill my head gets in my poker thinking mode, so this hand is from beggining of the session where i did not do anything again but now that i look at it, it does not seem to spewy to me, your oppinions??

Hero bets $39, MP1 calls $39

mp is a reg, opening 20% from mp, folding to 3bets 53%, 4b range 6.1, cbet F 48% T 67%, so because his 4b range is high imo i dont like 3betting as im not gonna see the flop too often, he is opening kinda wide thats y i prefer call pre, so when he chacks back i put him on some weak Ax, Jx QQ KK, so thats why i bet T for pot and plan on barreling almost any non diamond river, conserning my river bet sizing, i think i like overbetting, but i cant go like 2x pot size as i would be extremely polarized, with this bet sizing i think i would play my any 2pair and better... so what do you guys think??

@Eric i will write here and ask for anything regarding my mental game as soon as i notice that i need help in any way

hand no2

so here i think i missplayed it, but im really not sure about what line is best, is betting small pot for protection the way to go here??

same villain as in last hand, his resteal from sb is 12%, but im in hijack so i think its tighter than that and his overall 3b is 7.9%, cbet in 3bp 33%(6), and when he missed cbet on the flop he c/c 2 and c/f 2, so i kinda opted to cb and reevaluate the turn, but im not sure what things should i be considering here and to which conclusion should they bring me??

so here come few more hands from todays session..

i mean this kind of things happen to me quite often, i have set up the pot for a nice river shove after c/raising turn, and i am aware that im giving good price to opponents flush draws, but if i c/raise much bigger on the turn i fell like its less likely opponent is gonna be paying with overpairs and so i have a dillema of what is better, to just c/r big so that no draws get good odds to draw against me and if they do they are making mistake and they less likely are gonna call with many worse things, or just to continue with my standard sizings like i did in these two hands??

Hi Perica, let's hope we find you well?

How are you progressing with Bootcamp? Are your initial goals changing in any way, like adding any perhaps?
Please, post your thoughts here to keep your thread up to date, even as a sort of progress report. This will encourage others to discuss your ideas.

Forward march soldier! ♦

Mal.

hello Mal, bootcamp progress is nice, loved the seminars so far, and the vids that came out.. so about my goals, i`ve read now what i wrote, and i kinda feel different now, i think my hand reading is ok, but my main goals are now to become more active with learning and to reduce tables to maximaly concentrate on action coz i again started playing pretty many tables without table ninja even coz i have problems with it for some reason... anyhow, pretty happy with how this month is going so far, here comes a graph of it but even though im in nice + i kinda dislike it

Hey Perica, how are you doing?

I'm glad to see you think you're doing well with the learning aspect and you like the seminars, they are superb in my humble opinion.

And of course, since you were a naughty late person ( ♦ ) here's the link to yesterday's seminar you were asking about:

Enjoy!
