Hmm, I think I dont tilt in an angry way anymore.
then it shows up the 3. or 4. day if something goes wrong again.I am emotional person but look at poker from a rational point of view, but anyway sometimes it gets to me.

Seems like you things under control to a large extent. Do you have a Warm -up and Cool-down routine before and after you play?

Why do you think you get so upset at making mistakes? Try to elaborate a bit if you can

Nice work so far!

Hey there Crokid,

I will be happy to help you with your studying problems!

Can you please give me a couple more details about your studying?

1. What does your studying look like at the moment? What do you like about it, what would you like to change?

2. What would you like your studying to look like (best case scenario)?

3. What have you tried in the past to improve your studying? What worked, what didn't?

4. Do you have any favourite studying techniques?

5. Do you have any motivational problems? If yes, have you tried doing anything about them?

Looking forward to working with you!

1. My studying atm is just watching videos here on PS. I dont do my home work and analyses of my game or my opp. In the past I was reviewing my hands a lot more and was searching for leaks and problems in my game. I dont like my current studying and would like to structure it in some way but dont know how to start and then I loose myself without any real direction.

2. I would like to do session reviews daily and hands reviews.Post hands here on blog and talk to experts like you to give me pointers and put me on the right path. Maybe you could give some kind of daily/weekly plan to stick to? From friday I am free to do as much as I can to learn and put into practice new habits to make me a student of the game.

3. I never learned the "right" way of learning. In school and college I was always doing things at the last minute and never found or really tried to change those bad habits in poker aswell.

4. What do you mean? Like watching stuff,reading or listening? If it is that then videos prob. the most.

5. Definitely had them in past. Huge downswings which I experienced have done the most damage to my motivation for learning and playing and then I took long pauses in playing( months). That was 2-3 years ago. Now I think I dont have any motivational problems and am eager to digg in. Untill recently I was always running away from the problems,hiding from the truth and wasnt doing anything about it. That I want to change with your help and others here in bootcamp.

Thank you Primož,
Marin

Hey again!

Friday is tomorrow, so let's try to make a plan that will work for you :). I like your attitude as well, so let's get you started right away.

I don't think we should complicate things too much at this point, by far the most important thing that we need to do right now is to establish daily studying habits. Once we do that, it'll be fairly easy to increase the amount of it and get into more advanced studying techniques.

You can start by getting a notebook which you will use for writing down your leaks.

The next step would be to do a session review daily. Let's say that you need to review a minimum of 5 hands daily, but you are of course free to do more than that. The main important thing is to really review at least 5 of them every single day. If you manage to do that, you can increase the goal next week to a couple more hands a day.

Other than that, it's really important that you write down your leaks into your leaks notebook once you've identified them (if you made a mistake, write it down in your notebook. Always!).

You can mark mistakes regarding to their importance (highlighters, underlining, etc.), and find solutions to them (often you will find the solutions in the hand evaluation section or in the bootcamp). Once you know your leaks and solutions for them, you can simply work on fixing your current biggest leak during the next session. Once you've fixed the leak (don't make mistakes anymore), mark it as fixed and move on to the next biggest leak. Some leaks might take 1 session to fix, some might take 10. Try to be really honest with yourself here and really only move on to the next leak once you've fixed the current one.

How does that sound?

Hello Crokid and welcome to the bootcamp!

Leveling yourself in reg battles is a very common problem, and so is not having enough aggresion in some spots while having too much in others. I think pleno's video that comes out tomorow will help a lot with finding really good spots to show aggresion. I'm not sure I'm qualified to respond regarding the mental part that you write about, especially since I'm not the calmest guy during downswings either, but it sounds like you get very frustrated and call just to prova that he actually had you beat and you're really running bad. I often feel that at least, I would guess it's a pretty human thing to feel.

Feel free to post hands and other session related stuff here and we'll be more than happy to take a look at it!

Oscar

Thanks Oscar:)
Pleno's video really made a difference for me. Made me realize there is so many options to think about when in difficult spots like oop in 3bet pots with air. Yeah, like you said I turn into Negreanu and call it off even tho I know I am behind..Some weird/sick way to prove to myself that I made a good call on the flop when I was in front but board ran in a bad way and I couldnt let my hand go because of tilt/ds.. No more of that!! Hopefully becoming mentaly stronger and with your help and from the whole bootcamp pro staff. Hands where I made mistakes big or small will come and your advice will be well appreciated.
Love what Patrick and You are doing for us players and admire you both!
So happy to have that kind of support here on PS(bootcamp)

Thank you:) Maybe I do but nevertheless I feel like I am far from my desired mental state when in downswings or when I'm not playing optimally.
Dont have a warm up routine sadly. Would like to have one. Please suggest me some. Cool-down routine also needed:)

I think because I still make so many beginner mistakes that I dont find reason why.It is weird, hard to put it in words. Expectations are too big maybe. Maybe I just put myself under too big of a pressure to perform in a way that is still not manageable. I want to get "there" asap. What do you think? Sometimes I have a good understanding of the game and opponents but I didn't take the proper way and education. That's way now is the time to go "back to school" and go through it all once more but this time in a detailed and "working" way. Been focusing too much on playing for too long . Hope I managed to open myself enough for you to give a proper diagnose.

Thanks so much for helping,
Marin

Great:) Lets do this!
I already bought a little notebook for this purpose:) (seen it in your video)
Ok, I will start today with that, at least 5 hands and will write my leaks in there aswell. Then probably post hands which correlate to that leak to get some opinions and solutions to my problem.
My pre and postflop stats(OPR ranges) are not as I would like them to be so could start with that maybe.

This sounds nice:)
So glad to have you in my corner Primož.
Marin

Here are my position stats from Partypoker fastforward, few days ago I moved to WH and will post those when I have a bigger sample.

Sorry, this time got it wright hopefully:)

Hi Crokid.
I'm happy that you want to improve and move up.
I'll try to help you with some of the things you mentioned you struggle with:
Lets start with this one:

"Weak plays in a lot of spots, too much barreling in wrong spots"

Go to holdem manager 2 filters - in the basic filters, in the bottom right of the screen there is a group of "quick filters". Filter once for "one and done", once for "double barrel", and once for "triple barrel", and post some of the hands you were unsure about or felt badly about your play.

Talking and thinking about these common spots can help you develop a more comprehensive game plan so that you are much more confident in these spots in the future (which will also cause you to tilt less!)

Hi sirrybob,
here are some examples and some of my numbers.
Are my screenshots of any value?
What else could I post to be valuable?
Looking forward to here some thoughts and opinions.

In one and done filter I found to be losing a lot of money which was not a surprise because I know that it is my leak.I don't give up immediately when I should or don't choose the right spots to barrel two or even three times.

Against LAG-s I tend to 3bet this hand in SB vs BU open. What do you think about that? On this kind of flops I usually get a lot of folds so I cbet. Turn??

Double barrel makes me money,maybe some advices here because I don't know if these numbers are ok,good or bad.

Triple barrel,what can be concluded from this numbers?

alrighttttyyy

I think you are just generally playing tooo, too, toooooo tight

Except rom EP, which is good, you are playing too nitty from each position, we should be stealing WAY wider. What I've seen in the bootcamp is we ask somebody to post their 16% range from MP and they end up posting a 23% range.

Lets be honest with ourselves here and post your ranges in equilab, from MP/CO/BTN and lets discuss all of them.

Your 3bet from CO/BTN is also way too low meaning that your overall vpip/pfr will be too little.

Hi
I know I've been playing pretty nitty on partypoker but that was my style for a long time:). I am trying slowly to add more hands. Only now after your wednesday live coachings I have been trying to put more aggression in my game pre and post flop.
It helped me and put me in the right path for learning how to exploit different situations. I think I am not so weak in many spots now because I was just horrible some time ago and only played fish and avoided regs as much as I could.

Now I play on WH and been playing more aggro style and it pays of. I think that it is not as crazy like partypoker and people can find their fold button and the regs are more aggro preflop but can be outplayed with your advices from the live coachings. You opened my eyes in so many spots and my red line is now in the + or around 0. Before it was going down to the ground.

I will post a graph from WH and stats so you and others can see how your live coachings gave some good effect:)

I don't have some strict ranges but more or less, depending on the table I open similar ranges.

Would you recommend me the PS SH standard chart or something more wide? Do you want me to post screenshots from the equilab from postions?

Thanks pleno1 for your help,
Marin

This are my ranges when I started playing on WH speed tables NL50
They are not fixed, sometimes I open more wide and sometimes lower,depending on the stats I have on my opp.

UTG open raising range

MP open raising range

CO open raising range

BTN open raising range

Hey mate.

Some thoughts on your ranges.

Utg I would avoid opening all suited aces and k9s q9s in a solid table
Mpi would I add all pp
And co you could much wider if the players left to act are not super agro
On the btn I would also go much wider, ie Ax suited King etc
