knelse/Sigil on road to Brazil – how to and not to suck en route :)

Finally done with all the formal stuff and started playing.
Hit stoploss (3BI) for today. Most of the loss is on PStars, where my $125 bankroll just ended, ’cause I got drowned in action and made some horrible mistakes.

Problem: hard to play 4+ HU tables at once, especially on different sites with different layouts, time to act, etc.

Installed Stack&Tile, hope that helps.

Good luck!

Thanks!

Yesterday I almost finished the day around zero, but got TT < JJ preflop, AK < KK preflop and straight vs higher straight on turn – so, stoploss again. Made mistakes too, but there’re nowhere as horrible as yesterday. Overall I’d say it was a nice day, I begin to understand what’s going on.

My first profitable day playing HU ever, woohoo!

I’m improving in the amount of mistakes too, today it’s 1 questionable play for 120bb vs mega aggro guy and 2 or 3 for 20-30bb.

Another fine day! I’ve tilted a little in the middle of the session when I had bad runouts on 4 different tables at once, but I was able to control myself and finish the day in good shape.

I’ve bought *one non-PS site* converter from *some guys that make converters*, hope it’ll arrive tomorrow and I’ll be able to add winnings there to my PT4 graphs.

Real result is around +85 EUR, PT4 omits hands

Yay cool day! Made some mistakes though, could have saved at least 2 BI. Playing only vs limping guys seems to do the trick

Kinda strange day. One of sites makes me go into monkey tilt with their soft, I need to do something with it. Every time their pop-up “Hey let’s go play some tournament” shows I wanna murder all of them brutally >_<
Won like 90 EUR or something.

Was ill for a couple of days, starting to play again.

Time to make first week review! Youtube video tomorrow, but the real stuff goes now.

What I improved already:
1. Much less mistakes and misclicks
2. Don’t play regs and semi-regs any more
3. Volume is getting nice again after I was really sleepy and/or ill for 2 days and was just mindlessly doing EV calculations for like 8 hours. Around 45 or 50 hours of game time, I think (PT4 shows 60 but that’s lies).
4. I don’t fear guys on PStars that much any more. When I started I was just super afraid if someone who sits at my table and not limps for 5 hands
5. Standard and semi-standard spots. I don’t need looking into the notes I made each 2 seconds.

What needs to be improved:
1. Volume. Going for 10h/day minimum to hit 250h/month in September.
2. Spewy spots. They’re bad river calls mostly, I just burned 300 EUR maybe.
3. Villain selection. I’m already quitting some guys after like 6-7 hands ’cause they do serious stuff, but I need to do that systematically – sometimes it’s just too tempting to wait 10 hands more and see if they’re really that good or just pushing random buttons worked once.
4. Schedule. For now I haven’t got any, so even dashboard tells me my yesterday wasn’t finished when I try to submit new day’s results ♦

Back from being ill
Won around 250 EUR, everything goes well.

Another nice day, around 250 EUR in profits. Moving to sites with better RB, hope it helps do things faster

Strange week. Had problems with computer that took me almost 3 days to figure out and (hopefully) fix, so it's only 45 hours instead of 60+. Month at 85h atm, need to put more volume in.
Weekly review incoming
Aside from PKR and one other site I made a whopping 0.65 EUR/hour

Duh, who needs weekly reviews when it's 500 EUR profit day

+7 BI versus one guy, my record IIRC.

I finally can play NL100!

Nice rollercoaster day.

Player 1022 hands vs one guy, OMG.

Not feeling well today, played only 4.5 hours (1.4k hands).
Month at 28937 hands, 122 hours and 2597 EUR profit. I CAN DO BETTER!

It could have been a best day...

If only PKR was better.

And one other site too (in GEL actually)

Good luck mate...

Btw whats that about the road to Brazil? Do you intend to come here?

Thanks
Yep, I'm going to come for a longer period next year (this summer I spent close to 2 weeks there) - and then I'll decide if I'm going to stay

That's nice ♦

Where are you planning to go?

I really liked Rio district, especially Friburgo. Also planning to visit as much of the country as I'll be able to just 'cause it's so different from here
