PLAN: Platinum videos.
Learning:
"$1k Venetian Deepstack Live in Vegas" by AaronLambert
Duration: 47 minutes.
Very very poor video this one I must say, and actually completely not worth watching. Guy plays like a recreational player imo, being kinda pretty fishy himself.
"Sunday Million Review - Part 1" by JonathanLittle
Duration: 43 minutes.
Much much MUCH better video, even in the first three minutes you can feel a HUGE difference imo after wathing that poor video of AaronLambert ... It is such a relief to listen Jonathan's thoughts, which ARE ACTUALLY interesting, LOGICAL and useful 
so, sorry, AaronLambert ... but your video sucks but yeah, of course, if anyone's reading this, by all means don't take me for granted, its just MY FISHY opinion 
Anyways, considering THIS particular Jonathan's video, I think it is pretty good, very nice and logical and explicit but as well as not too boring, long or elaborate reasoning from his part. I really really liked it. As probably ALL of his past videos seen before Good job, Jonathan ! Even though the video it self might be considered a bit "old", cause IT IS already +2,5 y.o., but I really think that 95% [if not more] of the stuff that Jonathan says there, is still cooompletely adequate for nowadays 
"Sunday Million Review - Part 2" by JonathanLittle
Duration: 39 minutes.
Little summary.
It is very important not to forget to constantly look at the other people stack sizes. For ex. not to open too much into re-steal shoving stacks, or play back more yourself against huge stacks cause they might be opening quite wide since they have chips, and also when they 3bet vs other medium/big stacks, since maybe this was the way how they got their big stack in the first place - by going after someone, so you definitely can make lighter 4bet shoves, like with AQo being 20bbd.
Playing:
Break for satellites till Sunday, and break for zoom grind till Monday.
Major update also on Sunday.

Tuesday, 12-10
Been a while since the last update, cause had a little break from playing poker, mostly just watched "old'ish" platinum videos, as well as the whole Bootcamp thing/videos, and also some other personal live stuff under way, which I'm still contemplating, but all in all, as mentioned before, some bigger changes are coming to my "day-to-day" routine, and gonna update it here as soon as everything will be ready.
And as for today, the PLAN is:
- 2 new recent PS.com videos
- a mix of satellites and tourneys for the evening
Learning:
"Bootcamp: Oblioo on Defending vs a Button Minraise" by oblioo
Duration: 26 minutes.
Nice video, took a screenshot of the suggested ranges. Logical explanations and reasoning, clear voice. Decent video in general on all aspects imo.
Little summary:
As a general rule concerning 3bets, suggestion is to be more polarized in BB and depolarized in SB. Also when getting deeper, 3betting OOP should be less frequent and more polarized, assuming the villain who has position on you is a good/tough reg. And when facing 3xopen instead of min-open, ranges should tighten up noticeably.
Choose a good cbet size in 3bet pots. In general, do not cbet 2/3 flop, leaving you with a weird stack on the turn, where if you get called on flop, you cannot really cbet turn 1/2 leaving you pot committed, and also like cbetting 1/3, giving opponent a very good odds to call. So the TIP would be (assuming <150bb deep, btn MIN open, and your 7bb3bet, dryish board, not vs fish): cbet ~10% of the effective stack on flop, setting up stacks for a reasonable cbet on turn, and ~3/4 pot size river shove.
"Interesting Spots" by CollinMoshman
Duration: 31 minutes.
Didn't watch till the end though, cause it was ALLLL JUST about Nash, whereas I thought it would still be a little more stuff relevant to MTTs in general, even though he IS mainly SnG coach as I recall correctly and also I was a bit curious to try one of his videos anyway, never watched any before, and the tittle also kinda got to me - good job on picking such So yeah, in overall, if you're and sngs grinder I bet the video is kinda good imo
Playing:
17:45 tourney: 423/1.100, aip being 66% ahead
Last hand. Guy steals btn over 25%, so plenty of FE, and also we can be called by worse suited Ax or underpairs maaaaybe, and especially when sb called, much more dead money in the pot, so I think my 10bbs shove is nice here, but unfortunately, we get called by sb ...
BTN: 5,710 (28.6 bb)
SB: 4,612 (23.1 bb)
Hero (BB): 1,993 (10 bb)
Preflop: Hero is BB with 8♥ A♠
6 folds, BTN raises to 424, SB calls 324, Hero raises to 1,968 and is all-in, BTN folds, SB calls 1,544 with A♣ 4♠
Flop: (4,585) 4♦ 3♣ 4♣ - sure, why not again (2 players, 1 is all-in)
Turn: (4,585) Q♦ (2 players, 1 is all-in)
River: (4,585) 3♥ (2 players, 1 is all-in)
18:00 tourney: 2.826/3.800+, out when all-in 87% ahead
This is the last hand, how do you like it ? ♦
Villain was a HUGE fish with 92-67, with a 60% 3bet :f_love:, so thats why the call OOP [also in this situation when such an aggro fish maniac is behind, open limp I guess could be good as well, but didn't want both fishes from blinds with complete crap in the pot in case this guy does not play with me], and also because he was bluffing so much and soooo bad postflop, and calling off sooo soo light, that I knew if I'm gonna hit TP or SD, I'm gonna go for it, and have the best hand a loooot of the time vs him, so ...
CO: 2,412 (40.2 bb)
Hero (MP3): 2,175 (36.3 bb)
Preflop: Hero is MP3 with J♥ Q♠
4 folds, Hero raises to 127, CO raises to 420, 3 folds, Hero calls 293
Flop: (975) 2♣ 9♠ Q♥ (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets 420, Hero raises to 1,750 and is all-in, CO calls 1,330
Turn: (4,475) A♥ (2 players, 1 is all-in)
River: (4,475) 7♠ (2 players, 1 is all-in)
Results: 4,475 pot
CO showed A♦ 3♦ and won - sure, why not
Hero showed J♥ Q♠ and lost (-2,175 net)
19:09 satellite: out in 5 min, being all-in on flop 86% ahead
This is the nice hand:
MP3: 8,910 (111.4 bb)
CO: 5,630 (70.4 bb)
Hero (BTN): 2,620 (32.8 bb)
Preflop: Hero is BTN with K♥ Q♠
4 folds, MP3 raises to 160, CO calls 160, Hero calls 160, 2 folds
Flop: (600) K♠ 4♥ 3♥ (3 players)
MP3 bets 320, CO calls 320, Hero raises to 840, MP3 folds, CO raises to 3,040, Hero calls 1,620 and is all-in
Both players were huge CT fishes [CO also on the too aggro side once in a while], so that's why the small thin value raise on flop, cause they were going to call me with much much worse, and also sometimes I think I can provoke a spazz with my sizing here, from the player like CO, which in this case it is exactly what happened ...
Turn: (5,840) T♦ (2 players, 1 is all-in)
River: (5,840) 2♥ (2 players, 1 is all-in)
Results: 5,840 pot
CO showed 2♣ K♣ and won 5,840 (3,220 net)
Hero showed K♥ Q♠ and lost (-2,620 net)
19:19 satellite: out in 5 minutes as well, aip being 75% ahead
Are you kidding me ??? 
Not that this isn't a normal cooler once in a while, I definitely won't cry about it when that happens, but come on - FOUR - of them in 30 minutes time in ALL 4 tournaments ?? ♠_evil:
CO: 6,000 (40 bb)
BTN: 1,970 (13.1 bb)
Hero (SB): 2,315 (15.4 bb)
BB: 4,000 (26.7 bb)
UTG+2: 4,791 (31.9 bb)
MP1: 6,516 (43.4 bb)
MP2: 3,575 (23.8 bb)
MP3: 2,000 (13.3 bb)
Preflop: Hero is SB with A♦ Q♦
2 folds, MP2 raises to 300, MP3 folds, CO raises to 975, BTN folds, Hero raises to 2,315 and is all-in, BB folds, MP2 raises to 3,575 and is all-in, CO folds
Both guys of course are fishes, mp opens more than 25%, CO 3bets around 27%, and I have a very nice hand being 15bb deep, so I happily get it in vs THESE TWO GUYS, expecting to be called by much worse, and even sometimes to get just folded to, won't be too surprised to see it from huge fish as CO was, but ... this is what actually happened:
Flop: (5,755) 4♠ 8♣ 9♦ (2 players, 2 are all-in)
Turn: (5,755) J♥ (2 players, 2 are all-in)
River: (5,755) 3♥ (2 players, 2 are all-in)
Results: 5,755 pot
Hero showed A♦ Q♦ and lost (-2,315 net)
MP2 showed A♥ J♦ and won 5,755 (3,440 net)
?MAYBE?* 19:30 tourney:
cancelled
?MAYBE?* 20:05 satellite:
cancelled
?MAYBE?* 21:00 satellite:
cancelled
* depends on how the previous games will go: if super unlucky, then I will call it a day, no need to burn money anymore; if normal - then gonna play all of them.
Yeah, so it's safe to say that this day was not just "super unlucky" but super-SUPER-ATROCIOUSLY-unlucky ... God, don't even remember such a day 
Not that I would be losing by sad setups or losing flips, but it was FOUR times in ALL FOUR tourneys vs FOUR huge FISHES all FOUR times being WAY AHEAD Really, not much else to say, I'm frankly stunned, and do not have any more comments ♠_confused: Better luck to others tonight !

This is harsh :f_frown:. It happen also in cash game but there you can come back. In tournament you are mostly out and it has to be even more frustrating. I think there is a reason why you need such a huge BR to play tourneys. All i can say is just Keep Moving FORWARD. You do things right.

Yeah, as I also play cash I'm able to compare these two, and yeah - definitely much more frustrating, well at least for me, and at least for now ... And the BRM is kinda crucial I think here, even more than in cash games ... Cause in cash I'm actually playing on a very aggro brm ... 25BI is taking shots, and 30BI is moving up [BUT ! as well as when falling below 25BI, strictly moving down], and it is ABSOLUTELY fine for me psychologically, but tourneys ... A whole another deal I might say ... As I have read somewhere [maybe even in PS.com article long time ago] that "you should never spend more than 2% of your bankroll on a single tourney", as well as a lot of people say that even 100BI bankroll should be just a minimum. Especially if it is your only source of income, then even as much as 200-300BI bankroll is recommended. So currently concerning these MTTs/satellites that I play, the major part of them is like 300-400BIs for me, some of them are at ~100BIs, and just a few once in a while is for ~60BIs, so I think I'm at least very safe with my BR in terms of "busting", even though yeah poker is being absolutely the OPPOSITE OF KIND to me 
But I will survive 
I'm just wondering how the cash grind will go, cause I'm about to start quite soon'ish ... So it would be very very desirable not to move down like 3 limits in cash as well ... uf ... 
But yeah, "just keep moving forward" ... Thanx, man !

EVENING of Tuesday, 12-10
So since playing went for me horribly painful today, but somehow I'm still not sick from poker in general [what a loser, huh ], I've still decided to watch some more videos. A bit "random" ones I guess one might call in terms of "specification", since I play zoom and FR mtts/satellites sometimes, but it is still fun, so the main reason for watching now I guess it is to "relax" a bit, whilst of course STILL learning some good stuff. So ... Here I go.
Learning:
"Ongame High Roller Victory Review - Opening Stages" by pokerguru740
Duration: 59 minutes.
Well although I don't think he is AS GOOD [and I didn't like him AS MUCH] as JonathanLittle [of course a lot might disagree, but ... who cares - I don't - it's just my fishy opinion anyway, so, peace :rolleyes:], I guess overall it is not a bad vid at all, definitely gonna watch the other parts Not much to summarize though.
"HU with TwiceT - Part 4" by TwiceT
Duration: 45 minutes.
Although it is quite old, but gonna watch it anyway, cause 1) I've tried to play HU sng's quite a lot a while ago [that is WHERE, by the way, I've overcome probably ALL of the possible tilting issues, cause MY GOD - the number of horrendous bad beats that I've got in this game - also known for it's high variance, and especially being as "lucky" as I am - I think most people can't even imagine in their worst nightmare ♦ but I mean seriously here ... As I've already mentioned before - if you wanna become REALLY TILT RESISTANT [well in the end, if you do not go insane in the first place ], the best way is NOT Jared Tendler or Schnitzelfisch, but - just try to play Heads-Up for a while I mean, really and not just play, but "try" to run bad ... And then you'll see things that you've never imagined or dreamed of, I promise you 
], so it was and still IS a very interesting variant for me [where you have a fish just allllll by yourself 
]; cause 2) it is a Platinum video, and I'm still taking a chance while I can; and cause 3) well .... IT IS legendary TwiceT "on the mic" !
Ok, I must admit that overall I didn't like the video [content/new information wise] AS MUCH as I expected that I would, but still, yeah, it was FUN, cause of TwiceT - he's such a NATURAL "real-honest" person [not sure how to put exactly into words] that it is just always a pleasure to watch/listen to, imo
"HU with TwiceT - Part 5" by TwiceT
Duration: 42 minutes.
Ok so I still decided to watch another video of him, the last part in the series, cause it is still fun And yeah, actually there IS one new thing that I could learn from him - SUPER THING VALUE BETTING-RAISING ON THE RIVER but I mean SUPER-THIN He actually does that a LOT, in the spots where I was like - WTF 
WHAT possible hand CAN call you here ?? ♠_confused: - but surprise surprise, he WAS getting called much more often than I imagined that people would, so ... I guess this IS something to implement in my game afterall
And by the way, very important point, considering my "speech" before about "variance in HU" and how you just "automatically" become tilt resistant in this game - just watch this video and SEE it for yourself how MANY RIDICULOUS things can still happen ! Yeah, you can't imagine it in your worst nightmare Nothing like that almost ever happens in 6max, not to talk about full-ring ! And TwiceT is experiencing exactly that! in this vid in the first two matches, what I was talking about myself enormous suckouts, given the whole situation/context, IN A ROW ! So after these you just don't worry too much losing being 80%, 90% favourite when getting your money in FR tournaments, o 6max cash games ... [but yeah, not to repeat myself too much and whine about it but ... IT STILL IS a bit hard when you got sucked out 4 times in a row, in 4 tournaments in a row, in 30 minutes gap 
]

... or is it ???

Haha. No more guessings if that was mocking or not :f_biggrin:. It really wasn't :f_cool:. You just made some great analysis of those unluckily loosing hands in MTTS and of course i remember all your work in cashgame. Also you said you played HU SNGs and if this is not wide repertoire then wide repertoire doesn't exist ♦. I think you can even widen it a bit with some OMAHA in the future :f_biggrin:. So it really was a compliment.

ok, NOW you made me smile but honestly, I mean so thanks for the compliment I guess
And talking about Omaha ... I dont know actually, not really there are much NEEDS right now for it, but definitely a possibility just to "try and see what a heck it is" some time in the future [cause yeah, haven't played it even for once] But for now, I'm still pretty interested in 6max - actually I kinda LOVE IT - and I still feel like high buy-in MTT's and HU games are in my "desire for the distant future", so ... Quite enough of games besides Omaha And it WOULD be nice to be good at least at one of them finally ♦ But one thing at a time I guess, "baby steps" !

SnG satellite no.2: 64/72.
Lost 3 pots vs huge CT but passive fish, had to fold either on turn or river, when the board got very ugly and fish raised my supposed to be value bets ... And then lost the last flip aip vs same fish ♦ Cool, today's going very good so far ♦ losing EVERYTHING ♦

Losing and losing ALL the flips ..... down to 6bb's ...

Thursday, 12-19
PLAN: a LOOOOOOT of videos.
Learning:
Gonna list all of the desirable videos, wanna catch up a bit, just not sure if I'll manage to watch all of them today though But first let's just list, do my best, and see what happens
"Bootcamp: lnternet plays Live at 500NL Zoom" by lnternet
Duration: 52 minutes.
Well even though in the "complete end" my conclusion about this video settled down to like "mediocre", BUT ! in the first 2/3rds I kinda liked it very much, and also it was the first time I heard "Internet", so overall I must say I was pretty happy to watch, quite clear content and reasoning/explanations So being said that, and also considering the fact that I still have my platinum, I've decided to include in the list another two of his platinum videos
"lnternet @ Microgaming Part 3" by lnternet
Duration: 34 minutes.
Meh ... I guess it is just that I don't like his particular playing STYLE as such and as much as I do Pleno's, oblioo's or Uri's ... But decided to watch that last video anyways, cause of good rating.
"lnternet @ Microgaming Part 4" by lnternet
Duration: 34 minutes.
Yeah, content is good, but the sound quality of this particular video is REALLY poor ...
"Aggressive session" by oblioo
Duration: 46 minutes.
Liked this video VERY MUCH. Well actually, and honestly - LOVED IT ♠_love: ♦ TONS of good information in my opinion. Also, liked his playing style very much. And super good reasoning and explanations throughout all hands. 10 out of 10 Made a BUNCH of useful notes for myself to consider in the future And yeah - def a recommendation to watch, one of the few greatest vids I've ever seen
PS.com public coaching with Uri Peleg
Duration: 90 minutes.
A very nice coaching from Uri, as all of his vids are to me Gonna start watching his coachings more frequent, cause I kinda missed them before, not sure the reason 
TOTAL DURATION of learning/watching/listening today:
4 hours and 16 minutes
So not bad at all imo, kinda a record for me, and kinda proud of myself today And even though I haven't played a single hand of zoom in a while MYSELF, I still feel like learning a lot So I guess there's no real reason to be sad of not putting in volume yet But soon, soon ♠_evil: ♠_evil: ♠_grin:
Also, removed some of the videos from the list, cause yeah - feel like already done quite a lot for today, no reason to "spazz-out" too much Gonna continue tomorrow though
Goodnight !

PLAN: "a LOOOOOOT of videos" No.2 
Learning:
So again gonna do a list all of the desirable videos, and again not sure if I'll manage to watch them all today (probably not), but leeeeet's just aim high and see what happens
"Bogdan's 10NL SH HH Analysis: AKo Equilab review" by BogdanPS
Duration: 18 minutes.
Meh ... :} Definitely not bad, but nothing special either I'd just say its very solid, given the fact that the video is for Silver members
"Exploitive Folds" by pokerstrategy
Duration: 6 minutes.
"When you make an exploitive fold, you exploit your opponent for not bluffing enough, because you don't pay him off hen he has his best hands". ♦
Also, took the QUIZZZZ ♦ Results are: "You achieved 3 out of 4 possible points. This corresponds to 75 %!" ♠_cry: Completely do not agree with that last question and it's "explanation" ... But anyway, who cares, 75% !!! MUST be GOOD, right ?? ♦ ♦ ♦
"Bubble Strategy: Introduction" by pokerstrategy
Duration: 8 minutes.
BIG quiz again ♦ "You achieved 6 out of 7 possible points. This corresponds to 86 %!" - and again not 100% ♠_cry: ♦ And AGAIN could strongly argue about that one "mistake", but whatever ... I knows best anyway, right ♦ ♦ ♦
"Hot $55 Review with KatieDozier314" by KatieDozier314
Duration: 31 minutes.
Aaaand now a video for fun and pure healthy interest in poker in general Also don't know this guy either, so let's see
oooohhh crap, its a GIRL ! ♦ ♦
aaaand I must admit - as much as the content would be good, imo, it is still kinda hard to concentrate quite often, because of HER voice and constant laughing and giggling ♦ which is, OF COURSE ♦, very nice and pleasant to my ears Soooooo yeah - very good video content wise, really liked it, but HARD [that's what she said ♦ ♦ ♦] to concentrate and listen TO the ACTUAL CONTENT not just the sound of HER voice 
♦
"HUSNG.com - Button Play with Sentin7" by Husng
Duration: 48 minutes.
Video of a PS.com "rookie", so interesting to see what he has to offer And since I always liked HU, let's watch this for fun And maybe learn something new also ![:]](https://www.pokerstrategy.com/_forum-runtime/wp-content/uploads/wpforo/emoticons/pokerstrategy-legacy/basics/pleased.gif ":]")
So .... I must say TO ME it felt like kiiiiinda controversial video in general ... Considering the incredibly LAGgy-MANIACy style he proposes ... While it most certainly might work for HU HYPERS, I don't know, obviously I'm NOBODY to give an adequate opinion on that, but at the first look it did seem to me kinda new and really not bad a suggestion of a strategy to try it out IF I were playing HU HYPERS, BUT ! When he proposed the same style for 6max ZOOM .... IIIIIIII don't know ... Didn't like that much, and also the guy was running kinda like GOD in every hand whilst doing that, IMO !!, crazy stuff, so it would really be interesting to see HOW he applies that style when he's running NORMAL, AND ! over a big sample ... I don't know ... I'm no expert here either, obviously, but at the very least I must say that the things he was suggesting were really controversial, and I was not only NOT convinced that it is the best way to approach the game and win significantly in the long run but also I don't even wanna try it out ... Didn't hear ANY good and logical reason for that ... But that's just my opinion, and anyone who is playing 6max ZOOM should definitely check it out for themselves. Would be kinda interesting to hear their opinion about it but ... since probably no one is reading all this what I'm babbling here anyway ... ♦ Most definitely it will be just me and myself in the end ♦ ♦ ♦ aaaaanyway, it is still a nice feeling to let your thoughts out, so ... Saying HI to the future ME, who decided to revisit and reread my now to be "OLD blog" ♦ ♦ Hope you're crushing the game and living the dream ! ♦ ♦ ♦ aaaaand also HI to Alan !, if, somehow, you are still reading How are you ? ♦ ♦ ♦
And as to conclude my thoughts on the video in general - I'd say it is just 4/10 for the "playing" part, but I DID LIKE the "mental" part, kinda 8-9ish/10, so I guess that brings to like 6/10 for the whole video . Although still NOT gonna watch his videos again. Unless, of course, something extraordinary comes up, like, a very good rating over a decent sample, or a very interesting title, like CollinMoshman got me before ♦ but that's just it.
"Pink Performance - Part 9: HU Special vs. Dengalne" by TwiceT
Duration: 50 minutes.
and
"Pink Performance - Part 10: Heads Up Special vs. Dengalne 2" by TwiceT
Duration: 49 minutes.
Nice two videos overall, cause I like TwiceT and his playing style, reasoning, etc, but I was a bit annoyed with that "vonki" person in the background ... Cause she really did not put any real input imo to the game and video in general, meaning we did not gain anything, and just missed out some of the quality "alone TwiceT time" ... And also that constant repeating "aha" from her part is just SOOO annoying ... Anyway, good videos from TwiceT, but to be fair just overall giving them like 8/10, cause of "vonki" person.
TOTAL duration of learning/watching/listening today:
3 hours 30 minutes
Not that much as I was expecting in the beginning of the day, but still good enough I guess Will continue tomorrow
Goodnight !

None planned for today.

"Things to Consider at Showdown" by pokerstrategy
Duration: 11 minutes.
Short but GREAT video I might say Some known stuff very well summarized and simply explained. Some notes:
Look out for deviations in opponent's - Value ranges, - Bluff ranges, - Calling ranges. Group villains bluffing hands into different categories:
WHEN, in which instances and HOW does he bluff with
- Flush draws
- Straight draws
- Overcards
- Gutshots
- Weak made hands, that decided to turn into a bluff
- AIR with no equity at all
And let's take that scary quiz now
"You achieved 6 out of 6 possible points. This corresponds to 100 %!" - YEY, finally !! ♦ ♦ ♦
