I didn't play much last week. I had a pretty busy week.
My academic year has started today so now I have to figure it out when I will have time for playing.

Hi drinkmorewater!
I'm definitely happy to start my studies but not happy to play less poker though.
I'm a third-year medical student so my path after uni is pretty much straightforward.

As you may know, medical school is pretty hard, so I have to plan my time carefully.

Do you have a job, or are you still studying?

Weekly review #8

I was trying to get two blue chests in the shortest possible way so I was 4-tabling.
Apparently, it's not for me. It hurts my play.
And I was trying to adopt a new strategy for NL2z, NL5z from LemOn36's coaching video at the same time but with my poor mass tabling skills, it causes many spews from my side.

Spoiler

Plan for a new week:
Play two tables at max. It doesn't matter if I get the needed Starcoins in a week or three weeks.
Be focused on my game and think about the spots.
Study.
Enjoy.

Weekly review #9

Yep, I was gambling at NL10. Yep, against correct bankroll management. I was lucky not to get into thought spots and don't do it, please!
I hope I will not do it again, it wasn't fun.

I was trying a Lemon's strategy for printing money at NL5 and NL2 but it just doesn't work for me. I'm not saying it doesn't work at all but I'm not suitable for it.
Playing two tables this way tilts me and multi-tabling makes me being spewy.

I'm getting back to Confidant's Beginner's Course and I'm still waiting for updated videos of RYE Elementary cash game course.

Plan for a new week: (remains the same because I didn't follow it yet)
Play two tables at max.
Be focused on my game and think about the spots.
Study.
Enjoy.

But Lemons printing money aproach is basicaly ABC game same as the Confidants isnt it? It adds just a little of exploitation. Or where is the main difference for you? The 4k sample above is just too low.

Personaly I play mostly 2 tables zoom and thinks a lot about every hand. More tables = autopilot....and my autopilot allways crush 😂😂

A girl playing poker and interested in neuro, for sure I'm ugly :f_ugly:

My main interests currently are reading books other than textbooks.
I've recently read a book Why We Sleep from Matthew Walker and I can recommend it to everyone to read.
I've bought a keyboard so I learn how to play it and I'm preparing for next year's marathon.
