[x] HELP! I don't have anything to say :(!

I'm braindead *snif* Dont know what to write about, basically my last NL200 session was on the 5th of May so I've been quite lazy concerning playing midstakes poker.

This has to do with 2 things:
1) Exams
2) Bonuswhoring in Timepressure.

Exams are quite clear for you but the 2nd thing is quite complicated. Mansion decided to backstab me back in April wheN I only went Pro VIP but now they amended my complain and made me Elite (With not extra point boost!!! so I emailed them again _evil: )

Meanwhile I signed another deal to play Nl50 iPoker again with another Skin, it has a slightly better value for me but since Mansion amended my request I still have a shot at the $1k bonus to be playing for in July to give myself a nice ship and Vacation :rolleyes:

Well let's go back to the NL200 show

I mixed up the stakes of NL100 with NL200 simply because NL200 was not as fishy as I expected on an early working day but NL100 was okay to play on, in fact I liked it more since I have less % chance to be scared of money there now.

All-in-All a good session, played wise and well

Today, I already played 2 NL50 iPoker sessions and I think Im going to add another one. Furthermore I play a midstakes Nl200 session as well on FullTilt later this evening.

For now take care & have a nice weekend!

PS a nice little brag: Thirty Thousand Hits, Thank Yuu !

Omahaha!
-With KingSippy aka Jacky

Prior to this match, I already won 3 times against him in a PLO SNG HU. I knew his strength & weakness, He tends to bluffraise a lot and folds a lot on 3bets postflop

He is also fond of clickraises preflop In position but w/e

Ofcourse I won the SNG but I should have won earlier but he hits his 6-outah.. >.<

A short highlight of this SNG:

[x] I quit! I quit! I quit!

Today I decided to cash out everything besides my main account where I play SSS NL100+. I am mentally not able to play without emotion on lowstakes SSS where bad beats are given more.

An amplifier as playing at least 1k hands on a spoiled network like iPoker which is infested throughout NL10 and up on FullRing.

Moreover I want to increase my knowledge so the only way to do this is learning BSS as in Theory, Videos & Discussion. Moreover I start on NL25 FullRing, probably on FullTilt or Stars (Clearing reload bonus)

As I have exams as well, i think it's the best to focus on that first and then add some theory of BSS, watching vids takes less time and energy

Tonight I have the public private coaching with Leo258 and this is a start of increasing volume on NL100/NL200 SSS :)

Bye iPoker, hello BSS Stars/FTP, hello a new-era.

Oh noo I quit playing SSS on Nl50 but still playing on NL200/NL100 and hopefully taking a shot at Nl400 ;)

It's just primetime, I play SSS and in the afternoons, I study BSS and play it

Maybe we have to lose intentionally against him one time to give him a motivation (And financial boost which eventually returns in our pockets anyway )!

Will do in a sec ;)

I think I will make the switch in the afternoon to NL25 FullRing as I get the basics (Postflop & preflop) . Videos I watched were good (1 leakfinder series on CR (Nl50 / Nl100 & nl400 FR) & hasenbraten's Nl25 thing)

Moreover if all else fails, I cash in my private coachings for BSS FR instead for Adv. SSS

See you tonight on the Bronze SSS coaching!

Strangely, I found myself more comfortable SS'ing on Nl200 against Fish rather than playing Nl25 BSS FR playing against 66% Fish

First FR Session with statistics was a Fact, known players only 70% which is dissapointing. Still I have to import like 500k hands + vacuum the thing. =)

I don't mind the losses as long as I am improving myself with Thinking about my game, learnign Theory & posting sample hands. moreover the CR vids are mostly on Midstakes (but with a HUD!) but I think ABC poker is the best for now.

I saw Eagle I think on Nl25 playing some 12/7 weird SSS thang, overall SS players there are bad and I know how to play against them (thanks BSS NL200 Regulars _biggrin: )

NL25 FR BSS

-> NL200

Decided to go SSS NL200 for ironman, I found 3 fish (54/20 like people) on 1 table and quickly joined that one. A nice squeeze-performance but wtf ?(
