Gervinho's Galaxy ツ 4NL Back to Basics!

Pretty nice balance for May, way to go. Let's see if you can triple that in June ♦

[x] 2nd of June

I will start of with some future plans, on the 5th of June onwards, I will clear both iPoker & Party's bonus because of this new promotion. 4th of June will be shooting day for a video as well!

My database is ready for Party while NL100 Stars database is still on 50% of the 1.8 mirrion hands.

Today was also the first day that I played 3 limits simultaneously. It was easy to arrange them since I put the NL50 tables on the top of my screen stacked while I put NL100/200 tables at the bottom next to each other so I have a clear view of them.

June 2nd wasn't really a day of socializing on Skype. I played in my opinion a lot although it isn't really seen in the amount of hands Ive played. iPoker is still one of the slowest pokerplatforms so I guess that compensates it a bit

I received like 69% rakeback on top of the profit and that's 57$ extra

During the evenings, it was time for FullTilt Pokah! Only I had to ''hurry'' since my friends called me to chill out with them along with a couple of beers. I barely made Ironman on NL100 (Nl200 sucked arse) and I didn't liked the pressure at all

However, I maintained focus and played well both in terms of strategy & wins.

June 2nd was indeed a good day for Gerv, I hope it continues this way

Cheers and off to bed,
Gerv

[x] June 3rd

Today was a lazy day but not necessarily because I wanted to sleep till 1 CET afternoon. No it was just shopping outside even though the weather was not nice!

I bought some fish, fruits, energy drinks to replenish my inventory!

Anyway I didn't played a single hand in the afternoon, bad me!!
What I did instead was buying a Domain name which went completely wrong, moreover I was looking for a nice template to navigate my site to different sections (This blog, RaisyDaisy & maybe my personal blog about lifestyles etc.etc.)

Only Im not a flash, .xml aka webdesigner so I might have to hire someone in for a couple of $100 but as the way I see it: It is definitly worth it

So my first session was on iPoker mixing up the limits again because I started playing on NL200/100 first and then slowly adding NL50 tables.

I played 1k hands in 1 session while mostly I take a break after 700-800 hands but I was massively satisfied, getting lucky 1 or 2 hands:

Raked about $50 so I got like $30 back ,, not bad and I am #2 at the race so I played the 2nd ipoker session (2AM CET) on another platform.

FullTilt Poker was another story though. I committed myself to play NL200 by saying that I should be releasing the strict restriction rule of No good tables? No play on the limit!.

The tables were incredibly better and fishier than previous days so finally I could hit up to 9 tables playing NL200, wow this is a mindset change!

Getting more hands per hour means more playability in terms of the standard ranges but sometimes I can make a move on villains whenver the situation is right

I saw burek2k next to me and he folded his small blind very nicely so I could keep my BB

Isolating didn't worked out really well this session but hey keep doing this with <3%

I could quit at some point but I did not. I was playing well and after my short break by going to the Toilet, I was ready to RickRoll them And with success!

I even got my Set on the River when I was saying to myself: ''It is time to get lucky now Gerv with TT against JJ''

And BAM! I got it ♠_biggrin:

In the end, I was satisfied when I had to give 2 buyins back to the metagame as a result of the 70/30 games I constantly won but it was otherwise:

No Password & No Hate replies please against Daft Punk!

So in the end, It was a Lazy but still a productive day!

In the mean time:

Licor43 + Milk = YEH!
Licor43 + Pineapple Juice = YEH!
Licor43 + Orange Juice = MEH
Licor43 + Pineapple Fernandez Soda = So-So
Licor43 + Fernandez + Orange Juice = So-So
Licor43 + Milk + Orange Juice = So-So (looks Funny though!)

To be continued !

Hi Guys whaddup?

I feel I got the lazy-flu again by playing only 1 session on iPoker in the afternoon, I must discipline myself by playing 2 sessions in the afternoon. It will be hard with the coming days since I don't got so much time due parties..

Anyways, June Fourth was a Panda beats Me day, standard beats on iPoker as I analyzed it today and in terms of Buyins, the damage was minimal. Just as you win 2.5 bi on each limit, if you add it up you win much which is good

I lost like 2.5 BI on 200NL due beats and a few NL50 due spew-spew. This is because I don't take iPoker very seriously which has to stop stop stop...!!

Even though the interface is different from FTP, we are still talking about money?!?!

As a result of that I only played 2 sessions of iPoker and left myself doing the Coaching and a FTP session afterwards.

Even though I raked $70 giving me $50 in bonus back, I still lost some BBs on iPoker but nothing to worry about {yet}!

The SSS Dutch coaching was always merry with regulars and new faces The added small talk gives an edge over all coachings since we mosly have fun and oh we got some SSS hands there as well

No offense to your Friday's SSS Coachings listeners but I adore Small Talk even if it doesn't really make sense

DeKuip played BlackJack in order to cover his losses on 25NL Party SSS but he had to increase the stakes at some point from $5 -> $10 -> $25

Unfortunately he won with 14 getting a 7

Oh and he lost $40 during the Roulette Challenge where he had to bet $40 on anything and he got $10 from a listener He put it on black and it came on a red number *gnagna*!

Full Tilt Poker was a complete different story. I misinterpreted a squeeze, faced the tophands of his range and lost a coinflip in merely 10 minutes on 200NL. How to cope with this that is not really familiar to you on a relative new limit?

Well, just keep saying to yourself, the match ain't over. You are still standing, you have a bankroll management, you can do this!

Trust me, if I had a webcam and I recorded my face. Well you could easily see then that the first 30 minutes of the session was hanging on, surviving this torture. I was totally not in my game!
At some point, it all flooded away and I could play my own game again. During this sessions, I learned an important lesson to just play Lockdown Poker if you are not into your game yet and just keep your composure!

I was happy somehow someway when the session ended because of this '''moral victory'' despite that I lost 4 or 3 BuyIns, I have to sneak peek right now actually

Okay I just saw I ended up -1 BI WOOPI !

As you can see I had a -90 BB headstart which I turned over into a -20bb loss. That was just a side-effect since I was extremely satisfied with my performance and how I managed to not go on tilt after the quick losses!

A hand that made me go proud because of his float stat ♥

All In All, I learned some Psychological things on June 4th despite financial losses. We all know SSS is Swingy but we all know we have the edge against players ♠_cool:

For now cheers, Im off recording a Video + Grinding because I got a party tonight.

Hey, nice to see you don't let bad beats take you down. Wish you more days like 2nd and 3rd June tho.

And about that small blind.... ...anything for friends.

Hey Gerv, nice blog.

i am thinking of one of my owm also.

See you like some housemusic, some alcohol and small talk? hmmz..
Think i will visit much more hehe.

Almost gold, so you can keep me from stealing to much..

Having a majour upswing on NL50 / NL100 with SSS right now...
Average of 20BB / 100 over few K hands...

See you, maybe on Skype also...

Grtz...

that AA beated at the coaching yesterday was hilarious...

[x] Party, Tequila, Alcohol, Girls, Oh-my

Friday, Saturday & Sunday was not the moment to play poker I guess. I had a party on Friday ánd Saturday with Sunday covering my hangover more or less.

Poker-wise, I only played on FTP for ironman...

Sunday however was the day that I rejoined the Poker Tables, I only played 2 sessions though because I had to get a new license from the Operator which sucked balls

I only had time for 1 session on Friday since I had to do the coaching as well. Obviously FTP got the priority and with 12 tabling NL100 with an incomplete database, I added 2 BI up so guess that was okay.

I went to bed at 03:30 on Friday to Saturday so I woke up at around 12:30 CET on a Sunny Saturday!

My mind - still clouded - was looking for some caffeine. My day started very slowly and relaxed so when the time was right to play Poker, it was already dinner time

As the Party started around 20:30 CET and it was like 19:00 CET, I decided to either play Poker or play Call of Duty 2 to shoot some nazis..

Obviously I went for the latter one but somehow, someway I ended up playing like a nazi! pewpew! Unfortunately I didn't bought an Ironman day for 15 medals but hey shit happens

The party was nice with all kinds of drinks. Tequila shots were nice, beer was available as well! The only downside was that some girls weren't there because apparantly there were 2 different parties. Me and my mate could go Partycrashing there but we were too tipsy to find the other party so we decided to just to stay here

Sunday was a relaxing day, doing nothing in the afternoon because I couldn't play on iPoker and I didn't had much motivation to play on FTP 100NL with a broken database..

Jacky aka Kingdippy send me this stupid song ... Like a Boss... - thank you for that arshole !!?~?!?! 78390USKLFJ@(E$jL4

Concerning Poker on Sunday, ipoker went almost into Tiltmode - I restricted myself to only play Nl100/50 until I got the necessary funds to play NL200 and up. QQvsQJ -> limp/caller with a flop on T98 gg!

FTP was well played regardless of the results, still I have to find my gameflow becuase I still miss something in my game

- FTP 200NL

- iPoker Nl50/100

Im busy with the Dutch video but I still have to find motivations why I make videos since it takes a lot of time for a worser reward in my opinion.. yegh It will be about making Notes/Statistics and player profiles!

[x] Monday June 8th

Hello Another day of so-so 'working'. I had to get up at 8:30 to do something for school but the main thing was that I couldn't sleep till 02:30 because this was the first day since sometime that I HAD to stand up on time...

I had a soulread on me since I told this to veronika just before I went to bed it really sucked and I even 3 cups of coffee in the early morning didn't compensated my 6 hours of sleep Looks promising..

Monday was however the day áfter WWE eXtreme rules; Pay-per-view so I had like 3 hours of movies to watch while grinding

iPoker started frustrated, though I should take it as if I was playing a FTP session since on FTP it also happens when I get runner-runner against me and I only say nice hand there. on iPoker though, I get angry and stuff, whining like a little child.. >-<'

I played 3 sessions of iPoker today and as promised to myself, I avoided NL200/400 tables as in taking shots. Tough the tables there were a lot better than NL100 for sure in the afternoon ♦!

As you can see, no real dangers in the end, I even saw a stupid shortie (Decent stats though) openshove J8o on MP3, I snapcalled on BB with QQ, though he hits a pair on the flop & Trips on the Turn, idiot

Rakeback cover the losses this time but I just have to continue my optimal play and it will be allright

FTP went ok as well although I made one mistake which costed me a buy-in. Moreover I increased my notes on some Villains where I had difficulties with.

I also noted down some things I need to improve as I see that I miss Value there, I still can take 2 private coachings.. hmm need to find someone for that

Tomorrow will be another day, another play of Poker but man I really want to play Magic The Gathering competitive again! only I have to wait till october since then a new block is introduced thus a block is rotated out. This saves me hundreds of $ since I can speculate by buying relatively cheap cards as soon as the set is released. Then after some days, there will be a hype on some cards thus increasing in Value due Demand ♦

If you trade very carefully and solid, you can buy those cards in for as little as $1 and sell them in the end for $15-$20 per card

For Now Cheers
