Good night ♦!
Gerv went on Tilt when travelling to University...
Seriously, I had to get up at 06:30 and was finally ready to catch the Train that shoots me through Utrecht/Gouda straight to Rotterdam.
That takes about 1h 30 minutes travelling 107kilometres...
Bad news this morning was that there were some maintenance at the uttermost crucial part of the Railway system... Utrecht & Amersfoort...
Seriously, as you can see on the Google Map link, I travelled twice as much (198 kilometres) because some idiot from whatever he is coming from is doing something that is not right...
Seriously the fuck.
I missed the first part of my class but luckily it was an introduction 
Shitty part was that my stomache hurted as hell this morning (I think something to do with the food I ate..)
I travelled across all other Universities (of Amsterdam, Leiden, Delft) but seriously I was pissed.
Good thing what happened today was that I met my old COD2 clanmate who knows Justin (yoghi!) as well who's studying the same thing as me only the INternational part (with International students).
His roommate is a Russian Girl and she looked kinda cute but no conclusions yet ♦:D. Good thing is that I have convinced him to play poker more seriously through PS.com and heck we can play poker in cafetaria's and stuff so I migh tinvest in a laptopt ♦
Well I'm off playing a session or two + playing TF2, I have to get up at 05:30 tomorrow, pretty dull..
btw I saw Terrorblade's vBlog as well, you should check it out because it is awesome! Though he should have showed me some big macs since those are way too cheap there in New Zealand ♠_biggrin:

So missing my train today, I negotiated once again with both Dutch/English department for SSS videos 
Karlo responded and through a brief miscommuniation, I can make more videos for the English, great
so what I will be doing for both Dutch & English department is to create 2 SSS videos where I will play Basic SSS+SHC on 2NL Party & 10NL Party
For the Dutch I will move up to 25NL to eventually 200NL, for the English, the future there is still uncertain. But it is a start
As I am travelling everyday back and forth for 4 hours per day, I think my mind is rather instable to play poker right after that (<1 hour) so I will take it more easy.
As I missed the train now, I will play some BSS FR now ♦
- Gerv
Phew 4 hours travel >_>
Think in mauritius these 4 hours i would have been able to go to the north part and south part of mauritius 
Think 4 hours travel for me would mean death o.o !
Good luck with the videos ^_^!
Hope i will watch then as i always forget to watch video >_<
Vid done for the English (Bronze SSS vid (for the Duthc this will be part 1 of my series but you Dutch will get an introduction ♦))
Tonight coaching + some Rockst*r sponsored Night Sessions
Previous night was fail in the 3rd session:
Apparantly I shouldn't have skipped class yesterday since I got my supervisor mailing me to do some stupid things ♠_evil:

Hi Guys,
Playing my most aggressive game today as in Preflop, I lacked some postflop skills to round it off, that's why I decided to take over and evaluate my session tomorrow with a full session review, not just the marked ones.
Now I played 16/14 which is 2 points above my average (14/12) and my 3bet increased from 3.5% to 8% in the session.
I felt a lot of opportunity but sometimes I made the wrong split-second decision, I can't stand that. I made one stupid call while I know Villain's river AF/AFq was basically 1.0 & 14% and I still called with TT on a Q93-9-7 board with a Flush on the River and stuff.
Regardless of the hand Villain had, he had me beat 100% - stupid to lose an additional $10 in the hand 
Still I am a learning player and I will be playing on 50NL till September. In October we can re-evaluate the play and maybe take shots to 100NL but since that is far far away, I like to focus on 50NL and my game first.
I've integrated SPR (Stack-to-pot ratios) & Committment treshold in my game where I learned that from Professional NLH, I still DID NOT finished the book so I can add many more tricks into it.
Gradually keeping my thoughts process structured (What's his SPR? Am I committed here? When is the treshold?) I keep my game very well organized and that benefits me the most.
Since my EnergyDrink has worn off its powers, time to go bed ♦
Cheers,
Gerv

fyp? ^^
[x] Gerv you are still nothing and need to work on your game!
I am still at the bottom of the food chain. If I do nothing, I will stay there and be break-even at best. So time to get up and be structurally active again in learning!
This means that I will burn my September Goal of Increasing more volume since in this period, it ain't technically possible. I am travelling 4 hours per day back and forth from my hometown to Rotterdam 
As soon as I am home, I am still unstable to play a session right away despite that I sleep in the train!
So from Mo - Thurs , I will play only 1 session and the rest is meant for learning purposes and/or university.. >.<'
I am also at a point that I am thinking: ''Why am I studying something I do not really appreciate at first?''
It is not my first nor second nor third nor fourth and no fifth choice to study Bsc Business Administration. I solely used it to pass my first year and eventually be transferred to Copenhagen Business School to finish my Bsc there.
The thing of Rotterdam is that the business school there is that the school is ranked top 10 of European Business School. So I am studying there for prestige, status. Guess with all the costs already spend on it, I should continue and make the best of it.
However there will be some times where studying is all fun like meeting old friends from your gaming clan and/or having my own condo (60m²) 
But let's go back to Poker! I still haven't finished the book Professional NLHE but I will soon finish it as I have to speed up things!
I found some German BSS Quizzes to test my knowledge and from there I can focus on some topics I have difficulty with.
I will review my Turn//River play as I saw an exploitable thing in my stats after 15k hands played.
Maintaining and learning on 50NL is my biggest priority, as soon as I have the skill level to move up 100NL, I will bring in some cashflow in my repertoire but now I think it is important to focus on IMPROVING by all means.
Videos, coachings, theory, practice, evaluations, session reviews, private coachings, sweat sessions, rehearsal, a bit of self thinking is a good blend for the most delicious cocktail called plus3V!
I still do not have to pay my tuition fee and other expenses from my poker winnings. My work for PokerStrategy fullfills that duty + some other income from the State & parents. So no worries nor pressure there
Having this said, i will wrap it up to start a session review + making the quizzes and hopefully play a session this afternoon just before the SSS coaching!
I hope this is a nice read or something that shows things the way I look at them
Feel free to flame me or yea whatever
English Vids are uploaded, should be up next week!

Hi Gerv!
I believe you got the perfect mindset. I dont think theres any way you wouldnt make it big.
Im trying as much as i can not to think in $, sometimes its pretty hard.
We all need to work hard on our mindsets, since i believe that is what its all about in the end.

Def true, you will climb limits short and steady but skyhigh with your way of looking to poker.
ow and... Emma Watson? Can't you come up with something better, I dont like her freckles 
Hi Gerv,
Can you get good wireless internet connection on the train in NL? 4 hours a day commuting could be some good playing time!
Good fortune!
Hey Guys!
Seems like there are readers after all So to wrap up monday in a nutshell:
I sacrificed time(Equity) for STARBUCKS *ding*ding*ding!* (♥ variance) ♦
No seriously I just travelled 1 hour more to purchase a big can of Hot Coffee with Caramel for like $7
Furthermore my mate called me and said that I can move in in the condo as of tomorrow. Still it is unfurnished -.-
I will make pictures of my new room or show it through a video, only I want to have a good booze repetoire before I shoot a video because then I can brag lulz
Emma Watson is awesome yea! DaPhunk's buddy knows her so I have a chance!
I mean how can you resist this:??????????
I think there is no wireless connection from the Company itself gavinonymous but I think the time to invest in such a connection on the train while travelling is a bit -ROI since I will move in my Condo which is 15 min. away from the University.
The University however has very very nice chinese tomato soup ♦, a very very nice croissant and a very very very nice lunch menu ♦
And the university got hotspots for wireless internet (incl. the restaurant) so I can play online poker there I think.. also during class I can play
Pokerwise, I haven't done anything except ripping off DC and cancel my trial because I will be busy in the coming 2 weeks. Seems the English are slow publishing my videos but the Dutch already have. NExt step for both communities is making a 10NL video again I think.
Ripping off DC has a purpose since I want to watch those videos at demand and I don't want to be timerushed and stuff.
Tomorrow no class since I will skip Math (I have to get up at 05:30 for that >.<)
Arigatou!

Had some fun on Party since I have to get like 80 partypoints in order to withdraw my funds or sth like that
!!!!!!!If you need a database from the big 4 (IPoker, FTP, Stars, Party!) platforms for reasonable pricing (I'm definitly cheaper than HHQ.com & HHDLR!.com)
Add me on Skype (=Gervified) and we will make a deal :)! I have got several testimonials whenever necessaryGuaranteed 10-20% discount to 50%!
played 50NL FR (6tabling with messy hud + table) & 25NL SH 4 tables
I signed the contract of my new apartment so I can move my stuff there! whoopii 26m² and stuff, I only share the kitchen/shower with my roommate, I know him already for 6 years so no probbies. He hazz a pool in his backyard as well 
So with moving things, Playing Poker is on a big Pause except these little roundabouts of SH//FR on Party. Still I expect myself to make some more videos & do the coachings.
Ingol asked me to take over his Silver Coaching permantently due internal reasons or something like that. So I will contact the coaching supervisor (Berliner) in order to fix that.
If you don't like me to replace Ingol then just reply here , no worries
Cheers
