Gervinho's Galaxy ツ 4NL Back to Basics!

It's more than just stoving, stoving is just a minor part in it.

Let's say I find a hand where my analysis tells me it is kinda -EV (-2bb per hand) by the numbers I put in. Then I am definitly interested what the default +EV range of my sqz behaviour is and how this affect my EV, variance and winrate

That said it is a pure question about math: +EV or -EV?

Shortstacking is a bit easier but still has enough simulations/scenario's to dig through. It is more easier solvable than fullstacking and I think I am one of the few pro-shortstackers who maintain a continuously stream of improvement in my game.

I notice a lot of fulltime ssplayers not even adapting to certain situations

I just ordered two books , ready to be shipped to me within a couple of days

One is a Cocktail book with 500 recipe's and stuff. I feel like I still drink the same mixes over and over again (Malibu with chocolate milk <3 , Pisang Coke oder Jus etc.)

The other one is Discourses on Livy written by Machiavelli. I read The Prince (Il Principe) when I was in Spain (16 yo dude reading books about zeh World Domination MUAHAHa)

Discourses is about running a Republic, well I see anyway

At 2:25, I described the goal of Sneijder:

[x] A Cry of Frustration
A Sunny/Windy 4th of June

Heyho Guys, I just finished my 2nd short session due some technical LAG. Either it is Malware anti-bytes I accidently put on Guard 24/7 OR it is opening up the flashplayer.

Doesn't matter what it is , both options are now DEACTIVATED so that in combination with a lot of coughing due hayfever and stuff, I won't rage against my PC machine.

However tilt doesn't really affect SSS that much, you only are calling a shove relatively looser but it doesn't really happen as often as you think

Up till this point I didn't looked at the daily graph but I was happy that I had played 3k hands. Especially when I was outside from 12-3 o'clock playing Warcraft 3 vs an opponent and surfing the interwebz

I used 2 hours to analyze 150 hands of yesterday's session, made some notes and analyzed some situations again (or new one) & fixed my EV game there

Also from 15:00 - 17:00 CET games were kinda dead so i think i will use the afternoon for some Hightstakes 3 tabling action on my laptop ♦

ANyways in those 2 sessions I think I went up and down so I guess I ended up in the red numbers but we will see:

up 1 stack $1/2 and the rest is $0.5/$1

Only 1.2k VPP though so that brings it to 25.4 / 200

Now off to get this stupid sickness over. At some point coughing hurts a lot >.<

I ve looked over your thread and thinks its very inspiring, but the one thing I really want to thank you for is the music link to Deep fm. OMG its so good and makes my sessions flow so much easier now, thank you love the link so much.

Then she linked me to a dody site which I WOTted and it was instnatly blocked (hilarious)

Unfortunate I didn't get any nigerian land lords on my MSN to give me $1 million if I transfer $1000 first to them

Hmmm pretty short session outside my terrace since fish were leaving the tables.

Got pwned by a 65/3 fish who called my utg raise with 4:h2:h , flop A44r, I cbet he calls, Turn is a T so I overbetshoved 90 into 85 or so and he snaps
This versus reg:

Grabbed by Holdem Manager
NL Holdem $10(BB) Poker Stars
SB ($506)
BB ($217)
Hero ($226)
UTG+1 ($300)
CO ($235)
BTN ($234)

Dealt to Hero J♦ J♣

Hero raises to $25, UTG+1 raises to $300 (AI), fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls $201 (AI)

FLOP ($467) 4♠ 6♠ T♠

TURN ($467) 4♠ 6♠ T♠ 8♠

RIVER ($467) 4♠ 6♠ T♠ 8♠ K♥

Hero shows J♦ J♣
(Pre 54%, Flop 74.6%, Turn 80.7%)

UTG+1 shows A♣ Q♣
(Pre 46%, Flop 25.4%, Turn 19.3%)

Hero wins $464

Last hand marked a new era for me: Shotting the HSNL more regularly.

It is just a coinflip but a +EV one

Furthermore I chilled out at a friend's place in the afternoon (they are from PokerStrategy as well)

we played some $0.05/$0.1 3handed. there was NO 3bet dynamics , omfgzor smallballish

I lost quite a stack with 52o versus K9o (He clicks BTN, me calls BB, K52r me c/R3.25x, Turn 9:d, me bets, he calls. River was a 4:h and he crycalls saying ''I guess I have to call this too'' when I bet 75% of my stack -.-''

I made one bad call tho and one bad fold. But even then I learn from my mistakes

24 degrees celsius and a cold beer + cashgame, I like ♦
Last but not least, chewy's 3k/8k video was also a solid video while having my breakfast

- Gerv

I've been digging through my cocktail book so I am going to buy some stuff for it, especially when I saw xarry2 stash and stuff

Should be humble at first. moreover I think I will buy Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 + expansions for 10 quids just to enjoy making theme parks on my laptop whenever I dont have internet access ♦

[12:44:08 PM] Gerv: lololo.
[12:44:14 PM] Gerv: hahahaha
[12:45:34 PM] Gerv: is the BMP still going?
[12:46:43 PM] TwiceT: yes
[12:46:46 PM] TwiceT: fr-sun
[12:46:50 PM] TwiceT: but im already dead

Drawing dead sucks but this is even more worse and at the same time HILARIOUS ♦

true

however, im a fighter: i will continue partying crazy monkeystyle next 24 hours ofc

[x]Overrrrrrrrrrrrrrrtime!

Life is great. Sitting outside outside with my beer. DeepFM sounding through my headset. And 25 solid degrees

Yesterday I received my cocktail book about mixing and some recipe's. I was not really thrilled but still I decided to go for as announced earlier.

So my trip started today after the conversation with TwiceT. I went to a local housekeeping store where you can buy stuff for kitchen, bathroom and stuff.

Unfortunately they DIDn't had a shaker , crusher, filter and stuff but I bought the glasses + icecubes thing I need.

Then I went to the Supermarket witha built in LIquor store (5% cheaper than thé specialized liquor store)
I bought a small bottle of Vodka, Carribean Rum and Blue Curacao. That was on my wishlist

Then you got these 15% alcohol supermarket thingies. Since I am starting out I wanted to start out more humble so I bought those wannabee Malibu, Pisang Ambon, Amaretto bottles. I also bought Vermouth.

I wanted to buy ice-cream as well but it didnt fit anymore on my bicycle ♦

When I came back I had to go again to the city mall because the amaretto wasn't like Kahlua for White/Black Russian mix.

So cycling back I bought the Kahlua. Furthermore some Green Icetea TwiceT will enjoy, Grenadine, cranberry, pineapple, chocolatemilk, Orange juice were also bought.

Last but not least if TwiceT decides to show up in Holland I have him taste the best beer in Holland so I bought that as well as well as Guiness

The only Big Big Problem I am going to have is: where in the blue curacao hell do I put this stuff in??!!??!. My fridge is full namely lolz

Tonight BBQ so no pokers. iPlay Nano stakes will be released on wednesday. The last episode will be made tomorrow and then you will see a 50NL-200NL series from my part I guess

So TwiceT: There will be an Overtime

- Gerv

w00t I managed to drink more than 50% of a 1l vodka without being passed out, I salute myself!

Today I need to hear if TwiceT is able to come, I have to do some cleanup here as well ♦
