Ah, seriously speaking, I don't regret taking the super nitty BR approach when I moved to ongame. But we will see how it goes, I don't know either, Fruktpuff-I have 10 more playing days to go. Will try to put in a decent volume.

As for this moment- it's like 8 in the morn around, looks like it's gonna be a hot day. Not sleeping, fock it. It's overrated. I might head to the beach later as it's been like good 10 days since I last visited it. This Demonic69 guy has been telling all this boring stories, but recently I found out he had changed his taste about music! His hero now is Jon Lajoie, not indie rock stars wanna-bes! See how getting old eventually does bring some wisdom is our lost minds.

I played like 100 games today. Prolly even a bit more. Kicked off hot- about 600$ on the plus side, but at the end it fell down to 200$ or so. This was your birthday present right there, demonic. You gotta go with my e-mail greeting card now. Time for reviewing hands. I certainly did a few spewy plays today, so need to check up a few spots. That's it for now. I will try to put in a good volume the last days of the month. Maybe like additional 800-1k games.

This is a good slow play

Yep, the better you are postflop, the more hands you can profitably play. Wish I could do this shit with T3o.

One of my favourite 54$ regs.

lol. im so fucking confused. nh

Heh would be nice to know villain thinking process there...

I got confused as fuck too. Not sure what he was thinking.

To change the subject a bit, I will be saying farewell soon to what seems to be a pretty shitty month. Today my i-net brake down, so I lose about 250$ thanks to it. Word.

EV is minus 3.0, ROI is minus 8.6 for around 1650 games. I will play the last 3 days, making it like 20 consecutive days(I was lazy in the beg of August, so I have to catch up). I still see some leaky plays and mistakes in my game and that's something I have to work on in September. I will probably take a break for half a month, maybe even the whole month. It depends a bit on few other factors too. Seaside is getting a bit chilly during the nights where as in other parts of Bulgaria there are temperature records braking. I miss Akos at the tables. Me and Demonic. The guy loves Sushi and is now on well-deserved vocation. Take care, buddy! Take a lot of pictures and I promise to get my other friends to put "likes" on them. Ok, ok, maybe I am a bit sarcastic. With no bad intention of course.

Hm interesting, so you do seem to have some good taste of music in you ♦

What's wrong with 50, Jon Lajoie and GP?

But thanks, bro! As September is approaching big, it kinda brings to my mind and I thought this is a good time to greet you with what-rates-to-be-your-favourite-Jon-Lajoie-song nowadays.

Show that venezuelan flower some love, will ya ♠_biggrin: ♠_biggrin: ♠_biggrin:

Time for a pre-wrap up. I will do it tomorrow or the day after. I want to rest first as I played with no day off from the 11th on Had to catch up with the volume and rake goals.

Now that this month is over- I can say a few words to summarize it- it was pretty shitty. For real. I mean, it can always get worse and worse, so I shouldn't be a drama queen or anything. At the end, once again, I made stupid plays every now and then, what's worse is that I make em and the moment after - I realize what I did wrong. Thug life. I am not gonna be too harsh on myself though. I see much worse from regs who run godlike for 3-4k or even 10k games. There was a good change after the 20th of august- a lot of fish got into the waters again and tables were considerably softer than what it was in June and especially July. Traffic at ongame also got much better- a few days in a row, I saw 20k people playing at the peak hours.

I will post my HEM graph:

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

As you can see- a few games are missing as I got disconnected few days ago, which caused loosing an additional ~ 250$. All in all, I am like 350$ down to what the graph says.

EV is minus 2-2.1% Ofc not great, but I think there will be a decent chance it will be ~ BE if the bad run ends.

I am still not sure how much rakeb I will get, I need to wait for rakeraces to be over, I expect to be down like 500$ postrakeb. If I ran on ev, it was going to be about- 2.8k on the plus side, so even though EV seems shitty, it's still not that awful. I want better though as I know I did better few months ago. I want to take a whole month off and try to fix as many leaks as possible. It seems a bit too much though and I think I will feel quilty afterwars for spewing time. I also need to study my opponents better, how they play in 3bet pots, what range they 3/4/5 bet vs me. What range they raise with 15-20bb eff from late position and so on. Maybe I will sacrifice half the month for that purpose + I plan on taking like 5-6 days vocation. Not really a vocation as I am on the seaside, but prolly enjoy it for last as I am leaving in 10-15 days.

That will be all for now.

Cheers!

I know it's been a while, but believe me- those last 10 days were super busy and I barely had time to sit on the computer. Finally back home. Seaside is gonna be missed, but that's not that bad- otherwise- it means I didn't enjoy myself much.

All in all, as it's getting late- I am down 500$ down postrakeb for August. September I am gonna remain silent here. I need other things to take care of, most of them are still poker related, but prolly not playing.

I also consider stopping putting goals and month evaluation for October. I feel a bit overwhelmed with everything. Prolly same applies to skype/facebook. I need my head clear, I don't want any distractions.

Cheers and don't get me wrong. I don't regret starting this blog and sharing results/thoughts. But there's been something for the last few months that doesn't give me rest at all. Maybe it's just the tiredness and I will change my decision in like 10-15 days. We will see.

Night!

I hope it goes without saying, but if there's ever anything you want to talk about, just pick up the skype, mi amigo.

+1 for me

Very, very nice of you, boys! It's not bad things that happen though, just don't feel as hungry anymore about playing. Maybe that's it. Maybe I got distracted too much with non-poker related things and that's why. I have no regrets yet though. Hope it stays this way.

Cheers!

Life without pkr? A level, surely?

There is one thing what I really dont understand...

I play 5max turbos too on 11-22$ limit. I think my ICM knowledge is really good, so I don't make stupid calls, tight on bubble, and push as much as I should, etc..

I think I really plays my "A" game and I'm a winning player on sng-s for a long time ago.. BUT

/

I really don't understand my EV line... Am I playing bad, or It's just because of I win flips, and win some 60-40 situations on Bubble and Headsup play?

And what do you think, is that enought I'm playing the ICM well and its jut a bad streak now, or should i something to change?

Thanks

Hey,
350 games is not a sample ♦. And if u know icm well, but u suck in other spots then it makes sense that u are a losing player. Not sure is it the case here, but u should post hands, watch vids, read articles and hire a coach.

Fhradm, there are at least 2 possible explanations for a falling red line:

1 you are consistently getting your money in badly, or
2 you are getting your money in ok, but your chip stack at the time of the all in is so reduced from its starting level that you are still losing money. ( for example if the starting stack is 2000 chips, you lose 1000 chips in a series of small pots, and then get your remaining 1000 chips in the 60:40 favorite this will still register as a falling red line)

Thank you Tim!

Probably that will be the explanation for me, coz mostly on early blind levels I lose my third of my chips in raise, cbet situations.

or you get in 70% of your stack ahead on the flop and on the turn and your opponent hits the river and you can't fold
