Guys, check out Barry's series of articles of economy/psychology principles in poker.
I spent last 1.5h reading through all of them. Some of them really resonated and overall I think these articles should be used by all poker players as reference points.
Articles are titled GTO Poker Theories.
Check them out if You haven't - must read!!!
For those who are interested, the latest article titled "The Sunk Cost Fallacy" is available here.
At the bottom of the article, there are links to other articles in the series.

Good afternoon all!
I am back home but still have some family things going on for today. Right now waiting for one of house workers to pop in and do some evaluations. I will not start Twitch session until this is dealt with since he will interrupt us.
So I will update as soon as that is over and we can do Study Session on Twitch.
Today's will be checking GTO vs Exploitative strategy on 1 high 2 low card boards. Figuring out our flop strategy vs opponents tendencies for flop in SRP and 3b pots.
Will be lots of interesting discoveries.
Stick around, I will update about start of study session as soon as house worker finishes evaluations.
Twitch study session starting in 5 minutes.
See You there guys 
For those of You that are 1st timers, in Twitch search type in IvicaIliev77
Good afternoon all!
Hope Your day is going great. I went to bed later and had afternoon nap which affected my sleep cycle.
Was doing some house chores until now and very soon will be starting with Twitch Study Session.
Today's focus is to X in SRP and 3b pots what kind of hands opponents PROBE and how they play vs PROBE.
Texture will be A9x as yesterday. If there is extra time, I will start also new texture with Kxx , xx being 1 mid and 1 wheel card.
See You soon all 
Good afternoon all!
Hope Your week is going well. Hopefully You got chance to go out and enjoy some freedom outside of the home 
For those that are interested in joining Study Session on Twitch, every day 1pm Serbian time zone (1h from now basically) are sessions. They are 1-2.5h long and cover variety of topics. In those sessions I show You how to do DB (database) analysis (of Your own player pool and site/limits You play) as well as how to work with GTO type software (PIO Solver is the one I use!) with information available from db analysis. In the end I show You how to take out most important clues and conclusions and how to transfer this to actual tables.
I have gotten a lot of positive feedback from You guys on Twitch. Appreciate Your support and following the work I put out for whole community. About a week ago I made videos subscribers only mode since there is going to eventually be 100s of hours worth of study sessions covering from pre flop to post flop frequencies, different textures and run outs as well as GTO vs Exploitable approaches. Currently there is around 30h of study sessions available to subscribers! To get access to that kind of info is basically 4.99$ per month which is huge bargain IMO.
I wish I had a coach who was putting in this sort of work (DB analysis + Node locking with GTO software) to spoon feed me knowledge this way since this is only reliable way to learn what You should be doing vs who in what kind of spots - everything else is random guessing by poker players based on some assumptions that could be correct or wrong! On the other hand I am happy that I didn't have coaches who were teaching me these things because this approach gets me to improve in poker every single day! I used to be very bad at DB analysis but thanks to doing things on my own I discovered hidden gems doing it - now I love doing it
If there is 1 thing I want You to take from study sessions, it would be to actually follow along and do the work in Your own DB and GTO node locking software. It will skyrocket Your understanding for Poker as a game, improve range vs range understanding, unlock when why and how You should be bluffing, teach You when to bet what kind of hands for value and what run outs favor You vs Your opponent etc. Finally, this road is a long one but I am 100% positive that doing things this way will make You be 100% INDEPENDENT Poker player. You will not need poker coaching from anybody after You get good at DB analysis and Node locking in GTO software. This is basically where poker is today and in 5-10 years from now we might have some A.I that actually speaks and teaches us this stuff vs us having to interpret results on our own
If You guys are still interested to attend Study Session, it starts in about 50 minutes from now and I will be focusing on today on 1 high 1 mid 1 wheel card, with focus on Q x x flop since previous days I covered Axx Kxx (with 9 being middle card). I will cover today both SRP and 3b pots and will focus on BTN vs BB spots.
See You soon

Just a quick heads up for today guys
I woke up with very heavy headache. Very likely will postpone study session as I can't sit in front of computer and focus at all.
Figuring out how to proceed rest of the day, throbbing headache for some reason...
Good afternoon all!
Hope Your week is going great.
My headache issue is gone. I had to take some medication last night as but today I feel 85% in relation to 3 days ago. I noticed a pattern when my sleep cycle changes that my energy levels are very different. So sleeping routine is a really important.
Just finishing my 1st coffee for the day and then will start Twitch Study Session.
Topic today is Jxx flop for SRP and 3b pots.
See You there guys !
Hey man,
I remember playing you on Stars's spin and goes years ago. Good old times.
I stopped by your stream the other day to say hi, but I couldn't due to your chat being subs only. It was a bit disappointing and might deter some other viewers. Also, I believe there is added value in a more active chat. Therefore, I would suggest you allow everyone to chat at least until you build up a decent community base.
And another suggesting if I may, if you can try investing into a professional microphone. It makes a big difference over headphones and considering your main content comes from your verbal explanations, I think it would be a huge benefit. I heard Blue Yeti was a good choice, but I don't have first hand experience.
Big thumbs up for the hard work you put into you study sessions. A lot of players should learn plenty from them.
Good luck with the stream and at the tables!

Hey man!
Appreciate the suggestions!
Yes, all valid points. I will return the chat function for sure. As far as equipment investment goes, yes that is in plan as well but not in current circumstances. In next 1-2 months my living situation will change so I will then in new living setup invest more into mic and other things.
Feel free to share Your suggestions about it - I am open to it
Glad You find stream of value and think players will find value in it. Chat feature will be resumed, so stop by and say hi next time
Good afternoon all!
About Coffee - my approach and take
Hope You all had a good rest and are having Your 1st or 2nd coffee for the day Coffee is part of a morning/wake up routine for me. It helps me be more focused and that helps a lot when studying. I found that there is a fine line between drinking too much coffee or caffeine and for me anything more then 2 coffees per day is too much. What I mean here is that more You drink coffee, more You get addicted to caffeine and require it more in Your body. What then happens is the energy level spikes happen through out the day. You may feel like You have energy and then there is sudden crash of lack of energy and You feel drained. This is all connected to caffeine. So my rule is to avoid drinking more then 2 per day as it messes up my energy cycles, sleep cycle and overall focus + may experience headaches or be jumpy when drinking too much coffee.
So to sum it up, some coffee is fine, too much is not. I use it when I wake up just before Study Sessions as it keeps me very alert and perceptive to information I am analyzing. If You can go on without any coffee or tea, just on water - that is great, do that. I have done that also but that works out for me when I substitute work outs for caffeine.
Today's study session
Starting in about 30 mins, today's topic will be Txx flops for SRP and 3b pots. These are one of my favorite flop types because initial aggressor has a ton more over pairs in his/hers range while cold caller has pair + draw hands , a lot of pairs and draws + tons of overcards. So in future days I will examine not only Txx flops but go all the way down to 432 flops and include some paired flops as well to see what opponents are doing vs GTO frequencies and we should play vs population both as attacker and defender. I expect it will be lots of fun and eye opening discoveries.
Chat is switched back on for all but access to video library is for subscribers only.
My brother last night pre-ordered for my birthday one mic to improve twitch experience for all and I expect it will get here tomorrow or sometimes next week. So no more headsets in near future, there will be mike with a stand and all.
Model I am expecting to arrive is: Redragon Blazar GM300
Look it up. I think it will be very good, checked some test on YouTube last night and it seems to do very good job for Twitch
See You soon - enjoy Your 1st or 2nd coffee in the meantime 
Good afternoon all!
Hope Your day and weekend is starting off great.
I will be doing Twitch Study Session 1 hour from now. We will look into T9x rainbow flop 3b pot BB vs BTN, analyzing different run outs and frequencies
Will try to finish study session before 3:30pm as there are Bundesliga games and I would like to trade some goals on them.
See You soon all
Good afternoon all!
Woke up extra slow today. Will need some time for morning habits to kick in (coffee with or without breakfast, and some quiet time for 20-30 mintues).
Expect Twitch Study Session to start in around 1h from now.
Topic for today is T9x rainbow, investigating turn and river run outs in 3b pot BB vs BTN.
When that is done with, will move to lower board BB vs BTN 9xx with straight draw (98x) again 3b pot.
See You later all
Good afternoon all!
Hope Your Monday is starting off great. All the important habits in place taken care of and ready for rest of the day
In about 30ish minutes, Twitch Study Session will start. Today's topic will be looking at 9xx flops in DB SRP and 3BP. Frequencies of bluffs and value bets and comparing actual DB with PIO solver suggestions (GTO).
Hope to see You soon
Good afternoon all!
Hope Your day is productive as You want it to be.
Twitch Study Session will start in 15ish minutes. Today's topic is finishing 976r BB vs BTN 3b pot, focusing on turn and river run outs.
Yesterday was flop play covered which is available for all subscribers to watch. If there is extra time today, I will cover also couple of marked hands from last nights grind session in PIO.
See You soon 
Good afternoon all!
I am very excited about today and I will share with all why. In the past I have done database analysis but I have never done super detailed analysis. It was always being with general frequencies that help adjust.
Today, I will look at how opponents play when they attack us. So today will be doing analysis for cbet frequencies, probe betting, fold to x/r. General as well as specific positions.
I hope in the Study Session I will get to cover overall frequencies for every position and then cover specific BTN and SB , as those 2 positions play widest range of hands. As You know, it makes sense to apply 80/20 rule and focus 20% of efforts on things that bring 80% results. In 6 max poker that will be BTN and blinds plays.
Once this is covered, in next days will look into defending frequencies. So how often are opponents folding to Cbets, how often do they x/r , how often do they float and probe bet etc.
It will take couple of days with several hours study covering this but once it is done, there will be major conclusions.
You can of course take this even further and figure out on very specific flops and specific positions what opponents are doing. Of course, the more detailed analysis You want to do, the more data You need.
Today I will look at NL25 database on GG poker.
Study Session on Twitch starting in 1.5 hour from now (Noon UK time zone).
See You there
Good afternoon all!
Today is another special day for 2 reasons!
1) Twitch study session in 30 minutes. DB analysis how opponents defend vs cbets in SRP , 3b pots, vs probe and float bets and vs x b b xx b lines!
2) After 6 months of being physically inactive here in Serbia, I did my own Muay Thai training with bag.
I will do my best to keep going every morning for workouts. Need to get back my ideal weight with which comes more flexibility, fluidity , pace, energy levels improved etc. Basically preparing myself for what I will continue to do in Thailand.
Hope Your day is going great and I will see You on Twitch in 30ish minutes
