Thanks for the feedback! Currently I have around 10k hands played. I don't think enough to find decent leaks. I use PT4 and used the leak tracker there, nothing wrong to see untill now.

Maybe in the future you can help me out? I would greatly appreciate it :) looking forward to see your YouTube post.

Sweet graph - looking good and steady over the sample! Did you move up to NL5 yet?

I started my challenge of 10 k hands on NL2, if any one want they can watch the video on Twich.

My goal is to get some $$$ to buy some small crypto. I expect to maintain over 30bb/100 that means atleast 60$ after 10.000 hands.

I'm in Romania and a few days ago i was watching some show on TV and a guy was speaking about a crypto he developed from Romania, i google it right after that and the price was 50$ but i refused to believe that will go up. Now the crypto ( Egld ) it's over 200 $ and is still going up :f_biggrin: So i want to get a small Br and try to invest in some small coins.

By the way I bought 1 Egld for 180 $, Just to be sure i have one coin :f_biggrin:

In this challenge of 10.000 hands i dont care about my EV line or my red line. I just want to get $$$ so i'm going to FISH.

Here are the stats from the first session :

And the Twich Video : https://www.twitch.tv/videos/907009518

400k hands on NL2. This is like committing suicide, failing, and doing it 400 times more.

Psycho Paula seen that player. Bets huge for value. Doesn't seem too concerned about being set mined while holding top pair kicker. I think you pushed me around at first and then I started getting aggro back using my tight image. Definitely one of the more aggressive players I've seen in a while. I've had 30bb/100 winrate over 25k hand sample. So let's see where you are at 250k hands played.

I watch a fair number of female streamers, and the good ones are quite aggro when necessary.

I know what you mean though -- I used to play hearts online, and one of my screen identities was "Mitzi" -- and "she" got treated much differently than my other one "EatTheQueen"

Cheers,

I went back and edited it.:f_wink: But yes, pretending to be a female player is one of the tricks these regs like to play.

I didn't played to much in the last 2 days, but i will finish those 10k hands soon.

My name on pokerstars in not Psycho Paula it is PsychoPala same username from World of Warcraft. Pala from Paladin the class that i play on that game. If you or anybody else have leaks that i see in their HUD stats yeah i will push you around any day.

My avatar yeah it's a photo of Emma Watson but that doesn't mean i pretent to be a "female".

If i have an avatar with a baby or maybe a photo with a horse that doesn't mean i'm a baby playing poker or a horse.

It's kinda strange you judge your oponents by their names or their avatar :f_rolleyes:

Good luck with the grind :f_drink:

My eyesight isn't 2020 and when I saw you on Pstars I thought your name read Psycho Paula and carried on that misread on here. I laughed at the time when I first saw you on Pokerstars. I honestly thought your name read Psycho Paula. It must have been your female avatar (and my English cultural bias) that led me to read your name Pala as Paula. Because you play play so aggressively I immediately put you down as a male player pretending to be a female because this is a common tactic pretending to be a female player to induce action. I had no idea who the female in the picture is. I was right though in that you are indeed a male player, but wrong that you attempted to fool people into thinking this. I apologise for mistaking your name Pala for Paula. Easy mistake to make when your vision is not perfect. I don't have a tracker but I think I only tangled with you in a few spots. I did observe you playing tight preflop and then betting large, pot sized often, when involved in a hand. I think I recall that you 3/bet me every time I opened and I play a tight range. So I started 4/betting you light. You won't have much of a 4/bet sample on me though if you are going by HUD stats. So this might explain why you then started to stop 3/betting against me.

Hope to see you on the tables because I want to see if I can adjust and exploit your aggression to my advantage.

I've seen that you refuse to use a tracker and you use only a color coding system and the notes you have on your opponents.

What is your username on Pokerstars ?

I use Easy Poker HUD. It only shows the number of hands played, VIP / PFR and aggression factor. But I am able to quickly identify playing styles such as LAG preflop, passive post flop. Along with standard types such as TAG/LAG/Loose Passive. I have you noted as a TAG.

I have trouble reading a bunch of small numbers due to poor vision. Time for a new prescription for my glasses.

Because I have my real name registered on this forum I don't broadcast my Pstars account name to deter fraudsters/account hackers. But I can tell you that from the small number of hands I have played, you will have colour coded me as a NIT. I tend to cold call a lot with suited connectors and baby pairs. I never 3/bet them to balance my range for the simple reason the players at these stakes don't play a balanced game and will pay me off if I flop a monster. I always raise premium hands and while I would be exploitable if I played like that on a table full of decent players, at 2nl it's the right strategy. That is, playing a weak tight game. I can up my game and did so against you. 4/Betting light and 3/betting after you rained on me for a few orbits.

When a fairly well-respected coach was making judgements about players based on their avatars, and screen names I changed my avatar from the Mercedes emblem to a baby.
(it made no noticeable difference)

If other people were thinking I'm incompetent because of my avatar, then I'm happy with that.
(I am a fish, but they don't know that :coolface: )

I've since changed it again.

Other common ideas that may or may not be wrong:
:diamond:  Playing with less than a full stack == incompetent player
:diamond:  Big stack == good player

Any other strange ideas you can think of?

I think i will start a small challenge with myself and play 10 k hands in the next few days on NL2 and i'm thinking of streaming all 10k hands or record all the sessions and post them on Youtube. I will post here if i decide to stream.

After 10 days and 27 hours of play time i finished my 10 k hands challenge. :fouet:

I played kinda bad and didn't got the result that i wanted of 30bb/100.

But that's just because i was lazy and didn't focused 100%, I also played a few sessions watching Netflix and playing 3 small tables on the side.

I streamed a few sessions on Twitch here you can watch if you guys want the last session https://www.twitch.tv/PsychoPala

Here are the results and some stats :

Hi AgapieGheorghe,
The results might not have been as good as you wanted, but they're certainly good.

Well done!

One hand caught my eye. The villain was on tilt or is a maniac. You flopped an OESD while holding k 5 off. I think he limped into your BB. The effective stack was 100bb and the maniac c/bet 24bb and you snapped called him. Did you call thinking your rag King alone was likely beating the maniac?
