The afternoon session turned out for the better but still overall underpar for the day with W$@SD still under 50.

Total for day = -209$ after 3130 hands, 21.6k VPP/100k to supernova, at this rate I should reach SN within a couple of months.

Hi TerrorBlade,

I'm sure you'll do it ;)


Haven't seen you on skype in days, still planning to do sweat sessions today?

Keen for anytime in the next 5 hours.

After checking up on Yoghi's progress, he's at 50/100 HU right now (fuck.) I'm going to make a definite effort to give HU a decent go and maybe if any other 6-max players want to teach me I'd be a willing student ;)

This morning's session started really well, then an unknown sat down at one of my tables, spewed hugely in the first hand then 2 outered me set over set capped flop capped turn then bam river card so capped river cause I know that he massively overplays his hands.

The thing is I'm still up even after this crap, and how much I will be winning when the roles are reversed and variance balances out will be awesome!

BR = 5375

FPPs = 62,051

Yearly VPPs = 23904

Place in April Top 250 overall/en = TBA/TBA

^I'm hoping for a decent placing in overall and top 3 in english this month.

I showed up 30 seconds after cornholio's FL advanced coaching finished ;(

However I played some 3/6 while people from the coaching watched for fun and found I play a lot better voicing my thoughts out loud. This was sort of an unofficial 3 hour 3/6 SH coaching which was pretty fun until near the end where I kinda got sick of talking ;)

Ended up +2-300$ overall but +600 in 3/6 and down 300 in 5/T cause I played 1 table of it chasing this EPIC fish who constantly 3 barreled 8 high against everyone and 3-bet super super light (63o+) pf, but my A high / low pairs were never enough when I played against him.

No more shots even if there are megafish cause I want a good solid BR before doing the 5/T thing again.

Lunch time, new session afterwards.

I strongly agree, there's at least a turn raise here, this was later in the session where I decided to call it quits.

Today was pretty damn sweet tbh, although I didn't put in max volume due to catching up with an old friend for a few hours. 2750 hands and ~$800+ today for some nice upswingaments which is pretty sick and added to yesterday brings my BR up to around 6800.

I plan to keep grinding 3/6 until I'm not sure when or what bankroll is advisable. I guess I should wait for 8k at least so I can handle some variance and not be crippled. For the next several months I don't have to be ultra conservative but I need to have a solid hopefully 2000BB BR for 5/T if I want to be properly secure when I'm out on my own next year.

Probably going out of town tomorrow for easter with the GF, be back in a couple of days, gl hf guys.


More than 20% of your bankroll in 2 two days is awesome. Happy to see you win.


[x] interesting blog :).

Alright I'm definitely going out of town today, Rotorua for those NZers out there =) Will be back tomorrow night (it's 8:30am here).

Looking at april rankings, I need to start putting in a solid 3500+ hands per day to compete for a decent ranking in the overall, also 5/T VPP increase will raise my SP rate by 50%. Because I'm a FL player I should be able to out-rank everyone but opal, who's 5/Tenning it hard and is unstoppable =)

Opal is unstoppable because he plays on Mansion :)
With "VPP increase" I presume you play on PokerStars.

StrategyPoints:
Mansion >> Stars

Volume of tables/players Stars >>>>>> Ipoker, I don't mind that he's unstoppable I'm cheering him on as a fellow FL player ;)

Before I can even begin to get that many SP's I need to get to 5/T.

After getting back from my holiday, yesterdays session was pretty sick/bad ;) Ended down around 100BB to counteract the sick up day before the trip.

I'll update my BR status after my afternoon session is over

Edit:

Sick session this morning/afternoon.

+120BB, cancelling out yesterdays performance god this game is damn swingy

My hard drive that has all my poker videos on it isn't working ATM so I'm going to try fix it and watch some while eating lunch and hopefully learn some good stuff.

BR = $6854

FPPs = 79.4k

VPPs= 30,880/100k for supernova

Lifetime 3/6 = +4885$, 36,570 hands, +2.25BB/100

Rankings = 230/250, English = 5 (:()

Evening session of 1200 hands ended up 7 BB, w00t.

Btw vote for my blog to be on raisydaisy cause I'm that awesome.
