Also, I think for motivational reasons, I'm gonna think about what I'd actually want to do with all the money I'm aiming to win. Like Bigniux wants a new car... Not really sure what I would wanna spend it on more then traveling though

Do you think on some "long term investment" or just enjoying life by speding money for things which make sense?

Did you thinked already to settle down somewhere? Because than you could try to think to get a nice flat somewhere and try to make a plan for it. I know in Sweden its not so easy to get a property, but maybe in some other country?

Or, if you dont want to look too forward, just imagine, that you are a young girl with a lots of talent, and have the possibility to get such a nice ammount of money, for what others...has to go down to dog...if you know what i mean

i would definetly consider for example to play more live events, if you enjoyed it on the PCA - and than you can connect travelling with "work" also, got to know a lot of people.

Btw, you come to Vienna this weekend?

vonkis gonna vonkkk

Hey girl!

Interesting post! I'm actually not really the settle down kind of person. I love traveling way to much and I want to enjoy life whilst being able to, thus before settling down I don't have a plan for the upcoming years, I know the chances of me changing my mind not once or twice but even more is quite big ♦

I did spend alot of time thinking about live-events, but hmm. I'm not so sure. I mean tournaments in general is just very timeconsuming and huge in variance. As fun as it is... meeeh. I'd need some nice company! I will def try to quilify for more ladies events, but it sadly doesn't bring me any motivation. Like, it's not a dream anymore. I lived it not once but twice already, it has become a part of my "normal" environment already in a way ^^

Live cash games is def in the picture though! I find it way more fun then live tourneys!

I wish I was going to Vienna this weekend. Sadly my life is v v busy atm and I'm kind of saving all my moneys for my brazil thing. I'll try to come for a visit before I leave to brazil though! Would be awesome to finally meet you and obv meet all the crazy austrians again

How did your live event go? You were playing a few weeks ago or something right?

Grrrr. I was posting an update and when I wanted to post it I got an error by PS... GRRRRRR!

So here we go again... I promised an update. Here it is.

First things first, the graph...

As things are now, I am a slight winner on NL25. With my NL50 shot, I am slightly down so far. With rakeback, slightly up.

Could say as a side-note it kind of pisses me off to be breakeven I'm tired of it! It just sucks. So it's time to work even harder now. Maybe not in terms of volume, but def in terms of play. And learning.

I also had a coaching today which I really enjoyed. I really enjoy having pleno as a coach, he has a way of making me realize I play badly without making me feel like a bad player. With my other coaches, I sometimes ended the coachingsession doubting myself. We all know selfdoubt is no key to success with pleno I am rather self-critical which on the other hand is key to success!

So I'm really happy with that. We (or rather, he) found some stuff that could really improve my winrate. I won't let you in on any details, but in short; failing to extract enough value.

So that is the main thing I am going to work on this week!

great to hear you are so excited. i mean with patrick´s guidance, you can easily beat nl100, but he will help you most from nl200+ later on as he helped me in January so work on it, it will pay off

btw what is that slope around 9k hands? ♦

vonkis gonna vonkkkkk..

I enjoy working with Vonks. She knows atm it is a -ev deal for me and I wouldn't take it if I didnt have full faith that she could crush 100nl+.

gl this week.

<33

So yesterday pleno asked me if I had considered switching to SH. Ofc I had, when I play FR I am still not in my comfortzone there. We decided that this week I'm gonna play some SH rush and that we'll take a look next week in our coaching how it s been going.

Yesterday I played a testrun on NL10 SH and won 2 BI's, felt like I could def crush NL10 SH rush. So today I woke up all excited and decided to play an early session. I've played ~900 hands, my redline is BE and I'm 3 BI under EV. So... I'm getting the feeling it IS very swingy, but I do feel I have the discipline to deal with the swings and that I'll def keep playing.

I just feels so fucking great to be back in my comfortzone, to be confident with my game and what not. It's a awesome feeling and even if it doesn't work out in the end at least I'm enjoying the confidence while I can. ♦

Yeah, just switch to SH. No need to reg infest us FR nits...

GL!

Very nice, it´s such a Wow! when things start working isn´t it?

I thought you could only bet for value or as a bluff. Next time I see you I will try to remember to bet for chat.

Well, it's kinda like betting for value. You bet to induce a call, a raise or some chat from your opponent.

lol, jbpatzer, i learned to bet for chat from you!

Oh I did see you purplefizz, but not until the hand was over. ♦ I normally pay 0 attention to the chat so I wouldn't reply even if you spammed it lol you've got a nice purple mark now though or is it pink? I can't remeber.

Perhaps a sweat any time this week/end ? Any of you chat-betters will do. Oh and I really miss a giggling smiley on here.

Forget about chat-betting.... time-chatting is the new thing

Artisss: Vonki are you from ps.com?
vonki: yes
Artisss: cool
Dealer: Artisss has 15 seconds left to act
Artisss: read your blog a while ago
