hey there,
i'm living in bkk too @kiljusieppo
if you wanna meet i can live my line id/skype here(am i allowed? )
btw how many grinders in thai? it would be nice hang out
Kid - feel free to drop your skype on pm. will add you! Im not sure if Im going to live in BKK anymore next year though.
Actually Im in Finnland right now. I got to armed violent hold up by young immigrants in Finnland start of this year and my lawyer contacted me and told that my state pays my flights if I come to Finnland for the trial. I decided to took the freeroll to spend christmas with family and be here for one month. Not going in detail about the robbery but thats why Im here and Im actually happy enjoying the good things for a month and then being able to get away. On 9th Jan. I have flight to Singapre where I holiday a couple days and have booked one month in Philippines for grind but then probably heading to Thailand and settling down for a couple months. Ive concidered Chiang Mai, it might get boring there long term but think its worth trying a couple of months.
Grind is going well I moved down to nl100 and after putting my A-game volume in there Ive reached 4evbb/ over 200k hands. I also made a couching for profits deal (I get couched by a very succesfull mid-highstakes player) for next 1M hands wich will start in a couple of days - im not going in detail about it but Im pretty sure it will work out great!
Nope not him. I prefer to keep it to myself - atleast for now.
I've had a lot to think about lately but Im getting better with objective problem solving (writing up things with pros and cons on paper and seeing where it leads). Also having less problem with putting in volume. 40k hands so far this month. Its not huge but still much better than it used to be in the last couple of months.
Im very excited of 2017, summer is booked for Finnland, my brother has wedding and its the best time to be here, otherwise I will likely go Bali after 1 month in the Phillippines and then probably Thailand - likely Chiang Mai. Focus will be on grinding, exercising and enjoying the good stuff.
Ive been reading Trumps book "Think Big" lately and found it awesome. He is ofc. praising himself hell alot which is funny at times but it definitely gives a lot of perspective to things, positive vibes and encourages to trust yourself and work hard.
Month has gone realy well so far. I realized for me works definitely best an early schedule (waking up at 5am or 6am and finishing with the grind early as well). I will continue it in Asia as well.
I just sended some inquieries of appartmenst in CM if I get a good deal I might skip the Bali and do there sometime just for holiday. And yeah JJtheFish I let you know when Im there we can hangout for sure. It will likely be febr-apr.
I took a shot to nl200 this month run bad in terms of spots but coolered people quite a lot. Nl100 has gone great and Im pretty sure I will move completely to 200nl quite soon.
I also had my first session with my coach and it went really well. I felt like having a lot of ideas of how to do better and what to do maybe differently but no proof / confidence to do these things / make changes to my game on my own so it gave me alot of certainty after coach told me how these things are.
Well I wanted to post a graph but link doesnt work somehow.
I decided to shoot 200nl again when the pool was realy soft this morning, lost 1k in an hour also made some mistakes and want to evaluate hands.
1)
I thought its realy close if he jams but looking at this closer he needs to be jamming all of AKo/AKs to make it BE/call. This may end heavily losing if he mainly jams KK+.
Preflop: Hero is UTG with A K
Hero raises to $4.48, MP folds, CO raises to $20, BTN calls $20, 2 folds, Hero raises to $60.15, CO raises to $338.15 and is all-in, BTN folds, Hero calls $253.60 and is all-in
Flop: ($650.50) 4 4 8 (2 players, 2 are all-in) Turn: ($650.50) 3 (2 players, 2 are all-in) River: ($650.50) J (2 players, 2 are all-in)
Spoiler:

Final Board: 4 4 8 3 J
Hero showed A K and lost (-$313.75 net)
CO showed A A and won $647.75 ($334 net)
H2) Think this is fine 5b jam vs. reg. Kind of suprising snowie says his call with AKo in this spot with snowies ranges ends up being -12bb call or something.
Preflop: Hero is BTN with A 7
2 folds, CO raises to $4.50, Hero raises to $16, 2 folds, CO raises to $45, Hero raises to $228.42 and is all-in, CO calls $183.42

Final Board: 2 K Q 6 K
Hero showed A 7 and lost (-$228.42 net)
CO showed A K and won $457.09 ($228.67 net)
H4) As far as flop sizing is concerned (as the Sauce loves to say in his videos ) Its imo debatable and probably equally good whether we want to go 1/2p on 1/3p here.
River sucks for this hand but not neccessarily for my range cause my bluffs get there a lot. I think its a spot we should do alot of checking though so that we dont end up AK, AQ heavy with our checking range.
This is from yesterday vs. unknown guy. On the river I feel like he has AA, KK , JJ alot which is true. But considering our blockers and where we are at our range and changes are he starts bluffing AK and some suited connectors since turn. Snowie says river is a clear fold.
I think in generally Ive been running bad at 200nl a bit when Ive been taking the shots but also making borderline plays like the KJ and the AKs stack off considering action, position and stacksizes ends up being -EV and bad one very likely.
don't think anyone with enough clue jamming vs huge utg 4b would make calling AK here profitable, at least without history. under 120bb is w/e, sometimes you can fold but calling should be alright vs his JJ+. over 150BB is just rage fold..

Thats a huge generalization - especcially if they get indused they bluff a ton with way too wide on some spots. + There is bunch of spazzy regs who way overbluff everywhere etc. I rep somewhat capped weak range so changes are decent to get bluffed there imo.
But you just wanted to make a "smart post" so whatever.
Running bad at 200nl which ruined my results this month quite a bit but Im doing great nl100 so will keep putting in good volume and get myself rolled properly for the 200.
Goal is to put 5-6k hands in everyday this week then will have vacation for about two weeks. I will keep track of daily volume here this week. I play 4x100 2x50 quite alot.
Played 3k hands decided its enough for today - not runing very well nor playing my best much at all. 5th losing day in a row but can happen and looking at the bigger picture this would have been a great month without the 200nl shots and my income from nl100 is steady and good so nothing to worry about. Will get rest and tomorrow is a new day.
how do you get internet in Thailand?
is it free in the condo? or you use a prepaidstick?
most condods which have internet dont have realaiable conenctions. you can get your own private internet, which ive done, costs about $20 per month + i have mobile broad-banned as back up, stick costs about $30 and $12 per month
I failed with volume challenge dez. volume was close to 80k hands nl100 +4,6k total nl200 - 2,6k profits 1,6k.
Im now having vacation being in a cottage in Finnland with family. Will fly to Singapore on 9th and stay 3days if someone has vacation advice for singapore let me know. And 14th will get back to grind!
Happy new year and Gl to everyone thanks for the support Ive get to know great people during 2016 from here and can recommend opening blog for people who are considering it!

I had overall good time in Finnland and visiting Singapore was awesome. Huge parks, good food, helpfull and friendly people. Very unique city, expensive though. After getting to Phillippines I had to change appartment cause of internet and some other issues, this one is allright after multiple fixes though. Got sick about a week ago and it escaleted to heavy stomach flu and stuff so havent realy start grind properly. Ive been always really healthy so its quite tough now when getting sick so much lately but I have an idea of why it is so and Im making adjustments. Will get lab results today and hope to get back grinding on monday finally.
