Tilt can have a lot of reasons and it`s really hard to diminish the effects in a short period of time. I suggest focusing on eating healthy/balanced and exercising on a daily basis for at least 40 minutes and make them number 1 priority.

I started reading "With Winning in Mind" by Lanny Bassham and I`m reall happy about how this book is structured, easy to read and goes right to the point.

I also look around Elliot Roe`s site and watched the videos focusing on volume
http://www.pokermindcoach.com/mini-class/. I also bought the MP3s focusing on the warmup and cooldown session which I found really usefull.

Some things I changed at the tables:
- Disabled pictures and sounds.
- Put on some music like this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB_PZSnen5A which helped me deal with the concious-emotional side of the game and focus more on the EV part of the game.

I have the same problem with tilt which kept me at the same level for many years now.Tilt really has a lot of reasons and takes a lot of time to progressivelly remove each of them, which will also improve the overall life-quality not only the quality of the game.

Best of luck improving and overcoming the obstacles !

For me it'd be an absolute MUST to work on your preflop & flop aggression here, there's no need to have a freefalling redline in 2016. It just looks as though you fold to any aggression if you don't have a made hand?

More 3bets pre
more flop/turn aggr

Get the redline up a bit and the green line will surely follow!

Unlucky month dude
My advice would be to take a few days off from all poker related things and come back feeling fresh.
Analyse your game for a couple days honestly from big pots all the way down to 20bbs pot
And try plug a few leaks we all have them
Gl next month

Also how did you get pt4 to track your VPPs?
I'm guessing it's a file you downloaded?
If you would t mind sharing
PEACE

I am pretty sure his redline is a result of being too loose post flop with weak ranges and having to fold too much.

Bad red line could be a result of loads of different things..

Giving up in small pots, not bluffing enough, to wide preflop, too passive post and pre or just folding when someone bets into you. It could also be run bad but your blue line doesn't seem to indicate that you ran really horribly.

I get really confused lol, because ppl say regs don't bluff at 50z and then other ppl say that 50z is more aggressive and you get more people that follow through with their bluffs instead of giving up.

lmfaaaaaaaaaaaaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

+10bi blueline in 55k hands with a losing redline is not an indication of runbad?


100% sure that eaziimoniez and the other redline hater are regs that 4bet to 33bb and hit sets everytime

his red line is actually at -10bb/100 which is fine.
The blue line is so horrendous, that the graph gets skewed.

If you go to the PT4 website there is a stars VPP thing you can download. Then you can supposedly set your rakeback amount. TBH im not sure if this is right I dont take any notice of it.

My WWSF is on high side but still in normal territory. Yes I agree I get to aggro sometimes and bluff too much multiway.

Great post. Thanks mate. I do try and get into cool mindframe and relax. Ill check this stuff out.

Hey, when i tilt my redline goes to ****, hence the graph. If i filter last 25k hands where im winning, then redline is still losing but at normal rate for 50.

TU mate. Yeah i took time off. Im playing well now just running 14BI below EV. SO EV wise im winning back losses just green line is still crap.

Bad red line for me = TILT

Depends on the reg. Most dont bluff enough and they just value bet.

LOL - at 50z its very hard to have breakeven redline. Im yet to see it

Its all terrible tbh. My redline is bad compared to last month, and obv blue

Update:

Running a new HUD now. I spent hours yesterday on it. Its pretty cool.

Played well in this mornings session. Again, under EV....I cant win AIPF. Today was KK vs 99.....Oh well, grinding away

Im having my DB reviewed by remco, so im keen to see what he says

red line pron

hey is pakastin999 for real or is my 1k sample nonsense?

I have him 3betting 25% and i have called most of his 3bets he will bet/call flops with Ace high and K high oop and in position. Multiway with AK he will just bet big/shove turn on low boards

hes a good guy, also in skype group with him. Solid player but can tilt like me i think and do crazy stuff...plus he never sees the sun

So month over, happy with the last half. Played well. Won back nearly 20BI in EV. Looking forward to a fresh month and maybe a 100z shot again when i feel good and mentally ready.

Month:

hey man new month new goals....i'm sure you will rise to the top this month gl and crush skulls

GL in October

Always nice to start a new month if the current one was a losing one GL max, I'm sure you'll be doing fine!

As for the hands, if playing a-game I think we could fold the first one vs some opponents at 50z as it's deep+positions+board which just doesn't get bluffed enough.

Not sure about folding the 2nd one tho. Choosing small flop sizing when deep will prob induce some lighter floats as well, so I think calling vs some good/aggro regs would be fine.

Need more info on villain to judge KK call imo

Iirc from my hud you're too tight preflop and need to fold more postflop... Playing a wider range postflop will help you improve your postflop game and your stats aren't viable at 6M z50+ imo, hence why you might be struggling... Your stats look like you're playing fr, did you come to 6M from FR ? If so you need to adjust your range tbh

wtf Qx is pretty much a brick? it seems like a disaster to ever value bet one street and xf the next when not much has changed so either reevaluate turn or don't fold river

Really?

yeah if villain is folding QJo pre we now lose to 2 combos of QJs and maybe some Q7s or Q8dd/ss

Fyp

thanks guys

with kk hand i think it's a call. villain is capable of bluffing and sets or 109s would raise flop or turn.

in regards to stats mate i think something is wrong with your hud cos i play 24/18 approx 7.2% 3b. which imo is optimal at these stakes. i could be wrong....

Ok yeah looks fine, I had u at smthg like 19/16/5 on my hud on a very decent sample iirc but it might be cuz u didn't want to battle me ahah

Gl

What is your SN?

Over 142k hands at 50z i am 23.09/18.21 and 7.01 3b.....sometimes small samples are funny

Ok so the other goal i didnt write down was my aim to post an update here everytime i play a session. Looking back at this blog now, its been nearly 1yr and i have improved a bunch so its kinda inspiring. Imm looking forward to reading these post in like 1-2 yrs when (hopefully) im playing higher.

I wouldn't 3bet jacks vs UTG, especially oop, otherwise your creating a ****ty spot from the start. Fold flop imo, you are either dead or basically flipping against a big draw. Just get out of there.

3betting from SB std, dont lile the cbet
