Tallinn is an awesome place in the summer imo. Been there three times this year, once by sailboat and two by cruising ship. It's probably a bit different for me though as I'm used to cold climates but I wouldn't at all mind living there for a while.

So nothing but good for me so far

5-8 tables and I guess around 5hours.

was a vip 4 years ago when i was playing 50nl. I had so many issues with them i had to use a family member's name and make myself a new one a few years ago.. Mohamed wasn't helpful. You were lucky i have heard a bunch of other horror stories from friends

Interesting - I went to Tallinn last summer during the heat wave. Thick cloudy skies but 30 degrees+ the entire week, humidity was on another level. And virtually nowhere had air con. Lovely city and I'd go again but I can't even think about the place without starting to sweat.

Sorry for being unclear, I was referring to the winters there and how they wouldn't bother me as I'm used to Finland.

Wasn't debating or anything, I believe you 100% lol, just found it interesting that my memory of the place was a sticky sweaty sauna when in fact it's a pretty cool city normally

Awesome thread Giev, thanks for doing this.

I was wondering, how do you balance bankroll and savings, like what % of you net worth do you consider bankroll?

What exactly did you start doing when your non SD winnings increased?

I play 50nl and 100nl with decent success but my redline is always awful, I have spent hours trying to workout why. I 3bet a lot IP, dont cbet too much, lead a lot of flops with backdoor equity, c/r with a decent frequency etc but still my redline is always really negative. I'm happy as long a I make money but it seems like this style could be stopping me moving up.

Awesome thread, congrats on the success, you seem like a really cool, humble guy.

Also overbetting bluffs and valuehands makes you lesslikely to go showdown and increase the red line. Most of the time when barreling you should go either one or three streets and not bet flop bet turn and fold river.

Again depends what kind of game you are playing imo. My turn cbet is around 57%

It just seems that you must be doing some crazy ass stuff to have such a + redline, I wouldn't say I'm a nit at all and mine is horrible like I said.
