I've read the first 3 chapters of TMGoP...Very good stuff...

Been watching videos like crazy...

went back on the tables a bit today..couple of hours...Ran horribly but at least I think that except in one occasion I've taken all the right decisions. Broke even in the session.

I'm still -10 bb/100 over a sample of 19K hands but I guess it can be fixed....hopefully.

Off to work now where I will be studying more videos instead of working :P

3 days off ahead...FR tables and MTTs ahead wohooooo

I'm still spending more time reading and watching great videos (thanks Dovidiu for the great tips) and also actually working than playing, but approach to the game seems to have slightly changed, thinking more about what I'm doing, when to bet,3bet etc.

Slowly climbing back up (hopefully)

This deserves a hottie pic...

Even though just light because things aren't going great yet!

Try and invest in some video training site as well.

You need to stop playing before you get a solid fundamental game -saying this based on what you've been posting lately. Gl.

So after the date of this suggestion, which I in part followed ( I did not get any paid coaching just yet, did not move down level, but done mostly the rest) this is what has happened

Life is good

Bring on August!! (although boss scheduled me for a **** loads of shifts!!!)

Here's the first 2K hands and so of the month...Not a bad start at all

I don't know how much volume I'll be able to put in these coming days as I have a 5 days straight at work, 1 day off and another 4 days. Will try play as much as possible when I'm awake as I wanna reach gold star and move up level by the end of this month.

Whilst at work I'll be studying and watching videos...

Whilst I sleep I'm usually dreaming of poker hands so yeah

Good luck on tables.

Laterz all.

Sick heater gg.

Now that you got to breakeven point, try and not be attached to past results so you only focus on game quality.

As predicted, Haven't managed to put in any volume at all, less than 1K hands in the past 5 days, where I profited around 3$ due to real work time schedule.

I haz a day off tomorrow though, gonna grind the **** out of it...Although I feel like registering to few MTTs too...can't wait!!!

Managed to put in some volume at night...some sick hands but ended up with 5BI profit so cant complain.. My wage came in and I boosted my BR so technically I could move up in but I'm gonna put in some more volume at NL10 just to get more comfy...

Here's how August is looking after 6.7K hands

And here my NL10 :

And now some Melissa Satta for you

Meh..Played another 5K hands since last post...ran horrible and spewed a bit here and there due to bad run tilt

I guess variance had to even out...Still at 6.16/100 so I guess it makes sense..

Here's how August is so far...

Some ladies for run good luck

Trying to be disciplined in this now nearly 5K hands downsing.

So the trick is to minimize losses right? I mean when you miss every single flop, running into huge whales AA holding KK (several times in a row), getting 5 bet push by fish 77 vs QQ and lose. Just breathe in breathe out and know you're doing it right just running bad. Is that it?

Actually 6K hands for a loss of 8 BI and I feel it could have been more (and also less at the same time)

5.66/100 over 13K hands though, I hope it's just variance balancing out ...Feels awful again

Nevermind...PLayed 1K hands after refreshing my mind with some videos at work during my night shift and got 5BI profit...levelled out dat shiz

13K hands into the month (slightly more than 1/5 of the monthly target, which I doubt I'll reach) for a 122$ profit 9.19/100.

Must have been the titties up here above which brought luck. (will upload more in another instance)

Cheesy song for da situation

It's 4.30am here. I just finished my 11 hours shift, in which I watched 2 movies and few episodes of different series (if you're into Sci-Fi I suggest Extant) and I am now facing a full 3.5 days off...

Gonna go out for dinner this evening with my lady for my belated 32nd birthday celebration and for the rest.....Well grinding galore

FR and few MTTs.

Will update with (hopefully nice) graphs

Excited
