I'm tired of doing useless stuff and then look back and realize I haven't moved towards my goals the slightest bit.This challenge will end on July 31st.I uninstalled every single useless program on my pc and blocked every single website that I think it makes me waste time my on(e.g.Facebook).I'm already seeing the benefits

Goals:

-100 played hrs per month
-50 study hours per month

Study will count as doing analysis on CREV,talking about HHs,watching videos and doing analysis on my own

ATM I'm playing a mix of 10z/16z/25z

These are my lifetime results per stake at 5nl+



Graph in $ for lifetime results



I'll start playing 16z and perhaps mixed w/some 25z or 25nl reg.

glglglgl

In. Lifetime $ graph is kinda gross.

You've got my skype if you want any specific help with spots.

GLGL.
Go crush!

Thanks,I will!

ty guys


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Forgot to mention on my OP that reading books count as study.I won't be posting pics from lol 2-3k hand samples itt and say "had I nice day" because I find it annoying.Instead I'll post HHs,because I think that's much more entertaining and interesting.I open to suggestions if someone has a better idea on how to post HH.Also I won't be posting too often because it takes too much effort and I'd rather be working on my game or something like that.

BTW please feel free to comment on hands,criticize/berate me


@Sizing tells,thin value




Vs reg



I guess turn we want to be donking w/ a pretty polarized range for a big sizing,this hand w/ cool blockers and equity when called makes sense to donk with.Thoughts?



I was going to xc turn but then I saw that sizing.I doubt villain is floating turn for this sizing w/ underpairs,he's not calling flop w/ one card BDFD like AsQx.76ss turned a pair,so It's prob not floating for this sizing,so he only has AQss,T9ss,98ss as bluffs,and he can def be doing this w/ Jx.Thoughts?






Played hours:4.9/100
Study hours:1/50

Will watch valuebluffing3 right now

lololololol today was fun.

Finally hit 1k BR,1013$ atm *** yeah *** yeah

Some HHs:

I assumed BTN is a fish because of turn minraise,as played I guess It's always 66?I'm as the top of my range but I don't think guys are bluffing enough here,Turn was 3w so I don't think he's spazz raising wide,only T9s/98s make sense,I doubt he's bluffing river enough for close to a PSB.Thoughts?




River looked like a blocker bet from Ax,I wanted to get some thin value vs the fish,I guess It's a snap fold vs a raise,he's not vbetting Ax here ever.Thoughts?



Still had this awesome hand vs reg.I won a big pot vs him and I started trolling him in every opportunity I had till he got mad.Confirmed EV++ to try to tilt regs.(If happen to read this no offense taken and don't get offended,I was joking lol)

Month so far





Finished vbluffing 3,I'm practising making good explofolds atm,I'm posting a bit and analysing my own hands.Next todo is watch vbluffing 4.


Played hours:23.5/100
Study hours:15/50

(I'm guessing study hours,I'm not tracking it.I think I studied 25hrs+ but will only account the amount of time I'm 100% sure I studied)

Might update for the month or might not,I'm lazy about updates.Will set goals for next month:

Played hours per week:0/25
Study hours per week :0/12

I'll be mega happy if I achieve those.I'll be mostly 2tabling 25z

Here's a lel hand vs solid reg,river seems like he has an obvious sizing tell,it doesn't make sense for him to vbet like 88 for that sizing,I block A4,he prob 3b 99 pre and I doubt most guys have K4o pre,only K4s,Q4s but not J4s

Forgot to say,

gogo

I also will set the goal to go to sleep at 10pm or earlier,that allows me 8hrs of sleep.I feel really bad when I don't sleep enough and much less inclined to sit down and grind.

Days I slept 8hrs or more: 0/7

Week 1

Study:5h10min/12
Play:10h/25
Meditate 10 mins min:4day/7

Ended up better than I expected,I'm not really disappointed by not having reached my goals this week,I'm sure I'll get it next week.Went out with friends on Sat and lol,that one was remarkable,really enjoyed it.That motivated me to stick to my poker goals.I guess one of the ways to not get a burnout phase is to really enjoy your time off poker,I did it this week and I'm happy with that.
Results wise I'm below EV a bunch so might mix in some 16z tables bc BR got a hit.I haven't put THAT many study hours this week but I feel I learned so much w/ less study hours.+1 for setting goals for a session and letting a notepad file with them open while playing,I feel It's really helping me atm

vamo krl sulidu

Week 2

Study:6h45min/12
Play:12h20min/25
Meditate 10 mins min:0/7

Better than previous week,I'm happy with that.Playing 16z only atm,will mix in 25z when BR allows me to do so.Will set smaller goals this week because It seems I was too far of hitting my goals on previous weeks.I'll gradually increase them as I manage to complete them sucessfully.


Week 3

Study:0h/10h
Play:0h/15h
Meditate 10 mins min:0/7

glglglglglgl

QQ hand seems like It's impossible for him to bluff river,unless he open/4b T9s or something like that

KQo felt gross,seems like a mega big fold,but I guess he has a lot of 88/99/KQ/AK,but if that's true then he easily will have AQ/JTs/QJs to bluff turn with.I'm not sure,would really appreciate some feedback on this one

Week 3
Study:7h52min/12
Play:6h51min/15
Meditate 10 mins min:1/7

lol felt funny.Still on the 16z games.Haven't checked my BR in a while,might be already busto or very close to it

Started week 4 pretty well already,I'm ahead of pace atm
Goals will be the same,only thing is I'm going to achieve them no matter what

Week 4

Study:0h/12h
Play:0h/15

Week 4

Week 5

Study:0h/12h
Play:0h/15

Same goals for this week,let's rock it!

Week 5

Study:5h10min/12
Play:7h56min/15

Meditate 10 mins min:1/7

Started off so well,felt very demotivated after a while.This week(week 6) I had a lot of tests,I decreased my goals so they could be achievable.


Week 6

Play:4h05min/8

Meditate 10 mins min:0/7


Let's go!

Week 7

Study:1h0min/12

Week 8,Day 3

Study:4h35min/12
Play:5h15min/10


Meditate 10 mins min:2/7


Had some fun hands and some that got me puzzled,feel free to berate me



I thought JT would always probe turn,the only hands that made sense that would take a river xr would be Q9s/Q8s,but I thought he prob wouldn't have those 100% pre,and thought there were quite a lot of weak 1p/A6-A7 hands that made sense to xr bluff river,ended up being right this time



Vs reg,profitable river bluff haha

(before someone points out,not my default to use KQ as a 4bet bluff pre on this spot)



I guess river is fine?Seems like a clear vbet otr,would like if someone confirmed that



Meh hand,I guess no one really turns something like QJ into a xr otr?I thought he couldn't be turning PPs into a bluff,I don't think he has 77 pre,so only PPs would be JJ,TT



This one felt tight af,I assume the worst value raise he has otr is Kx,but I can't see what the heck he bluffraises river for that sizing.


wut wut wut

Week 8,Day 4

Study:4h35min/12
Play:5h15min/10

Didn't play yesterday,will play today.

Week 8

Play:9h40min/12


Meditate 10 mins min:3/7


Didn't update for a couple days,will try to not repeat it in the future.Had a great motivational boost by the end of the week,mainly because of my family's "acceptance" of poker as a side job for me,it was something they didn't approve in the past,but now I'm actually even getting some support,mostly om my mom,I was very impressed lol I never expected that to happen,I'm very happy and thankful for it.





Week 9

I'm going to week 9 very motivated,so I increased my goals.5hrs/day,5 days a week.I can do it.

Leeeeeeeeeeeets go

Week 9,Day 1

Study:2h15min/10
Play:1h50min/15


Meditate 10 mins min:1/5

Played some,reviewed a lot of hands on CREV.Will play some more today.
These hands got me puzzled:



idk what's the big idea with the turn 3bet,I thought 2pair+ would be snap raising vs my cbet sizing,so turn 3bet only reps 99 and sometimes T9s(which I don't think he's 3betting turn at 100%)
Thoughts?





Villain looked fishy,I guess on the river It's gonna be a random Qx that randomly cbets and sometimes KQ/KK,and I'm priced in to call.Thoughts?

Week 9

Play:3h50min/15


Meditate 10 mins min:1/5


lol.Had my bday this week,barely played at all.I'll focus for the next week,let's see if I can hit the goals I set here at least once.BTW,my family support towards poker increased even more,I'm so surprised.I won't let them down!

Meditate 10 mins min:0/5

Bet ott all day everyday there, you're missing value from Ah and stubborn AJ. I probably wouldn't be calling pre either tbh. As played I'm probably calling his goofy raise otr since I can't see what takes that line for value other than possibly 99 which is unlikely.

If you wanna talk over hands etc PM me your Skype. I've been looking for someone to talk hands with since I started playing again after a year out of the game. I beat the stakes you're playing quite comfortably.
