January is over, and, meeeh, not happy at all with the final result.
Kinda sad because i think i can do better then that, and even if last 50k hands are a coolerfest, i didn't play at my best so im guilty as much as the cooler for the downswing, and i also failed in the monthly rake. Total grinding hr is like 200hrs, 16k rake or 87k vpp, instead of 100k vpp.




I will start coaching very soon. I hope it can give some serious help to my game cause i rly need it.
Anyway, stop whining on myself, and let's go back to grind.
Oh, and everytime that i started the year with a good january, the years went bad. So maybe it was intentional, maybe this year will be good lol lol.

Thx for the support guys.

Can't rly describe how redic bad im running today. Look like the downswing is not over yet.
But im ok with my play today, actually i think i played very good, or at lest good as you can play when playing top set is a nightamare on lolredic wet board, your avarage villain's preflop range is KK+, and when you have mid range everyone become isildur and start betting and raising like a playmoney table lol.
But that's the game, i guess i will survive another time.

judging from the way you whine, looks like L's coaching is beginning to bear fruit! ... even before your first lesson. his influence can be that strong.

Finally Supernova



4,5 days late, but better then nothing.

So, since i am on a sick downswing at 200 zoom, i deceided to wait for at least 2-3 coaching sessions before play it again (i should start yesterday, but something weird happened with internet connection so we had to reschedule).
So, since yesterday, im 20 tabling 100nl to rebuild a little bit of roll. Im very confident at 100nl, and most important, there is no "stress" grinding it, i don't feel the swing at all.
And i think im playing pretty well even 20 tabling. Im gonna post some result at 50k hands of 100nl (at more then 10k/day will not take long).

        Nah, or not yet at least, im still grinding 100nl and working on my game, I had my first coaching lessons some days ago, wich has been helpful in some part of my game, both theorical and mental game, and soon ill have the second lesson.

        Other then that, nothing really interesting is happening.

              Whats your your thought process of hand AJ?
              Vaccum it's a complete spew.

              Wich one?

              I guess the first one, wich is pretty much spew, but simply i cant find something that click 3b that flop that is strong enough to continue for the stack. I mean yeah he can have the nut flush ocasionally, but i guess a decent % of the time he's not gonna bet the flop, and another decent % of the time he's just gonna call that raise, there's no real history that can tell him that i could do something stupid against that click.
              He def don't have a weaker flush or a set or a 2pair, i dont think he will make that size.
              I guess some times he can play AdAx KdKx maybe QdQx like that, and im not 100% sure he's gonna fold those hands, prob no.
              Turn size is a fake "please shove".
              Also note that he dont know me, we have less then a K hands on each other, so i can just be some random donk that is trying to take value w his flush in a weird way (in fact, i am a random donk that is trying to represent another random donk who is trying to take value from his flush), wich is the most important factor in this hand. Im not doing this **** vs someone with decent sample size on me.
              And yes it's a big spew with a weird tp, i give you that


              The second one it was like the 3d time i raise his cbet in a few hands, he folded twice, this time i expect him to react, but i think he would just call most of his FD that deep, and once i call his 3b and the flush hit, he's probably not going to bet/shove w all the set, so his range is air heavy, so i called.

                  100nl is going in a decent way, i made 100k hands from 4 feb till today, won a few bys, and most important im keep trying to work on my game.



                  In the last days i decided to focus more on play well regardless the rake, so if i have the feeling that im doing stupid things, or simply im tired and not playing well, i quit the session.
                  SNE its important, but it's def more important to improve my winrate.
                  1.2bb/100 16-20 tabling is okish i guess, but still meh, i feel like i can do a lot better, espec by stop doing stupid things with no read and no good reason, or with the only reason that i dont want to fold the spot (AJ hand for ex lol).

                  On a positive note my lostrate from the BB improved significantly in this last 100k hands, i worked on it and im happy that something is working in the right way.

                  So, the road to be back being a winning player (because that's what im doing actually, im loosing/be from a looong time, that's not run, that's me), is still long, but i hope to be on the right way.

                  Here i am with february updates.




                  So, still not very good, but better then january. Im back to 200nl, and it went very well with a 20 bys up in 25k hands.
                  But most importantly i think im doing a very good work on my game; Coaching helped a lot, watching a ton of videos helped a lot, and now im ready for march.

                          And this is vs the same guy, if he broke pre 95o, no way is folding this flop w A high, any pair or guthost or maybe even worse.

                            Time for a small update, an happy one.
                            This is the graph of the last 145k hands, pretty much after the first coaching session.
                            Its 100nl till hand 60kish, then 200nl.



                            Its nice too see that the hard work i made on my game is now paying me back
