Any tips on increasing the redline? do you just try and bomb flops and turns big to get folds?
Obviously it doesnt matter if my redline is decresing if im still making profit, could just be down to my slightly more passive postflop skills (even though leaktracker says im too agrro and to frequently)
i personally think focussing on redline is a bad approach to the game. play every spot as best as you can and all four lines will sort themselves out no problem. look at smbsmbsmb for example. guy's redline is tanking like crazy and still he s one of the biggest msnl crushers out there. just focus on hand reading, range reading and imo most importantly exploiting ur villains leaks and u ll be just fine

haha sup man. i lold so hard at the move you pulled there was originally gonna say ur sizing sucked but it was pretty good for what you wanted to do because the size you made it left almost no room for me to bluff over esp with no previous history. if that was ur std sizing tho thats definitely a leak.

i ve looked into ur thread and to me it looks like u do size many of ur bets too big esp in xbetpots

was fun playing with u tho. owned me pretty well a few times after too.

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

turns out i m a pretty massive mental game fish. my most recent 4 sessions all were played way below my Agame. i started adding a bunch of tables and played a ton of 9-12tabling sessions and autopilotted way too much. partly that tbl count increase was cuz of my recent great results and i just figured i know it all so i amp up volume and priint money. more subconciously but obv that s what i must have thought and thats also what caused my game to stagnate throughout most of last year's summer. i have been taking a few days off since i realized that and will resume my routine with tons of strat and short sessions and 6tabling reg tables until i get back in the swing of thigs. which by the looks of it will likely take me a decent bit because this is my last week in berlin for what looks to be a long time so there s lots of goodbyes to be said and tons of sht to be sorted out with contracts and rl bs and whatnot. then in amsterdam i ll deffo not be able to grind much since that also will mark the last semilong time i ll be spending with my gf for a decent while so i ll try and get sth like 1-2 hrs in on avg tdaily till i get my flight to malta on the 5th. then i ll go berserk again!

here s my year graph so far:

I was thinking my sizing was fine then I noticed you had made it 8bb not 10bb! I would have gone to 4.55$ instead of 5.55$ maybe ? Most likely, but I think you are definitely right about my sizing, I tend to go too big.. not always, but it's certainly a bad habit and I don't use leveraged smaller bets that often in my game yet. I'll work on ways to fix that and try to find the right situations to apply it. It was very fun playing with you, I didn't really know anything about your style but I saw some very laggy stats and was impressed with what you are able to achieve with them. Maybe we'll get to play together at 50NL too if I don't end up being a fish on a heater.

Yo blakk what do you think about a poker players time schedule, i mean do you think a poker player has to have a fix or flexible program when to grind?
I wake up everyday at 12PM and start searching for fishes, when the tables are not so profitable i tend to go out or watch a movie.. and late at night after 12AM the tables are filled with fishes, so I tend to stay up to 5-6 in the morning... So i would like to ask you, how to do you deal with these stuff? I mean how do you organise your time, by staying late or playing a 4 to 10 pm every day for example??!

no problem - just clowning - blakk, et al, are definitely a bit fishy, though; and I didn't want them to know you were after them. I post in here occasionally under a different signon, but am unable to use that atm. Good luck in any case.

i have the most messed up sleep schedule i ve had in a long time now but i dont do much grinding these days until i get to malta on the 5th. i m gonna be looking to get everything done around 12-2pm have breakfast before that and lunch at 2 pm maybe do some exercide then usually get down to business around 3-4pm and play a bunch of 1.5-2h sessions until around 2 am? maybe do some reviews before or after them then go to sleep around 3-4 am?

sth like that.

don't worry, blakk - you can piece it together although it is unimportant - read posts 488, 489, 491, and 492. That should clear it up.

checked it out and insta fell in love with that site. gonna signup when i m in malta as i m looking to do tons of painting when i m there. so many sweet little brown houses and views of the mediterranean

played my first session today since last weekend. pretty sad that i slacked so hard this week but i did promise myself to try and Agame only this month which i got waaaay off of last weekend so i took a break. played 2 tbls of 50nl zoom today and really enjoyd it. ppl are so much more aggro there but not in a very smart way it seemed to me. deffo see where urgnagtrpd's redline comes from when he plays zoom



strat then session i guess

Yup played some more 50NL as well and people are aggro in a weird way. Love to see that you're crushing. Also gonna have to note that ugnnagtrkd = you're gonna get raked. God I'm clever. Lol... Just fitted perfectly with my pic.
