Well he did a video series with Balbomb playing 100 and maybe 200nl on the Merge Network.

i do agree mostly with the above. while i do think i am capable of finding and plugging leaks of many players that are struggling (its mainly because of basic leaks in terms of range building and overall gameplan) i think its more likely that my advice will be helpful to players playing stakes below my current stake (100nl). i have played andd crushed all stakes up to and including 50nl and i have experience i feel i am capable of sharing in a way that is beneficial to players struggling at those stakes. but i dont think i am (yet) qualified and established enough at 100nl to say the same.

however again i dont see how i ve given you (burnss) any reason to be so disrespectful ITT. thanks for the feedback but no reason to cll anything a joke without having anything that backs up your opinion. tyvm have a nice day

i m not sure what the point is u re making here as i think anybody who stays at uNL for this long does sth massively wrong. not tto disrespect teh guy but it reminds me of some guy who made a book about how he crushed microstakes for 5million hands. why on earth would u even think of that as an achievement?

Pretty narrow minded to view someone who grinds a steady profit out at the micros over a long time as doing it massively wrong without knowing the full picture.

obv if he s happy doing it that way then all the power to him but i m pretty sure that he pretty much tried to move up at various points, didnt stick and decided to say fk it i mma mass grind uNL and keep making EY money. i think and approach like this (IF this was his sole source of income over that timeframe) shows numerous character and mental game flaws. imo.

Your heart seems to be in the right place most of the time(imo), blakk, especially for someone who is still pretty young, so don't worry about the criticism. Keep it up! Gl! When living in Malta, how does one go on holiday? Aren't you mostly on holiday the whole time? :-)

Heya, thanks man

Wasn't worried much rly. More like curious
Umm well I m on a one week holiday cuz my gf is here to visit so I ll just not grind and instead explore Malta, maybe rent a car and drive around, watch some sunsets, check out some beaches clubs and other sights, that kinda thing
Next Tuesday she ll fly back and I ll go back on a 40hr weekly grind routine until June. When I work I work without holidays

How about a garf of your last 100k hands or so. Too many posts for me to read thru to see how youve been doing lately

The reason MDoranD is still playing 50NL is that he has a wife and kids and can't take the drop in hourly/risk to bankroll to try and beat higher stakes. Whether we agree with this is a different point entirely.

On phone now will post graph later. Yea I think I ll switch back to the pic. Kinda prefer that too.

As for mdorrand I actually wasn't talking specifically about him as I hadn't heard about him rly. I still think that if one makes poker their main income stream but then goes on to not take shots at games that can give him financial security there s little I can come up with that would justify that. Not like he won't have a roll for 50nl even of a shot fails but this way one day he ll end up puking big time cuz games will get so tough 50nl won't support his family much. IMO

Thx guys. And yea I know I ve been slacking volume in cash but the reason is fairly obv. I ve played almost 100k hands in donkaments as well since I got here so from march 5th till now I ve played about 10k hands at 50nl 25k hands of 100nl an 100k hands of MTTs. That's not too bad IMO and I will most definitely amp up the cash volume next week!
