Here I think I did many mistakes. On the flop I though that he is betting the biggest part of his range so I x/c. The bad part is that there many turn cards that I can't continue to a second barrel. Maybe I have to bet the flop and continue barrel any scary card but I'm not sure. As played, on the turn I might be consider folding I think. After equilab analysis the range that call pre and double barrel here is strong, and again most cards on the river are bad for me. On the river after his bet I'm 100% lost. Still broken fold button

Haven't read everything, but have you been breaking even / losing for the past 6 months?

Yes. I started before 5 months this thread with 1300$ Bankroll, I did a withdrawal 200$, now I have around 1000$ so I'm losing 100$. This is bad I know..

Man, you really have to change some fundamentals of your game if you want to be a winning player. I mean, NL16 is soft.

'Current skill that I'm training: Discipline' - how exactly you train it? Just by writing the word there? If you had trained some sort of skill for last 6 months, you wouldn't be losing player.

Sorry if I'm a bit harsh, but you're going into dead end with this. If you're having fun, than it's ok I guess, but don't expect moving up.

I agree with you mate. I have to change many things for sure. nl16 is really soft.

I'm trying to train discipline it by making plans and follow them but am not very good in this.

Don't be sorry, I like to hear many opinions even if are harsh. Thank you for your comments, were really helpful.

Hi there my lovely thread. So much uncertainty last days in Greece about economics and eurozone.

Not so much mood to update the thread with results. Much anxious and real life problems. Despite all these I continue to chase my goal. I've played a huge number of hands so far this month, mostly grinding than bumhunting.

I'll be back soon with results and bankroll update. As I wrote before, this thread will close only when I achive my goal.
Giving up is not at my wordlist.

1-15/7/15 Update

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

Back with an update with results after 15 days.
Insane number of hands for 15 days (For my standards last months)
I did some strange things like 8 tabling zoom 9max




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


Good run at 235fpp storm sats so far, I won 8 of 20.
Also I won 45$ for finishing 59th at the VIP 30k saturday tournament

One hell of a grind mate! Imagine you're doing well VPPwise?

Just wondering,why are you reading "modern small stakes" at all?That book is beyond horrible

I collected around 2500vpps the first 15 days. With the volume I gave the first week platinum star was achivable lol. I think I will be a bumhunter the rest of the month. I have to move uuuup



Really? That's why I can't move up! haha. I think it helped me in many ways. Do you want to suggest me a book that you think is good for me?

The art of poker by Galvin Bay - (bmlm) part one and 2 is quite good IMO. pretty clearly defined 3betting/defending strategies and a lot more.

Thanks mate, I will check it

IMO I think reading "Applications of NLHE" by Janda would be good for you atm,I can think of many strategy books e.g. "Small stakes" by Ed miller,"Easy game" by Balugawhale but I don't think they would help much for players >5z

BTW,I don't think "modern small stakes" is a completely unuseful book,but definitely not suitable for anyone playing >2zoom

Thanks for your suggestions goktrenks

Good luck moving up, Derek

Thank you mate!
