Always a few dummies on 888. If you can get decent volume on there it's a goldmine.

Yeap. I'll try to play more there, this month.

5/3/15 Update

One big session at Pokerstars nl10 6max. I could have played better.



Also I played one storm fpp sat and lost it.

Later I decided to do one 9max session. Yesterday I went out for a coffee and poker conversation with a player who is playing nl100 and the conversation was very usefull. So I went just for a walk to full ring games.



And back home again for another session

hey derek, you are doing good job so far. your commitment to what you are doing inspires me somehow to put more effort in my goals too. ( doing the same challenge as you, started at nl5 and now i'm at nl10 and probably seen you at the tables few days back).

gl with challenge and see you at the tables!

gl derek!

Derek how do you feel chronicling your results in this thread affects your performance? Do you think about it while you play?

Hello man! Thank you for your kind words! I'm very happy to hearing that my challenge is inspiring for other people
Good luck to your goals too and probably we will meet again



Ty man!




Hey mate. That's a good question. The truth is that the first time I decided to write my results in public view, I was a little nervous. The first time was at another forum with players from my country only. Sometimes it was hard for me to write my results when I had a very bad session or a big loosing streak. For example, sometimes I didn't post my bad results, in order to wait for good ones, and post them all together. But that was a big mistake because it can make you to hurry up to win and play really bad and affect your mental game also. But now it have became a habit, and I enjoy it very much. I like writing, in general, so why not to write for something I like? I feel that I'm tracking my results first for myself, and after for everyone else. So, I'm not thinking anymore what other people might say (of course I appreciate any comment and advice), and I'm not nervous of course. I can take only good things from other's comments. Even the bad comments could help me a lot. I like self criticism and I'm not searching for excuses when things goes wrong. This is a part of my character. At this time I enjoy writing for my results more than ever and I believe that helps a lot my mental part of the game. It's a lot player depended I think. It's not working for everyone.

Hello! Birthday today baby!

Grinding back to the way of nl16..

First 6max session at pokerstars



Sat won



A little lazy about reading or watching videos last days, but I have very much energy for playing. I have to fix this because it’s a crucial part for move up and get better.

It was one of those times that you can’t win a single hand no matter what you do, and you have to stay calm and prevent loosing more.

One small pokerstars 6max session



And more step back session at 888poker 6max Aaaaaarg
