Hi guys,

I'm from Moldova, playing mostly NL SH, sometimes donkaments (for fun/profit). I've played up to NL400 with shots at NL1k which went well overall on fulltilt (was a Rush nl200 player). Moved to stars and got crushed at nl400/200 playing 16-20 tables stacked (will never-ever do that again). That period lost like 15k. So after ftilt died RIP,etc. I moved to stars. with 50$ built 2k with shots. Then I made an awesome challenge at nl100 3k/10 days while 6 tabling. I ended up 9 tabling after taking up table ninja which made my right hand hurt way less (don't think about other stuff...) and was playing arround 10-12 hrs/day which made me finnish the challenge in 5 days.

I'm starting this blog to motivate myself to play higher and higher and put in volume. Also I would like to post hands here and analyse, etc. Kinda going through a downswing/playing badly so would like to change that. The downswing started after I felt I was being owned hardly at NL200.
I've had several computers/databases lost/etc. I'm pretty bad with organising so basicly I have no lifetime graph .

So goal No1:Get 10k and move to NL200.

gl man

I`ll watch your blog. GL!

Hey there! Brag: So I moved to partypoker yesterday - just to get a different feeling and start thinking/grinding again. Beat: Today partypoker changed it's rake from dealt to weighted contributed. LOL. Well this doesn't affect me "asihttonlotofmoney" but it's a bit worse. Well probably will have to work with that. So I got the 500$ first deposit bonus and that would be like 20% rakeback/cahsback w/e. Additionally deppending on how much i rake - i will buy bonuses from points and get better rakeback It's a bit easier to get 50% on party cause of paladium elite done quarterly, not yearly as supernova on stars and I think supernova on stars for cash game players sh is smth like 42% (that's what I've read). Well wish me luck beating nl100 on party!

PS: The soft is a bit tilting and need time for addpatation

Good luck man you seem determined to make your goals

Y thx. I am determined. Today one more financial problem and had to withdraw 1k more out of my roll. So I am moving down to play comfortably on both sites. That means that my goal changes as well.

1st goal: Beat NL50 Stars/Party - up to 3k roll.
2nd goal: Beat NL100 Stars/Party - up to 10k roll.
3rd goal: Shot at NL200.

The 3k roll is almost rdy. Played a ton yesterday and today. Have like 2.5k. So soon moving to nl100. Actually I alrdy took some shots which went well. Have to focus on BRM.. Tomorrow my gf is comming back from her holidays and probly will take some days off. Will come back with some graphs

Ok. Teh month is over.

Here's the graph for all the flamers out there:



Started the month with about 500$ @ NL25.
As u can see I started taking shots and working on my red line in the last days/hands of the month. Read the Pooh-Bah posts,COTW, etc. Had some other talks. Moved to partypoker, started analysing my game a bit more cause of the same regulars on party - so more dynamic etc. This month university is starting so would have a bit less time for grinding, as well as my gf is back from her holidays so that takes time as well...
I'll have to think about a grinding system to motivate myself - any thoughts here are appreciated...

gG!

Some update. Made 15k hands so far this month, broke even finally at nl50,100. Apparently winning some from rakeback. Now the challenge is to beat nl100 at build some roll back. Also my university started today so will have a bit less time to be grinding.
Also cleared the bonus @ PartyPoker and total was +200$. I will be staying at Pokerstars for the rest of the month especially because of the rake change on Party. I will be gunning for supernova till the end of September/beggining of November. For that I should make like 4-5k hands/day which at the moment seems like no problem for me.

Why can't I run that much above EV over a sample that big? mehhhhh

Write to support for doomswitch.

No seriously I talked to a guy today and he said that he got coolers in his favor for the last 5k hands and he doesn't rly know whether he is playing well and was actually whining about it So I also told him to write to support

Finally this month going up. Under EV (for the whiners). Actually I don't care much about EV as one can't control it.

Read some very nice blogs here on 2+2 (One which comes to mind is PandamoniumJTo) Actually I played with him a ton on RUSH tables and he is def a good reg, but a bit too aggressive in my opinion. At least he was at that time. Now I do believe he is better.

You can probably see from my graph that my red line is jumping up and down. That is due to the fact that I was moving to 50NL and 100NL or playing both at the same time, the fact that I have tilt issues. Tilt comes mostly from the fact that I'm sometimes not rly adjusting properly to opponents and get distracted a lot and am currently working on that.

Hi,

It's that time again! I wanna do supernova by the end of September.

Currently have 70k VPPs. At a rate of 1.2k VPPs/day at NL100 12 tabling I should be able to do it.

So - Here it goes

Challenge 1: 31! September - Supernova status.
Challenge 2: 31 December 2011 - 200k VPPs.
Challenge 3: 31 December 2012 - !SNE! 1M VPPs.

Challenge 3 will be attended if I am at NL200-600 and if I get the support from my freinds and familly.

So yesterday went well. Played a good game - ran like **** but i consider that went well because I didn't tilt and played a ton. Made 1.9k VPPs so I'm a bit ahead of pace.



This month so far. Started off with some NL50 and then mixed NL50/NL100. Now Nl100 only.



Hope i run a bit good because my roll is kinda shallow/aggressive and don't really wanna go down on NL50 again. That would mess up my plans. Will do if I have to obv.

Am very motivated to play.

Today I have a beer-party planned arround 5PM so that would mean I have to grind morning-afternoon. Will probly be a bit behind on VPPs.

today went well.

I just notice that you mention that you were "working on your redline" at one point.

If you are playing well, your red and blue lines will move up or down based on your opponents tendencies. There should be no "working" needed for either.

For example, if the majority of players you are up against are nits pre and post, your blue line goes down and your red line goes up because you are exploiting their tendency to fold too often by stealing blinds with air and stealing pots with air. Naturally they will always beat you at showdown because they are nits so the blue line goes down.

Also, if you play against fish who are loose pre and post then your red line will go down because they are never folding and the blue line goes way up because you valuetown them properly.

Due to their preflop tendency of being loose, you will primarily play the majority of pots against loose fish, and therefore the red line will go down because you are exploiting their tendencies correctly. If you are "working" to make the red line go up while playing against fish, you are burning money.

Thanks for the repply.
Actually that is exactly what I was working on. When I said "work" I was actually not saying ("go up redline spew roflmao donk money") but more like ("play more vs fish and find weak regs etc).

My normal game makes redline go a bit down and blue go up. (Big sample size that is).

One more day is over from my road to glory! There has been much pain, suffering, work ethic, bla,bla,bla,etc. :s_mad:

Rly - just doing my job.



Made 2.7k VPPs today and as u can see played 8.5k hands. Actually ran bad rng wise, ran good EV wise and played okish with some mistakes. Didn't spew stacks off or stuff like that. Just some automatic calls which could've been avoided. Anyways if I am going to put a ton of volume - I should start learning how to avoid automatic decisions. Also watched new video which is pretty awsome.
Also realised I have to do some database analysis which probly will do tomorrow or monday.
Have a great Sunday everyone!

Hi guys.

I finnaly figured out my leak. It was the fact that I was playing 12 tables. I tried it out - it didn't go well, mb later i'll try again but i can max concentrate for a long time on 9 tables and for now that's how it will stay. Had to drop to NL50 today in the middle. You can see the point where I did it And cut down 3 tables.



Made 1178Vpps today cause I was a bit tilting and did some review/study/watch videos and then realised the mistake and played a bit in the evening. Also got 100$ stellar so u can say #rostucko today
Not giving up on supernova till end of September. Will just work more hours... Have to!

Hi guys,

Haven't posted for like 4-5 days and that means that i have been grinding a ****onlot. - Wrong. I actually haven't played almost at all. Have been learning playing a bit of Omaha but really i just went almost broke in terms of bankroll. I have like 55k fpps which would be equivalent to 850$ at a rate of 0.016 and 720 at a rate of 0.013 so i would really like to buy the bigger bonus. That would actually mean a solid bankroll for nl25. For now I have like 450$ and still would be playing like nl25/50 and if i go broke - i either deposit or buy the bonus of 650$.
The supernova challenge is kinda off because I still have to make 16k vpps and at nl25/50 is kinda impossible while 9 tabling and i am not going to be playing 24 tables - never!

All things said - i am trying to get back in shape pokerwise and rly got back in shape study-wise because the university is currently taking most of my time.

Best regards and luck on tables (not on mine), yours truly,

x3mwisp.

What happened?

Luck works in mysterious ways.

gl gl op

Well what happened is i went on a downswing for like 1.5 weeks and currently have like a roll for nl25

Supernova should remain my target for this year and then we'll see. The challenge though is dead. I mean when having 16k more vpps to do in like 3 months - i definitely will do it unless i go totally broke lifewise/pokerwise/stars runs away with my money or whatever other silly underachievement from my part. Imo it is even doable at nl25 lol at like 1h/day

GO GO GO OP!!!!!!

September was baddish. Ran pretty bad, but it's variance. Even for a sample this large, because I didn't really change my gamestyle throughout the month. It might just be I'm a losing player, but I refuse to believe it and if it is so I'm gonna become a winning one. Almost did my monthly hands (which is arround 100k). BB-wise I'm 30 stacks down.

Graph:



Tonight there is a party, but I'm too tired to go. Actually decided that I'll go to sleep soon and will sleep so that I get enough of it. WANNA start next month with the right foot.

I failed the supernova challenge so now the challenge will be to get it by end of october. The quarterly million freeroll is 5th November so def have to get it before that date.
