I heard you said Galfond was born on a upswing and will die on a downswing. True?

+1 for the car

Yeah it was said. Kind of incorrect though because Jman was a consistant winner on FTP

Nice thread so far, very interesting!

I am wondering about how your process of improvement went (and is still going on). Did you watch a lot of videos? Got coached? I mean, how does a guy go on these huge upswings...
I noticed you value stats quite a bit, so would you say your a 'math' player, or do you play more on feel?

Also have a question about your screenname ISILDRooN, are you also a 'fan' of Viktor BLom for example. Are you friends with him maybe, noticed you were friendly in chat when u played vs him in the scoop PLO HU...

Thanks for taking the time to reply and good luck!!

False


I said he is born in a upswing that will end when he dies!


More tilted today as i wake up to se galfond and mercier made it to the ft in the plo6max 1krb turnament that we played yesterday, had them both on my table for a long while and had a big big stack but just played sooooooooo bad

sick sick sick....

nothing more to say

nice1 gl

Haha. I dont know why they did a three way chop evenly. Where do you draw the line between a good PLO player and a bad one when most of the money goes in at worst 60-40 or so. I dont play PLO so dont blast me.

Okkkk lets analyse what I have done this month so far, hopefully this will be a good post for both you guys and me to read



Started this month out on a small upswing, just climbed down from 10/20 after a ~80k-ish downswing with the goal to clime back up.

I started out pretty good and after 6 days it looked like this



I started month out by crushing 5/10 and started moving up to 10/20, only ante games. Imo my 100bb games need a lot of work and after playing maybe Jman or someone good could give me a call about that

I had a different feel playing 5/10 and 10/20 deep this time then before, i felt relaxed and focus. Often when i go up big steps in stakes i feel stressed out about maybe loosing and often i will play fast and bad i rarely i get up in my first try just cause of the mental bit imo. But this time i had been up before and i knew i could fight back to a lot of the players!

Day7 i went on thas mega rush

I started the session out in the !pokerpatyi and eireabu games, i was well rolled and had a great feel. I tried not to be in their way to much cause i prob just end up flipping it every time so i basically just waited for some om them to start steam and then try to get in there and win some.. I started out winning pot after pot on 10/20 and started railing some 25/50deep tbls.. When up like 30k-ish on 10/20 i decided to give it a shot! Here is some hands and a graph for the session






















































Month looked like this;



Take me back

The 8th i felt that i would blast of the HS tbls, it was finaly my time and here i come! Played a long session and a lot 50/100 but juuuuuust dident make it there. I got the stack in good a couple of times but it just dident happend for me. I ended the session stuck like 70k, give u some hands ofc
































By this point i realized that i had my std issues with bringing my a-game to the top of the range of stakes i play. On both 25/50 and 50/100 i felt stressed when i played, i bluff bad and and just get to deep in to pots i dont even should be involved in, like this for ex;








Had some rly sick session where i was down like -40k and turned it to BE. But yesterday it finally just broke threw for me and i dropped well over 80k. I played !pokerpatyi some hu and just got raped, sure i had som bad luck in big pots but he still wins 85% of the pots we play and rly is just toying with me.


Atm i'm up about 60k for the month, 150k from ath. Feels like busto but guess i learned a bit. Thought this post would get longer but the HH converter don't want to work anymore so i'll it here

Some last graphs and stuff

Great update as usual. Really enjoy reading these. Keep your head up dude.

I thought you played excellent in the 10/20 deep games last week. Seems like you have a good mindset too- realising your mistakes and looking to correct them, rather than bitchin about running bad.

Ahhh. I see. Glad to see you getting some pub. Keep it up!

Nice! Enjoyed reading.

Riktigt intressant tråd, skall följas! Lycka till med plo-liret, har aldrig fått det att funka för min del Du verkar vara något av en degen dessutom så plo kanske är bättre för dig ^^

Hur kommer det sig att någon som uppenbarligen har huvudet på skaft hoppar ur skolan? Tjänade för mycket på pokern antar jag? Tänker du läsa vidare inom en försebar framtid?

gl buddy, enjoying the read. kör hårt

Saw you playing 50/100 with !P0k and phish and was like uhhhhhh? Keep crushing 1000plo for the time being, your time will come.

Will try to


Realized that looking at ev and crying and so on only makes u unhappy, try to play the best u can every session instead and dont give a fu*k is my motto from now

tyty!


Alltid tyckt att skolan är för vanliga människor med vanliga ambitioner, var aldrig intresserad ens utan valde att gå min egen vägen och hade inte så mycket med pokern att göra. Redan på högstadiet började jag fokusera på vad jag tyckte var kul och har bara gått i olika banor från det!

Kul = Pengar, lyx och leva rövare!

nice poast, better luck on next 50/100 shot. Its hard to not focus alot on how you were just up 150k for the month when you drop so much money but i've somehow been able to trick my mind into being able to drop back down and play the same way I would no matter what results have been and how much I lost from my high point. Very tough not to try to push it or play in bad spots when your feeling like you need to make it all back that day though

Thread started out sick. Only getting better. Keep it up.

wow 1st time i read this thread. sick thread... great stuff. isildoorn, thanks for posting here!

If i would play now i prob gona have a hard time focus, feels like i need to make 150k back insta instead of focusing on the big goal

Faaar from done
How could u miss this?

Quoting myself in case you missed my post :P

Any thoughts on this? glgl

Good progress so far, keep it up!

A couple of questions though in regards to this quote "My career has been pretty rough with both big up an downs! Wont put it all in to writing but when i turned 19th i had like a 400k$ role to my name, and when i turned 20 i could not afford to buy new sneakers..."

Once you lost all your 400k BR did you not just feel like quitting? How much money had you previously invested to turn that roll in to 400k.

Once you did go bust, how did you manage to within a year later be playing the highest stakes again? Did you grind from the micros or have you been staked?


Subscribing and will follow this thread.

GL sir.

Very nice progress indeed. Keep the updates coming!

I have one question, in your opinion what is the biggest differences between a midstakes reg and a highstakes reg?

GL at the tables!

Damn sick thread!
