Sent you pm.

Yesterday was not so productive, played 5,5h and studied 90 min, but there was more shallow work and overall I felt more tired during the day.

Today already started late, wife is stopping with breastfeeding our younger boy so last 2 nights she is not sleeping in our bed and he wakes me up several times, so I can't wake up early as I would like to. Probably tonight is last night, so it will get easier either to wake up or grind late in the night if I decide to completely give up on Bros.

Just finished last session today, ended quicker than I was expecting since I felt quite good before the start but in 40 min lost around 2k so decided to quit, and update here.

Overall I'm satisfied with dedicated work and gameplay, but still, focus could be better, and need to find more herofolds on the river.

Month to date I think I'm around BE, up on all sites except Unibet where I'm losing around 5k this month.

I'm on 26,5h playing this week and 6,5h studying so I guess I'll easily reach 40h playing 10h studying in the next 2 days.

I'll probably go through some hh now since I'm too nervous to sleep.

Yesterday spent a few hours in PIO studying, felt really good about it. While playing was confident, and most of the time played well, but need to pay more attention not to go on autopilot and be more aware in those river spots.

I was frustrated again yesterday after session, played well most of the time, but again didn't find a fold in few river spots and I was always behind.

After session opened twitch and saw PS reg streaming 2/5- 10/20 games, and after 2 minutes he was in a similar spot where people don't bluff enough.

so he had SQZ pot 3 way, he was on BUT with KK on 87xss flop reg XC flop and X jammed blank turn and his reaction same what I do in those spots. Tilting sigh, and how can I fold this, but they never bluff, and eventually he called and lost vs flopped top set.

Then I opened Benabadbeat thread and read some of his Hh and saw that he is having a rough time as well, and suddenly my bad run wasn't looking so bad at that point.

This was one of the last hands in session.
HU on Unibet vs reg.

BB 3B pre I call with 86

Flop T77
BB CB small I call

Turn: 5
BB X I stab small size, BB call

River: 9

BB X I Bet around 160 into 230, and BB Jam for around 450.
HERO ???

Today I'll fire some tournaments, regarding weekly goals, already yesterday completed 10h study goal, and currently I'm on 34h playing, but with MTT session today that goes easily over 40h.

I'm happy cause I managed to push my self to play a lot and study at the same time, but need to work on that focus.

Cheers.

Any specific parts of the gametree you've been delving into? This week I've been choosing flops from a subset that check around 50% as PFA, as ofc, these are the spots where a mixed strat is vital and imo, "Freestyling" these mixed spots will seldom garner as much EV as just range betting/checking. Working on the ethos of a NE strat implemented poorly is worse than a simplified strat played perfectly, and so have been oversimplifying these flop textures that require mixed strat for something intuitive and replicable in game. Just seems like a sisyphean task tbh and my time would probably be better spent on turns and rivers where more EV is up for grabs. GL out there on them grimey hs streets

No way he has smaller flush, so I think you are always behind, especially afater the lines you both took. But agree its hard to fold this.

I agree with you that freestyling with mixed styling will probably end up worse than executing a simplified strategy. I've learned well simplified strategy before, and that was working fine last year, but this year ran into problems when I tried to play that in the tougher field like PS 2/5 and 5/10 games.

So I've started over again learning those spots, and for sure I'm making much more mistakes than before, but hopefully, I'll learn it someday and results will be better.

Depends what stakes are you playing but imo probably up to nl200 on most sites you can use simplified strat and make profit.


Agree with you, the thing is I don't think it should be hard to fold it if you want to be good midstakes reg and I feel like idiot when I call and lose to 99, he didn't have 9s so it was 1 outer to take my stack.

Today I played MTT session with some cash in the end.
Lost around 2k on MTTs 1k backed and around 1k for my self but have day 2 Winamax main for Tuesday with a solid stack.

Weekly recap: I've completed both goals, played total 41,5h and studied 11h
My overall performance was meh, so for next week, I'll focus on playing A game.




Have lot's of stuff to do this week, upgrade my PC, friend is preparing birthday party for his kid, need to pack up things for a family vacation, so most likely I'll play around 20h and planing to study 10h+

I'm currently working backwards from 50% check on a variety of subsets for diff positions and trying to apply heuristics to certain board textures even to just gain a better understanding of the gametree in its entirety. But I'm sure there's plenty of spots, against even the regs holding down the nosebleeds on ps, we can nodelock tendencies for subtle exploits! Just gotta hope you can afford to buy the sample! GL out there man

Tomorrow I'm going on vacation and wont be playing till 5th Aug, so I'll make month wrap up.

for this week goal was to play around 20h and study 10h, but even when I was setting up those numbers I was kind of flexible and knew that this week I'm not going to push myself. Result is that I failed heavily both.

I had a small surgery on Thursday, removing melanom on my shoulder, I thought I'll be able to work as usual after those, but cut was bigger then planned so I needed to rest and be careful with my arm cause of stitches.

Good thing is that my plan to play A game worked well, was happy with my focus, and performance, but goal is to be able to play A game for longer period, obv much easier to play A game when you play only 2h per day.

July results:


This is PokerBros, PS.eu and es,
Lost 2,4k€ on Unibet in 11k hands, and won 100€ on Croatian site in 1,7k hands.

When I add around 1k$ from RB and deduct loss on MTTs it's around 8k$ Profit, all together decent results for effectively 15 days playing.

2 weeks of vacation fly by, started slowly and had a feeling that it's going to last, but in the end, wanted to stay a bit more. Unfortunately, our room was already booked so we couldn't extend our stay last Sunday, so I drive home, took a nap and hopped in for Sunday MTT grind.

Had decent stacks in 5k Stadium main and in Venom but eventually ended the day with -100% ROI and 10k down. Fml why they didn't have room, or why I didn't move to the smaller room were my thoughts that night.


Throughout the week played a decent amount of cash, and some wsop events, on Tuesday fired small session and manage to finish 3rd for 11k in 210$ bounty on GG, and won seat for 5k main with my first 500$ bullet.
Then today fired another big MTT session which ended bit better then last Sunday spent around 7k on Buyins ended up cashing for 320$.

On Friday wife took the kids and travelled with her parents and brother on the coast again, I wanted to join them and struggled a lot to go with them or stay and grind, but games are too good to skip another week, although I might join them on Thursday or Friday and return on Saturday so she and older boy don't need to take the bus.

Few run bad hh:

Results Aug: Lower BI MTT 8k Profit
High BI MTT 14k Down
Cash : around 1,5k down pre RB

Hi all, again I was lazy to update, nothing much was happening, I was playing a lot on GG last month, WSOP evenets+ cash.
Didn't had any success in high BI MTTs, had few smaller cashes but that's it. Made day 2 in main in 2nd bullet, on Sunday started with 30BBs just to bust very first hand on day 2, which was quite disappointing.

Although I would say that my MTT game is ok, it's a bit frustrating cause there are so many spots where I don't know what to do, I was comparing my stats with stats what top regs have, and noticed that I'm much tighter then most of them with only 24/16/8 VPIP/PFR/3B while most of them have 28-32 VPIP. Most postflop stats are ok and similar to theirs but it's much easier to have high wwsf, when playing 20% less hands then they do.

Month ended losing around 33k$ on high BI MTTs, that I play backed, and around 6k profit in <300$ BI which I play on my own.

Played almost 40k cash hands which is very good volume when I add MTT 16-17k hands on MTTs.
Played only on GG, wanted to compare those games with Bros, and I really enjoyed grinding cash there, the software is very good, and I was able to achieve much higher hands/h then on PokerBros, games were very good, NL500 and NL1k both looked soft, but also rake is very high, and their PVI doesn't help either.

PT4 said that I payed over 12k$ rake in 37k hands, but I think it doesn't track big hand jackpot so actual amount is even higher, along with MTT rake I raked over 15k$ but in fish buffet got around 800k points which equals 8k$ rake so my avg PVI close to 0,5

I felt great at the tables, was playing well, focus was good, but unfortunately run on 5/10 was bad so I ended being down 600$ pre RB, but leaderboad tickets + RB+ rev share will probably go close to 8k$ profit which is ok, but have a feeling that this month I played my best poker ever, so shame that results were not better.

Tracker results are bit off, at the beginning I accepted 3 runs but later realized those hands are not tracked well, and I guess it doesn't track big hand jackpot.



For September there are WCOOP event's that I'll play, but beside M and high event not planning to play much other MTTs except on Sundays. Don't have motivation to play 200$ outside of series events.

As for cash will probably mix Pokerbros and GG, still didn't decide which one I prefer better, Bros is softer, but for me harder to get high hands/h, so that makes GG better choice cause lack of time, affiliation for Pokerbros takes me more time than before since it's growing and now I'm already making decent money out of it, without even taking big margins as most big agents takes.

At the same time I try to be good and carrying father and husband, and spend enough time with my family. I'm still searching best routine for all of that but it's hard, without MTTs ti would be much easier....

Month Summary:
Cash: around +7-8k after RB and bonuses.
MTTs low: +6k$
MTTs high: -33k$

Cheers!!

GG is a godly site while you have a PVI ~1, and a **** one when it's less than 0.3. I played some 200-1000 there, 6bb/100 at 500 seems tough to beat, games are good, but a lot of fish are playing short stacked. Btw, how did you get that stake deal, and were you ever in a stable/study group/had a coach?

Yeah if I would have PVI around 1 it's insane.
Don't think 6BB on 2/5 is sustainable do the such high rake, but games are definitely very good.

Stake deal is one rungood story.
Backer is recreational and we met in local casino probably 5-6 years ago. In 2015 there was big 1k tourney in Croatia so he asked me do I need backing. At this point I was able to play few 1ks per year so I said it's not needed for 1 mtt but maybe if he is interested we can arrange longterm deal.
At that point he was not interested, but in Sep 2016 I asked him does he want to buy action/stake me for WSOP C main, after that we agreed on staking for live events, soon after I started to play up to 5k BIs. So last 3 years I was going to EPT Monaco, Barcelona and Prague, didn't play much events outside EPTs, after he had only 25% in my 90k wcoop bink in 2017. he started backing me for online HS events during series.

First coach I hired on 2+2 it was in 2015, 2+2 member bandin, we did a few hours and that already helped me realize how little I know, and worked 14 months with Ja.sam.gale in CFP deal from Mar 2019.
Working with him really opened my eyes, I had solid results before but it was on asian apps where competition was much weaker then regular pools. I remember before I started working with him had insanse run on Pokerking asia wininng about 30k$ in 40 days playing mainly 10/20/40 CNY(1,5/3/6$), at that point I thought I only need little guidance to beat HS there which was maybe true for that pool, but in reality I was miles behind PS 500 regs in theory knowledge.

Had kind of slow start of the month had lot of work for Pokerbros affiliation, and other offtable commitments so I played only 5k hands on NL1k with solid run and results.


Today will play shitload of MTTs so wish me luck

I was talking about 6bb/100 rake at 500nl, that's kinda similar to ps 100nl rake. Yeah, I also heard good things about jasamgale cfp from acquaintance. Are youan affiliate for some club(don't reply or pm if it's against tos )?
H1 Always raising AT there? If not do you prefer As or not?
H3 His turn raise seems bad, right?

not sure am I allowed to respond on that

usually not, but he used only 2/3 sizing when it's almost sure he would use 3/4+ with JJ+ so I have easy stackoff.

yep, happy when runnout punish random clicking
also not to mention how he leaves his XC XC range super capped so I can barrel **** out of him.

Sunday MTT grind went bad, spent close 10k on BI(6,5k$ on 500$+, and 3k on lower BI) and cashed for only 1k in low Buy ins.

Nothing going my way, but I still hope I'm not going to feel real MTT variance, cause it will hurt. Currently in make up close to 40k€ which is by far biggest since I started playing backed, and wcoop has just begun.

Good thing is that I don't have pressure I must play, which makes things much easier, I mean if I would need to regrind outside of series I wouldn't even be playing this high.

For this week I'll play maybe few WCOOP M and H events, and focus on studying and cash game grind.
cheers

Nice thread
Am curious to what extent you believe PS 500NL to be tougher (still in 2020) to other games (especially Unibet)? Like to what degree of a difference? As well as WR for both, if you do not mind sharing...???

GL friend

Would be interested in this one too

Ty

Probably my opinion is highly influenced by not running well on a small sample on PS. This year I played only 22k hands on PS and I was loosing at -8bb wr, feeling there were regs are making fewer mistakes than I do, while
4-5 months before trying PS I was beating Unibet NL400 with 5bb on close to 200k sample. But also on PS I was far from playing my A game, was running bad on all sites and at one point hit 30k downswing.

This month I got poker challenge to rake 3k$ and I'll get 1,2k$ RB on PS so I'll give shot to those games again, but looking at those tables it really doesn't look good to me, I'm not fast in clicking so harder to get a good seat, also hate that tables are breaking quickly, so all the time you need to pay a lot of attention on empty tables to get good seat if rec player joins.

Looks like I found a good run on GG this month +7k in 5k hands + 1k$ from spin.

Curious to hear if/how your opinion changes after this month ends. My experience is similar to yours. I also don't put much volume on PS but from what I've experienced, I get put in more tough situations in general and regs seem to mix frequencies quite well in a lot of spots. Unibet regs imo are easier to play against, faceup and very imbalanced in certain spots.

Subbed btw

Ty for sub

I'm not sure that I'll even finish that challenge, don't see value while crushing other games.

Just broke a few personal records today.
Highest profit at cash tables in one day +10,7k$, and highest number of hands 4,3k hands on cash + only 1 MTT played 530$ wcoop thrill and made day 2 with 75BB with 167 left so it's a solid sweat.

Yesterday I was playing on bros and games were also very good, so I have really though time deciding where to play, GG or Pokerbros.

Pros for GG are better software and much easier to grind good volume, but their PVI rake really annoy me. Today I raked 2,1k$ without jackpot fee, and in got 72k Fish points which is equivalent for 720$ rake.

While on bros I would probably have higher wr over long run and probably around 60$ RB per hour. but much less hands.

record day graph.

Gratz on the big day man, well done.

That pvi **** is absolutely disgusting. I had pretty much decided to stick on gg instead of going back to bros but after you posted that they're effectively cutting out 2/3rds of your rb , I just want to cry

Very sick day mate - I think fwiw my PVI is even lower on GG, think 0.1 now, so really not great when we consider the rake at 1k.

The regs are definitely not the same guys playing Stars, but with the rake I'm still not really sure it's a crushable stake, think I am winning about 4evbb/100 post rake over first 40k hands and would guess I've run well too.

tyty

I also have 4evbb/100 on 48k sample NL500 and NL1k, but don't think it's sustainable with such high rake.

So it can go even worse, ****.. with 0,3 feeling was quite bad, but if it can go worse I'll probably play on bros more.
I can't chase leaderboards like those regs on daily basis, after yesterday's long grind I am not able to do it again.

So either I'm gonna chase the leaderboard 4 days a week and try to hit top 3 spots while maintaining good wr or I'll just play bros and table select there.

Is what you're saying George when you rake $1k at 50% rakeback you get $50 back? Or am I still drunk from last night?

Yeah correct, although closer to $60 because top level fish buffet is 60%.

Sick you can make the leaderboards OP, it's insane volume to even cash for me!

on 2/5 I found it easier to reach paid places, but on NL1k they grind more, and I'm still not used on those big money swings so harder to complete day when thing not going my way.

Friday I was so tired that play only shortly on bros, and the plan for Saturday was to chase the leaderboard again. I was standing good but nothing was going my way so decided to give up with the worst day ever at cash tables. Around midnight I was down 10k, despite big loss think I've played fairly well that day.

Sunday was booked for MTTs where I got crushed again, on higher BIs more or less everything was std, while on lower BIs had few potentially very good spots lost in such stupid pots.

Today spent the day with family and the plan for the evening was to do some study and accounting for PokerBros affiliation, but since I didn't receive reports from all clubs saw Win the button wcoop so I late regged 109$ and opened few PS and GG tables.
2h later I'm mad at my self, didn't play well and didn't make 2 folds that should have done and result is -3k session on GG, and small profit on PS only due the AA vs KK setup.

It's really important for me to stick to plans, and not to play when I'm tired, made that mistake too many times.

Here is graph from start of the month, it's obvious that I was folding a lot more last few days but should have folded lot more.



And here are 2 pots that I should have been easy fold.
