I think your mentallity is soooooo much more impresive then your skill. To be able to put up with these swings for over a few years and not just quit poker, tilt, question your game is to die for. Keep it up you monster!

I do tilt (broke my mouse last night) but it doesn't affect my game too much after I calm down.. Probably won't be playing A+ game when tilting but I won't start to spew etc.

And in almost every downswing I do question my game..

Yesterday I felt like playing some weak nl100 reg so I almost deserved to lose. Anyway just gotta grind through the downswing and hope it ends.

Gonna take rest of the week off from poker and I'll be back grinding on monday so I'm done with this month, +4k!

Hopefully fresh month, fresh start --> upswing coming for sure(?).

Whenever I post a graph it includes all sites unless I say it's from specific site. So that graph includes stars and every other site I play.

Giev, do you like my 3 barrel line here:

6max 200bb deep. I 3bet in the BB vs the SB open with QKo.

cbet flop J99, he calls.

turn cbet J99 8, he calls.

river cbet J99 8 6. (he crai

)

I bet roughly 3/4 pot on each street which left me wih about 60bb behind after my river bet. Thank you!

Sorry but you just can't ask a question like that.. I have no idea how villain plays. But do you think he will fold Jx there? If not TT is the only hand that's gonna fold so not very good then. If he folds Jx then I guess it's ok.

what do you do to reset you confidence after having a big DS? I find it hard to play sometimes because I unwillingly start to expect to lose money. It gets better after a few good sessions but I think there should be ways to shorten that process ..

Giev, do you ever think making this thread could be -EV for you? As in other nosebleed regs could potentially read it and maybe pick up something about your style/ game?

most good regs dont need this thread to get a feel for gievs play cuz the reason theyre good is their ability to adapt quickly

most bad regs wouldnt be able to use any of the info provided cuz the reason theyre bad is their inability to.... anything really

After 2 days i managed to read this thread from start to finish and wow has it been a good ride, very inspirational and even more so motivational. It's great to see that you are a very humble person who doesn't mind dropping bits of advice here and there for your followers. I've learnt quite a bit in these past 2 days from you and would like to give thanks

I'll continue to follow daily and might ask for your opinion on a few concepts in the future if that's ok

Nah not really.. Maybe if I'd still post hands every day with thought process and everyone would know my SN.

I've decided not to worry much about poker this summer. If I get 20-30k hands/month next 3 months it's good enough for me. Gotta try to enojy life and then from september forward there is whole dark and cold winter time to grinddddd.
