@dekinis
Hvala!

@Ari_Gold
TX mate!Good results you have there!

@Trife
TY! PM about sites for NL25/50.

@Geefmede5
Guess red lines look sexy
I changed my game completely(evolved) and what you are saying is a smaller part.

@IEatDFish
TX mate!

@sk1nnyandy
TX buddy! Well first of all I don't play in games where I don't see an edge and believe me I'm rather conservative about that. Yeah, ofc I balance my ranges but by adjusting for example on mid stakes people strength their Xb or X/C ranges which is extremely unbalanced on lower stakes but for example I don't balance my X/C or XB against people who never barrel off or not even vB thinly since I don't see a point. So I kind of balance by adjusting to my opponents tendencies. About my off table well all that you mentioned is correct. Hand planning is the current topic I work the most.

@Hypno
TY for the help!

@tinytim2006
Well up till NL50 I used 25BI BRM. NL50 30BI, NL100 40BI and later there was no BI BRM since I was moving up based on the quality of my results.

@suitedandzooted
Glad you enjoyed it!

@Everest17
More to amazing stuff to come!


Ola amigos,

First post in the new era. The 100k$ was a tough thing but 250k$ since even harder but I got a nice swingy start. It was swingy as well because of my mixed performances. Have this holes when I start playing a bit too aggressive and my bluffing frequency is way too high but then again I pull myself together and somehow I always find myself back on track.





TOTAL CHALLENGE: 100 099.99$(LAST UPDATE) + 3 739.07$(WINNINGS 4 DAY) = 103 839.06$ / 250 000$

Anyway month seems good for now. Everything is going the right way. Gonna finish my goals when I come back from this 6 day vacation. CYA!

Gl on new challenge will be following!!!!

still crushing, gl with new goal!

whos your coach?

Which site did you start playing on and where did you sign up for rake back?

P.S Keep up the good work!!!

Just finished reading - very inspiring! Keep it up

How many hands do you normally play per week? (when you aren't on vacation etc.)
Has this number changed as you've moved up in stakes?

I'll gladly answer that i'm the proud coach.

Great thread. Would be interesting to see various small things that help contribute to your success such as; sites/time of day played; average tables; and you hud setup.

Congrats!

Would you like to go into depth about this? What aspects are the ones you took to a complete new level? Cause now I don't have a clue actually :P

In before link to Gekko's coaching thread

He probably wouldn't be allowed to tell you even if he wanted to Geefmede5.

Not a tutorial, but a what aspects of his game evolved? Better mental game, better site, table selection, exploiting stats, exploiting leaks, more aggro, less aggro, tighter, looser, blaaabla

Remove the 2 in bold, and i am pretty sure you more or less nailed it, only thing i can think of is seat selection.
In todays game the smartest are the bumhunters, because they find the best action.

Awesome progress Hans. You must be proud of yourself. Would you say you followed the NO BS book coupled with the ranges etc to the fullest? And does it have the strength Gordon says it has?

Also, how has your ranges changed since moving from say nl50 to nl200-600?

Would greatly appreciate awnsers

Best of luck to you Hans

@!uSwEEt!
TX! GL to you as well!

@Everest17
TY mate! Gonna follow, right?

@ekk5428
PM about that.

@NickPappas
TY! Well TBH I have never ever looked how many hands I played a week. Rarely look how many I played a day since sometimes I lazy to count the 3 daily session. I think the volume dropped down a bit as I moved up but can't 100% confirm.

@GutPunch
TX. Well currently I play mostly 6 tables on average and 8h/day. And this small things can influence a lot. I so pissed currently at HM that I always wanted to switch but I have such an awesome HUD +NCE that I don't wanna switch to PT although it might be better.

@Discussion
Hypno gave a good overview. It's a lot of things and this topic is way larger then a forum post. In general there are probably a ton of stuff out there about how to improve your red line so I doubt that I will tell you something new.

@SmartWentCrazy
TY! Well, I wouldn't say that I'm proud because in some weird way I do not completely realize what I achieved. But still it felt great when I finished. Probably one of those unforgettable moments.
Yeah I followed the ranges almost up to today. It's like a default plan in general. Ofc a NL600 reg is more skilled then a NL50 reg and so I made some adjustments like C more 3B/ 4B bluffing etc. but if playing on a table where I don't know anybody I stick my default game which are NO BS guidlines.
Postflop I changed more but mostly because of the stakes I'm playing.


Hi everyone,

After a somewhat longer period I guess it's time for an update. Enjoyed my vacation a lot but I consistently couldn't wait to come back in the world of poker. Hmm....am I becoming a workaholic?

Anyway the 2 days have generally speaking. A good run one day and a bad one on the next although currently the NL1k tables do not really like me since I got coolered a lot lately. But I can run on all stakes hot and especially not forever.

Also before I get to end of this post does anyone experience HM2 problems lately(after the latest update). Because my HM consistently freezes combined with the HUD, mostly after 10-15 min and it's really a pain in the ass. Or it's maybe time for me to buy a better PC?





TOTAL CHALLENGE: 103 839.06$(LAST UPDATE) + 2 821.96$(WINNINGS 2 DAY) = 106 661.02$ / 250 000$

Next update after the weekend. CYA!

Cool thanks for the awnser.

Good luck and keep them updates coming.

One of the best and most motivating threads on 2+2 imho.

TX mate! GL to you as well!


Hey guys,

The 3 working days are behind me and it's time to summarize them. Been running pretty OK-ish and playing pretty solid. The funny part is that I come to realize that I have a new way of letting things come out of me when I'm faced with a bad beat or cooler. I scream(swear) for a moment, punch the table and then just move on like it never happened. Like a new born and it doesn't really seem to affect me. Almost feel like a tennis player.

It's something new or at least I realize it now. Prior that I was just swearing silent but I also felt this negative emotions that rise up way longer. No I get rid of them instantly and just continue like nothing happened. I hope that's really gonna continue this way.

Anyway here are the results:






TOTAL CHALLENGE: 106 661.02$(LAST UPDATE) + 5 995.59$(WINNINGS 3 DAYS) = 112 656.61$ / 250 000$

Month looks good for now. Up 22k$ + expect to get like 7-8k$ RB. Maybe I'm might hit finally the 30k$ but till the end of the month there is a lot of play left and as things can change anytime. GL!

Sick results, wp. Gl for the rest of the month.

Sorry for hijacking the thread so often but had to comment and say that ive also been using this " **** ME " shouting when a cooler erupts. Feels better than the quiet "feck me". And as u say, feels like the tilt is lingering off way quicker.

Just....LOL. Plus a big .!.

Fair play to you pal. Hats off.

What site did you end up at hans?

Im sure we prob battled a little bit on starlive.

Do you play multi sites now?

Sub

hans can u give me your skype....i wanna ask u a few question?

500/hr. ;0)

Hey Hans. Ive been trying the NO BS system at nl50. Which it isnt really suited for.

Would you be so kind and share your stats so i can evolve my game towards more than playing 17/13/4, which im getting following the ranges in NO BS book. Or if you dont want to share the stats please just let me know if your roughly the same of become much looser? especially in regards to the 3 betting.

I just cant see atm how this system can be profitable above nl50. Or do i have to buy Double your winrate to get to the next level?

I really want to keep going but atm it just dosent seem possible.

Big thanks and big luck, ur the man

Then you're doing something wrong!!!
I myself just bought the book and I'm getting stats in the range of 27/21/5
Take a look at Hans' youtube channel. In the NL10 report you can clearly see his stats and it's nothing like 17/13

Yeah, my mistake. Corrected and doing much better.
