Push, push and push your limits. That's what my life have always been.

Now it's time for a new shot for poker. Played old days a few hands 25/50, a few k hands of 10/20, a few ten of thousands hands 5/10. And then mostly 2/4 and 1/2 which was my breat and butter. I was a highly winning player, but there was so much going on in my life these days.

Ok. These days are long gone. Now it's time to try to over. See if I have it what it takes. Starting micros because I am my own worst enemy in poker. I try to push the envelope too far, which make me lose many pots to like every player alive. But thats totally ok. Micros don't cost me money, so I play them until I crush them.

I'm not that bad as last paragraph would indicate though. I would estimate my skillset to be now about a level of winning 0.25/0.5 player (higher if I just try to play my basic A-game which is totally boring not gonna do that ever). But I want to crush them and push until I crush, which means that my whole game is going to broke into pieces most probable many times. And times that happen I would not beat even play money games.

Oh and I play NLH and then some PLO. And then a little bit tournies here and there, though I don't enjoy push/fold phase in tournies and then it's a little bit too much for me to sit many days straight 8-12h in a computer playing tourneys with only 5 min breaks. Not that good at tourneys these days. Probably slightly losing / marginal winner until like a few hundred of them played.

I would enjoy most no limit Omaha, but no one plays it. For me PLO and NLH are a good combinations, since they put you different mindsets. Limit games are not for me at all.

Short update.

What is making me most money now in NL? River overbet bluffs to mediocre sized pots.

PLO? My better ranges for big pots. And then two pairs.

Problem now: to be right mindset. Long time since played. Mind easily pick up everything and try to prevent peacufull right mindset to play and have fun by doing it.

Btw if some 2+2:er is into chess would love to hear. I have many ideas considering Stockfish and Leela. I am self taught and mostly intrested in chess theory, so would be interesting to chat and improve my ideas.

Free tip to improve at poker: blitz chess.

Man they have a good flow in their game.

First bigger leak fixed. Played way too laggy when game is on grazy mode. I was big loser momentally, when very basic play very tight ranges since players are very raise / call everything happy.

Old days you get away with your looser ranges since playerpool fishes played so much worse. Wasn't particularly good to maximally extract from those games ever.

No big deal higher stakes game is less time in a grazy mode anyway.

Took a walk. Now I'm starting to become confident, that I can win from micros all the time I play.

Next step crush it. I'm quite happy with my play from position. OOP my aggression is misplaced. I really need to get it work. Anhilate positional advantage by uberaggressive OOP play. Ok this can take some time and errors. Hard to say.

Ok now my playing is total garbage. Just what I am looking after. Now it's finally time to start building process based on what games really look like these days. 0.01$/0.02$ here I come.

Started day by 5BI won. Goal for this day min 20 BIs from micros. They say that you are not winning player, if you don't have at least 20BIs ups.

If not then good alternative is that soon my game is again on the trash can, which is good.

Starting to get heated for this poker challenge. It's we humans against piosolvers. I root for team humans.

Ok now I'm starting to find my turn overbets. Which is nice.

And now it's 10bi:s. Have not been even playing that much and variance have been totally typical. What a disgrace it would be for team humans, if I can not win 10 more bi:s today.

Aaand then some bump on the road. +8BI still. Still 20bi is doable I assume. Couple losed flips.

And now trashed my game again, while seeing some new concepts that are not that easy to implement.

Ok 13ish buyin today so far and could be it. Improved my though processes at the end so maybe okish. Quite bad anyway. Feel not satisfied.

Today will think about my game, and drink beer.

Good beers and good thoughts on poker. Maybe I continue me though processes tomorrow, since I think I have some nice progress there. And finally at this stage of my poker career I start to understand how I want to analyze / think through poker.

Aand playing 6 table fast fold tables. Should be able to just relax a little bit more. Studying the game was good. Now I'm ready for this.

Even if it is 10$ / hour it's a job. Very many people get that salary in western countries.

Tick, tick, tick now it feels that everything is starting to click. Hunting for that 20bi day.

Ok. My wr drops a way too much with 6 tables. Need to work on that one.

Own game feels good. My biggest problem now is be a station against villains value bets, when clearly there just is no bluffs. Mediocre sized pots.

AAaaand my game is uberbad. Had nice variance though. Very good few steps, and time for well played aggression.

For the records yesterday was sloppy 10bi day. Today is tilt the regs day. No result orientation.

Damn these regs are hard to tilt. Should move up, where they tilt more from my raises.
