Finally managed to play some hands today, been messing about with a new HUD an its been driving me a bit crazy, its getting there now though, finally got the thing up and running. Still not completely comfy with it yet, but have at least stopped playing like a total douchebag and donating to everyone whilst not even thinking like a logical person. Hopefully can put in a decent bit of volume now before the end of the month. Heres todays graph:



And heres my month so far:


As you can see my redline is ****ing mess this month, think its combo of things. Firstly 50NL has better regs who dont give up as much. Defo running bad in lots of turn/riv spots - hands like this dont help:




But also not making some good folds in some spots i know is a big reason, this is tilt related and needs to be dealt with, so will try and do some database analysis soon to address the problem. Anyway hope i can salvage my month and make 50K plus hands, will update soon.


Btw have just finished watching True Detective, can recommend highely really good TV series:


Anwya GL everyone

your apartment looks amazing! what a place to live, very jealous. must be one of the best locations in england especially if ur into surfing like you say. defo post some vids of that. how much does it cost if you don't mind me asking with a view like that? gl sir

Gl man. Don't give up.

I would say that any sort of attachment to your redline at small stakes is a big leak. At limits where people a) don't fold enough, and b) don't bluff enough, having a losing redline seems completely standard and likely optimal since we should be giving up more with our bluffs, and folding more when villains ranges are often heavily weighted to value.

think you played this hand really well, and river is a fold 100% of the time. if you never herocalled this spot in your entire life, even at 500nl+, you are probably making way more money than you're losing and it wouldn't be close. definitely tilting to lose the hand, but you maxed EV and that's what it's all about.

Today was another meh day, lacked focus at the tables, HUD related bc i am still confused about a lot of stuff in my popups. Lost 2 stacks due to confusion in 3B pots where i miscalculated ranges :/ Need to re focus tomorrow morning so will be hitting the pregame meditation hard for next 10 sessions and really focusing on my game, no destractions and following a B game leak plan. Gotta make this happen pretty focused on beating 50NL now, its tilting me hard being break even bc i know if i focus and stop slipping back into slack habits i will win against these guys. Today i broke even and ran over EV about 250bb's which was nice, but am getting into lots of setups with KKvAA and AA v Topset in 4B pots sorta stuff so kinda give or take whatevers No giraffe today bc i am not crushing hehe, joke actually too tired to post one today, tomoz though fosho ! oh also played a donkament and busted early so nothing new there - micromillions QQ>KK vs a 50/30 spazwhale lolz


yeah place is super nice - managed to get a good deal on it share with a few friends and it cost around 1200£ per month + bills, works out pretty cheap i pay 340£ per month which is a steal. Looking forward to some summer time BBQs now after winter.

Ha thanks man will try to keep my head up during this runmeh time

Nate thanks for the advice man, i aspire to get better and havin your advice means alot and gives me motivation to really focus on my game. The redline stuff is soething i think a lot of low stakes players morry too much about. Will take that on board, looking forward to working with you soon

today was the toughest day this year, cant say i played my best, but ran truely awful in every possible way. Setup city every other hand. Couldnt beat 2nl running like this tbh haha. Month now:



Current mood:



Thats all for now

Tomorrows a new day though

Decided to channel my inner nit and move down to 25NL again:


Makes me sad to fail at my shot 50NL, but i can't play solid with all the pressure of my BR being threatened and running like i have been. Never expected the move up to be easy so just need to work lots on my game, next time i move up i will be a better player. Made numerous mistaes during the last 35K hands. Also i am totally aware that many people have run much much worse for longer periods of time than i have recently, its just hard to process the variance in your brain when its you that its happening to you.

Anyway 25NL here i come again Today is officially the first day of spring lets celebrate









See ya at the tables fellow micro peps, everyone else GL at the tables

Im not big on blondes but my god she is a delight.

Keep up the good fight, looks like you are putting in a ton of work(making me feel lazy), just a matter of time before you break through. House looks sweet aswell, nice booze selection.

yeah she's a full blown dream victoria's secret's ftw

Yeah if ya ever in SW this summer hit me up you can come sample some for sure

cheers man, i am pretty amped to get up above the micro's now, although been a bit lazy in last week, ended up on tour with some friends, was pretty messy went away to see some bands which were pretty awesome, friends band:

then partied at a festival ended up being for 2 days of full debauchery haha, had ultimate hangover from hell yesterday, gym sesh HURT!


Anyway gonna try and grind a ton before April now, mainly 25NL i guess, maybe try and hit 50 again next month. Thats all for now GL people

after moving back to 25NL on the 21st:



Fish fun:



No money HU everyones solid



Slowplayaments, not sure what villains turn bet accomplishes:



Anyway more tomo hopefully, good luck.

Hey wassup people - quick March review here:

Results March:


Pretty disappointed that i failed to play my A-game nearly enough especially after moving back down to 25NL after my 50NL shot. Runbad is just an excuse, its my mental game thats the problem still not solid enough, esp in heavily reg infersted lineups when i run bad.

Year so far:




So some changes are goin to be made.

Change 1) move down to 10NL for one month to work on my game at a level where the money has no real meaning to me, just making the best plays i possibly can. move back to 25NL if i feel huge advances in my thought process.

Change 2) back to real life work for 3 nights a week driving for my friends company, should net me 200-250£ per week which is comfy living expenses.

Change 3) tilt reports / analysis - detailing mental game stuff like i started out doing but got slack with after i crushed for 100K hands, i never solved some underlying issues that are still there, and need addressing. Its like i was a different player at the ned of March comapred to the end of Feb.

Change 4) session review 4 times per week, i kinda slack at this so i feel i should set an attainable goal for this. Also the theory really controls my mental game, if i know why i am folding calling raising then i enevr get tilted by results, whereas if i randomly make feel plays (which i do a lot) and they go wrong i get tilted.

So thats my goals for April. Also i began reading/listening to an audiobook that may appear a little "out there" to some people, but has some interesting ways on how to use the brain to your advantage.

link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Power_of_Now

Its very deep in places, but offers some really cool idea's on how to think about life differently. Its already helped me in some ways that i wont go into detail here yet, until i have fully read / tested them. Gonna end up a hippy at this rate

To finish i will say that this month ended with some really great waves here, some pics from the last 4 days

Cornish desert:


A nice tube for me at my local:


Mt friend getting one while i was swimming with the cam:


Hope to see you at the tables - GL everyone

Can't believe I'm not subbed yet, GL man

Awesome year graph and surf pics!

Thanks man!

New Goal for April, play 100K hands of zoom solid, when i say solid what i mean is to never make a bluff without thinking about hand ranges. its gonna be tough bc i am a button clicker at heart Have decided that 3 tables of zoom will provide me with the best chance to think clearly and logically about every hand i play. Its gonna be focused and active learning / play. Will be posting reports pretty much daily. Thats all for now people, GL and maybe see ya at the zoomaments

Quick update, been working hard on my game, although volume somewhat low this month, mainly bc been working hard to integrate new HUD, which i have done now. Can say with con fidence i expect to be able to exploit low stakes people really well with this thing, its a beast. So looking to play a strategy that adjusts in a somewhat exploitative style so i become everyones nemesis unless they play solid balanced strategy (which no one does )



In life stuff, surfs been good lately, feeling fitter now its warming up and getting in the sea a bunch, also have quit any drinking and living clean as much as possible, makes a huge difference an feels good. Here is a picture i got the other day of a nice green tube during what was the funnest surf in a long while



Thats all for now, will post an update of 25NL zoom results when i have 25K hands from today with new HUD, probs just 3tabling to really focus and try and play my A++ game. GL everyone

I'd like to see a vid of you surfing. Also, why is the water so green? Is the plankton blooming already?

quick update, started a stake, guy is really cool and puts in a lot of time helping me, which is obviously amazing. have lots of improvemant already i guess. stake is for 50NL zoom - so far i am doom switched though, down 12 buyins so far. have made a few mistakes overall, but nothing to write home about, just mainly cooler decks seem to be the norm right now. example from last sesh where i lost every pot i put money into:



not sure what i can do to turn it around apart from grind it out. posting for some rungood, help me Adriana

playing great today and getting destroyed so hard at zoom, lose every pot i play in spectacular fashion - this morning AKvAA vs a 30% 3 bettor, and KT>AQ on ATXTX runout all in otf vs a retartded regfish and only 30mins played - not sure i can do anything different apart from post here and focus on really playing my A-game

few hands from this morning:

vs regfish who has zero 0% fold to raise and have seen spaz jam weird hands already:



guy has a 20% SD not sure how he got that...


Maybe misplayed the flop here, not sure i like betting >checking, either way villain is nit fish and never CRs...


Bleh 30% 3B ftw...




On a positive note i feel like i have played great today, hope it turns around sometime soon

Keep your head up John and just remember, losing heaps and winning heaps isn't real. The only thing that matters is how hard you are working to make your worst less bad and your best even better.

100K HANDS 25NL ZOOM MINICHALLENGE

So been running awful at 50NL and need to get myself back in a good frame of mind. So am beginning a small minichallenge today in a LorenzoMatterhorn / OTBRedBaron esk style today destroying-500nl-zoom-minichallenge (highly recommend reading that thread btw)

- 100K hands of 25NL zoom with the highest winrate i can achieve, goal is minimum 5bb/100 although i feel if i run ok i can get 7-8 easy. Will update daily and post intersting hands / coolers, also any tilt stuff i think is relevant.











Let the fun begin...

Yeah man appreciated

Go go go ninja!!!!!!!!

GL man, go crush it!

Cheers people, gonna go hard at this challenge

So have been a little slack since last post, been taxi driving and not playing much, then my HD died and so today i am hitting the grind hard, and also playing the sunday storm later on today, will post if i get deep in that one. Anyway more later.

GL mate ! crush them
