Hey 2p2.

This is my second PGC thread and i hope it will last longer than the other one. You can find it here:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/17...013-a-1247430/
To all people starting from 1.5/3.5s. It can be done.

Im going on vacation next year to US (i live in Brazil), and promised my fiance that i was going to pay it with "poker money". So, lets do it!. I think i need at least 8k.
When i stopped posting in the last thread i was playing 7s trying to move up to 10s. Im now confortably playing 15s on Stars and trying to move up to 30s.
I finished Cog Dissonance course a few weeks ago, and fixed a ton of leaks. Of course, im still a fish, but a "improving fish".

Here is my 15s so far this year:



and my shots at 30s:


Im running sooooooooooo good at 30s now. I hope variance does not hit me the other way.

Ill get married next month, so my poker time will sufer a lot. In the other hand, ill have more free time after august.

Im buying zzztilt/phl500 package this week. Will try to watch it next week.
So, here is my goals for this month:

[ ] Watch the husng hyper package.
[ ] Play 800 more games. (it will be difficult because of the wedding and stuff)
[ ] Stay at 30s.
[ ] Run good.

Good luck guys.

Ok...so i got a little time before going home. Will try to write some stuff now =D
Today i plan to grind at least 100 games. Lets see if i can do it.

A little bit about my HT "journey":

I started playing on revolution 1.5s and was running so bad, i just had to grind a lot (for my standards). At that time, i was playing like 30 games/day LOL. The software was so slow.
When my BR reached 1k i moved it to FTP. Started playing 10s and losing alot.
So i decided to transfer $200 to PS and grind 3.5s to gain confidence.

Since January im only playing on stars. My current BR is 6k. I just withdraw almost all my FTP BR.

So, i should be playing 60s with 6k BR now. But im such a nit. I played 15s for 2 month, and i cant even beat 30s right now.

Lets hope i can do it this/next month and move to 60s.
Will try to update at least once a week with graphs etc.

Mental game:

One of my biggest weakness is TILT. I do tilt so easily and most of the times i dont even know why. Thats the reason i ALWAYS decline a remach. Dont even matter if i lost or won the match.
I feel like, losing 3/4 games in a row to the same person is a LOT worse "in my mind" than losing to different people.
I know thats a big leak and i have to work on that. I dont even remach agains HUGE donks. LOL. This prevents me from adapting to my opponents too. =/

Well, im going home now.
Will try to play a lot today.

Run good guys.

Hey there. Here is a hand from today:

PokerStars - $29.37+$0.63|10/20 NL (2 max) - Holdem - 2 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BB: 440 (VPIP: 70.40, PFR: 53.57, 3Bet Preflop: 26.47, Hands: 145)
Hero (SB): 560

Hero posts SB 10, BB posts BB 20

Pre Flop: (pot: 30) Hero has A A

Hero raises to 40, BB calls 20

Flop: (80, 2 players) 3 J 8
BB checks, Hero bets 40, BB calls 40

Turn: (160, 2 players) 6
BB checks, Hero bets 90, BB calls 90

River: (340, 2 players) T
BB bets 270 and is all-in, Hero calls 270

Spoiler:
Villain was really agressive overall. I just dont think he have a flush here (most likely raising OTF).
Jx raise OTF on such a wet flop.
When he calls OTT i thought to my self, "he has 8x, im shipping any non-8 river".
When he ships OTR im confused. Q9cc? Busted club flush draw? .


Spoiler:

"#@#$ it, i have aces".
BB shows K 8 (One Pair, Eights) (Pre 12%, Flop 18%, Turn 11%)
Hero shows A A (One Pair, Aces) (Pre 88%, Flop 82%, Turn 89%)
Hero wins 880

Ill admit i called because i got no time left, and couldnt find a hand that makes sense. (maybe T8?).

Thinking now, he does not represent much with his shove, but really nice that he can turn 8x into a bluff in this spot (i guess)


Run good guys

Hey Tetsuo,

Great thread, I'm hoping to follow in your footsteps (just starting out at the $1.50's). Volume has been a problem for me too, I have a full time job so I try to get some games in after work but I struggle to play more than 30.

Anyway good luck with your goals.
