Hey there,

I've decided to make a blog to account for myself, recently I've had to use my bankroll to pay for a full new roof for a house I have. This has led me to drop back down stakes, I have decent profit from this house and it was a much-needed investment. I could have got the roof fixed but it just made sense to get a brand new one and add value to the property. So now my main goal here is to make a nice bankroll and never spend any of it. This has always been my problem and I think it's time to change that!

Goals

Climb back to NL100 quickly as I can
Have a more healthy diet
Exercise regularly
Meditation (tough one to implement)
Study 1-2 hours a day with wizard
Get a sample at NL200

For this month I,m mostly going to be concentrating on high volume and studying the BB vs BTN and BvB spots using the gto wizard which is an amazing tool, by the way, highly recommended. Nl25 is the stake that hurts a little but whatever. gl

The first grind is in and I'm happy with my volume I also tried to shoot NL50 but didn't get lucky. I'm going to make a bankroll rule that I don't move up till I have 1.8k from this point on if I drop to 1.5k I move down.

Can check back KQs on this flop after I reviewed in GTO wizard but think it's fine to have a higher frequency cbet at these stakes with people not defending enough, obv it's better to have a BDFD to go with it. Not sure what you think?

last night and today I've smashed my studying time with way over 3 hours studying my hands in the solution, made some mistakes but overall not too bad.

Some hands
1


This combo is a pure check nearly, to me in-game it seemed the perfect combo to bluff with. Not sure why this combo checks and AdTh is preferred here any thoughts guys?

2



2 Made a sizing mistake here compared to the wizard OTR but not too bad play maybe

3


4


4 Again we should go much larger OTR here not even sure why I choose this size!

5


Nit I am OTR here, ILL ship it next time

6


This one took a little time to work out why AT is a check here but AJ bluffs, think its cos we block draws like T9s.

Hands so far since 10th 10,159... Time to grind some gl

Had lots of hands to review after the session and started to feel tired towards the end. Looking forward to getting a decent RB challenge from stars next month, only got 5 x 125 points for 10$ dollars so have to settle for the standard RB this month.

How do you post graphs as a pic and not a link?

Hmm 1/2pot sizeing is preferred on these flops if u play once size only, betting flop more often then you should seems fine, A turn should have a lot of block sizeing atleast with 1/2pot flop, barelling big with no heart is prob kinda bad, river jam is nice

GL moving up!

Hey, not the best update in terms of hours played and studying but I kind of felt tired with playing/studying much last 4 days so decided to make it an easy day. Feeling much more refreshed today because of it, excited for gto wizard to release lessons and stats for the overall game soon. Gonna be nice to get some idea of why the solver does and not just trying to memorize spots. I've never been good with the whole video library, I'm more of a guy that needs a structured course for studying. Been looking around and don't see any solver courses to buy rn.

thanks for the input sir, yeh river is the only decent play

Hey, took another shot at 50 today and won a few stacks which were always welcome. Played a decent amount of volume and also and studied some, enjoying the grind atm battling it out in zoom, and occasionally watching 500z. Think it's good to study in tough games but I have no desire to keep playing zoom further up stakes, but it could be something to consider if we could get the highest RB of 65%. Get really hooked on the wizard, it's good to get the solution so fast and the practice mode is great. Gonna have a look at the new range builder tomorrow see how it is.

good day grinders,

Not going good atm swinging up and down as usual lately, can't seem to avoid KK vs AA. I remember my backer saying to me once wow you get KK vs AA more than anyone I've seen haha, a while later now still seems to be the trend but whatever I can take it!
Diet is going as planned completely cutting out the Junk and also quit weed a couple of weeks, started to feel much better. It was a grumpy ride adapting and dealing with life naturally but I think it's for the best. The first week I was trying to find any reason to go out and buy one but I managed to fight it off, worst thing about quitting is the night sweats and the dreams.
