Thanks goes to KeithMM for a sweat session today. I feel more confident after talking with someone who can play.

I guess my hand history will take about 3 days to import. Seriously... <puke>.

A lesson about being balanced.

When i learned poker it was very simple at first glance.
I got my hand chart and sticked to it.
I saw that my opponents would fold to most of my raises, so i started bluffing as an aggrotard until they started calling.
Then i switched back to my hand chart.

I thought it was common knowledge. If opponents don't want to pay you off - take their pots. If they don't want to give up pots - bet better hands that they tend to have.

Later i started to gain more knowledge. Ranges, balancing and all that "difficult" things started to appear and i thought "hey, poker is a really complex game".

And it is. As complex as the player before you. When you figure out the player you figure out the game.

That being said... Do i really need to be balanced at the micros? Do i need to bluff every player, or do i need to call every player? (from time to time)

I guess even higher up the answer is quite simple.

DATABASES ARE TILTING ME!!!!

So...

After 10 days of absence from foruming i am back with good news and bad news.

Good news are that i will probably be staked and coached. Cant wait to learn.

Time for bad news.
Imported about 3M hands (db size ~50GB).
Something went bad and no graphs or stats. Even one day is loading endlessly.
Deleted DB. Started importing again and deleted again... This is really taking too long.
I realised that my drive need more space, cause postgesql cant rebuild cache if free space is less than size of that database.
So i need to format and resize my drive if i want to do it right.

By the way, my BR is a little over 120€, so things are looking good, but i am not satisfied with my game over last 2 days. I am drifting.

Where is that falling to ~&$ you mentioned after zoom crushed you ?

no

It was graph from nl2 normal tables. About zoom - i just got terrible session with many coolers and bad setups (and idiotic plays by me) and felt crushed inside.

Thats all there was to it.

GL OP!

Yea Agreed, 40$ will be tough to start grinding from.

Your post made me thinking how tough was my last 2 years.
Lol.

Paid my bills, bought some food and a whole 40€ is left for me to start this month with.


I also made a topic in theory subforum, but got only 1 response.
Maybe i should ask mods to move it to begginers?

Anyway, here it is

I doubt if anybody cares, but i got a staking deal this month.
After a coaching session my play seem to improve.
I think more, and play less tables, lol.

Thinking is not overrated in poker i guess.
