1) I am very unhappy about my yesterday game btw. At nl400 I had clear Shove Jam AI on the River but somehow was afraid of going for full stack. SUPER SUPER LAME REASON:


2) Yuppi I got my database back!!

Finally some BPC graphs.
Sick effort and great results!
How much are you in touch with Gordon these days (strategy wise)?

I am not from BPC I've paid my deal 1.5 year ago and I am on my own.
I am not in touch with Gordon since then. So it's not BPC graph

Thanks for nice words but I wouldn't say that my results are sick.
I see on daily basis how much commitment pays off with my friends results, those are real killers. However I am not ready to sacrifice as much as them so I have what I have Or it's also possible that I BS myself and could do much better, while having good relationships with family, friends, nice realationship and nice life. Which is a case most often. Anyway I am glad I am better than I used to be. And I am glad my winrate increase even though I move up higher, still no higher than nl1k so not a big deal but still.

Given the 10/bb winrate, do you only bumhunt HU? Not saying it's wrong, we are here to make money, but do you ever do battles with regs? How much has HU died? last few times I tried to play I had 6+ poker rooms open and sometimes still never got a fish in my whole day + had to battle for lobbys. Kind of sad really. I can't imagine how lonely must it be to have open lobbys @1k and getting no action from fishes for 2 weeks etc.. this probably does happen right?

But gl, nice results man! keep pushing

@N0M3RCY
Hey I started to play HU 3-4years ago and it was "dead" ever since so I don't know
No way I would have enough action playing nl100+ without reg fights, yeah I do fight, there are still plenty of fish but most of them try to keep lobby and fight till death
Saying that to be fair I do not do reg fights at nl600 and nl1k, because it's still not my level. I do fight some nl400 and this is why this month was quite nice. Saying that it's not like I can beat anyone on those stackes. NL1k for Bumbhunting is weird, either you have fish who joins with 20-30bb that I am not playing that well and leave when doubled or reg joins... So you wait 2 weeks for 1 guy who hit and run you or you win 20bb. Not so fun afterwars



Had very nice month. My hands were shacking from excitemnt I've earned 13 560k Euro Playmoney this month after expenses, hard to say how much on average I spend because I simply don't care, buy everything what I want, doing private BJJ trainings most often twice weekly, doing physical theraphy each weak and so on. Manged it with 127h and 49min playing for this month. There is a ton of ****s I have to improve at my game but overall I am excited about month. Playmoney are always nice!

Damn was happy like a child. Still very hard for me to bluff River in 3bet Spots at nl1k or so. I mean putting all your money, on some of those spots are super, super profitable but waiting for them to fold..... :O Anyway was soo hapy when he folded....

.

Couldn't sleep, was moving at my bed for 1.5h decided to wake up and grind 7.5h session, lately had some travels so I am still down when it comes to grind hours needed. Anyway till the end of the month not playing nl600 and nl1k. Today won like 20 BI at nl100 (what is a good thing), won like 2-3BI at nl200 and lost 8BI at nl1k and 3 and nl600, certainly not a way to do it. Got busto at one poker room, so though **** that ****. I am start to tilting when someones join in at nl600 because this month is like this (not a way to do it, def better to win at high and lose at low) so I am going to calm down grinding and chill till the end of the month.

Print Playmoney GOGOGOGOGOGOGO:

just read through this thread. Gogo! Update more and keep crushing!

Awesome thread! So where are you still getting this hu action, other than from PokerStars?

@beef666
Thanks. I am gonna keep crushing About more updates, not sure it will be doable like before. I am just doing way more stuff so have less time for other stuff, anyway here and there will post update

@Ikillpikachu
Thanks! Since most poker rooms have KOTH now action is not a problem, lately I have a lot a lot of action at party, since they change it, it's sooo juicy a lot of good action at nl500 (that is bellow nl600, which I don't play till this month)

Sometimes variance has other plans for your session than you:


I am proud of being disciplined while playing it.

The moment when you start session and doomswitch button was pressed:



Yesterday after grinding very well for 9h STRAIGHT, yeah STRAIGHT VERY WELL GAME, I've managed to lose like 6 BI in 30 min what made me quit session, even though I would keep going. 2nd session started with losing 3 BI, same like today first session, while the 2nd sesssion today is like -3BI in first 5 min. And this during first session today...


Anyway I am glad to say that even those stuff made me quit I was able to handle 26h of grind in last three days, while keep grinding my 2nd session for today. Sometimes poker is brutal but how I feel about it won't change a ****, gotta keep working on skill, mindset and grinding I feel bad for Fiance who has to keep listening to my not so calm reactions for a) tilt tiggers b) letting myself to control my emotional states be dictated by something beside me. Anyway I am going back to grinding, gl at the tables and keep crushing!

After losing 4 more BI I had rage quit, at least will work more on game

Are you just doing private bjj classes? if so, why?

I think you should add some group classes as well (if you're not already doing this) because imo, rolling with different people with different styles and skill levels is great for developing.

Yup, and try different coaches also. We had 2 different coaches for BJJ, one for technique and other for combat/condition + brought a third coach into game before competition.

All had their perks and cons, but the one for condition/technique was a complete lunatic and never took no for an answer, which is of course great in the long run, because he pushes you 120% every training. I could come completely sore into training, thinking I won't be able to do even move today and 15 minutes in I was already on fire. These are the coaches you really want.

However, our kickboxing trainer was probablly even worse than the lunatic from BJJ and we had a great connection in the end. That guy bonded with you through utter mental and physical destruction that I can't even explain. He was great in a sense that he knew exactlly how much and when to push you, as if he could see into your soul and character. We rarely spoke, but almost had this father/son connection in the end, because both of us knew what the **** our character and mentality was about. Too bad he left after a year or so, but he did make me a man in that year lol, will never forget how much he meant to me.

Thanks guys for your input and feedback! Yeah I am doing 1/1 with coach. Since this week I stopped for like month because I have to focus on something way more important, than just my hobby and I don't have time for doing poker, GF, and 5 other things so will go back to it once I am steady and ready to train again.

@N0M3RCY
I got what you mean about this bond. I had awesome bond with my computer programing teacher. He really teach me many amazing things that changed me, those were awesome lessons, that goes beyond just programing.

There are soo many stuff I have to improve at my game, I clearly see while battling higer. I see how much stuff I do not know, how much my ranges are messed, how bad I do shift my ranges based on reads and I am glad I see it all. I gotta be focused on all of it. It was weird when in like hour I've lost like 3-4k Euro. Anyway you always got two sides of one coin.

Of course I am not positng bad graphs!

Last week had bachelor party, didn't grind that much for like 3 day. After I came back with fiance we installed heroes 3 and we spend like ******s two days playing heroes, it was sick. I was even runing to home to play session.... I am even more adicted to those stuff than I was a child I guess. Anyway we beat the **** out of computers on hardest level and we removed it. Yupi......


So whole month was amazing, except last three - four days..... I would say that anihiliation is not enough to describe it so will post graphs from 3 rooms from just today.....





Overall last 4 days I guess I could lose even like 8k euro. Whole month went smothly unmtil those days... Tomorrow I am going to do some review with those, today unfortunately I had enough and I failed to do anything beside grind. Shame on me. Anyway tomorrow I am going to check those, not sure is it because sleeping for like 5h last 4 days or because of variance. I have to find out. Because of this anihiliation booked profit of only around 2k Euro Playmoney. On top of that I've spend like another 2-3k euro on some stuff beside normal living costs. So if I would stop playing 4 days ago and pay punishemnt for lack of grind I could even have like 14-16k month if I wouldn't spend money besides living cost. Anyway it is how it is and I gotta check how much I ****ed up. Gl at the tables and keep crushing

As they say, picture shows more than 1000 words:


I am about to ready to go for nl1k and higher. Still not skill wise but definetely when it comes to BR and to mindset I am about to get ready. I am glad because as I see me holding lobbies at nl400 or so, it seems for me that it's only like half year of dedicated work that I am doing (half doing, half ****ing around) and I'll be ready for way more.

It's the next day that I am getting beating like that with guys with super high frequencies and I am doing hard but right calls, even when I am losing. I hope that I am proved myself to variance that I've learned that lesson. If she still doesn't believe me it's fine, I'll do my best. Won't be perfect just will be doing my best. Losing few days in a row for two weeks is as good as losing every 2nd day for 4 weeks. I guess I kind of learned what variance wanted for me to learn, but if not I am open for it and I am going to do my best.

Anyway I am graetful that at Tuesday commitments ends. I am going to go my best while hanging out with my fiance (she's traveling because of her work) so I gotta spend some quality time with her but there is only 5 days left of commitments. I am glad that I was doing 8h session today, even though after I've though it's turned out and I got beated. Sometimes you just got beated. It's natural. Anyway gl at the tables !

It seems I am not ready mentally.
Allready did rage quit.

Did light call, not sure it's bad though. Called with Top Set on dry board with Flush on to min raise All IN vs River Cbet in 3bet Pot 110bb deep.
For those commits I am done with being ambitious.
Will do as little as possible to get the job done and have a rest.

That time when you are pushing yourself into 9h session after and want to be ambitious before end of committments and then reality check for your amibitions:

So it's fine. I am not going to grind poker for a while, have a **** load of stuff to do, was just focusing on grind to finish commitments and now have plenty of life stuff going on.
My life is becoming something that I was dreaming about when I was 18-20 years old. I wasn't aware of all the additional hussle that comes with it but I am happy. Tomorrow in like 3h will end my commitments, then will eat clean diet and take 8h of sleep and it's done. Sad that it ended that way but what can you do. It started to impact my game so break will be amazing thing.

Whats up. Doing good. Running bad. Happens.
Two funny hands :



Lately it's been very chaotic and crazy.
In a month I've had (or I am going to have in the future):
Bicycle trip to Germany
2 weedings,
Father BD,
Trip to Hong Kong,

On top of that I am going to Peru at December.
It's been chaotic as **** and lately I am working to embrace it and get use of it rather than fight it.
My life is going to be like that, on top of those stuff I am having one big project going on.

Never had such a long doswning streak (doing review since 01/08/2017 (because I have downswing for like two months now).
Didn't saw too many big mistakes at 20bb+ pots but I am going to look for them.
I am going to change a bit my grinding routine, more breaks, no more 6-8h in a row sessions.
Going steady through all big and middle pots, going through all villains that I was b/e or losing after big sample.
A lot of work in front of me and I am grateful for it because I am going to see where I am making a mistakes under huge pressure.

Funny that I almost don't drink, but today decided that I am going to do session review with nice whisky on the rocks.
Today did 3 big spews (one for 240bb deep) so I gotta adjust my way of doings thnigs during that time.

Just caught back up with your thread , glad to see your doing well and working hard . The downswing will end and will make you better . Hit me on Skype some day !
