videos i wanna c move up nit!!! or let me move you up already**

Hehe they are scheduled to be published sometime in August. It's just me 4tabling NL2 zoom and talking strat in Czech bro, doubt its gonna help you much But the letting you move me up I'll def wanna talk about as soon as I'm done with exams. Was gonna nit it up at NL2 just for fun but then I thought of game2eazy calling me out so I managed to put in a monstrous 273 hand sesh:



Almost feel dumb even posting that ish, but that's all the volume I managed to get in today Mostly reg tables and a bit of zoom in there.

wish i made 20 dollar per 250 hands

Last 2 days I barely got in any solid play. Mostly just messing around in between studying on my laptop. HUD-less there so I don't wanna play higher than NL5 on it, which is why only 550 hands of my volume are actually NL10.



Godmoding NL5 and running meh at NL10. Been running quite a bit under EV since I started this thread, but its kinda hard to run over EV when my average all in equity is 66%.

Very close to being done with school and then I can really start the grind. Month shaping up quite nicely so far though despite the terrible volume:

Month looking good bro I answer u ? On Skype when I found out a way to explain it better

Thanks man. I didn't get anything on Skype but coincidentally I watched a vid on DC where they explained the concept, so I got it now. Thanks a lot anyway, maybe I'll get your message sometime

Got in a super quick morning session while making & eating breakfast (thats how desperate I am to get in hands atm):



Wasting all my rungood on NL5 ldo. Def planning on getting in a session of NL10 reg in the evening though.

gl sir and i never got around to it my bad! but glad u got it ...

GL for rebuild from the micro I'm in the same situation, I was reg up to NL400€ few years ago.
You seem crushing, you should climb the limit easily, I will be following you.
And nice may graph by the way.
GLHF

Gotcha, np man. Thanks and gl to you too

Thanks a lot. Shoot me a PM (if you already have PM rights) with your skype or something if you wanna talk sometime. Always glad to discuss strat/hands with people in a similar position.

Will be interesting to follow as I'm planning to do something similar after the exams

GL

Thanks and gl to you too. Let me know how it goes.

Really wanted to play another session today at NL10 reg tables but when I opened up a few tables (which takes soooo painfully long if you're trying to find decent tables w/o at least 4 19/16 TAGs) and played for a few min my computer started spazzing. Was up a BI when everything started lagging and caused me to time out in a 3bet pot vs a fish where I had AQ on QQ8x. Tilted me so badly that I just had to quit today. Also spewed off a BI at NL2 trying to fix the issue, so I'm virtually exactly where I was after the morning session. TILT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

iPoker VIP freeroll also not going v well, down to 1k from 2k starting going on 50/100. Will prob bust soon, but if I somehow manage to come back and win anything I'll obv update here.

I've been following this whole thread and really impressed with you moving up so quickly.

What would you say are some of the major reasons for you moving up so quick and crushing?

I'm a losing player and envy people that can crush so well any tips would gladly be appreciated.

Thanks man. I actually spent much more time at each limit that I could/should have, so I don't really feel like I've moved up very quickly. Most likely moving up through uNL isn't too hard for me because I've done it before. I doubt I'm doing anything special. The key is to play as many pots against the fish (preferably in position) and value bet relentlessly, while playing more aggro against the TAG regs who are gonna be extremely straightforward.

Not really sure what advice I could give you w/o knowing how you play, but if you're not beating the micros chances are you're playing too tight and not valuebetting enough. If you have a few spare $ to spend I'd recommend buying BlackRain79's "crushing the microstakes" (or something like that) or getting a subscription to some site that has a lot of videos specifically from NL2-10. Gl

Played a bit of NL5 zoom on the iphone and did pretty well. Then tried to find a few decent reg tables and it takes foreeeeever. Finally got a few good tables with the jesus seat on a 90/33 whale and a 43/18 fish. Flopped a set vs one of them who donks 100% and folds to raises 0%:

Reg table pain continues. Thanks Stars!!! Managed to break even at NL10 and called it quits. Too f tired from studying so much Only a few more days. Boring giraffe for today:

he tripple range merged you!

Morning session... Give me a **** break stars



Set over set and top 2 vs straight in 3bet pots, then lost 200bb pot with 70% equity ott at the end. FU

Not gonna lie, NL10 has not been fun these last days. Had the best hand at showdown like twice. KK<AA, AKs<AA, set over set a bunch of times. Oh yea 6 BI under also not helping.

Meh didn't want this thread to be too whiny but just couldn't help myself. Gotta vent. Anyway, I'm self-excluded for a week because of exams and just a huge need of a week off after getting raped in every possible way at the tables.

PT4 constantly spazzing also doesn't help at all. Gla

Exams passed, thesis successfully defended and self-exclusion period on PS over. I'm back and pretty motivated. First session today went fine:



Everything from NL2 to NL10, mostly NL5.

After getting raped at NL10 before the break, this feels quite nice. Bad news is that my PC's hard drive busted, so I'm playing on my smallish Mac now. Probably gonna buy a new PC in the next couple of days. HUD doesn't work on Macs though for zoom which is pretty annoying. Feels good to be playing again. Gla

hey man really nice journal - crushing

im also on the 10nl stars zoom tables atm, i'm sure we will have played each other. pm me if you wanna know my skype info.

ps. getting my blog up and running again in the next day or 2 so please stop by and say hello

Nice comeback man,u slept that downswing pretty hard as it deserves!Keep climbing !

Thanks. I'll have to figure out if I wanna play NL10 without a HUD until I get my new PC set up. Right now I've just been messing around at NL5. I'll drop by your thread later.

Thanks man, but downswing actually still slapping me. Recovered about 65% of the losses though, playing lower so I can't complain.

Played a quick morning session:



All NL5. Raking in them Sklansky $$$. Gem of the day so far:

I didn't have that hand in your range sir, wp. Watched a video on 3betting strat as well, was quite interesting. Will play more throughout the day.

Played a bunch more but actually ended the day a bit over a BI below the high point. Still decent day where I also got $11 in RB. NL10 downer almost defeated:



On another note, I was fortunate enough to find a backer, so I'm now staked. This allows me to not have to regrind back from NL2, because I have to use my previous roll to buy a new computer. I'm hopefully getting that next week and then I can really focus on crushing NL10/25 and higher.

Very nice sir keep up the good work it will pay off!!!

Thanks man. Let's not run like butt at NL10 next time i play it por favor.

Was frustratingly hovering around BE for most of the day. Then found some heat, almost lost it, and found some again. Gonna call it a day and do some cardio and then try to do 1-2 hrs of trying to work out some equity calcs.



Had to quit because I was 300bb+ deep on all tables w/o a HUD. Now I know how jungleman feels when he plays live.

[x] NL10 downswong recovered
[x] month back at peak
[x] amazing boobs are amazing

Played a quick morning session. Started off w/ NL10 and moved over to NL5 because it's just too tough to play w/o a HUD imo. Broke even so no point posting a graph. Did not run very good, but the mindset today was just awful. D-game at least, so no point in playing when I'm being a ******. Some hands from today:
