Third losing day in a row, which hurts a bit. Been making some changes with mu game and trying new things out, hopefully the short-term result wont discourage my from keep on trying.

What was even more ridicilous with todays graph, is that I started sitting out right before the 13 buyin drop at the end. Obv got setup and kinda ruined my mood.

Month so far:

Not running very well but this is pretty standard for plo. Just got to make sure I do my best. I ran ~20 buyins above ev in january so it might even out.

just a matter of time buddy!

love this quote and starting to like following this thread, rooting for ya.

No doubt .

That quote popped up on my facebook line yesterday and I got struck by the similarity with my thread. Maybe its a sign.

I hope you enjoy the thread. I would like to bring more to it, discussions and strategy, mental game and non-poker topics aswell but Im not quite sure if its worth putting up here at this time. I would like to have something to back it up before I would go deeper into things.

Didnt get to play too much today, but looking to keep grind on the mind for next week. Hoping to reach 150k vpps by the end of feb.

suddenly WITH all-in ev graph?

just kidding, gl. hope you wont start running as ****ty as me

Felt like I needed some love after one of the ****tier sessions . If were both running bad, whos taking all the money except Charlybumbum and Wuhuvlieuu? (I think these two wins the most in different terms of "winning").

I have admittedly been running good. But I cant help that some regs just hand over their monies. Villain is an eastern european reg. I like how he made the right decision at every point in the hand, despite them all beeing super close...

I dont think you are running good or bad ever, I think you just crush the game utterly hard .

Well, you cant blame him for raising the flop. He had a blocker to the nuts and a potential backdoor quads... All those things add up imo.

Played two long sessions and the action last night was crazy. Thought it would end painfully after hitting -10 buyins at 5k hands but managed to stick to it and profit.

Made some major changes in my game recently and Im pretty much looking forward to each post-session review to see how well Im actually doing with the things Im trying out.

Tomorrow will be a decent sized day aswell and hopefully I can keep the momentum.

When I saw the ''Eastern Europe'' part, was expecting a hand where u pwn me hard, but luckily this wasn't vs me


GL Victor, nice stack you won vs me today with those queens!

Got lucky you made a hand there . Hope your doing well.

Happy in general with my game today. Lost focus around 3.4k hand mark and it kinda showed when I dropped 8 buyins over 300 hands. It was just IRL stuff taking my mind off the grind. Should just sit out instead and deal with whatever disturbs me.

nice to see you're doing good the past few days! guess I wont get to see you and charly so often anymore, I've decided to grind on zoom where I believe the field is softer and the timing will be more flexible for me. I can decide when I want to play instead of reg warring at the ring games.

On a side note to charly and viktor, what do you think of razdavay's? He's been crushing and running really good before I moved to zoom.

Thank you, last couple of days has been good to me.

Razdavay seem overly aggro this far to me, not saying its good or bad by any means. Ive gotten more restricted passing judgement too quickly since Im most often wrong and the player is the opposite of what I thought.

Not a very good day. Didnt do the warmup properly and my focus during the sessions wasnt there. If I stop doing the simplest, smallest things that puts me in a good state, this wont last. So looking to relax tonight and do some study before bed.

Tomorrow will be better.

Played alot better then yesterday, but still made alot of errors. Did some study prior to first sessions and pinpointed some areas I needed to focus on and Im happy I did better in those today.

Looking to play a ton during the end of february. Will be putting up the video in the weekend.

'Razdavay' means 'deal (cards)' (imperative) in Russian, so I assume he's LAG without even facing him at the tables

Ur lucky that Im such a station! :P

The good days will keep coming viktor!

Rock it

Didnt run good at all but managed to recover it at least. Had half-day off and tomorrow will be somewhat similar, maybe even less volume.

Took saturday off, got home late and too tired to play 2-3 hours so went ahead and relaxed instead. Sunday will be a full day with recharged batteries.

As I suspected, getting back on the grind after a day off is hard. It only takes one day to make myself get ouf of the "zone" and not being able to play longer sessions without getting tired/losing focus. So I got to consider todays volume as ok at least. Hopefully ramping it up tomorrow and next day off wont be for a while.

i like reading those quotes Def like the daily updates as well just to see what goes on through your mind for the day how much hours do you put in daily Luis?

GL!!

I like the quotes too, especially since I can relate to them. I think a good quote makes you think a little bit at least.

I like having daily updates but Im also dissapointed that I dont elaborate more into hands, thoughts or strategy. But I think for now, Im just too busy with playing/study/occacional coaching. But I hope to being able to produce more qualitive updates when I find the energy.

I guess I play 5-10 hours a normal day, study 1-3 hours. Its flexible though depending on what goes on outside poker. Im actually joining a spanish language course on wednesday that goes on for 2 hours each wednesday for 10 weeks, which will be fun since I really want to be able to understand/speak spanish.

I really admire your progress, and I think I wrote early on in your thread that theres no doubt you will make your desires come trough. Happy to see how well your doing .

Cool, seems like you put in a lot of hours studying; your dedicate inspires me as well. I do remember you saying that, actually was reading through the thread again to read people's advice, and reflect back on how things were. Lots of things that people said to me, didn't make sense to me at the time but now that I've gotten a bit older its starting to connect more, and some were solid advice, some not. Majority were though.

So it seems like you try to push for 60-70 hours a week? That's really amazing. I believe remembering you were saying in a swedish site, do you now play on another other sites?!

I definately think you are in the at the positive side of "change". Change is inevatible, but most people mistake change for progress. Change isnt an automatic way to get better at something, it can also have a downward spiral. But if people want a documentation of a way to grow, not only as a poker player but as a person too, they should visit your thread for sure. Its full of guidance for those who struggle.

As you said, looking back on earlier posts and see how much you progressed is a great affirmation that your doing something right .

Im trying to play 50+ hours each week, but so far my weeks has been differing around 40-65. I play at stars, going for SNE, so that allows me to play whatever hours I like, compared to the swedish site where you kinda had to adjust to the traffic, which was mainly evenings/nights.
