Great stuff, keep crushing!!!!!

Thanks

Month still a struggle, can seem to find much heat, volume hasnt been great either. Annoyed that I havent seen much improvement in myself as a player. Granted this may be down to the vast improvements ive made in recent previous months.

Gona grind hard next few days and hopefully finish the month well.

Played a good match @nl100 yesterday, some hands:

Must be nice:




HOLD!!






Wasnt too sure about this one in play cause im going to be getting looked light often, but meh AA is good.





Just added this to my cooldown mix

So much for that heat currently running 20 BI below ev for the month

i actually stopped looking at my EV line, would recommend doing the same

Will do at the end of the month, too tilted to look at it atm tried some 6max today, -600 below ev, warm welcome

I've also found that checking out my EV line only leads to neutral or negative feelings, so there have been periods of months where I never even checked it. My curiosity always gets the best of me at some point though

gl getting through the downer OP. stay strong

Thanks, confident im playing very well, I usually hate people who complain too much about ev lines, but at -26BI for the month finding it hard, cheers for the reminder guys, not gona check my results until the end of session(because I cant help myself) for the next week or so. This will be the last post where I complain about ev


Managed to Break even for the session the other day despite 900 below ev for the session. Left me feeling like this:



some interesting hands:

Vrs spewy reg, tanked for ages throughout each decision in the hand, so its not just clicking buttons I swear that being said I may still have butchered it. 100bb deep I just get it in on the flop, But against the range I get it in against/hands I fold out 200 deep I wasnt too happy. I originally chalked this down to a cooler so havent done any calcs but Turn could be a fold, but noone likes a folder. River I imagine he shuts down with all his bluffs/sets so tank donk jammed hehe.

Cliffs: im a fish






At first I was like lol well played, but ill have to have another look at this and see how often im folding etc as this may be ok from villain, not that I think his call pre is very good but I was 3 betting 35% and barrelling a good bit. Views?

June round-up

Failed to achieve all my Goals for June, pretty disappointing. Although some of them had to be changed due to massive changes in the life goals.

At the start of the month my goal was to find accommodation for Amsterdam, After doing some research it resulting in me deciding on Thailand instead.

I didn't shot 2/4 as Ive decided to grind 1/2 for awhile until I get my liferoll padded/settled in Thailand.

Didn't do enough work away from the tables, read most of Tiptons book but im still struggling with alot of the concepts, just starting Jandas book.

Got to knuckle down next month and pound this challenge ~5k to go.

Graph




Looks even worse in BB's as that accounts to 26 BI's below EV


Goals for July

[ ] Play 35k hands

[ ] Make 5k

[ ] Re-read Tiptons book, and finish jandas

[ ] Get settled in Thailand

Hopefully an insane heater is just around the corner

For now just gona relax and watch..



GL in July

first time hearing of that movie, gonna watch

gl, subscribed

Thanks,


Got some of that heat to start the month

some hh's please

Month still running pure, ~2k in the black. Funny how clouded your mindset gets in a heater, thoughts of having a 10k month are starting to loom hehe

Don't like posting hands unless there is something interesting happening, this is the best I can find so far:

Kinda revolting last few days, leaving me typing feeling pretty fed up with poker.

Really wanted to power through this month to pad the life roll but I guess poker just aint that easy.

Weather is amazing In Ireland, usually id be on the beers, sadly the swongs have led me to only want to grind.

Looks like this challenge my take me into Thailand after all

yea poker sux sometimes , hope you power through it (although not against me :P)
glgl!

Few hands over the last few days that had me scratching my head,

Vrs spewtard, so wasn't too unhappy with the Jam in play





Vrs what seemed to be a good reg, although anyone looks good with the nutters every hand.




This one was pretty funny, villain was pretty nitty, had folded to all of my 3 bets thus far, OTF im laughing at how good I run, on the turn I hate my life. Against a reg im v happy to get it in, against this guy tilt was probably a factor in the call




First hand vrs unknown





Gona work hard over the next few days, mainly just getting through Jandas book/work on some tilt issues.

sick life brotoni... a quote from the underrated Dr. Seuss always motivates me.

"I've heard there are trouble of more than one kind, some come from ahead, some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat.. I'm ready you see, now my troubles are going to have trouble with me!"

month so far giraffe?

Road to recovery! Im just spewing against you for future meta :P

Road to recovery!



All month i've had nothing but regs to play, patiently waiting for fish that never arrive, today was that day, and run face first into the mode of god.





Had a of going away BBQ party, one of my mates gets pissed and kicks in my door...



Life downswing

was godmoded today aswell at 2/4, so incredibly tilting when u can't win a pot.

Suddenly im losing for the month, getting smashed in the face harder than I can ever recall. Biggest downswing to date in terms of $.

Weirdly I think Im playing pretty well, I getting sick good board runouts for bluffs, just happen to keep running into the nut top of every villains range. Kinda having to detach myself from thinking "he obvs has the nuts" and think more logically. Although thats kinda hard when its all youre being shown

Told myself ill just bumhunt for awhile until I get my mindset together, but it takes so ****ing long to get any action it would just be ******ed to refuse a game.

Im also too ******ed to learn an advanced grasp of game theory, so hit a wall in my learning curve.

As you can tell im pretty pissed with poker atm.

dont worry about GTO just overbet the **** out of everyone mate

are you losing on NL200 much?

I've lost abit @NL200 this month, but only a few of BI's, its getting the action thats a problem only like 3k hands.

I think Im costing myself a decent amount of $ applying some "GTO" or at least balanced ranges against, fish/bad regs, its just Ive spent alot of time thinking about that line of thought and not so much on exploiting the **** outta them.

As a result I think my ranges are far from the most profitable ones vrs most of my opponents, so I could be playing "badly", Ill have to put some thought into it over the next few days.

Things still going rough, although looking at a few other threads kinda puts it into perspective.

Next few weeks ill start sharpening up my mental game and work pretty hard on math, that combined with moving should make it a busy few weeks

Last weekend in Ireland, will be messy.

Some hands in the cooler fest


Standard of late, the first pump snap call, oh .....so tilting aswell, this guy was obvs a fish and typed in "" after the hand, as if he had trapped me so well, its like "bro you could have open shoved pre and I would have had my pants down whilst making the call".





Mbn





speewu, Villains fold to 3bet was 18% and barreled a ton, so thought Id let him barrel off 100% of his super wide flatting range, jammed turn to shut out the reasonable equity all his draws/bluffs have. But upon looking at it I realize flop and turn logic coincide, cut a long story short im a whale.





Vrs one of my non poker playing friends who discovered he still had some money in his account, anyone in the world but this guy I probably snap pretty quickly and chalk it up to a cooler, but this guy is just a tard when it comes to poker. Nice board runout though

(he showed K10ss FWIW)

Played no poker over the last few days, moving out of old house/packing bags/partying with friends have left little time for poker.

Had a crazy weekend, went out for a couple of pints on Friday, returned home Sunday night

Now in Dublin Airport about to board my flight to Phuket.

Will update with photos of where I'm staying etc when I arrive.

Wish me luck!
