if someone could suggest/borrow/sell some spread****s for keeping track of bankroll across multiple rooms i would be very grateful

sup guys

i've played couple of sessions without any real result. not running great, losing every important coinflip etc but I cashed some so it's not that bad.

yesterday I overall played pretty bad in the peak time, got tilted a lot with winamax software issues, especially when I busted all of my higher buyins and 5 minutes later they canceled all tournaments (allegedly ddos attacks). also didn't slept so great night before since I played some live poker up to 7am. had decent shot on a session saver on .es hot50 but couldn't pick up any hand when it mattered.

i like these type of hands so I'll just post it
https://www.boomplayer.com/28849378_163DB5E459

this was probably most important hand on direct ft bubble
https://www.boomplayer.com/28849463_E4C93CDD1A

i really like my play here, turn is probably only point in the hand where fold should be considered but villain is pretty solid and on this turn he can put a ton of pressure on my Kh/Ah/2x and it opens a bdfd so I'm fine with the peel. river is a fistpump shove imo with my hand, blocking 34 and unblocking fds and putting considarate ICM pressure on solid guy( there were 2-3 under 15bb stacks at the time) , he tanked 15 seconds with J6 so that speaks for itself. i just can't get trough this spot to be a CL and close the timbey pretty easy but I couldn't do much more. finished 5th or smt for 600e

------------

did went to a live game on Saturday - had to pickup some money from friend who runs it and saw couple good spots at the table so I jumped in. it's NL100 or w/e but effectivly it was obv larger, straddles/double straddles/missisipi straddles etc. i'm not so into live poker scene altough it's insanely soft, but I just don't feel great when I see how much rake they scoop from the pots.

anyway, biggest spot on the table was guy that I never saw before, but like in first 3 hands or so he had some really crazy plays, like bluffing a guy on very scary river with 8x pot shove etc (later I found out he's veeery rich) I bought in for 200eu or so ( there were 2 500e+ stacks and other around 2 hundo) and quickly got it up to 1k, was fortunate to hit one big set in mw3bpot and later clean another spot with couple of pretty easy bluffcatches.

will share couple of hands... so that splashy guys double straddles (4e), get couple of limps and I make it 30 with KJs. he calls + one more call, flop is J53 rainbow, i make it 50 only he calls. turn is a 4, and as I know this guy is peeling like 50%+ pre I bet 80 ott just to get more value from w/e, I saw him already folding to pot close bets ott. river is a Q, he donks 250e and i snap call and he says 'good call' and mucks.

he then started occasionally open raising (/blind raising ) 40-100 vs limps, and then we got this hand. guy with 100eu opens to 8, 2 calls (both pretty deep and very wide ranges) , I look at 99 and as the spot was straddle I was contemplating flatting and then shoving vs his squeeze but decided that I can't take that chance and play 12515 way pot with nines so I squeezed to 40. spot snapflats , opener calls (?!?!?). flop is QQ7rb, pot is 120e, checked to me I cbet really small, 15e or so, he insta makes it 80 (side note, 90% of time he's insta betting/raising) opener folds, I peel. turn is 2, still rainbow , he makes it 150 and this is turning point imo vs such spewy guy since I know he'll shove the river, so I decide to call it off, call turn, he instajams river i call pretty fast and he shows Q5s. obv not so good if he has all of Qs combos.

he now has like 1.8k and is still down ~200eu ( couple of nits did hit&run with him and left when I sat down unfortunately ). anyway, now I don't plan to ever leave the game while he's in, it's really absurdly good spot to be in especially when he's all elated and drinking 1 beer per 15 min. an hour later he starts blind raising 70eu preflop 5/6 hands, and I see guys at the table folding 77 / A9s with 300eu stacks etc, really uber soft game it was. I'm picking up all 93o combos possible and really hoping for any decent hand to limp/jam, get KTo very easy 400e jam vs 100% OR, he folds and I start printing that way. at this point in game there is no purpose of openraising any hand / vpiping with anything that wont jam vs his blind raises, but overall amazing spot to be in.

anyway, multiple limps, I limp KQdd, he raises 100e, everyone folds and I snapjam my 450e or so. he thinks for 30s+ and calls. I asked him what he has and he says ''Are queens good?" , and I said I need a king. Now I'm not believing him that he has QQ since 30s tank but w/e. We're not showing our hands, and then comes most aweful flop I ever saw : A75ss, turn is 6s, river is Ts. I table my KQdd and he says ''It's good'' and mucks

edit


Later he blindjammed 500 remaining euros and I had the luck to pick up AJs and that's the end. I went to pick up 150e and ended +800 so it was really good Saturday.

i kind of fked up my freeroll mostly because I had one big wedding and then traveled some. I did couple of runs and did excersises 3-4 times a week so I guess I didn't failed complety. i'll send 20$ to each freeroll runner, u can hmu via pm with stars nicknames.


so not much happened pokerwise after the last update. i've played a little bit, lost some I guess but not much I could do about it. didn't played my A game much, was feeling some type of pressure because first time ever I'm playing online on my own dime so I kind of overreacted at first 2 sessions or so ( played either too tight or too aggro ) but I think I'm on the right path now. have played session yesterday and I'm really not satisfied how Ive performed. i guess i need my own home routine to get in the flow with MTTs so I'll try to not play much MTTs online / play lower when i'm 'on the road' and focus more on cashgames during that time since my travel buddies are all cashgame players and I can get a ton of info instantly, and I can't talk much mtt start with em which is boring af ( who the f wants to talk donkaments strat tho )

i'm in berlin atm, i really like the vibe of the city. solid weed, good food and reaaally good beer. will look to get OOL in some club or so, we went to some harder techno place few nights ago but we smoked too much weed before and you can't take knife to a gunfight so it was not that great. any suggestions about clubbing could come in hand. still thinking about going into the berghaim but the whole /wait 2-3 hours and then maybe not get in thing/ isn't so appaling. i'll do proper berlin update with pics when I come back to serbia.

ive never been there but heard about berghaim, would still give it a shot if i were you. but yeah you can find a lot of other options too, berlin is heaven for clubbin/techno

https://www.residentadvisor.net/events/de/berlin
there is some places/events, i couldnt pick one lool


gg on freeroll, still better than 0 work.
pretty sure poker will settle once your brain etc get used to it u play own dime. im pretty sure it will be more entertaining to play offstake too

will do proper berlin/goals update later/tommorow, until then :

hmu via pm with neteller for free 20$. payed out other 2.

Hi Nomalice,
Nice thread you have. Greetings from a country neighbor next to you in the east Very nice roi with that abi, congrats. Looking forward to up all up. I am in the same boat as you in 2015, when you started blogging, but I am not sure that if I can beat 2.5 180 or 1.5 25 and similar for now and a little bit more mature /maybe/. Hopefully one day I will have the same graph as you, mine is in downswing as of now.
I read that you are in Berlin and I am wondering how do you find in general the people and their lives in "rich" country compared to ours in "poor" rs/bg /we are the same imo/?

Sorry for responding late, but please donate the $20 to some charity of your choice or something like that.

what up

long time no see

ive had really great time in last month or so after last update, altough I've lost bunch on poker both online and live but I was far away from my normal routines and schedules, did some improvements on my house (still have some workers finishing up) and now i'm back to my nest and ready to put in the work and hours.

Berlin

so, me and couple of friends ( pekson included ) went to berlin to our schwabensie friend and spent like 10 days in his flat in the downtown. it was really amazing expirience, like the vibe of the city and the people in it is really great. as I can write too many sentences about this and I wanna talk a lil bit about poker and then grind later I'll try to keep it short, point out some interesting facts and put some pics up.

first of all, i'm now all in on the wheat beer. was always low on it but boy oh boy i think i've tryed 15+ different there and all were awesome (except some smoked beer BS which smells like smoked meat), but if I had to choose one, it would be Weihenstephaner which should be from the oldest brewery in Germany.

had luck with the weather, 5+ sunny and 2 rainy days sound about right.

anyway, we went to an Alba game and it was really interesting (esp to me) since I made some money by betting, and as i'm ex grobari hardcore fan I did proper yelling there on refs etc, and then after Alba won and game was finished fans that were trying to get out were all the way high fiving me and smiling and yelling Alba and sheit. after that we went to some random bar named Cake and had amazing night with random colombian/USA/german/w/e people, did that serbian thing where we close the bar at 6am later we also did random after party god knows where with some girls that were or were not juveniles but w/e. so basicly every day was mixture of grinding, smoking weed, drinking good beers, eating really good food and overall had awesome time there. pekson became a man on this trip, he can talk more about it if he wants.

funny note, on one of the first nights out there we tryed to get in the infamous Kit Kat club, the guy on the door didn't wanna let us in, told our german friend that we would let us but there was some bad sheit in there bla bla. we got lil bit mad but got over it, ate some kebabs and went home. anyway, next day or so my mom asks me on viber '' have you been to some Kit Kat club maybe ? '' and I said ''haha they wouldn't let us in, how the f do you know about it? ''



overall, my grinding there was meh because i really don't find myself playing anything better than my B game when I'm out of my home. down 3k or so on MTTs. found some really soft cashgames on undisclosed site so I was up 500 or so on NL50.

random berlin toillete


first german(or european) semaphore














and probably only pic of the whole crew (sale,pekson,spawn,eric,me)


i've also played some live timbey ( i love to gambol ) so lil bit of a chip porn here at the end of the day 1



on the day 2 , 10 before the ITM i managed to donk off 50bb stack to a fish in a very soft field so it was pretty sad with like 80 ppl left and 35k up top on 300eu timbey. bb4k , i open ATo to 9 with 200k stack, english rec with Lex tshirt defends BB with 220k or so. flop comes T66, i bet 6 he raises to 15 (...) , I peel, turn is J, he bets like 18, i peel, river is a Q, he bets 32, i jam after 20 seconds or so and he snaps me off with 'I have a 6 i call' banter and shows 65s. Cool. I cursed myself loudly on serbian and left the place.

and yeah, i've found funny pic of the only meal that I didnt like since it had only veggie that i really dont like and that is cabbage. really incredible timing for taking a pic :




-----------------------------------

Since Slovenian guy asked me what's up, I gotta say I was in Nova Gorica playing that 1m guaranteed. it was 700eu BI and pretty soft overall, I managed to sell some pieces and bust 2 bullets. Overall very happy with my play, I just couldn't get the cards / spots running but probably for the first time in my life I felt like I'm outclassing the tables when we play deep. I think Ive made 2 mistakes out of 15hours playing with one being significant in terms of EV and other not so. Will drop couple of hands that I recall:

First bullet, day 1, bb2k. I have around 70k or so which is starting stack and can't get anything running. Draws are busting, they always have the top of their range, i manage to get couple of cool double barrels/turn donks to perserve the stack but overall really ****ty day. not to mention that i'm seated on the table with my roommate, my ex backer and one more really god serbian reg while there are like 40+ tables running filled with recs.

also, first things first, i sit on that table and it was really sad seeing 4 familiar faces on it, but what was even more sad was the italian guy left to me which had this aweful smell out of his mouth whenever he breaths. i mean we were 600bbs deep i was really hoping for him to bust out but 5 hands in the game he managed to double up ( !?!??!? ) so that was that, I had to go full phil laak with my sweater over my nose for most of the day. i was actually holding my gums on the table but he wouldn't take the bait. anyway, I open KQs on bb2k to 5k and he 3bets to 14.5k. i missread the stack ( think we're like 45bb+ deep while we were in that 30bb range ) and peel ( already saw him 3betting with veeeery bluff heavy range, like JTo mp vs utg or so ). flop comes T93, i check and he jams for pot sized bet, i call disgusted and he has JTo, 2 bricks and I'm out. i take a 20 min walk back to my hotel and pass out.

wake up in the morning and go to another flight that starts at 12. get seated on pretty decent table with one semireg there ( he managed to win the event for 220k or so and he's really bad imo ).

so, bb200, utg opens to 600, CO 3b to 1200 ( off 60k stack or so ) , i look up the cards and its 99 on the button. contemplate 4betting which might be pretty good but decide to go on the safe 300bb variant and flat. UTG bumps it up to 6.2k, co peels, I peel. flop is 862, 5k cbet, CO folds I peel. turn is a T, he bets 9k, i hate my life but can't fold for that price and I peel ( we now have around pot size left effectivly ). River is a J, he tanks for a 30-45s and checks, i tank for 30s and jam, he tanks for 4 minutes and openfolds KK. hooray.

literally next hand he opens utg to 600, i look and see AKo on the cutoff and go to 2k. SB that looks all fishy with the ace of spades tattoo on his forearm, glasses and earphones 4bets to 5.6k, i peel. flop is 552 or smt like that, he bets 4k I call. turn is a 8, goes check check, river is another blank, he bets 11k pretty fast and unconvincingly and i throw a chip in, he shows AJo and we scoop another cool pot.

now lets go 6-8 hours forward, i'm on 200k stack and it's the last level, 4k. i have pretty sick dynamic with some italian kiddo reg on my right, since he was trying to open Q8s utg on 10 handed table whole day and i was 3betting sheit ton of him also whole day, and there were also 8 another ppl at the table that were just folding. on my left theyve just seated some blond kiddo with hefty stack and big pokerstars earphones ( big no no if you ask me ). anyway , since whole table is folding and I have this italian stealing all of my opens and I dont wanna 3betting that much OOL with usually 5+ ppl behind me that are cold call happy ( not the greatest spots to be in, i know the kid is going ool and he knows that i cant go that much ool so it was pretty sad yeah ). Anyway I'm utg, look at K6s and decide to 3x it. blond kiddo was folding every hand as was the rest of the table, i havent opened 3x once whole day and I have that italian kid on the bb which wasn't defending that much anyway. So i open to 12k, and blondie starts looking my stack, eventually he peels and bb peels. flop is AJ3 rainbow, bb check i check blondie checks. Turn is another A, bb checks, and I decide to go for it since I really dont expect blondie to check AK/AQ otf which I think he clearly has in his range after looking at my stack the way he was looking it. Was worried about aces, but when A came ott not anymore, I bet like 16k. kid tanks, calls, bb folds. river is a blank, i go for 24k bet, same that I would do with KJ QQ JJ KK and he calls with AQs and that was it for the day, managed to get out with 160k stack and 4k level repeating tommorow.

day2, i'm seating with 8 randoms and probably biggest legend of serbian mtt poker. first hand in the day, mp opens, co flats, i look at KJo on the button and squeeze their 9k open to 34.5k. opener fold, flatter flats, 863ss (i have red combo) , i cbet 25, he peels, turn is a 7 that opens 2nd flushdraw and he donkjams into me and I fold and I'm down to 23 bigs. was restealing and taking almost every hand in which I was Hu from the BB but overall runned pretty aweful in postflop/when I 3bet rec cold 4b jams and bla bla,really bad run. that serbian guy asked me to swap 10% on the break which was really awesome since this guy is true legend here with for sure 1m+ winnings from poker lifetime ( we were both on 20bb stack, he managed to get mincash ). after the break they move me to another table with 10bb or so, I manage to jam X times and get my stack to 18bb, open QQ from ep, get 4 calls and jam 893 rainbow and get called by 33 and 88. No queen and i'm out.

----------------------------------------------

As I have to prepare myself for the grind, I'll probably put another update after the session. GLA

PGC rungood confirmed :

lol didn't realize it was you. I was the blondie kid with the headphones on your left lololol
I am not italian im from Slovenia actualy

hahahahah this is awesome

i was thinking like there was small chance that u were the guy but this is outright sick. i saw u with couple slo grinders on the break so i figuered out that y re slo, then after the break donated some chips to your AQ. wp

the guy on my right was italian kid.

yeah thats pretty sick well now i know for next time who you are if we are seated together so i don't need headphones because most times im seated with 9 random italians which is not really fun if you don't speak their language haha

Yesterdays session :



-1500e or so

After getting that nice comeback bink couple days ago and getting fked up on saturday i've decided to skip the sunday since i was hangovered and then really get back into the grind mode on monday. Started around 3pm and finished around 3am. It was an mixture of losing every single allin / getting into top of the range in every single spot / spewing here and there (around 1000bbs below EV in pfais).

I was the laziest f*ck ever in last 2 months or so. No discipline with my bankroll managament, with grinding, not with my body, not with eating, not with anything basicly. On the other hand I'm still feeling pretty good and I'm overall happy and not depressed at all, i'm sleeping good. My mood and communication with basicly anyone are on level that is probably lifetime high. I'm not taking any setbacks emotionally as I used to couple years back, today I'm just rationally trying to figure out the solutions.

For years I didn't wanted to be out of the stable since I didn't believed in my bankroll managment skills and discipline with my own money ( and life fwiw ). In the last 12 months I saw immense progress in me being able to manage my money while not degening (too much!) and I've decided to take a step up and 'emancipate'.

I was thinking about getting back to the stable because of my inability to perform at my best level otherwise. But whole my life, starting from the school, then street juggs that I was performing back in the days, then poker , I always gave my best in high pressure situations, not that I can handle 'em that well in the moment of happening, it's just that I've managed to look at those falls from the bright side - use them to motivate myself - and get my head up higher every single time, and I'm gonna try to do the same. If it means that I'll be grinding micros for a while 'till I get my head straight - so be it.

I know that I'm crushing the fields in which I play when I'm on my B game, but right now I see I'm having too many C (or even D) hours in my sessions and this is completely unnacceptable. I'm not planning to deposit money from my liferoll to my poker bankroll so if I bust in next month or so or I see that this isn't going anywhere I'll just find a new cozy staking deal and that's it. But I wont let myself go down with playing some half-ass sessions once a week and clicking multiple reentries on 100e PKOs with 25bbs. No sir, not anymore. Won't be posting any freerolls this time since idgaf about money that much, it won't motivate me ( as seen from the last one about gym ).

30.10 - 30.11 Challenge

- 4 sessions per week minimum (which should be 700+ timbeys or so, 700> is a fail)
- not playing anything higher than 20 on .es ( lord help me !!!!! )
(can play this series ME)
- not playing anything higher than 50 on winamax
- getting drunk twice ( i have a wedding, it would be once otherwise )
- no weed / drugs AT ALL!!!
- getting my body in little bit healthier mode ( no sodas / candies / bread ) , not ordering unhealty food and having some salad bs already prepared and in my freezer during the grinds + any 15 minute+ physical activity daily for starters.

That's about it.

my last 2 sessions in 2 hands

https://www.boomplayer.com/29170164_0CA197848E

Big goals. GL

we got some life saviours running guys and I'm playing really well ! LFG AND GL

well , we have qualified for day 3 on the winamax one, and big55 we have sexy little ft

yeah I crushed em haaaaaaaaard ! LFG NOVEMBER

Nice score gg and gl in the day 3

ty sir but we lost pfai KK<QQ 10 left for CL

--------------------------

In other news, I'm playing really good. Obviously I wen't lil bit over my head yesterday with buyins, had some deepruns but got that cancer PFAI run in deeps again. It's really painful to play when you just KNOW that you'll lose all standard spots but that's part of the gig

I've also sent application to bitB since I wanna see what's up with that , they liked my application and we'll talk business on Monday. I'm not sure that I'll go in that academy thing anyway since I'll be cutting myself for some serious profits I suppose in first 3-6 months for sure, but on the other hand I'm still poker hungry and want to go on another level and learn moar, so I'm torn between commiting myself for next 12-24 months to some stable or keep printing on low/midstakes and possibly falling behind the curve and starting some other nonpoker sh*t in next couple of years. If anyone has to offer any POV on this, I would be very grateful. Talk to me about bitB business etc, if you're uncomfortable talking it public you can send me an PM.

------------------------------------------------

Had an interesting chat with winamax reg yesterday - name is Platizou. He needled me for some spews ages back and that he has me marked as bad reg ( i mean why would he say this to me at all, so duuuumb ), and I needled him back and then he got off and started talking about my Serbian warcrime childraping father (?!?!?). My father is an engineer and never been in army but w/e. When someone goes off in nationalistic way I just lose my complete interest in having any type of arguement (/relationship fwiw) with that person, it's just so freakin lame that it's absurd. On the other hand I had a guy from Pristina(capital of Kosovo) that's railing this thread telling me GG on IG for big55 bink and that he really likes my thread, and it put smile on my face, altough tensions between Serbia and Albania (Kosovo) are on /close to boiling point/ it's really good to see people from both sides behaving like people and without prejudices since we're all in same deep sh*t, and masses are highly manipulated by some POS politicians from both sides. So Platizou, if you're reading this know that I would really like you to tell sh*t that u were talking yestarday to a face of some Serbian ( hopefully me ) someday, altough I would probably just ignore you since you're worthless POS and I wouldn't like to get touched by your homophobic aura.

had an 8th place in bigger 55 last night for 1.xk with 13k up top. was CL 17 ppl left, came here to post a screenshot of it and decided not to do it. JINXXXXXed myself hard

but really, at the beggining every single short got doubleup at least twice, and I made one mistake, wouldn't say huge but it was def an mistake and it have costed me much maneuverability.



obviously it can't be that outright bad in terms of EV but my guess is recs are flatting even TT/maybe JJ here pre considering stacks and flatting AQ almost for sure so vs JJ AK range I'm not sure i wanna call off worse thing was it was first hand after the break, i was drinking my coffee and just autopilot open/called and fall into 30bb bracket where I mostly just gotta pray for very awesome cards. Then 2 hands later blinds changed and here we are on 25bb and nobody can bust anyway.

Hey guys, I wasn't updating much since in bitB, so let me do a fast recap of 2018th. At the beggining of the thread I wrapped my goals around volume and living healthy life, so lets start with poker :





Overall very glad how things worked out. I've kept improving whole year, played 75%+ sessions in my B+ game. Still no huge score or score larger than 8k or so but idgaf, i'm very proud that I've just crushed the fields when I played and just grinded it out for some nice profits. It's still possible to hit 100k year - Series all around the world are starting and i'm playing higher ABI then ever and never felt more confident in my game.

I've joined bitB 1 month ago. Was listening to all the stories about awesome community and coachings and them being top notch place for imporvement and





small sample while in bitb but i already think i've improved dramaticly and i'm gonna go for it even harder !




so overall, pokerwise, 2018th is all the way in green !

--------------------------

As for the health/nutrition goes, i gotta say i fked up like 9 months of the year for sure. eating unhealthy, drinking a lot, taking some narcotics here and there. I'm very responsible with all of these things, know to chose time and place, but it's was just too much days going down the drain for no apparent reason. Like i go out on Saturday, drink a ton - DONT HAVE GOOD TIME and then just be hangovered next day, can't eat, can't play, can't train, can't study, can't walk, can't socialize. Fvck that. In november I gave myself some goals about drinking and eating healthy and I've managed to get drunk once and it was wedding of really good friend so that's good. In december I've arranged personal trainer, got nutrition instructions and started hitting the gym 3x per week. I feel very good, still have to work on sleeping discipline and buy/prepare my food more constantly but I gotta say everything feels good right now. I just feel healthier already, both in my body and in my mind. Biggest goal until end of the year is to stop smoking !

-------------------

So yeah, that's zie wrap up. Will probably open new PGC for 2019th and update it 1-2 times per month. GL boiz, let's finish 2018th with style !!!
