Bombs away! Pot it.

why?

week in review
Yeah, my pc run without any problems and I just can concentrate on playing poker. Finally I finished my long theorie month about 3bet pots, decided for a new tracker program and solved my computer problems. All in all Im satisfied with my game. I had one recordsession with 3000 hands for the day and played 10 tables at the same time (just hu). In chess I concentrate on my endgame skills and will add the kings indian to my opening in the next days.

''Up to NL400 I play every reg at least 50 hands. When I dont find many leaks I quit. On nl600 + nl1000 I bumhunt.''




That's a lie: I've sat you at least three times at 200nl and everytime you sat out. Just admit you bumhunt at 200 and 400 too.

The Coaching Project

I played regs until the end of april. From may I added nl50 tables so that I got enaugh action so that I just play regs when there is no fish on my tables. The reason for this is that almost everyone sit out at nl400 tables.

Goals of the month (1) take up time (2) analyse the hand
The last two days was not so good. I played too fast and didnt take up enaugh time. I also didnt analysed the hands very deeply. In the next days I will try to improve. To become better in hand analysis I will try to concentrate on 1 villain (when I play several tables) and to get 3 reads at least and learn them by heart without taking notes.

I played a lot this week. I got a lot of action and played ok. Im very satisfied that I had no problems with my computer and everything is fine. I will add some more rooms like ongame,... I started this month to add nl50 again and had trouble to take up my time and analyse hands because I got so much action. I have to adapt and try my best.

In chess I added the kings indian defense. Now I have about 20 openings which I can use. I will try to improve my endgame abilities in the next few month (using silmans endgame book). I also look for another interesting thriller book series. When anyone can recommend I opened for every suggestion.

White is next to move. What are the plans for both players?

EZ game for white, he either walks his King to d6 and then picks up the e6 pawn, or to b6 and pushes the c file pawn (if black decided to play Be8 and move the King closer to the Queenside).

The Coaching Project

Yeah, easy game for white. The knight is much better than bishop.

Goals of the month (1) take up time (2) analyse the hand
I did a good job the last day. I played not too fast and analysed the hands more deeply. I also add plan the hand, handreading and board analysis when I just have 2 villains. When it will be 3-4 I just plan the hand. And when it will be more than 4 I just try to pay attention to take up my time.

It gets better and better. I take up my time and also improved in other parts of my game. I staay calm when I run bad and just concentrate on my learning goals. I played more hands than before and optimized my poker day. In chess I havent learn much more new things. Today I will work on my endgame skills. My computer is running well. Have a relaxed weekend.

Tell me more.

Goals of the month (1) take up time (2) plan the hand
I changed my goals. I replaced hand analysis (I will still analyse hands - but not so deeply because I have not so much time --> too many tables) by plan the hand on the flop. In the last days I was good in following my goals. I try to take at least 2 seconds before I make preflop any action.

I had an interesting week. I tried to focus and take up time preflop and plan the hand on the flop. I did it great most of the time and are proud of myself. I just had 2 coachings last week but got a lot of interesting information. I also worked on my chess skills (endgame, tactic and live play).

chess position of the week
We have a tactical task. White ist next to move.

Rook takes Bishop
Then the other Rook checks at f8 then at f7.
And you get (promote) a Queen out of the whole ordeal.

If black plays Rf8 instead of capturing the d5 Rook, we push the pawn to e7.

The Coaching Project

Sounds great.

Goals of the month (1) take up time (2) analyse the hand
In the last days I was not so satisfied with my game. I played too fast and didnt thought deeply. I also discovered that I have problems to play Nl50 again. I just run break-even and have to find out why.

In this week Im not very patient. I play too fast and are angry on villins - mostly on nl50 fish. I tried to find the root and will work on it in the next week. Im sure I will be able to handle this problem.

In the first days of the week I was not satisfied with my game. I played too fast and didnt thought deeply enaugh. I also had problems to play nl50 again. I discovered my mistakes and try my best next month to get my old winrate. In the last 4 days everything was fine and I have a > 20BB/100 hands. I also played slower, thought deep and didnt make any big mistakes.

To be quiet honest I played to many 1 minutes games in chess. I was addicted to this games. Unfortunately I played 1 or 2 nights until the morning. All in all I have to say that I didnt learn much in this 1 minute games. I doesnot have much to do with chess. Its just speed. I will try my best to manage thise problem and play longer chess games (just at the weekend). That is more fun and I learn much more.

learning goals: (1) take up time (2) analyse the hand
I make progress. I try permanently to take up my time and plan the hand. I also add handreading. But its not my first goal. I also dont get on tilt so fast. I evaulate my decisions and when the answer is positive Im satisfied and my thoughts stay positive. Yeah
