nice thread, subbed.

gl!

Nice results so far m8. Up that volume yeah? I've gotta do the same in the coming months after a pretty slack start too... KIU!

In my way to Luxembourg, always with hands in my mind and never turn off completely about poker, every place/moment count to reach the top.



Things are going well, good 1st week, only 3k hands, good 3handed e hu sessions against some regs that are not really solid and sometimes I guess they can turn a break even situation in a +2 digits ev bb/100 situation for me. So, I'm giving some action in HU against some of them.

My focus is clearly now on 200's games, trying to change my routine after Andorra but I felt really tired after midnight, this is affecting my volume.
Other stuff, I have to reach more 10 kgs to be in normal weight, so yesterday, I started using Herbalife, I'll give it a try.

Good things to come, I guess

That's a clean graph

Hey! Nice thread, will you go to Palma de Mallorca in April?

Best of luck

@pokerpan1

I will not go, I bought the flight in February but I have to put the grind as my priority and work harder in this phase. I want to finish the year crushing midstakes and I have to put the hours to achieve that. Mallorca was clearly a EV- decison... I have Play del Carmen, MEX in my plans in August to work with my Portuguese coach, so between today and that day I guess I will only flight again to Luxembourg to grind, to stay calm and not burnout grinding home.

My review of the last days in Luxembourg:

Pros

Good place to grind and stay focus (Diekirch) because you don't have any distractions, really calm place.
People are really nice, not like some German and French classic cloudy people.
Mix of culture, lot of Portuguese.

Cons

Weather - I had really lucky because, 4 days here and 4 sunny days temperature above 20.
I guess after 1 month, I will be tired, always the same thing, not a lot to do after poker sessions.

I achieved my best session there, 1.4k$. It's interesting because, my best sessions were not in my hometown (Frankfurt, Porto, Azores and now Luxembourg. Maybe because, I'm happier, I'm not sure or just variance and I'm running good when I'm out I'm 2k up, and I'm looking for the best month of my life,4k to go, let's do it.


Playa del Carmen, MEX can be a really solid scenario for the last 6 months this year, I'm anlaysing that. It is 80% sure that will go ate least 1 month in August, I have my coach there and I want to be completely emerged in poker with a top guy.

Let's do some magic in the next 20 days.

I guess the moment when I realize I'm performing bad in my games at x k hands and I'm still profitable playing them (surely profitable!) is one my best moments in my poker carreer so far. #thoughtoftheday #thiswillnotbemybestmonth

April recap

Really good 1st week, ****ing bad rest of the month. Up around 1.9k EUR + 350 USD rakeback, not happy with my performance and my volume.
Really tilted because my main site stop to work around 5 days and my hud converter too in another 5.
I can't change the past so, let's work to make May the epic month.´

Things to do:
- Study ev calculations;
- Give more coaching time to my students;
- Work ****ing hard and less procrastination;

New Stuff:

Started to follow Garyvee videos (not poker), I like his content.

#maywillbethemonth

I think you have promise. GL sir!

Nice Thread and Graphs! Glglgl

nice, gl for may

gl man

End of May and this was maybe the most interesting month of the year.

Some facts:
- I started to build a small group of staking/coaching with 2 top highstakes guys from Lisbon, news soon

- Portugal opens the market. Hate zoom tables

- Still crushing NL200, low sample (27k, 9.26 ev bb, running too good)

-NL100 okish, (6.7 ev bb 103k hands, not happy I can be much better)

-Not happy with long sessions but I have to hack that( too many spews)

-Not happy with my game this month, maybe C mode. (****ing crashes on chico network tilted me a l... NO EXCUSES.)

-Changing a bit my preflop ranges with help of my coaches and try to adapt it, B level.

Month: ~4,402k without RB


Year: ~17,384k without RB



Final thoughts:
Odds are against me to reach 60k the goal that I talked in the beginning of the year, but I don't give a f**** yet, I will try to continuing upgrade my game and If all goes well I think I can achieve it.

However, I guess the money is not the goal yet, as my ambitions are a bit higher than 1/2 games. I have to hack some low performance periods during some sessions and be much more solid in some situations, I know I'm losing a lot of EV in some of my sessions on spews and dumb s****, so I have to hack that now to be a good solid reg in the future.

Second part, I have to try to put like 70k month hands on regular tables, I talked a lot in previous post about this and I'm bul****ting me and not search a real solution for this ,I have to be focus and play more hours.

Third part, I have to be better at strategy, I know I have to improve a lot my guidelines and some basic GTO principles that I'm struggling.

I guess, it's all.

Thank for all the props I'm receiving above, hope to write more and better and make this journey legendary! Thank you

1-5 June

First 5k hands of the month, no good looking graph, bad work on Saturday, C- game, two or three 100bb spews. Since Sunday, decent B+ game, focused, good table selection etc
Not doing well at 100's but good at 200's since last month

Plans for the rest of the weekend:

-grind 03-00 p.m. Portuguese hours, Monday-Thursday;
-coaching my guys after that;
-Lisbon on Friday to work in the office with one of my poker buddy's and talk about our stable;
-Meet with a student after that;
-Saturday rest with family and friends;
-Sunday, a lot of coaching with my guys, some poker too after that, maybe 06-00 pm;

Seems a solid plan, I will try to do it like I wrote it.

5-7 June

Very happy with the hours that I'm working at the tables, hoping to achieve ~18k hands until Monday. More comfortable with 6 hours marathon sessions, doing OK B- game overall during this last 2,3 days.

Mix of feelings after worst session of my career, a little bit sad but 0 impact in routines or state of mind out of tables.

Tomorrow, Friday 8th, I'm taking Lisbon, tables day off but still ev+ in poker e non poker terms.

Ugly June:

7-14 June

Good time on Lisbon, ****ing beasts on the office, I'm a baby comparing with the speed they count combos and do ev calculations.

During this week I was hustling on the tables, things are going well, B+ game, good table selection, less spews.

Grinding days will be tomorrow ( thursday), friday I will not work, Portugal x Spain World Cup 2018. A bit of work, Saturday and a lot of work Sunday.

Month is decent, 20k hands, I'm targeting 50k at the end so let's ****ing go!

Sometimes you just need to get pounded.




Report at the end of the month, now it's time to work!

Nice read OP. Ship the cheese fodes! glgl

sometimes you only need 5k hands to be happy #nottheendofthemonth



Some "not sure"and funny hands:

H1 I would call for sure
H2 If I checked flop I would check turn too, the 8 hits more his range than yours
H3 sick cooler
H4 sick spot, against some oponents I fold
H5 standard easy call

after said all that I am just a winer at NL25 and a breakeven at NL50

Boa sorte Angelo

H1 - I call but when I analysed the hand after, I think that specific player don't have bluffs when he raised that board against 2. Neither Ak, so I have to fold. But it's not a 100% sure, so...
H2 - Kind of spots that I'm not comfortable yet, I cannot give you a clear opinion on that, but I'm trying to play that spots more exploitative than GTO even oop.

Ty for your response, Gl 4 you!
Ty for the love!
