glgl mate

thank you but couldn't bink big

Busted in 24th place for 28,7k$ for my 3rd biggest score online.
Day started very good build over 70bb stack then suffered another though cooler.



That was 95BB pot. After that played another hour as a short and busted 55 vs JJ for 13BB eff.
Luckily managed to timebank to ladder up for 7k pay jump before I busted.

This week was a solid one, planned to take a day off on Friday but had day 2 od 530$ deep stack Scoop with 60BB and 49 players left.
Spend a good day with my family then decided that I'll play only day2 and if I bust will take rest off the night off.

Ended up finishing 4th for 23,7k. so the situation got much better result wise.
Came on FT as CL but was getting a huge amount of good card and couldn't win a pot. Maybe I even made some ICM mistakes.

First spot is this one.

here we're 11 left. The opponent is more aggro then most players on a decent sample and have high wwsf.

So my thoughts were that on the turn he still has way too much air and probably super easy spot to over bluff especially with high wwsf stat.
River I was expecting high fq of give ups since everything missed so didn't like the shove but was following my reads till the end and decided to call.

Gl everyone with the grind.

Cool thread, good luck!

Damn 11 sites :O Didn't know there is 7/15 games, are those asian apps? Also, classic MTTs, when you are about to quit they throw you couple good scores to keep you hooked. GLGL

Tyty

It's Croatian site that plays in Kunas but equivalent was 7/15, unfortunately not much action there anymore.

Indeed, well they would keep me even more hooked if they give me 100k+ score

Playing day 2 of 2,5k ACR Milly, have 110bb with 80 players left so maybe that is the hook I'm searching for, cause I'm not planning to play much mtts till Wcoop

May Update

This was a rough month since I'm not used to MTT grind, started quite bad was down around 20k, motivation was on low point, frustration on maximum. Had a feeling that I'm playing well so I knew that I need to get over it and continue to play best I can.

Before the series started I was aware that most likely will end up losing decent amount of $$, but on the other side, I was confident about my game(especially after crushing cash tables in April) and was hoping for a huge score.

In the end, neither was happen, up to 400$ buy in that, I was playing 100% for myself lost 10k, and made profit around 45k$ in 400$+ events where I had 50% action.

Although result on 400$+ BI was ok, the feeling is that overall run was shitty, and there is regret for those almost huge score binks.

Best results:
24th in 3,2k WPT for 28k$ first was 1M$
4th in 530$ SCOOP for 24k$ first was 60k
12th in ACR 2,5k$ for 15k$ first was 244k$
there were lot's of 30-100th place as well.

Looking at my tracker played almost 27k hands on PS, party and Winamax with overall 6BB/100 EV wr

In May I also started working with mindset coach which was helpful to accept those things, I was talking with other guys that are going through the same feelings, struggles, I learned some new stuff, recognized some stuff that I was doing wrong, recognized stuff that I already know but not doing them all those stuff make sense, but somehow it's hard to come to those conclusions alone.


Goals for June are to study cash a lot, go over stuff I've worked before, optimize my day, make a better schedule, take notes, and see where am I spending my time.

Got a very good deal for Pokerbross so most of my volume will be there, played there in April and games were amazing.

In May hired a personal trainer that was planned since January, so the goal is to have min 3 gym training per week, and most likely 4 coming closer to the end of the month and body get used to it.

I'm also thinking about getting more active on Instagram, but that's something I'm thinking for a long time, but still unsure do I want to share results on that platform.

Cheers and GL at the tables.

Legenda

Hi all,

It's been a week since last post and 9 days since MTT grind is over, but I'm still not grinding or studying enough.

Last month while I was grinding MTTs it was much easier to start grinding as planned, which I'm not able to for cash games, my sleep schedule again is not good, getting to sleep after 4 am, waking up at noon, but usually, kids wake me up at least 2 times before noon, so I'm not well rested even when I woke up.

The plan was to enter working room by 6 pm, do some warm up, off table work then grind.
Most of the days last week I was not in working room before 7 pm, some days I spent more time with kids, one day hang out with friends, one day needed to help my mom. Obv I get drawn away very easily, which shouldn't be the case.
Also, another problem was that when I started working off table than playing after I was already too tired, and not able to play my A game, along with bad run results were low volume and losing money at the tables.

Family time was also not optimal cause waking up late, lacking energy, going to gym, setting up an agency for poker bros and other stuff was interrupting time with them, and kids are so sensitive, it's really hard for them to understand why I'm only 30 minutes or 1 hour with them, then I need to do something if I'm not "working" , then I come back after 30 minutes, and maybe in an hour or 2 I'll need to go again, but for them, it's a short time in one piece.

Once again I need to organize my time better, so I decided to get in bed earlier and woke up as early as I can, the plan is after few days to wake up before 6 am to catch peek time on Pokerbros.

Yesterday was the first day although I went to sleep after midnight, and didn't fell asleep till 2 am, manage to wake up before 7., and till 2 pm I already played 5h and 1,3k hands. Had gym session after, then lunch with family and then group Mindset session. After dinner, we put kids to sleep and had some time to spent with wife. Went to bed around midnight, but while I was putting younger boy to sleep I also took short nap so I couldn't fell asleep till 2:30 and didn't wake up as planned this morning.

From today I'll try to update thread on a daily basis, with graph, short summary, and few hh.

On Sunday I'm preparing a birthday barbecue for friends, so Sunday is complete day off, and tomorrow and on Sutarday I'll need to prepare other stuff for it, so the rest of the week will still be kind of out of order.

Schedule for tomorrow:
Play 1k+ hands
Gym session
1h Off table work

It's harder to force yourself to post when you fail the first day
I was and still am sure that I set alarm for 7 am yesterday, but the first thing I remember was waking up a little before 9 am, stood up, and play only 1h before I had family stuff to do.

Then went to a friend to check a car that I'm thinking about buying, although I bought 2 years old with only 30k km Golf VII Variant in November '19, got a very good offer for Audi A6, so most likely I'm going to swap those two.

https://www.njuskalo.hr/auti/audi-a6...oglas-31674719

I'll get it for a cheaper price, so it doesn't cost me anything when I sell Golf.

Coach canceled gym training scheduled for the afternoon, and in the evening I could have played but decided to visit a local casino, where was big event for Zagreb terms and played some 1/2€ for fun.

played a few hours and lost 90€.

Last few years whenever I play live, always wonder how did I enjoy playing live cash from 2012-2015, it's so boring, I can't keep my focus at the table, either I'm on phone or talking with someone.

Today I was preparing stuff for a barbecue tomorrow, buying meat, drinks etc, and again I could play tonight but my backer came to the Zagreb, so I will meet him for a drink, and maybe we visit casino after.

This post is a very good example how easily I get distracted, and how little is needed that I don't play enough. It's something I need to fix in order to make more money in the coming months, cause my main goal is to buy an apartment till the end of the next year.

Hi all, again haven't updated for a while, I did plan to update more regularly but I again don't want to spend too much time on it.

Last week I started tracking where and how I'm spending my time, will do it for couple of weeks, and then figure out what should I change.
After first week already see that Other assignments are interrupting my grind too often. Those are not so important things that mainly shouldn't be done when it's grind time.



Grind is going meh, Poker Bros tilts me recently, I had great start there but last 12-13k hands can't win ****. Games are still very good, although not as good as they were but probably much better than other sites NL400-NL1k

Not sure what to think, when I look at table and players stats it looks amazing, 2-3 weak nitty regs and always at least one recreational, but I guess I'm not playing well and running bad.

My stats are similar to other sites except here I have wwsf 45 while on other sites it's 48-49, but I guess I should be folding much more since those ****ers are not bluffing, but looking at my stats I also bluff less.

Graph since started on Bros: first part was during Corona lockdown in March, and downhill started after MTT series.


Actual winnings are a bit higher, not everything is tracked and some anonymous tables.
Also raked shitload over 16k$ according to PT4, so getting 50% RB makes it a bit better.

on untracked sites I've been winning around 11-12k since May 1st.

Few Bros hh:
1) vs reg, not happy when he jams like that but I've seen stupid things so don't think I can fold.

Cheers

Hi, if you don't mind sharing what program did u use to track your time?

shitty run man... LEP (lose every pot)

It's Excell table I fill in.

it will get better

Gl mate, see you at the tables!

Hi all, I owe you a report for June.

After MTT series ended needed some time to get back to the routine grind, unfortunately again results were much worse than expected.
Games on Pokerbros looks good, but I'm was not doing good there, after very good start and winning more than 20k in 20k hands, I can't win **** last 15-16k hands there.

Graph since May 1st. -14k$ +3,5k$ RB


Overall graph on PokerBros



Not sure what to think about the games anymore, for sure I was not playing best vs those nitty regs, but still when I look at player stats table seem soft, but in game I can't do anything.

There are for sure lot's of spots to make exploit folds that I didn't notice because focus was not very good, for example.
I R1 on CO, reg on BUT 3Bet, I make 4bet with KJs, BUT Jam, and then I see he has 4,5% 3bet, who knows how many times I dusted 20 blinds like that.
and there was for sure bigger mistakes.

Played also some on other .Eu sites and did bit better there, Won total 3,6k$ on tracked sites, and around 12k€ on untracked sites like Unibet and some others.

So that makes it total for May and June
around 6,5k$ Profit which is far from good.

Mid-year update:

Cash: 33k Profit
MTTs: Around 37k, (I'm up 92k$ that I was backed but I lost decent on lower BIs)
Regarding cash, I feel that I failed and those numbers should have been much better but it is what it is, will do my best to make more till the end of the year.

Last week I was on vacation so didn't use time tracker, this week I did according to tracker I played poker 33,5h, 9,5h Studying, 7,5h doing Shallow work, that's like doing accounting, doing some poker stuff but at the same time chatting with friends, reading forums or setting up emulators to datamine tables etc.



I'll set up goals for next week. Most important is to play more, need to play at least 40h next week, and study 10h.
If I fail in either of those 2 goals I'll give 2x50$ to random posters in this thread during this week.

Other goals for 6th-12th Jul
3x Gym training.
Less shallow work
Update here more frequently.

Cheers!

70k for half a year ain't too shabby, especially for us poor Balkan people

good goals, gl

Would you continue to play on Bros? Do you think some collusion might have a role in your results?
40h is also my goal for the week, but the weather is so good that I am almost certain I wouldnt make it lol

Ty

It's true, but if there were no Corona lockdown and MTT bink it wouldn't be good.

I'm not sure about the Bros anymore, first 20k run was unreal I couldn't lose, I bet at that time some other regs were thinking that it's colluded against them.
Will try play some more, and if it doesn't get any better I'm going to quit.

http://prntscr.com/tcjpdc

This is typical NL400 table on Bros, one 50+ VPIP fish that usually have too high WWSF and doesn't go to SD too much, and 2 or 3 players that have so many green stats that are easily exploitable but in game it's doesn't goes so easily.

I played a lot on Poker Master in 2018. and there collusion was obvious, maybe they are just smarter now and not doing it that obvious.

Yeah I think I play 40h+ only during MTT series.

Awesome data logging work you have there. Is that in Excel? If so, would you mind confirming which tool you used to create that data report?

GL.

Tyty

Yeah that's excel, but I didn't made it. Got it from Mindset coach

Here you can see example for formula used to calculate.
http://prntscr.com/tdcobu

Yesterday was good and well organized day, 6h playing, 90 minutes studying, not much shallow work, very good gym session, and even had time to take a rest afternoon. Later in the evening I was tired to play, but done work regarding affiliation with PokerBros. Will see how much time will that take so far it was 1-2h per week but if it will take more I'll assign that to someone else.

With approach like that in 6 days I'll make more than before in 7 days so I could have complete day off from poker, and spent quality time with my family.

I'm curious what your handles on bros are. I think we probably play a lot together. I'll show you mine if you show me urs.
