Hi

this thread is a nice read, you're climbing up fast. I'm wondering what do you think makes it happen. Is it the coaching ? the NO BS 6max 'book' ? constant reviewing ? ...

What makes you grow as a player ?

Hey Hans,

I have a few Questions, that I want t discuss in German. Can you contact me via E-Mail: the.seducer@freenet.de

Greets,

I think it's a combination of all of those + improving and exploiting the unaware

@The2ndIvey
TX!

@Oewems
TY, mate! Pretty much what Myher said. It's a combination of everything. Basically I would have to say that I consistently think what I can improve and also take care about doing this things. I guess the main thing is that coach points out besides me the leaks and then I work on that.

So guys,

30h of poker in 3 days are gonna do the job for this week. Gonna use the small amounts of time today and probably Sunday to work off table. I have to set up the parameters for the badges because otherwise my tables look like big a window full of badges. About the game itself. Well not really happy TBH. It's not how I'm supposed to play. Anyway this are the results:






TOTAL CHALLENGE: 40 422.98$(LAST UPDATE) + 353.09$(WINNINGS 3 DAYS) = 40 776.07$/ 100 000$

still more profit mate, even if you're not happy with how you played, that's a positive

everyone has bad days, you put in so much volume its so hard to play good all the time. So you need to practice and learn and thats how you achieve greatness:P

Challenge Days: 136&137&138

@Everest17
I know your right. But I try to implement the mindset(I think I already have) that I evaluate how I played based on the quality instead of the money. It's simply me being more happy.

@wellplayed
I have to admit the probably sometimes I'm maybe a little bit to harsh with me but you know can't be that bad.



Hi everyone,

After a very nice weekend and some football celebration it's time for an update. Been working on getting some RB and climbing some VIP ladders so at the end of the month I expect to get 9-10k$ of RB that will push the overall amount even further. Been running pretty hot on NL100&NL400 but extremely bad at the NL200 tables but that was to be expected since 14bb wasn't a real WR. Performance wise it seem to be more stable and I'm now more in my ideal grinding zone.





TOTAL CHALLENGE: 40 776.07$(LAST UPDATE) + 7 611.09$(WINNINGS 3 DAYS) = 48 387.16$/ 100 000$

So that's it! Next update on Sunday/Monday if nothing comes in between. Cya!

unreal update for you man, glad to see it!

Challenge Days: 139&140&141

@Everest17
Yeah, that was really an unreal one and you only get aware once you post it.

So guys,

Well I hit stop loss after a long while today. You wouldn't believe because it's really a long time since I haven't but after being 1,3k down on a mixture of NL100&200&400 I decided to C it day. I would rate my game as B. My bluffs got caught,people had the top their ranges, me make mistakes and everything together makes a stop loss day. But yeah, sort of was to be expected since the nice run can't really continue forever. Anyway this is what I came up with for the last 3 days:





Sadly this time I can't add any exciting number to the overall challenge situation but as soon as I will get RB(which I'm working) on I hope to be able to surpass the 50k mark.

TOTAL CHALLENGE: 48 387.16$(LAST UPDATE) + 24.26$(WINNINGS 3 DAYS) = 48 411.42$/ 100 000$

Anyway that's it for today. Take care guys and cya mid next week!

u are so sick
GL!

follow and gluckkkkkk

I want to play for Gordon! I'm 24 as well. I can play fulltime.

I really want this, and I will make it happen.

Well I guess if you really want it... and you are 24... then it will happen

GL OP, let the fish massacre continue. This is the best thread I read in some time

Insane results, very inspiring.

@Comments
TX guys for the positive words. I really appreciate it.

Hi everyone,

So this is going to be a little bit of a longer grind update, but it's also going to be probably one of the last once for this month. So there is a lot of things to write about and so I should probably start.

As it was in some sort of way predictable I hit the downer. Not to worried about it(besides here and there the word ''F**k'' or the mighty 2 poker words ''So sick'' ) as I'm always looking to find the positive side of the so called bad things. It simply time to work more so edge becomes bigger and swings influence less the overall result.

No what I love about downers is the fact that they make me more aware about my game and they are in general a very good time to learn and understand that it's not about losing or winning a pot where you are in though decision but rather are you gonna be here often enough good? So time to double check each decision(analyze mathematically and use reads) and so I decided to take some couple of days with more ''relaxed grinding''. This simply means more off table work and less grind.

Due to the big amount of questions and suggestion that I got I will create a course that will go in depth about the WHY and HOW behind the NO 6max BS. It will cover topics more in depth like reacting to DB, 2ndP, X/C and a lot more. So if you have any question regarding a certain problem with the NO 6max BS please send me an Email at hansthegreat@bestpokercoaching.com

Performance wise it's OK-ish. Could be way better because here and there due frustration I make a play or two that wasn't supposed to happen but it's really hard to keep consistently playing solid. Anyway here are the results:





I haven't had a minus update for a longer while but I waited on purpose this 4 days because I got RB and that's still gonna push the overall amount.

TOTAL CHALLENGE: 48 411.42$(LAST UPDATE) - 2 764$(WINNINGS 3 DAYS) + 10 040.73$(7355€) = 55 688.15$/ 100 000$

So with RB there is a very likely chance that I will have my first 20k$ month. But still I will play some hands and let's hope that they don't all go that wrong.

Anyway time to end this post. Cya!

You use No BS 6max's concepts to play until now since the beginning of this challenge? Or just abit small changes?

enjoyed the thread so far

I bought NoBS 6max because of you.. I was already playing 50NL before I bought it though.. What should be the next step?

To read it obv.

Hahaha

No BS advice

Challenge Days: 146&147

@sgpokernoob
Well, nowadays I have to deviate of course but still when I play an unknown(no info) I generally stick to the book. Also a lot of my preflop ranges haven't changed at all besides that I adjust if needed.

@GrindationStevee
It's hard for me to give you any advice because you play already NL50. For me it was easier because I went to the absolute micros and build my game fresh based on the book. As you move up you realize more where the book is wrong(frequently because of relative hand strength and board textures).

Hi guys,

It's time for an update although this time a short one. Played only 2 days but my concentration is kind pretty low lately. Don't know why but I find it currently hard to keep my focus on good level. I also spent a decent portion of the time doing some off table work.

Performance wise it was generally OK besides of course the above mentioned focus issue. I also coached my first and only student for that I had/have and it was really nice. I also used the money from coaching to donate it for the flood victims that happened in my country. Felt really good about it.





TOTAL CHALLENGE: 55 688.15$(LAST UPDATE) + 2 347.1$(WINNINGS 2 DAYS) = 58 035.25$/ 100 000$

TTYA guys!

like what you're doing man, I look forward to these updates

I play break-even, if not losing at 50NL.. So..

Hey, can you give us an idea on the BRM that you use?

Thanks!

Challenge Days: 148&149&150

@GrindationStevee
You should probably think about starting from the bottom and redefining your game by learning the fundamentals correctly.

@z3ffrin
Currently I don't use any BR besides my knowledge. This means I'm absolutely over rolled for NL400 and could even play NL600 but I only makes the switches once I feel like I beat the game somewhat decently. But in general I always advice people NL2-NL25 = 25BI, NL50 = 30, NL100 = 40 with always 5BI shots.


Ola everyone,

Almost week without update. Seems like a really long time. I had also my small vacation in between with elementary school reunion and some parties along the way. Also was in charge of actually taking care about the organization of the BPC meeting but not anymore so I probably going to start grinding again 6h/day. I will go down because I wanna focus on quality currently and have other things that I working on.

I kinda have to admit as the summer comes it's harder to find be extremely focused. I mean especially in my country that almost lives from tourism I consistently seem all this nice festival,concerts, cultural events that you really get tempted to kinda skip hours. I mean summer is definitely not the dream time to play poker and no wonder that the traffic(quality) goes down.

Anyway about my days. Performance wise OK-ish and what I like more is that I'm getting consistent. Result wise could it's also not bad since I had only 1 stop loss day but all in all I'm satisfied. Anyway here are the results:





TOTAL CHALLENGE: 58 035.25$(LAST UPDATE) + 849.24$(WINNINGS 3 DAYS) = 58 884.49$/ 100 000$

Anyway that's it for the 3 days. Now it's time to review the past month.

May Report

In short words my best month ever money wise because of the help of RB. I mean 12k$ in winnings is not a bad result but the 10k$ that I accumulated in the last couple of months came as a nice bonus and so push the month overall income +22k$.

Despite money wise of course being awesome poker knowledge and improvement wise it has been mediocre. It's not like I didn't learn anything but also I'm not too satisfied as well not really with the volume as well. But I went for quality and so I can't complain overall.



Cya guys by the end of the week!
