Hey guys,

So of you may know me other don't so I'll quickly introduce myself. My name Sasa aka HansTheGreat and I've had quite a successful blog before which should be easy to find for those interested.

Since the last time I wrote anything a lot has happened from the various HS app games all the way to the fact that the last 2 year I was barely was playing any poker as I was focused on growing my stable called LFG Staking.
Being a stable owner was a good and very thoughtful experience where I learned a lot of things from a non technical poker perspective. It's really nice to follow the journey of my student on their mission to reach financial independence and see them grow as a person and a player.
Just thinking about zufo16 who has in February 2019 financially broke and sleeping at his friends couch rising in the next 18months to become a WSOP bracelet winner and having over 1 000 000$ in profit in 2020 and playing nowadays 10k$ tourneys online with the best. An unbelieveable story that I'm grateful to have experienced and followed.

Despite the success company has had overall I notice I miss playing poker. I miss just playing poker and living the player lifestyle. Freedom and being able to do whatever you want was the reason why I got into poker. I noticed in this 2 years my personal To-Do list of things I want to achieve and improve in life has become stagnant.

So essentially this blog will serve as a way to track my journey back into the poker streets. It's supposed to keep me accountable for the my goals and objectives which I currently have:

- Become a PKO Crusher
This is pretty much the current goal as I wont playing close to any normal tournament. I will play a bit of cash on the side, coaching and managing the company but this wont be really part of the this blog unless it's really part of the daily/weekly/monthly blog update.

Non Poker Goals:
- Lose weight
- Start a Beginner DJ course
- Learn basic Spanish

This are mostly side projects that I'll keep updating only when I want to be accountable for something. Idea is to start working as well on my personal development To-Do list.

So since 01.11.2020. already passed and it was a Sunday grind here are the goals for 02.11.2020. :
[] Post PKO Results For 01.11.2020.
(Once Day 2 of $530 Bounty Builder HR is finished)
[] Analyze all the marked PKO Hands in ICMIZER(+50 Hands)
Generally supposed to be a off table work day Monday

TX guys!! @mosquito! @i<3Nemo

So a long day is in the books. I ended up FT the Bounty Builder $530 where I took 7th place so my off table work time became actually quite less. I ended up doing only 19 ICMIZER PKO spots which isnt so bad but I got to figure out who to systemize it better the information I take from this sims.

Forgot to mention I will only play on Pokerstars as it's easier to study PKOs compared to any other site. So here are the results from the 1st playing day:




[+] Post PKO Results For 01.11.2020.
[-] Analyze all the marked PKO Hands in ICMIZER(+50 Hands)

Now not a great start as I've imagined I could have done more ICMIZER PKO drills but it is what is and tomorrow is a new day and this will be my complete off table study day so I can catch up on all the marked hands.

Goal 03.11.2020.:
[] +30 ICMIZER PKO Sims

Quite an exhausting day from the amount of ICMIZER sims I've done. Double checked most of my FT plays and overall happy how I've played but definitely quite a few areas where I'm leaking in this PKOs.

[+] +30 ICMIZER PKO Sims
This was exactly 30 no more no less.

So for tomorrow I would like to leave it open ended as I don't know what to expect tbh due to the various commitments but will update once I'm back on track.

@jasamgale & @AlphaScorpii TY guys!

I didn't update the last couple of day mostly because I was just playing cash games which seemed suitable mostly because I was working around to get a better system for PKOs learning and also wanted some flexibility for other interests.
Think I optimized the learning/tracking system now it's time to put more hours in it. Also noticed if I force myself with too much off table work in 1 day the last 30% it's brainless crunching % and ranges in ICMIZER. Got to stop if I feel mentally tired.

That's why tomorrows will be:
[] +15 ICMIZER PKO Sims

So in the last couple of days I just kind of went back into the cash game grind. I love the flexibility off it and certainly I became too comfortable with. I also played some MTTs as well but mostly non bounty so I'll post the results after Sunday where I'll show how I did in PKOs and normal MTT.

I did way more then the 15 since the last update but just for the record:
[+] +15 ICMIZER PKO Sims

Anyway that's it for now and let's hope for a good Sunday!! GL!!!

So time for an update:

I played quite a solid chunck both cash and MTTs in the last couple of days and I've got to report that I have the first ship and I'm so far doing good in terms of PKOs but performing really bad in normal tourneys. To not really dive into it much longer I'll just post the results:

PKOs



Normal





I'm also up in cash games so let's see how this month is going to turn out. Got a lot of other stuff to look over this week so planning to too work more off table work instead of the MTT grind as I need a bit more flexibility(maybe increase cash games).

Well I haven't palyed much MTTs in the past 2 weeks tbh(15 total) as I was quite busy with the company and also I found some love for the cash game streets again.
I just missed a bit more postflop play and once I needed flexibility due to my company responsibilities I just got intrigued again. Then I reached out to my friend ja.sam.gale and told him I would love to get coached by him and see if where I stand in todays PS streets.
Anyway work a bit more off table currently and I realized I would love to be good in both formats as I believe it would good for earning potential.

PKOs



Normal



So in MTTs I should be up for the month around $12k-ish and probably another 5k$ from cash makes it a solid month. Generally super satisfied as I feel like I improved which is what I currently only care about tbh.

On a side note I lost like around 5kg this month, learned my basic DJ transitions and improved a bit my spanish vocabulary, managed the company and coached students.
Indeed now looking back I did have quite a productive month and I would love to achieve that again this month.

Hey guys,

First of all Happy New 2021!!
Secondly I have to partially apologize for the lack of lack of updates in here.
The fact is I found again a decent chunk of love for the cash games and I enjoy study and playing again.
I'm a little bit currently yet undecided about my goals for 2021 and tbh they I don't like that myself but since I wont be playing much in January and will travel more I will have time to think about this more in depth.

I said I wont be posting cash game results but since I don't have much MTT results to show I'll just post also the cash game graphs for December:



PKOs


Normal



So far no plans for January and I've never been one of those I need to change things at the beginning of a new year. Will enjoy the small travels and try to think about the goals for 2021 that I could announce to keep myself accountable. Till then GL!

Got to say sloppy updates on my end....I noticed I'm for not into blogging as I used to be but on the other hand this accountability thing to put things out there it's bugging me and tbh maybe it's exactly what I need which is why I always come back despite this blog going totally off rails in many ways.
Goals changed, blog updates change, almost makes me wonder that the name of thread doesnt even make sense but somehow despite all this I feel I want to continue posting. Don't know in what capacity and frequency but I feel I'll write whatever I feel like.

So let's start with results for the first 2 months of 2021:
Cash


MTT



For a little less then 40 days of work I'm OK with the volume and there are untracked results which are not possible to display. Also the company has grown to over 30 people and so I do feel that I wont be always able to look at my volume just purely through monthly played hands as the sometimes I'll have more work with it and other times less.
Nonetheless I came up with the my personal poker goal for 2021:
- Being able to hold and be profitable on Pokerstars NL1k+
To make this goal achievable I've teamed up with ja.sam.gale for coaching and I hope this goal can be achieved through with his help and hopefully not much setbacks from the company that would hinder me in reaching this goal.
Feel like with him the red line style will be buried

In terms of goals outside of poker:
My spanish has improved and I feel like I can hold and express basic sentences. I try to speak 20min daily with my roommate although still mix it a lot with Italian. DJing took a backseat for now because I couldnt say I improved in that area.

Overall I'm really looking forward to find a healthy balance between company obligations - personal goals - hobbies/other interests outside of poker.
